The new law is effective for
the 1862 and 1868 crop years 0
a trail basis for all kinds of
leaf except hurley.
Fiye-Acre Max mum
Under the law, a grown may
lease up to five acres from an
other farmer or farmers and
tran fer the growing operations
to his own farm. The ASCS Of
flee will assist in he transfer
OF acreage in respect to the al
lotment. but growers must make
their own arrangements direct
with ether growers as far as
financial mechanics are concern
ed.
To maintain the national yield
established by the farmer-Sanct-
Toned allotment program, the
case and transfer arrangements
efnbody certain restrictions.
The yield a farmer makes on
his own land is a determining
factor when he goes to trans
fering other allotments to his
property.
For example, If the yield of
the leasing farm is the same as
the yield of the farm acreage
being acquired through trans
fer, then five acres could be
switched for five acres. The
same would hold true for a
farmer transferring acreage to
his farm from farm which had
lower yield than his own during
the past three years.
Leasing Mechanics
On the other hand, if the yield
on the acquiring farm acreage is
greater than that ct the leasing
farm, then only the percentage
OF tie acquired yield that would
equal that Of the leasing farm
could be transferred. A man with
a yield of 1900 pounds per acre
on five acres who wants to
transfer leaf from a man who
gets a yield of 1880 pounds per
acre on five acres would NOT
be able to transfer five acres,
but 449 acres.
The transfer agreements safe

Iotnent regardless of whether
We leases all or part of his acre
age, under the new legislation.
The Virginia Dark-Fired Tobac-
co Growers Association, which
backed the bill through Con
gress. views the new allotment
legislation as means of getting
implanted acres back into
production. The association also
feels the new law affords an op-
portunity to growers with small
allotments.

College Funds Cut Below

Separate Board
Not Likely Now

II cuts in both of Longwood
Colleges operating and capital
outlay requests for the 1962-64
biennium aren't restored. seri-
Gus obstacles will be raised to
the institutions growth to meet
enrolment demands, Dr.. F. G.
ankford. Jr., said today.
In Herald interview on de-
velopments in the llrst days of
the new session of the Legis-
lature. the LongwoUd president
said he intends to make a
strong plea for restoration dur
ing committee hearings on the
state budget just ahead.
President Landlord also said
he does not expect. nor does he
feel it advisable at this juno
ture. that the legislature will
approve a pending bill to give
Longwood its own governing
board.
Del. Harrison Mann. of Airing
ton, has introduced a bill which
would remove LongWood and
Madison Colleges from the gov
erning control of the State
Board Of Education and give
them independent, separat
boards.
Council Approves
Such separate boards have
been recommended by the Vir-
ginia Council OF Higher Educa-
ton. chairmaned by DR.. Dabney
S. Lancaster. former president
of Longwood.
DR.. Landlord said the most
drastic effect Of some $4,000
cut from his operating request
for the biennium would be to
prevent growth of the faculty.
He said he feels strongly the
faculty must expand to help the
college keep its teacher-student
ratio in effective. efficient pro-
portion as the enrolment scars
"Somtimes I feel that there
is not adequate awareness in
Virginia Of the pressing de.
mahds for college enrolment.
We have been sending many
students to North Carolina;
where will they go when that
states colleges are full?" he
said.
The operating cuts would also
hinder the colleges plans to
provide the teaching staff for
regional adult education pro-
gram through the University of
Virginia Extension program.
LongWood has been authorized
to serve in this capacity, but a
larger faculty will be required,
according to Dr.. Landlord.
Building Restricted
The proposed budget also cuts
back the Longwood capital out

Crab canneries Start Processing

Despite the threat to the sup ply of crab posed by the Russian trawling operations off Kodiak shores. both Alaska King Crab and King Crab, Inc, canneries have resumed production. APA continues full time operation ton without let-up.
 Alaska King Crab Superin- tendent Emil Norton advised that they had resumed opera tions on Tuesday. Bob Springhill, King Crab, Inc, Supervisor, who has been hospitalized due to ill- ness the past week, is back at 1t at the cannery and said they had operated one day and will be back into daily operation as soon as the crab supply begins com- ing in.
 "We have the Anna A tender ing and our shippers are now busy shifting gear from the Marmot area to the Two Headed Island area,' Springhill said.
 A number of the crab boats who had been forced out of the Two Headed Island king crab fishery are reported to be re- turning there since hearing that an American naval vessel is now patrolling there. Both the U.S.S. Kodiak and the C.G. Cutter Storis have been operating in that area.

