a Harvested acreage.
The har vested acreage for any year shall be the number of acres actually harvested on the farm; except, that if such number of acres was less than 60 percent of the base or usual acreage determined for the farm in connection with the agri cultural adjustment or conservation program for such year because of flood, drought, hail or blue mold, or other tobacco plant diseases, the harvested acreage for such year shall be adjusted upward to 70 percent of the base or usual acreage for the farm for such year.
b Diverted acreage. The diverted acreage for any year shall be the base or usual acreage determined for the farm in connection with the agricultural ad justment or conservation program for such year minus the harvested acreage for such year as adjusted for abnor mal conditions: Provided, That the di verted acreage for any year shall not exceed 30 percent of the base or usual acreage.
In cases where the 1939 acreage al lotment was the same as the 1938 acreage allotment, the base or usual acreage for 1939 will be the same as for 1938.
