The Law and the Administration. A. The Agricioltural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 as relevant to fruits, vegetables, nuts and general crops. 1. Policy declarations; ^ a. This act is not intended as a means of controlling production and it is separate from relief or adjustment legislation, b. The disruption of orderly marketing of farm products may impair farm credit and purchasing power and marketing is therefore affect- ed with a national public interest, c. Objectives: (l) To regulate commerce to the end of achieving parity of prices, as defined in Section 301 (a) (l) of the Agric-altural Adjust- ment Act of 1938, The base period in parity calcinations for tobacco and potatoes is August 1919-July 1929; for all other comirjodities, August 1909-July 1914. If the Secretary finds that satisfactory statistics carjiot be obtained, all or any part of the years 1919-1929 may be used as a base period for parity-price calculations, (8) To protect consmers by approaching parity levels at as rapid a rate as deemed feasible by the Secretary and by authorizing , no action intended to naintain prices above the parity level.-/ (3) To establish and maintain minimum standards of quality and matvirity and necessary grading and inspection as are in the public interest (with no reference to the parity-price ceiling? governing other programs under this act.) 2. Conditions for applicability: a- Person; Individual, partnership, corporation, association or any other business unit, b. Pr oduction areas ; United States and its possessions except Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Canal Zone and Gusjti. The President may proclaim the act applicable to these excepted areas for sugar cane or sugar beets. 1/ Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics, Associate Agricultitral Econo- mist in the Experiment Station and on the Giannini Foujidation. 2/ As of January 1, 1950 the parity price definition set out in the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 as amended will apply to ms.rketing programs. Base periods in GiHTsntly effective programs need not be amended. 2 c« Int erstate or foreign cor.gnerce ! Betv;een states, territories or possessions; mthin a state, territory or possession but passing through another; within a territory or possession; vjhere part of interstate or foreign commerce current or where sold in one state after purchase or possessing in another; commodities are subject to act if normally in such commerce even if removed therefrom by device; if any trade substantially burdens, affects or obstructs interstate or foreign trade, d. Commodities ; (1) Agreements ; Any agricultural commodity or product thereof. (2) Orders; Milk; fruits including pecans, walnuts, almonds and filberts but not including apples other than those grown in Oregon, Washington and Idaho and not including fruits other than olives fer canning or freezing; tobacco; vegetables but not including vegetables for canning or freezing other than asparagus; soybeans; hops; honeybees; naval stores; and the products of these comraodities. [ ®« I§I3°S3.' Handlers. Not applicable (except for milk) to retailers or to producers, f . Re gions ; Not applicable to entire production or Diarketing area unless the Secretary finds that several regional orders would not effectively attain the objectives of the act. Orders must be re- stricted to the smallest feasible production and marketing areas. Orders must contain different terms as necessitated by different conditions in production or marketing areas. | g. Parallel agreement ; Order must regulate same persons in same way as specified in a marketing agreement on which hearings have been held. ^» Ad vertising; ; No prohibition, regulation or restriction of adver- tising is authorized, 3, Permitted terms; a. Marke t ing ngreem.ents ; Not specified, b. Orders: In total or by grade, size, quality and by tine period providing methods for or (1) limiting quantity handled, (2) allotting amounts which handlers may purchase from or handle for producers by uniform rtile on basis of past performance or amounts available for sale by producers, (3) allotting amounts handlers may handle o.n uniform rule based on past performance or current supply controlled by handlers, (4) determining magnitude or surplus; providing for control and disposition; equalization of burden thereof among growers and handlers, 3. (5) establishing and administering reserve pools, (6) requiring or providing for inspection. (7) For hops: Limitation of sales by handlers. Allotment on the basis of: Total or estimated production per grower; normal yields as adjusted by the Secretary; as determined for aJialysis of production on similar acreage, allotment to handlers con- sistent with above defined allotments to growers, 4, Mandatory terms: One or more of following: a. Prohibiting unfair trade practices or unfair methods of competition, b. Requiring price filing, c. Defining powers and duties of industry committees. d. Other consistent and necessary terms. 5. Effectuate on and administration: a. Noti ce and h earings : Due notice of and opporttinity for hearing upon proposed order. ^» Finding s ; Secretary finds upon hearing evidence that proposed order will tend to effectuate declared policy, c. Approval ; I (1) Approval of parallel marketing agreement by handlers of at least 50 per centum of vol\ame of product regulated (80 per cen- tum for California citrus fruits) and order is approved by two thirds of producers of regialated product (three fourths for California citrus fruits) or by producers of two thirds of regulated volme voting in a rcferenduni conducted by the Secre- tary. (2) If required handler- approval is not obtained but the Secretary determines that (a) failure or refusal by handlers to approve the agreement tends to prevent effectuation of the declared policy and, (b) issuance of the order is the only practicable means to this end and is favored by at least two thirds of producers (three fourths for California citrus fruits) or by pro- ducers of at least tv/o- thirds of the regulated volume voting in a referendum conducted by the Secretary. Approv- al or disapproval by any cooperative association or pro- ducers marketing the regulated product or advancing the interests of the members is taken as approval or disapprov- al of the members. These provisions are also applicable to amendments. 4 d. Enforc e ment ; Except for assessments, a fine upon conviction of violation of si)50 to G500 per offense and each day violation con- tinues is a separate offense, Forfeitiire to United States of three times the current value of overshipment through civil suit; in- junctions by district courts.

