There is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to be available until expended, the sum of $212,000,000 to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to make parity payments to producers of wheat, cotton, corn (in the commercial corn-producing area), rice, and tobacco pursuant to the provisions of section 303 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938: Provided, however, That, notwithstanding the provisions of said sec- tion, one-half of this sum shall be apportioned among such com- modities in accordance with the provisions of said section 303 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 and one-half shall be appor- tioned among such commodities in the same proportion that funds available for sections 7 to 17, inclusive, of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act would be allocated to such commodities in connection with the 1939 agricultural conservation program on the basis of the standards set forth in section 104 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938: Provided further, That such payments with respect to any such commodity shall be made upon the normal yield of the farm acreage allotment established for the commodity under the 1939 agricultural conservation program, and shall be made with respect to a farm only in the event that the acreage planted to the com- modity for harvest on the farm in 1939 is not in excess of the farm acreage allotment established for the commodity under said program: And provided further, That the rate of payment with respect to any commodity shall not exceed the amount by which the average farm price of the commodity is less than 75 per centum of the parity price. In apportioning the funds among commodities, parity income for each commodity shall be considered a normal year's domestic con- sumption and exports (in the case of corn, that part of a normal year's domestic consumption and exports determined on the basis of the proportion that corn production in the commercial corn-producing area was of United States production during the five years 1928-32, inclusive) of such commodity times the parity price. In determining parity prices and farm prices for these commodities, that part of the marketing year ending January 31, 1939, shall be used. In case any person who is entitled to payment hereunder dies, becomes incom- petent or disappears before receiving such payment or is succeeded by another who renders or completes the required performance, payment shall, without regard to any other provisions of law, be made as the Secretary of Agriculture may determine to be fair and reasonable in all the circumstances and provide by regulations. The administration of this title shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Agri- cultural Adjustment Act of 1938 and the provisions of other titles of this joint resolution shall not apply to this title.
