Each board will be assigned quota
of certificates emitting motorists TO
buy tires or have old ones recapped,
the office of price administration an
nounced. If there are more applicants
than there are certificates, the board
must use its discretion in alloting the
certificates.
The ruling factor will be the rela-
tive Importance Of the automobiles
functions to the war program, public
health and public safety.
OPA did not indicate the size of
quotas to be assigned to various ra-
tioning boards, but made 1t clear that
all passenger cars would be eligible
for recaps or replacement tires within
the limit Of available supplies.
In order to provide as much mileage
as possible with in minimum use Of
rubber from the country's stock pile,
emphasis viii be placed on recapping
tires now on cars. which will be done
with material made almost entirely Of
reclaimed rubber. Generally, car
owners will not be eligible for replace
ment tires if their castings can be
made serviceable by recapping.
When requirements are necessary,
the type of tire granted will depend
upon the amount of gasoline allotted
the applicant Those with the highest
gasoline ration will qualify for the best
grade of tire.
A car owner with gasoline allow
ance Of $50 miles month or less and
whose tires are worn to the recapping
point will be entitled to a recapping
certificate, and If the castings are unfit
for recapping, he win be entitled to a
certificate to purchase a grade tire.
Used tires, recapped tires, and new
tires made of reclaimed rubber are
grade 8. This mileage applies to all
motorists with basic "a" book, as
well as those holding both "a" and
"B" books.
Passenger car owners who get gaso-
line for more than $50 miles but less
than 1000 miles a month will be
eligible for recaps. or for a grade
tire If recapping is not possible. This
grade includes tires with retail price
not exceeding IS percent of the price
of standard grade l castings, damaged
new tires, factory seconds" and all
new tires manufactured before Jan.
1888.

Copies of the survey completed
by the university men were in the

aided them in gathering material
on which they based their findings.
Poll and Nielsen noted that alb
sentee ownership has decreased dur
ing the last 10 years, but even now
accounts for 46 per cent of the
valleys acreage. The trend has fol-
lowed closely upon the trends in
vegetable crop acreage, the investi-
gators found, Ownership, they said,
has shifted from medium sized to
larger and smaller farms.
Nonresident owners generally
fitted into two classes, the inVesti-
gators said. One includes about a
third of the resident owners,
and is made up of those who have
retired from farming because of ad-
vanced age or for some other SIM
liar reason and are deriving good
rentals from their property. This
class is less willing to sell, and more
interested in the welfare of the
land. according to Poll and Nielsen.
Other absentee owners have come
by their holdings through purchase,
foreclosures or inheritance, the sur
vey found.
Land owned by non-reSidentS is,
in general, of lower value, and the
value of Improvements on it is less,
the university men said.
Cmong other evils of non-reSi-
dent ownership, they cited nsecur-
ity of land tenure, lack of owner
interest in land and draining OF
farm income from the valley.
