IM7. They wtr % Changes In Tobacco Law. . 'congresf recently made change; in the law which are of special in terest to flue-cured tobacco grow ers, announced Au K. McAdams, office manager of the Orange County ASC Office. "These changes were enacted by Congress to strengthen the tobac co 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 tobacco marketed is increased from SO to 75 per cent of the average market price for flue-cured tobacco for the preceding marketing year. Baa ed on present estimates* of the 1B54 market price, the penalty on excess flue-cured tobacco for 1955 will be about 39 cents peT 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 other words, future allotments will not be increased because of excess acreage. 3. The farm acreage allotment for tobacco shall be reduced if any producer on the farm files, or aids or acquiesces in file filing of, any false report with respect,to the acreage of tobacco grown on the farm. McAdams announced that the 1955 acreage will in all cases be measured and computed in acres and hundredths of acres. “You will ^e notified of the •neavSrerf .rci %+ ' { > ' rrrr J. hundtcdihs o; •ires.” .he said. "There will be no hundredths tolerance above the allotment. Any excess acreage wiH be computed in hundredths and all of the acre age in excess of the allotment must be disposed of to avoid the market ing quota penalty on such acreage and to be eligible for price sup port. <■ "Any farmer may request re measurement of his* 1955 tobacco acreage provided a request for re niea.su/.ment is filed with the county ASC office witiin five days f:om the date of the notice of mea sured acreage and at the same time you pay the estimated cost of remeasuring the acreage. A pro ducer may not - request remeasure ment of only a part of the acreage on the- farm in which he has 100 per cent interest or in witch he and one other producer share a 100 per cent interest. “Any farmer may dispose of any excess acreage to come within his alloMhent provided he notifies the county ASC office within five day3 from the date of the notice of measured acreage of his intention ‘o dispose oT~ the excess acreage and provided the excess acreage is disposed of within one week from the date of his declaration. At the time he declares his intention he sill be required to deposit the es sition of the excess acreage. Nth limated cost of checking the dispo redit for disposition of excess to bacco may be given if any of the tobacco on the acreage to be dis- ■< posed of has been harvested and any ’disposition of excess acreage must be made in the presence of a representative of the county ASC committee.*’ GUEST MINISTER The Reverend Robert Gardner, former pastor of the Reynolds Baptist Church of Reynolds.
