DF.CATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY. OCTOBER 4, 1935.

POTATO ACT IS PASSED TO AID BETTER PRICES Act Made Into Law To Establish Balance Os Production And Sale The purpose of the Potato Act of 1935 is to establish such balance between production, sale and consumption of potatoes and such marketing condition as will remove the disparity between farm prices of potatoes and prices of the articles farmers buy to give potatoes a purchasing power equal to , the purchasing power they had on 1 the average for the period of Auglust, 1919 to July, 1929. Applies to Commercial Growers Approximately 2,400,000 of the ; estimated 3,000,000 persons who grow potatoes in the United States ' make no sales and these persons will not be affected its any way by I the act. Persons whose average sales of potatoes from 1932 to 1934 were less than five bushels are entitled to an allottment upon applicTTTTon equal to such average sales. State, National Allotments The national sales allotment for i each year is to be determined by ■ the secretary of agriculture. The secretary is required to investigate probable production and market conditions for each year and to determine from available statistics I the quantity of potatoes which, if sold, will tend to establish and maintain such balance between production, sale, and consumption of potatoes and such marketing conditions as will tend to establish the purchasing power from ■ August. 1919 to July, 1929. The state allotments will be based on the average acreage, i yield and sale of potatoes during r the highest four between j 1927 and 1934. Allotments to Growers The first allotment years commenced December 1. 1935 at a time when practically all potato harvest-; ing has been completed, and when , the number of acres growing throughout the United States is at a minimum. Individual sales allotments will | ' be based upon the past production and sale of potatoes. Ninety-five ' i per cent of each state allotment is , ito be apportioned to farms upon . which potatoes have been grown 1 during one or more of the years i 1932 to 1934 inclusive. The remain-1 ing five per cent will be allotted to persons beginning or formerly' engaged in the production and sale I of potatoes. Farms from which sales in 1932, 1933 and 1934 averaged five bush-1 els of potatoes or less will receive tax-exemption stamps equal to such ; average sales. These growers will l I apply for allotments just aS the 1 ■ larger growers. Each individual will have the' I responsibility of submitting infer- 1 I mation as to his potato production I and sales to a committee of potaJ to growers in his county who will recommend an allotment for the grower in line with that of other | growers in the county. The county | committee will check the accuracy of individual growers reports. State committees of potato grow- , ers will make the county allot-1 meats. Application And Rate Os Tax Applicable only to potatoes sold i in excess of tax-exempt allotments. | the tax of three-quarters of a cent i a pound is intended to provide a ■ means of checking sales of excessing quantities of potatoes. W.’.en the first sale of potatoes is made by a grower, tax-exemption stamps or tax stamps are to be affixed to the container in which l!7e potatoes are sold. A grower who sells potatoes in excess of his allotment of tax-exenfjltion stamps I may. it they are available, obtain ’ additional tax-exemption stamps I from other growers. The price for such tax-exemption stamps and methods of transfers from one grower to another will be specified by the secretary of agriculture. A measure of insurance to growers will be provided by the transfer of tax-exemption stamps from growers who have short crops to those whose crops exceed their sale quotas. Tax stamps can be purchased at i local post offices for use in payment of the tax. Potatoes used in the manufacture of products of such low value that the potatoes would not be usI ed if the tax were applied such, as for starch or livestock food may

Illinois, will be one of the entrants at the National Dairy Show in St. Louis this mouth. She will be exhibited by the American Jersey Cattle club. Since 1924 the Jersey has earni be exempted. Packaging Provisions To facilitate collection of the tax potatoes are to lie sold in closed containers to which either tax-ex-emption or tax stamps will be affixed. Duo consideration will be given the customs of different territories in order that growers may ' continue to use their ordinary ' closed containers. Packaging may be postponed beyond the time of first sale in case of potatoes which are stored in bulk or which are to bo graded. Exports and Imports Potatoes exp o r dto foreign : countries or territories are to be exempted from the tax. Quotas will ' be set for imports to protect do- ! tnestic growers. Grower Referendum A referendum is required to be held at least 30 days prior to the beginning of each allotment year after the first allotment years, so as to afford producers of potatoes

Origin Os Cattle Breeds Is, Told By Calf Club Members

(Editor's note: These are the, last of four articles prepared by 1 members of the 4-H calf clubs on the origin of the four leading cattle I j breeds.) By Louis Koldeway “The Guernseys were founded on , the Channel Ir’ands. These islands are in the English Channel between | England and France. One of the; larger islands 73 Normandy. It was i inhabited by pirates who raided I coast towns. This Island was own-1 I ed by the Duke of Normandy, who ■ was also known as William the , Conquerer. I “The Duke sent preachers to j these islands to start Christianity and to civilize them. These preachers told him that they could not civilize islands without livestock. The Duke then sent cattle to these islands. Some were big and red and brindle in colors; others were small and yellow, fears passed in which trav dim; to and from these 1 islands was impossible because of ! the many rocks surrounding them. ’ Some of their cows were better i than others and these were used for family cows. At this time the i people found that their cattle were i different from others and they admired their qualities. The people i tailed the cattle Guernseys and Jerseys. With no outside blood mix'ed with them these were soon pure breds. In 1824 a law was passed that no mixed blooded cattle were allowed to be sent in except I for slaughter. “About this time the Guernseys ' were shipped to the United States. | At first they were imported slowi ly, but now all states have them. The Guernsey is an easy cow to 1 keep Th good condition. It is a medium sized cow and its production is great. In the last few years the Guernsey has increased greatly in number.” By Norman Augsburger “The Ayrshire cattle originated in Scotland in the county of Ayrov--ler 200 years ago. Here Robert Burns, the Scotch ploughman poet, with a group of thrifty farmers successfully pursued the breeding iof this breed of cattle. The cold Auid long northern winters, the ■ rough highland pastures, and scarcity of grain developed the Ayr- • shire race of cows with hardiness

Penalties I ; Penalties are provided for the • violation of the packaging provi- - sions. for re-use or counterfeiting ■ of stamps, failure to destroy used stamps, failure to pay the tax, re- ' use of the packages upon which • the stamps have not been destroy- ■ ed, making false statements to se- • cure tax-exemption stamps, specu- ■ lation, fraud or coercion in obtaini ing tax-exemption stamps, and possession of stamps illegally obI tained. These are not to apply to i the average purchaser for house- • hold consumption. I —o Bathtub Once Viewed as Curse Allentown.

