Corn growers gain access to contracted acres in young orchards
A new Agriculture Department interpretation allows Frederick county fruit growers to count land in bearing or replanting orchards as contracted corn acres under the corn hog reduction program, provided no other crops are harvested from those acres in 1934. The ruling, prompted by Senator Byrd and County Agent I Fred Stine, aims to aid Virginia apple growers facing acreage constraints.

Virginia ABC Allows Wine Shipments Under Inspection Order
The Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board issued a temporary rule permitting wine licenses to order consignments of 50 or more cases for shipment into the state, each arrival inspected by an agency agent. The first shipment of sixty cases, ordered by a Hot Springs hotel, is due tomorrow, with about $2000 value and a 25 to 28 percent state revenue share. The plan aims to extend to other licensees once warehouse space and staff are secured, while the board also completes a cross index of job applications and schedules interviews under board member T McCall Frazier.
