ASC Office Points Out Changes In Laws Affecting Flue-Cured Growers New Provisions Are Listed; Penalty On Excess Leaf Higher Congress recently made changes in the law which are of special interest to flue-cured to bacco growers, reports Walter I. Fields, office manager of the Moore County ASC Office. “These changes were enacted by Congress to strengthen the to bacco marketing quota program and apply to the 1955 crop,” he said. The new provisions that affect flue-cured tobacco are: 1. The penalty on excess tbbac- co marketed is increased from 50 to 75 per cent of the average mar ket price for flue-cured tobacco for the preceding marketing year. Based on present estimates of the 1954 market price, the penalty on excess flue-cured tobacco for 1955 will be about 39 cents per pound. - 2. Any acreage of tobacco har vested in excess of the farm acre age allotment for 1955 or any sub sequent year shall not be taken into account in establishing state and farm acreage allotments. In wiU not be increased because of excess acreage. 3. The farm acreage allotment for tobacco shall be reduced il any prodvAper on the farm files, or aids or acquiesces in the filing of, any false report with respect to the acreage of tobacco grown on the farm. Fields announced that the 1955 acreage will in all cases be meas ured and computed in acres and hundredths of acres. Measured in Hundreths “You will be notified of the measured acreage in acres and hundredths of acres,” he said. “There will be no hundredths tolerance above the allotment. Any excess acreage will be com puted in hundredths and all of the acreage in excess of the al lotment must be disposed of to avoid the marketing quota penal ty on suet acreage and to be eligible for price support. “Any farmer may request re measurement of his 1955 tobacco acreage provided a request for re measurement is filed with the county ASC office within five other words, future allotments I days from the date of the notice The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States MYRA SCOTT ROES.

A producer may not request remeasurement of only a part of the acreage on the farm in which he has 100 per cent in terest or in which he and one other producer share a 100 per cent interest. May Dispose of Excess “Any farmer may dispose of any excess acreage to come with in his allotment provided he no tifies the county ASC office with- ■ in five days from the date of the notice of measured acreage of his intention to dispose of the excess acreage and provided the excess acreage is disposed of within one week from the date of his declar ation. “At the time he declares his in tention he will be required to de posit the estimated cost of check ing the disposition of the excess acreage. The charge for checking disposition of excess acreage will be $1 per tenth of an acre to be disposed of with a minimum of $3 per farm. “No credit for disposition of excess tobacco may be given if any of the tobacco on the acreage to be disposed of has been har vested and any disposition of ex cess acreage must be made in the presence of a representative cf the county ASC committee.” There are now about 364 commercial plants in North Caro lina which maintain stocks of grains, either seasonally or dur ing the entire year.
