County Agent.) : I no-.v have a large number of gov- j eminent bulletins dealing with the; Potato Act of 1935. which interested! farmers may secure oy camrg atmyj office. In tiie meantime I submit some; excerps regarding- allotments which j are of principal interest at this tune, j The National and State Sales Allot-j iiienls The national sales allotment for each allotment year (December 1 to! November 3U) is to be determined byi the Secretary of Agriculture. The1 Secretary* is required to investigate probable production and market conditions for each year and to determine from available statistics the quantity of potatoes which, if sold, will tend to establish ar.u maintain such balance between production, sale, and consumption of potatoes and such marketing conditions as will tend to 'statlish prices to potato producers that will give potatoes a purchasing power equal to the purchasing power of potatoes for the period August iOlS-JuIy 1929. Additional requirements are that Lhis quantity of potatoes be such as will not reduce the *^fRl net income of potato growers below their largest probable income from production of potatoes, or tend to cause an excessive shift in consumption from potatoes to other commodities. Apportionment of the national sales allotment will be made to the various states as outlined below. For each state: (1) The potato acreage fcr the four rears iu which potato acreage was ?.igni;st (luring the years 1927-1934, inclusive, will be selected and aver*?ed. 2) Similarly, the yield for the four /ears in which the yield was highest inring the years 1927-1034, inclusive, will be selected and averaged. (3> The average annua: percentage the total sales of the potato crops produced in the state in the years 1929-1934 will be determined. (4) Tiie three averages will be multiplied together to determine a number of bushels. For example: 266,800 acres times 113.5 bushels times 57.5 per cent, equals 17,412,035 bushels. ',5). The percentage which the resulting number of bushels for any state is of the total of such unmoors of bushels for all states will be the percentage of the national sales allotment apportioned to such state. The act provides for adjustments in the apportionment determined for each state to meot Changing conditions of production and sales. Such adjustments would tend to bring the sales allotment for each state into line with sales of potatoes grown m the state. Allotments to Growers The first allotment year commences December 1, 1935, at a time when practically all potato harvesting has been completed, and when the number of acres growing throughout u7o omptSi ?uuea is at a hhnimurn. AU potatoes hai-vcsted on or after this date come within the requirements of the act Potato growers who harvest and sell potatoes can apply for sales allotments in the county in which they produce potatoes. Individual sales allotments will be j i i @ 19K. liccnr * Hnu Toucco j . . . - . ATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVgRY ' based upon the past production and; sales of potatoes. Ninety-five per cent, of each state allotment is to be apportioned to farms upon which potatoes have been grown during one j or more of the years 1932-1934. in-j elusive, and 5 per cent, is to he avail- j able for apportionment to farms oper- j ated by persons beginning or former-! ly engaged in the production and sale; of potatoes, and who are not eligi-! ble tor an equitable allotment n' j farms used for potato production in' 1932. 1933 or 1934. Any quantity not, apportioned to these growers is to be; i available for increasing the ailot'ments of old producers. The act spe-j jcifies facts, such as available potato |acreage and equipment, which are to; he considerid in determining allot incuts. These provisions assure protection j to old producers yet provide for pro- j ductJpn and sale of potatoes by growers who have not grown potatoes dur- j ing any of the years 1932-1934 or] who are for other reasons not eligible j for sales quotas under thv first classi- ' i nation. Farms from which sales in 193?, 1933. and 1934 averaged five bushels 1 of potatoes or less will receive taxexemption stamps equal to such average sales. These growers will apply for allotments just as large growers, j Each individual giower has uie responsibility of submitting information a3 to his potato production and sales to a committee of potato grow- f ers in his countj'. The committee will determine the accuracy of this infor-! mation and will recommend an allotment for the grower in line with the allotments of omer growers in the county whose circumstances are similar. A committee of growers for each state will review the allotments recommended in all counties in the1 state and assist in deciding upon any adjustments that need to be made. Growers from the different states will cooperate with extension service representav'ves and the Agricultura1 j Adjustment Administration in niak- ; ing final decisions as to allotments ! which should be approved for grow-! ers in each state, taking into consid- j eration ail available statistical data ' including that submitted on giower' applications. Forms and regulations for use in connection with allotments and for other purposes will bo distributed to growers through the extension offices of county agents who will liuvr- the assistance of grower committeemen.

Caldwell Record. When the United States Supreme c Court gets through wrestling with vNRA and other National problems it '' may be then called upon to solve 1 a legal problem that has stumped the s' most sagacious legal minds of the ,city of Hickory. Ray Hilton, colored, ! of i-enoir, was according to reports ! arrested in Hickory on a charge of '[Operating an automobile while inj toxicated. Evidence introduced in the trial left no doubt about Hilton bc': ing intoxicated. That point was ad' mitted. But other evidence tended to "'prove that the engine to Hilton's car " had for some reason ceased to perform the duties ordinarily expected 1 of an auto engine. This being the case, Htiton had engaged the services of some two or three other colored men who were propelling the auto by man power, in other words, pushing it. This brought about the con' I tention that Hilton was not guilty s | of operating a motor driven vehicle y i and it seems that there is no law y j against driving a man-drawn or pusli' j ed vehicle. It was argued Uiat a train e | without an engine is a train just the s same and that an auto without the 5- regulation motive poiver is an auto ' nevertheless.