Provisions of Sections 8, 9, 10 of the Federal Trade Commission Act are made applicable to the Secretary in en- forcing this act. Upon written application, any handler may appeal to the Secretary for exemption from or modification of any regulat- ion or obligation. After hearing, the Secretary's ruling is issued bi;t may be reviewed in equity by any district court. If the court finds the Secretary's ruling unlav/ful it may direct him to issue a lawful ruling or take further proceedings. If in good faith, the handler may not be prosecuted for acts during pendency of petition but the government may use its injunction powers, <3» Ex penses ; Handler must pay pro rata share of expenses found reasonable and likely to be incurred for purposes deemed appropri- ate by the Secretary whether or not all terms of the agreement or order are operative. Cooperative associations are assessed on the basis of their share of total regulated volume. Violation of regu- lations may be punished by fines up to $100. f. Books and records ; Information necessary to determine the degree to which (1) agreement or order has been carried out; (2) declared policy has been effectuated; (3) abuse of exemption from anti- trust prosecution must be made available to the Secretary. After request, he may examine books, papers, records, tax reports, ac- counts, correspondence, contracts, documents or memoranda as deemed relevant. Such information shall be kept confidential and only such parts as deemed relevant by the Secretary shall bo disclosed and then only in a suit or hearing vdth respect to the agreement or order except for (l) general stamary statements in which individtial identities are lost or (2) as relevant to specific violations. Dis- closure is subject to fine or imprisonment. No officer may specu- late in any commodity governed by these programs. I 6, Collateral programs; I The Secretary may confer, hold joint hearings and cooperate with ad- ministrators of state agreement and order programs; accept and utilize state employees; use records and facilities; issue complementary orders or regulations; make records and facilities available to states pro- vided the confidential nature thereof is adequately protected. Tariffs may be adjusted by procedures outlined in this statute if imports appear to be preventing effectuation of the declared policy, 7, Termination: Orders may be terminated or suspended if the Secretary finds that they or any provision obstruct or do not tend to effectv.ato the declared policy. Orders or agreements shall be terminated at the end of the current season if favored by a majority of regulated producers who have produced more than half the volume regulated in the production or marketing area. 5 B, Relevant sections of the Administrative Procedure Act, 1/ 1.

Orders set forth that hearings were held as required upon the order or amendment and that hearings have been held upon a paialLel agreement, 1, The hearing record must show that: a. The order will tend to effectuate the declared policy, b. It is applicable oiily to persons specified in the proposal for hearings, c. Either there are no differences ainong parts of the areas necessi- tating different terms for the different parts or that such differ- ences are recognized and different terms are applicable to differ- ent parts of the areas, d. The production area is the smallest practicable area consistent with achievement of the goals of the act, e. The regulated handlings is in or directed burdens, affects or ob- structs the current of interstate or foreign commerce, f. The period of time for which adequate statistics are available in order to define the ba.se years in calculating parity prices and the definition of such base years, 2, Accelerated effectuation: For such acceleration, the Secretary must find and state that good cause exists and that regular procedure would be contrary to the public interest, 3, Approval: It must be determined that either a, a marketing agreement on which hearings have been held has been approved by handlers of the required volume; the required percent- age of growers by number participating in a referendum have appro'ved the order; producers of the required percentage of volurae repre- sented in the referendum have approved the order or, b. that handlers (including cooperative associations of producers not engaged in processing, distributing or shipping the commodity) of the required percentage of regulated volume have refxised or failed to sign the proposed marketing agreement and that (l) such .A 10. rofiisal or failure tends to prevent effectuation of the declared policy of the act; (2) the issuance of the order is the only practical means to advance the interests of growers; and (3) the order is approved by the required number of producers or by pro- ducers of the required percentage of regulated volume represented in the referendum. B, Common terms, 1. Definitions: All orders define the following terms: Secretary of Agriculture; Act — the Agricultural Imrketing Agreement Act of 1937 as amended; Perv=on — as defined in the act; the commodity and the production area; grades, sizes, classes or packs of the commodity as necessitated by the methods of regtilations used; districts in the production or marketing areas as necessitated by methods of selecting administrative or advisory com- mittees or by use of separate regulation or marketing districts; growers, handlers and as necessary specific types of dealers or handlers like packers, grower-dealers, dehydrators, distributors, etc.; the beginning and ending dates of the crop or