A May memo from the North Central Division informs New Madrid county farmers they may release all or part of their 1959 cotton acreage allotments by written agreement. Each 10 acres released increases soil depleting allotment by 36 acres, but the releasing farmer forfeits any price adjustment or Agricultural Conservation payments tied to the released acreage.
