.AAA REVEALS
NEW POTATO
PROPOSAL
international News Service

Details of proposed distribu-
ton plan for the present potato
crop, and approval by Secretary
Of Agriculture Wallace Of a four
year rye adjustment program
were announced today by the
AAA.
In an effort to increase income
Of potato growers from the 1895
production, the program embraces
marketing agreements and the di-
version to industrial uses of sur
pluses which threaten to result in
waste, glutted markets and de-
pressed prices.
The proposed plan provides for
payment to farmers Of Is cents
per 100 pounds of potatoes di-
verted into uses for live stock
feed, potato flour, alcohol or
other industrial channels desig-
mated by the Secretary.
Payments in the beginning
would be limited to 10 per cent
Of the 1885 crop grown b. farm
ers and would not be made on
low-grade potatoes which nor.
mally fail to enter the market.
The marketing agreement would
provide for control of interstate
shipments from Colorado, Idaho,
Nebraska and Wyoming. A SINH
lar agreement could be provided
for other States. Approval of
two thirds Of the producers in
the marketing area and one-half
the handlers is necessary.
Rye Processing Tax
The rye adjustment plan covers
the 1886 to 1889 crop years. It's
purpose is to insure profits to pro-
ducers, and to adjust production
to domestic requirements and
foreign demand.
Farmers will receive adjust
ment payments for reducing their
acreage of rye harvested for grain
by Is per cent of the average past
harvested acreage. The six crop
years between 1880 and 1885 will
be used to determine this average.
Farmers participating will re-
ceive benefit payments Of at least
35 cents a buShel on 80 per cent
of the average yield per acre on
their farms during the crop years
of 1928 to 1882. A 30-cent process
ing tax per bushel will contribute
toward meeting the benefit pay
