Recommendations Made
At Potato Conference
Recommendations relative to the
1939 agricultural conservation pro
gram and to marketing of potatoes
were made to the U. b. departmen
of agriculture at a recent nationa
conference of potato growers held
in Washington.
Tohn C. Broom of Aurora and
H. C. Meads of Weeksville were
the North , Carolina representative
at the meeting.
Among the recommendations were
That the rate of payments in con
nection with potato acreage allot
ments 4e the same in 1939 as they
were in 1938; that the methods o
determining state, county and farm
acreaee allotments be unchanged
that the AAA be urged to obtain
as rapidly as possible the mast re
cent and accurate data to be used
as a basis for adjusting state po
tato yield figures; and that great
er authority be granted county
and communiy committees to ad
just yield figure for individual
farms.
The industry also requested the
U. S. department of agriculture to
develop marketing agreement pro
grams and submit them to potato
growers in a referendum as soon
as possible, and that .such market
ing programs be supplements to
diversion programs. .
The extension service, AAA and
other educational agencies were
asked 'to cooperate iin disseminat
ing information as to marketing
agreements and diversion programs
A plea was made for research
studies dealing with the possibilities
and development of new uses and
new outlets for potatoes as
means of handling surpluses.
Finally, a national potato, com
mittee was suggested to adequately
represent the industry in assisting
with the establishment of practical
procedures for remedying the po
tato problem.

Pasquotank swine growers meet
ing recently declared that they lik
ed the cooperative method of hog
marketing better than the non
competitive, direct packer-buyer
method which was sought to be im
posed upon them. The Pasquotank

ers in the Albemarle section to
make more effective the cooperative
plan established there by the State
college extension service.
