AAA ALIOlDs Potato
Tax Exemption To
Aid Small Producer
All Growers Who Sell Not More
Than so Bushels Per Annum
May Get Tax Exemption

An increase from five to SO BUSH
els in the tax exemption allotments
for individual potato growers under
the 1886 control act has been
favorably reported as the AAA an
nounced organization Of national
potato. advisory committee.
The control law, which becomes
effective December /, provides that
a producer may have an automatic
tax exemption allotment of five
bushels annually. A tax of three
fourths of a cent a pound is to be
collected on all potatoes sold in ex-
cess of the national allotment Of
$4,000, 900 bushels.
AAA officials have informed
committee members, however, that
they believe authority to raise the
tax exemption allotment exists UNI
der the law, the committee prompt
ly adopted recommendation for
such action.
Lifting this exemption, it was
said, would eliminate many thou
sands of small producers from the
necessity of obtaining a special al
lotment or from paying the excess
quota levy. \
It was said, however, that all
growers who desired to sell pota-
toes would have to apply for the
automatic tax exemption allotment.
The recommendation provided
that regulations be drawn to permit
all growers who sell not more than
so bushels of potatoes annually to
obtain tax exemption stamps sufi-
cient to cover sales in the amount
of their actual average sales during
the base period 1932-35.
The national advisory committee
contended that the intent of the act
was to prevent periodic accumula-
ton of large commercial SURPRISES
and not to interfere with the estab-
IsShed practices of small non-corn-
mercial growers.

Burley Tobacco
Growing Doubled
In Ashe COUNTY
Land Here Is Adapted TO PrOduc-
ton OF Plant But Cultivation
Is Still I'm Infancy

Tobacco raising in Ashe county
for commercial purposes is in its
infancy or rather an experimental
stage, because there was no thought
of trying to raise tobacco for the
market until about five or six years
ago. Rich and small plots of one
half to an acre were set aside for
this purpose. Soon the farmers dis
covered that this was one Of the
best crops for ready money. So, the
acreage devoted to hurley tobacco
raising has been on a rapid increase
ever since.
A few figures taken from the
Farm Forecaster will serve to show
the results accomplished in the past
three years. In 1892, there were on
ly 81 acres of hurley tobacco grown
as far as the government could as
certain.
The 1882 Yield averaged 758
pounds per acre making total of
5O,786 pounds valued at $5,434 Or
107 cents per pound. In 1893 there
were 234 acres yielding $4,000
pounds valued at $32,76O or IA
cents per pound. In 1884 the first
year of crop reduction under the
AAA there were 1913 acres produc-
ing 900 pounds per acre valued at
$34,393 or 18 cents per pound. In
1888 the pounds per acre was 1000
being equalled by only one other in
the state Pennsylvania.
The value per acre in 1882 was
$81. In 1888 the value per acre was
$40. In 1884 he value per acre was
$178. Under the contract with the
government the original growers
cannot increase their acreage. It is
predicted that the tobacco crop in
Ashe county will be twice this year
what it was last.
Most of the tobacco is grown in
the north side of the county in a
rich, loamy section and in the por-
tiers clay section. The tobacco is
well adapted to making covers for
the plug product as well as cigar
wrappers.
Looking at the rapid strides Ashe
county is making in this field, it
looks as if this county will soon be
one of the leading counties west of
the Blue Ridge in the production of
hurley tobacco. The fertility of the
soil which has in some cases pro-
duced 1900 pounds per acre is
highly adaptcd to this type OF to-
bacco.

National Anti-SdlOOn
Head Sees Return Of
Prohibition In Nation
After Studying Repeal In A States
Says That DryS Will Win
BY Year 1945

F. Scott Mcbride, general super
intendent of Anti-Saloon League OF
America, asserted Saturday, in St
Louis, that two-year survey indi-
Gated the probable return to pro-
hibition by 1915.
The dry leaders forecast was bas-
ed on a study of the effect of repeal
in A States.
Summarizing results of the sur
vey in his biennial report to the
board of directors, preceding the
formal opening of the leagues an
sss ssaI convention tomorrow, Nc
Bride said: i:
"Over the country probably 1000
different local units have voted dry
within this two-year period.
Il believe there is every indica-
ton x majority of the States
will again be dry by their own &C.
ton by 1910, and with an aggres-
sive campaign 40 States can be dry
by 1945."
Mcbride stated he did not believe
national prohibition would be en-
acted again until the people are
back of it in at least 40 States and
until large portions of the other
States are dry"
State and local elections, he de-
clared, showed a significant trend
toward return to the dry's objec-
ton.
Statewide contests have been
held in Mississippi, Georgia, North
Dakota, Maine, Kansas, West Vir-
ginia, Alabama, Texas, and Ken
lucky. The drys won in Mississippi,
North Dakota, Kansas, Alabama,
and Georgia"
In other States, he added, the
drys. have shown increasing power
