FLOYD EXPLAINS HOW TO
TRANSFER QUOTAS.

Growers who buy additional to-
bacco marketing cards from other far
mers are urged to get the transfer
made through county farm agents or
AAA field representatives stationed in
the warehouses.
When this is done, the agents and
field men will make official records
of the transfers that will be used
next year in calculating larger quotas
for producers who have heavy yields
this year, explained E. Y. Floyd, AAA
executive office at State College.
A number of growers over the State
have produced good yields this sea-
son, he continued, and their produc-
ton exceeds the poundage on their
marketing cards. But other growers
with short crops won't use up the full
amount of their cards.
All growers with excess leaf to sell
should be able to get all the addi-
tional cards they need, Floyd COM
mented, for the State quota is large
enough to cover all the weed that Tar
Heel growers will have to market this
year.
He also pointed out that those who
have a larger quota than they need
will be able to get compensation for
part of their lower production by sell
ing their surplus quota cards at the
rate of not more than five cents
pound fixed by the AAA.
Growers who have surplus tobacco
that will sell for more than 10 cents
a pound will find it cheaper to buy
extra cards than to nav the tax But
it may be cheaper to pay the tax on
leaf selling for less than 10 cents a
pound.
The tax on all tobacco without mar
keting cards will be half the sales
price or three cents a pound, which
ever is higher.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-08-27
AAA FARM PROGRAM OUT
LINED BY FLOYD.

The agricultural conservation pro.
gram for 1889 will be about the same
as it is this year, e. Y. Floyd, AAA
executive officer at State College, has
announced.
Although plans for next years pro-
gram are subject to minor change, he
said, the fundamental detectives will
be retained. These are: Conserving
the soil and assuring an adequate
production of farm commodities with
out piling up price-depressing sur
pluses.
An added feature will be the es-
tablishment Of ever-normal granaries
to absorb grain in years of heavy
yield and to provide grain for con-
sumption in years of crop failure.
National allotments will be estab-
lished for soil depicting crops, and
these will be divided among the
States and then among the individual
growers.
Growers payments will be figured
on a basis of their allotted acreage
of depicting crops and on their acre
age of general crop land. If a grow
er complies with the program, he will
receive the full amount of his pay
ment But deductions will be made
for over planting his acreage of de-
pleting crops or for failure to carry
out soil-building practices recon-
mended.
The rate to be used in calculating
a growers payment will be about the
same as this year, but the exact fig
ure cannot be determined until Con-
gress makes the necessary appropria-
ton.
TO encourage the production of
vegetables for home use, family gar
den areas will not be counted as soil
depicting acreage.
The program will be administered
by state, county, and community COM
mittees, composed of farmers, who
will have the assistance of the State
College extension service and AAA
representatives.
