SEC. 10.-DIVISION OF PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIONS

(a) Payments and deductions in connection with general soildepleting crops, crops for which special crop acreage allotments are established, and restoration land goals.-(1) The net payment or net deduction computed for any farm with respect to general soildepleting crops or any crop for which a special acreage allotment is established, shall be divided among the landlords, tenants, and sharecroppers in the same proportion (as indicated by their acreage shares expressed in terms of either acreages or percentages) that such persons are entitled at the time of harvest to share in the proceeds (other than a fixed commodity payment) of such crop (s) grown on the farm in 1939: Provided, That if because of crop failure the harvested acreage of any such crop (s) is less than the planted acreage of such crop (s) and the county committee finds, in accordance with instructions issued by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, that use of the harvested acreage as a basis for the division of the net payment or net

deduction would result in a materially different division from that which would result from the use of the planted acreage, such net payment or net deduction shall be divided among the landlords, tenants, and sharecroppers in the proportion that the county committee determines that such persons would have shared in the proceeds of such crop(s) if the entire acreage planted to such crop (s) in 1939 had been harvested: Provided, further, That if any such crop (s) is not grown on the farm in 1939, the net payment or net deduction computed for such crop (s) shall be divided among the landlords, tenants, and sharecroppers in the proportion that the county committee determines that such persons would have shared in the proceeds of such crop (s) if the entire acreage in such acreage allotment had been planted and harvested in 1939: Provided, further, That where all persons who are entitled to receive a landlord's share of the proceeds of any such crop (s) on any farm comprising separately owned tracts have executed a Form ACP-86 with respect to such farm, the share of each such person in the net payment or net deduction computed for such farm with respect to such crop (s) shall be determined on the basis of each such person's respective share (as indicated by his acreage share expressed in terms of either acreage or percentage) in the acreage allotments which could have been established for such crop (s) on the land in which he has an interest.

(2) The net payment or net deduction computed with respect to the restoration land goal for any farm shall be divided equally between the owners and operators thereof unless the county committee determines that the owners and operators thereof did not contribute equally to the acreage in the restoration land goal and to the carrying out of restoration land measures thereon, in which event such payment or deduction shall be divided in the proportion that the county committee determines that such owners and operators contributed to the acreage in the restoration land goal and to the carrying out of restoration land measures thereon.

(3) In computing such net payments and such net deductions with respect to acreage allotments, general crops and restoration land goals, the deduction with respect to failure to prevent wind and water erosion, cropping restoration land, breaking out of native sod, and any net deduction computed with respect to the soil-building goal, shall be regarded as deductions with respect to general crops.

(b) Payments in connection with soil-building practices. The amount of net payment earned in connection with the soil-building goal for the farm shall be made to the landlord, tenant, or sharecropper who carried out the soil-building practices. If the county committee determines that more than one such person contributed to the carrying out of soil-building practices on the farm in 1939, such payment shall be divided in the proportion that the units contributed by each such person to such practices bears to the total units of such practices carried out on the farm in 1939. All persons contributing to the carrying out of any soil-building practice on a particular acreage shall be deemed to have contributed equally to the units of such practice unless such persons establish to the satisfaction of the county committee that their respective contributions thereto were not in equal proportion, in which event such units shall be divided in the proportion which the county committee determines each such person contributed thereto.

(c) Proration of net deductions.-If the sum of the net payments computed for all persons on a farm exceeds the sum of the net deductions computed for all persons on such farm, the sum of the net deductions computed for all persons on such farm shall be prorated among the persons on such farm for whom a net payment is computed, on the basis of such computed net payments. If the sum of the net deductions computed for all persons on a farm equals or exceeds the sum of the net payments computed for all persons on such farm, no payment will be made with respect to such farm and the amount of such net deductions in excess of the net payments shall be prorated among the persons on such farm for whom a net deduction is computed, on the basis of such computed net deductions.

SEC. 11.-INCREASE IN SMALL PAYMENTS

The total payment computed under sections 8 to 10, inclusive, for any person with respect to any farm shall be increased as follows: (1) Any payment amounting to 71 cents or less shall be increased to $1;
