MOOTHART, President, TANDY URGES % (Continued From Page One) tions end determine allotment* to each state on the baala of depart* 1 ment of agriculture statistics. As In the cotton control act, an allotment for the nation will be set up. and apportioned among the va rious potato producing states. The apportionment of each state will be determined on the basis of the an nual average acreage of the four years In which the highest potato acreage was harvested in such states in the years 1927-34 inclusive multi plied by the average yield per acre for the four highest years. Tandy Opposed Ghgtnal BID “Before the bill became law I was opposed to it and voiced my opposi tion to its framers.’* Tandy said. “But now that we have it. I think that we should co-operate with the department and give it a fair trial "The place where this and all other control measures break down is In the individual allotments to growers, and for this reason I ex-1 pressed my opposition. Through our experience with the cotton program, we have been able to see some of the reasons for the inequalities in In dividual allotments, and It Is going to be up to the potato growers of this county to profit from this ex perience and make every effort to avoid these inequalities In the po tato allotments.' Ninety-five percent of the pota toes allowed any state will be ap portioned upon application to farms on which potatoes were grown dur ing any one or more years within the period of 1932-34 Inclusive. The bill provides for exemption of farms with average sales of 300 pounds or less. Potato Control Sound “Potato control Is much more sound In pr**:lple than the cotton program, because all of the pota toes grown In the United States are consumed here." Tandy point ed out. "We do not hare to con sider world prices, while with cot ton we are dependent on export trade for the market of half our production. "Another reason we need some sort of control on potatoes Is that the forced reduction of other crops has caused a tremendous Increase in potato acreage. For Instance, due to the com and hog reduction program. Iowa has Increased her potato acreage 61 percent. Obvious ly. this Is not just for the states which depend largely on potatoes for their money crop." In a letter to Congressman Mil ton H West, Tandy urged imme diate study of conditions In the Valley In order to prevent confu sion during the marketing season in December. With planting ready to begin within a few days. It is essential, he pointed out to Congressman West to find out Immediately just what the potato control bill Is, and how It is to be administered. The bill goes into effect Dec. 1. Just as the harvesting season begins In the Valley, a situation that has caused considerable worry on the part of Valley planters, Tandy said. “I ask that you take the matter up with Secretary Wallace. In or der to acquaint him with the fact that we will begin harvesting pota toes soon after Dec. 1 and thereby avoid the delays which caused so much trouble at the beginning of the Bankhead Cotton Act.” Tandy asked in his letter to West. Quota Restrictions Unreasonable The Valley planter finds It un reasonable thet growers In the United States who harvest potatoes during December. January and February should be subject to quotas, while Cuba would be per mitted to Import potatoes into the United 8tates without quotas. An excerpt from the "Potato World”, which was forwarded to West by Tandy, says. In explanation of the potato law. “There shall be no quotas on potatoes Imported from Cuba In December. January and February In any years unless the Secretary finds that such Im ports are unduly depressing the potato market for any producing rexlon In the United 8tates" Under the law. quotas for the en try of potatoes from United States territories are to be established and all potatoes from United States territories are to be established and all potatoes in excess of such quotas will be taxed the same as domestic potatoes In addition to the payment of the usual customs duties Cuba is exempted, and in this Tandv finds a hardship work ed upon Valley farmer*, whose har vesting period occurs at approxi mately the same time.
