STA T.

the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, is amended by adding to subsection (c) thereof, two new paragraphs reading as follows: "(3) Each of the State acreage allotments for 1955 heretofore proclaimed by the Secretary shall be increased by 2 per centum or by such greater acreage as may be necessary to provide such State with an allotment equal to its 1950 allotment. I n any State having county acreage allotments for 1955 (i) the increase in the State allotment shall be apportioned among counties in the State on the same basis as the State allotment was heretofore apportioned among the counties, but without regard to adjustments for trends in acreage, and (ii) the 1955 allotment for any county in which the 1950-1954 average planted plus diverted acreage of rice, adjusted for trends in acreage, exceeds the 1945-1949 average planted acreage of rice, similarly adjusted, by more than 2 per centum shall then be further increased by such additional acreage as may be necessary to provide such county with an allotment equal to its 1950 allotment. The increases in the county acreage allotments and the increases in the State allotments, where county allotments are not determined, shall be used to establish farm acreage allotments which are fair and reasonable in relation to the applicable allotment factors specified in subsection (b) of this section and to correct inequities and prevent hardships. "(4) The reserve acreage made available for 1955 in any State for apportionment to farms operated by persons who have not produced ric« during the preceding five years or on which rice has not been planted in the preceding five years shall not be less than five hundred acres; and the additional acreage necessary to provide such minimum reserve acreages shall be in addition to the National and State acreage allotments."