 Skipper Antril Suydam of the Jaguar made an appeal that the federal government attempt to

 to use crab pots if they cannot

 trawling and told federal off
 cials, Give me a husky enough

 myself .. that's for sure"
 In an effort to spur definite commitment from the State De partment Gov. Egan brought out the fact, The federal government hasn't made an effort to get an agreement with Russians over fish. ing rights, and that historically the Kodiak area was developed by Alaskan fishermen for king crab fishing"
 Gov. Egan, Undersecretary of State Harrington and a party of state and federal officials flew to the Two-Headed Island area Wednesday where they boarded the USCG Cutter Storis, and watched a segment of If Soviet vessels ia the area. Upon his re- turn Gov. Egan said that the State Department man was visually inn pressed by the number of nearby Russian vessels as we'll as those which could be seen in the dis tance.
 The Mirror, which called atten- tion to the fishing piracy of the Soviets to both news services and ultimately to the entire nation, was not asked to join in the Two Headed trip, although two Anchor age newspapermen were included Tn the press party, and consequent ly we have little information on that phase of the investigation.

State Depart ment.
 Those of you who were there will readily understand why our local fishermen feel so bitter about the hearing. The only bright spot apparent was the presence of our own Alaskan Governor Bill Egan who obviously shared the same feelings expressed during the eve ning'S hearings by many fisher men. Governor Egan, who won the confidence of Alaskan fishermen, particularly Kodiak fishermen, when he ran the Japanese out of Shelikof Straits earlier this year and did this job without a shred of federal support. boldly told the federal officials, The State of Alaska is no more afraid of the Russians than it was of the Japanese insofar as our right 10 Shelikof Straits is concerned II was only through Egan's determi- nation and courage that our Sheli- kof Strait fisheries are not at this very moment overrun with these massive foreign fishing fleet op erations.
 Oscar Dyson reflected the gen. eral opinion and mood of the local people when he openly charged the federal government with con tinually backing off under Russian pressure" It is appeasement. we've got to take a stand some where Dyson said as the court room audience broke into applause.
 However, despite the testimony given by our fishermen, the fed eral officials insisted that there wasn't sufficient proof that the Russians are taking king crab or even are responsible for the heavy loss of expensive pot gear. It didn't appear that they were very an xious to recognize proof even when offered. They even made mention of the fact that the Rus SianS had had a poor agricultural harvest this year and need the fish Their main reaction seemed 10 be that maybe somehow our fish ermen are responsible for not put ting better markers or buoys on their gear even though they were told that the more visible such markers were, the greater the loss of gear became.
 While listening to their remarks you got the impression that at any time they might come right out and say that our fishermen should be careful not to interfere with the Russian trawling by putting pots outl In short, the hearings confirmed the fears and suspicious caused by federal actions tor lack of actions) in the earlier Japanese Shelikof Strait dispute. If the at titude and reaction of these fed eral officials are indicative of what their superiors might do, or fail to do, in this affair Kodiak fishermen are going to end up be- ing owed a great big kiss.
 Indicative of the feeling of local people following the hearing was the offer by Dewitt Fields of S1OO to start fund for q gunboat to protect our fishermen from these foreign fishing boats" Another

NO ARGUMENTS

There was scarcely an argument on any of the proposals, and after the Council had approved, Coun- cilman Wilton White asked that the ''mishandling" conception be clarified.
 White said that it was frequent practice to temporarily borrow from one fund when another was short to save borrowing and pay ing interest, and 1t was commonly praeticed in virtually all munici- palities on short-time basis.
 Rep. Pete Deveau stated that 1t was his understanding after con sulting with an Anchorage attor- ney, that the sales tax monies were dedicated tax and 1t was illegal to spend that portion assigned to the Small Boat Harbor for any other purpose of course" he added, that is one lawyers opin- ion.7

Harmony Prevails As Council 0.k.'s Harbor Facilities

The dove of peace circled the Kodiak city hall and the Thursday city council meeting as the City Dads agreed to a series of Small Boat Harbor improvements pre- sented to them by a score of fisher men.
 Only last week the Democrats at a party meeting attacked the Coun- cil for ignoring for two years the demands of fishermen for fire fighting equipment, a telephone and sanitation facilities and hinted that boat harbor funds were being mlshandled.
 But as the demands were pre- sented and discussed Thursday, there was no hint of disagreement on council members as they voted to provide fire fighting equipment as recommended by the volunteer fire chief; provide quarters for a watchman overlooking the harbor; public toilet facilities; free tele- phone; and agreed to study plans for grid for larger boats and also a stiff leg facility as we'll as a marker on the reef inside the boat harbor.
