Alaska were told today to go to work
or get off their claims in warning
by Secretary of the Interior Harold

first of July, Secretary Ickes said
mines operating on public lands in
the Western States would be subject
to relocation and those in Alaska,
outright forfeiture.

.AAA Changes
Explained By
E. Y. Floyd

College Station, Raleigh, Aug. IL.
Changes in the agricultural ad-
justment act requested by tobacco
farmers were made in amendments
passed by Congress and signed by
the President, it was pointed out
here today by e. Y. Floyd, AAA
executive officer of State college.
The amendments, four in number,
are designed to further simplify and
popularize the Triple-A crop con-
troll program, Floyd said. They
change the date for proclaiming
tobacco marketing quotas, provide
for quotas equal to the actual pro-
duction on the farm acreage allot-
ment, avoid the necessity Tor a
second referendum on Burley and
dark tobacco in the same marketing
year, and change the penalty ;or
excess marketings from a percen-
tagc OF the gross price to flat rate
per pound.
The secretary of agriculture is
now empowered to call referendum
on quotas any time from the be-
ginning of the marketing year to-
December l. 1t appeared that this
would be necessary this year 10
stimulate prices when the Georgia
and Florida markets opened low,
but with the higher prices being
paid on the border Belt markets, the
need Tor an immediate referendum
on quotas for 1910 was lessened.
The establishment of marketing
quotas as the actual production on
tne acreage allotment rather than
a fixed number of pounds is almost
certain to make the program more
popular, Floyd said. In fixing the
acreage allotments, the amendment
provides for a uniform increase in
allotments determined for small
farms.
The penalty amendment changes
the basis of penalty for marketings
in excess Of the quota from a per
centage basis to a flat rate Of 10
cents per pound of flue-cured,
Burley and Maryland tobacco, and
5 cents per pound for all other
kinds
