COLUMBIA, Dec. 21.—Housewives
and other consumers may buy pota
toes in bulk or packages in the us
ual way without fear of violating
the stamp and closed container sec
tions of the Potato Act according
tro the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration’s interpretation of
the regulations issued by the Bu
reau of Internal Revenue this past
week.
“The Potato Act provides that
only buyers who knowingly pur
chase potatoes which are not pack
ed in closed and stamped contain-
ers at the time of first sale, are
subject to the penalties”, says Geo.
E. Prince, chief of the Extension
Service marketing division here,
| who is in charge of the potato pro
gram for South Caorlina. “This
means that a buyer would not vio
late the Act in this respect unless
'he purchased potatoes direct from
a grower, knowing that the grow-
Jer had not complied with the re
quirements of the law.”
1 The Act says that first sale of
potatpes harvested and sold on or
after December 1, 1935, shall be in
closed containers bearing tax-ex-
‘empt or tax-paid potato stamps.
First sale means only the initial
'sale by the producer and potatoes
sold by retailers do not represent
first sale unless the retailer is also
jthe grower of the potatoes he is
selling. Retailers or dealers,
i therefore, may resell potatoes loose
in paper bags or in any other con-
j tainer and the consumer need have
