cable for determining farm corn acreage allotments for the 1939 crop in counties in the commercial corn-producing area under Title m of said Act, to be in force and effect until rescinded, amended, or superseded by regulations hereafter made by the Secretary of Agriculture under said Act.
The applicable provisions of the Act in Section 329, paragraph b, provide that The acreage allotment to the county for com shall be apportioned by the Secretary, through the local committees, among the farms, within the county on the basis of till able acreage, crop-rotation practices, type of soil, and topography.

Sec. 721.111 Determination of farm corn acreage allotments for 1939. The county committee, with the assistance of other local committees in the county and subject to the approval of the State com mittee, shall determine farm acreage al lotments of corn for farms in the com mercial corn-producing area for the calendar year 1939 on the basis of till able acreage, crop rotation practices, type of soil, and topography of the farm land as follows:
a Determination of c o r n areas within a county. In counties in which the county committee, with the approval of the State committee, determines th at there exist two or more distinct types of land with respect to adaptation to the production of com, area determinations will be made. Land best adapted to the production of corn because of soil types or distinguishing characteristics, such as overflow or river bottom land, will be designated as Area A. Land less adapted to the production of corn, such as uplands, will be designated as Area B. Counties in which no distinct dif ference exists with respect to soil types or topographical characteristics will not have area determinations.
b Determination with respect to till able acreage and crop rotation practices.
As a basis for giving consideration to tillable acres and crop rotation practices in the apportionment of the county corn acreage allotment to farms, the county committee shall first determine for each farm the usual acreage of corn. This acreage shall be the average acreage of com planted plus the acreage deter mined by the county committee to have been diverted from the production of com under the agricultural conserva tion programs during the years 1936
and 1937. If the county committee finds that the acreage planted to corn in such years, 1936 and 1937, 1 was abnormally low due to extreme drought or flood or to part of the 1939 cropland being previ ously devoted to other than cropland uses; 2 is not typical of the farm for 1939 due to a change in the customary crop rotation practices; 3 is not typi cal because a part of the cropland on the farm was devoted to the production of sweet com for canning under con tract for 1936 or 1937, or both, and is not under similar contract for 1939; 4
