The proposed plan was
authorized by special legislation
and is based on evidence
developed at a public hearing

be administered by a National
Potato Promotion Board, made
by producers Each State would
be entitled to one Board member
lor each five million hun
dredweight of production, with at
least one member per Slate
The Board would be authorized
to contract for research and
promotion activities after ap
proval by the Secretary of
Agriculture
The program would be
linanced by an assessment of up
to one cent per hundredweight of
potatoes handled Handlers
would be permitted to collect
assessments from producers, but
producers not wishing to con
tribute would be reimbursed
upon written request
The decision and details of the
research and promotion were
scheduled Jor publication in the
Federal Register January 5
Single copies of the plan may be
obtained from the Fruit and
Vegetable Division, Consumer
and Marketing Service, U S

Name’s Meaning
The name Charles or Karl
stems from the High Ger
man word for “full-grown
man.” Because so many
kings, from the time of Char
lemagne on down, were
given the name of Charles,
it came to mean “great
man; manly.”
