Object ion to Certain Features of Measure Is Voiced in Senate Grange Urges Defeat of Bill and Favors Drafting of New One _ -?? Passed Wednesday in the House by a big majority, the proposed 1938 farm control bill is now before the f niled States Senate for considera tion. early reports following the opening of the discussion there in dicating the measure will be sub ject to a strong attack as it applies lo livestock raising and dairying. The legislation which the. Hniiw ar? copied by a 263 to 135 bi-partisan vote was a revised draft which a | senate-house conference committee wrote from provisions of bills pass ed by both the House' and Senate last December. Ail of North Caro lina's eleven representatives sup ported the measure. Briefly stated, the proposed bill is designed to level off the peaks and valleys in supplies of the nation s major crops, including cotton, to l aero rice, wheat and corn. It pro poses to do this through production controls, induced by loans and bene fits to farmers complying with acre age- limitations, and marketing con trols whenever voted by two-thirds > of farmers participating in referen dums t The provisions for cotton, corn and I tolwm are? Corn Acreage allotments to yield uoimal supply, plus a reserve of 10 l>cr cent Quotas may be imposed when prospective yields are 17 per cent above normal Violations of quotas will bring a 15-cent a-bushel penalty The 3U0-busliel grower will . be exempted Tobacco Quotas may be imposed when prospective yields are 5 per cent above normal, penalty for sell ing tobacco beyond the quota will be 50 per cent of the market price Cotton The government will fix national, slate and county acreage al lotments. sufficient to fill the na tion's normal requirement: for the next year, considering rarryuver. ilTOwers can market all p oduction fioni their allotted acreage. If the agriculture department finds pro -duclmrr w?W exceed -We t?-r cent of normal, marketing quotas may be imposed, restricting cotton sales Above quota sales will mean a 2-cenl a pound penalty. The 1937-38 cotton allotment must yield between 10, OUO.OOO and 11.500.000 bales The tobacco section of the bill is not expected to meet any strong op position. and its provisions are more extensive than those under the old AAA program Numerous factors are to be consider id in determining a farmer's base acreage such as per rentage of cleared land planted to tobacco, the aveiago planted in a given community to the crop, exist ing conditions on individual farms, previous plantings and so on. It will be quite difficult to handle the al lotments. but the proposed yard stick can certainly be used with a (Continued on page ?&) ? 1 ' (bounty Tournament To Attract Crowds The 1938 edition of the Martin County High School basketball tournament getting underway here next Wednesday evening is expect ed to attract record crowds, and the teams from Jamesville.