I of constitution and of economical feeding, yielding a large amount ;of good milk. This was the type ] of cattle these thrifty Scotch farrn- : ers had long wanted and it was the only breed they could success- ■ fully use. “These Ayrshire cattle did so well that farmers of other seUT-ons i of the British lelea also saw how 1 valuable the cows would he to them and thus bought some of these j cattle. This breed was then named Ayrs“<e in honor of its home counI ty. Even as early as 1805 records were made of Ayrshire cows yield- ' ing from 24 to 40 quarts of milk daily. “Early in the last century Scottish emigrants to Canada brought 1 these cows with them. Since the Ayrshires could stand the hardships of the ocean voyages and the crude pioneer conditions, they were great favorites. The first Ayrshires were imported to the United States about 1882. In 1837 the; Massachusetts Society for promot-; ing agriculture imported a cow and : her weekly production of 16 pounds j of butter attracted a great deal of attention. "Throughout the New England States the story of the Ayrshire's good quality soon spread. Accustomed to the bleak hills of Scotland these cattle readily adapted themselves to the hilly states and be- ! came a permanent part of the agricultural program of the northeasti ern states. Today New York is the leading state, with one-third, of all the Ayrshires in the United States within its borders. “The pleasing symmetry and beauty of the Ayrshire cow is enhanced by a grace and alertness of movement that are decidedly characteristic. The head, which is carj ried on a long, slender neck, is ; clean cut, with bright eyes. In size the Ayrshire is the happy medium I of the dairy breeds, neither the ■ ■ largest nor the smallest. Ayrshire : cows weigh from 1,000 to 1,600 . pounds. The color is brownis.T-red i and white. : i “Ayrshires give many long years I, of profitable service. They usual- ! i ly have long lives, many ranging ■ from 14 to 20 years. The normal - • resistance to disease of the Ayrt j shires is a well established fact."

ADAMS COUNTY I FARMERS BUSY Farmers Experiencing One Os Busiest Seasons Os The Year Farmers in Adams county are texperienclng one of their busiest times of the year. The wheat planting is at its ; height with the probability that if , the w ather continues favorable the ■ majority of it will be planted with- i in the next few days. The lifting of sugar beets is pro- , gressing. Bad weather put some of I the growers behind in this work. ; Little corn cutting for fodder I was done this week because of the ( high winds. It is probable that much of the i corn will be left standing this year, because of the loW prices being brought l>y hay and legume crops. I Most of the barns are filled with this kind of feed which will pay i better by feeding than on the open market. Little damage has been reported 1 from the frosts so far this year. ; Illinois Holstein Sets Year Record — Calamity Nig. of Elmwood Farms 1560477. a purebred Holstein cowowned by It. V.

IMPORTANT IN FARM LENDING I — Federal Land Banks An Important Factor In Farm Lending French Lick, Ind. Oct. 4 —The 600,000 farmers who own stock in i the Federal land banks through their national farm loan associations in excess of $100,000,000 have ! built a permanent cooperative first I farm mortgage system which is 'an important factor in the farm lending field and as sucli will coni tinue to have a wholesome effect on interest rates and terms of *arm ' mortgages. This statement was I made here Thursday by W. I. My ' ers. Governor of the Farm Credit ■ Administration, at the annual meet-1 I ing of the Mortgage Bankers Asso-; ciation of America. Governor Myers (Tied the fact that interest rates on farm mortgages averaged around 8 per cent 19 years ago when the banks were 1 chartered and that these perman ent cooperative institutions since'

I then have made loans til 5 to t! I per cent on a nation wide basis. Following the establishment of the I Farm Credit Administration, ne ' said, rates have been pushed down jto the all-time low In this field - 4 per cent. The Governor stressed iuo lui i that these banke uro not government banks, that prior to the emar gem y the farmers owned priictii ully 100 per lent of the stock and that they now own nearly half, and the way is open for them a1 gain to own them completely. "The total loans by the Federal land banks," he said, "now, exceed | $2,000,000,000. One out of every four mortgaged farmers have a cooperative loan, for the number of Federal lurid bank loans now exceeds 600,000. "Building along much the same lines as the cooperative Federal , land banks. 560 product bin credit associations have been organized and have been furnishing shortterm production credit during the last two* years, now having loans outstanding amounting to $110,0V0,000. Similarly, credit has been made available to farmers' cooperi atlve buying and selling organizu- . lions, through the establishment of i 13 banks for cooperatives. These , banks have served the credit needs ! of over 1,000 local cooperative mar keting and purchasing organizations which is 5 times the nnmUer | served at any one time by the old : Federal Farm Board." “In brief," Governor Myers said. I “the Farm Credit Administration ’is a cooperative credit system j through which farmers reach the investment market and obtain funds for long term credit, shortterm credit and credit for eiaiperative marketing and purchasing organizations. These loans are made on terms fitted to farmers' needs and at the lowest possible cost consistent with sound bsiness practice.” Kidnaping Case Near To Jury M xico, Mo..