fiscal years; units of weight or volurae such as box or carload; to handle — which defines the kinds of commerce and the areas subject to regulation. In addition, each order will set out specific definitions of the commodity, its classes or varieties; packs; processes; terms used in regulations or allotment; marketing, producing or handling organisations in the industry^ These ppecial definitions separately relevant to the individual orders are set out as item (15) in each order in Part III, 2, Administrative organizations; ^« Control, boards; Most orders set out in Section 2 the name, consti- tuencyj duties and powers of administrative agencies which advise the Secretary with respect to regulation. Ordinarily, the pro- cedure for nomination of initial members is set out separately from procedures for nomination of their successors. The number of mem- bers; their distribution as between grov/ers, handlers or other groups; their terms of office; areas and production or marketing groups represented; and the methods and voting bases for nomination are set out. Within these limits, the Secretary appoints the mem- bers. All orders provide for selection of alternate members. Voting procedure within the committee, permitted ntimber of vacan- cies, quorum and requirements for passing votes are set out. Pro- vision is made for filing of acceptances of appointment; for fill- ing of vacancies; for appointment of members by the Secretary if nominations are not submitted as prescribed; for obligation of re- tiring members to account for and deliver all property of his successor; the transfer of title to such records of his successor upon death of any raem-ber; for advance notice of meetings; for record keeping. These data are specified in items (24-30) and (33-36) in Part III for each order. ^ b. Powers of control boards ; With exceptions, in which power to recom- mend amendments is omitted, control boards are given the four powers specified in the act: " (l) to administer the terms and pro- visions hereof; (2) to make rules and regulations to effectuate the terms and provisions hereof; (3) to receive, investigate and report to the Secretary complaints of violations hereof; and (4) to rGConmond to the Socrotary eunendments hereto," c. Duties of control boards ; Nearly all orders set out the following duties for control boards: to act as intermediary between the Secretary and any handler or grov^er; to keep and submit minutes, books and records; to investigate growing, shipping and marketing conditions and assemble data thereon; to furnish availaHc infor- mation requested by the Secretary; to select its officers and adopt rules and regulations; to submit a budget and report thereon to the Secretary at the beginning of each fiscal year; to cause audits to be made annually or as requested by the Secretary; to appoint and supervise employees: to give notice of meetings, Ikny committees are required by the terms of the governing orders to perform other or additional duties. These are indicated in item (34) for each committee in Part III, Seme duties—such as appearance in or de- fense of legal actions and administration of Section 32 programs- are not in fact usually performed by the committees. These duties are therefore omitted in the sunraaries, ^» Other committees ; Some orders provide for advisory tea-rds. The membership, methods of selection, terms, and areas or groups repre- sented on such boards are indicated in items (17-23) for each com- mittee in Part III, Duties and powers are shown in items (31 and 32) for orders in which advisory agencies are specified, A few orders provide for special area committees or for committees per- forming specific functions. These are listed as required for each committee under the heading "additional committees" in Part III and are numbered as items (24-30) and (34) with appropriate subscripts. 3, Marketing policy: ' Only two orders do not specificallj'' require formulation and promul- gation prior to the beginning of the season of contemplated regulations. In most cases, reference must be made to specified standards and the analysis on which the recomraended regulations are based must be in- cluded. Provision is usually made for changes in policy statements, for notice of meetings, for transmittal to the Focretary and for dissemi- nation of the policy report or a summary thereof to growers and handlers. These policies are summarized under item (37) for each coraiiiodity in Part III. 4, Grade, size or quality regulation: | There are four major types of such regulations, summarized separately under items (38-45) for each comiaodity in Fart III. a. ffinimimi grade, size, maturity or quality standards may be set out and shipments below such standards are prohibited. These standards may be formulated hy the committee by reference to specific factc^s set out in the order, or U,S, standards may be used, b. Pack specifications may be set forth and shipments may be con- trolled in terms thereof, c. Limitation of shipments to particular grades and sizes is used • most frequently. -no: 12. d. One order authorizes limitation of shipments to specified percent- age of various grade, size or quality classes. In any event, such regulation as in all-cases— is recommended by the committee and effectuated by the Secretary. Provision is made for inspection. Exemption is provided — except for minimum standards — where growers can show that grade-size limitation prevents their moving a per- centage of otherwise merchantable output equal to the average per- centage moved by all grovjers in the district or area. Grade-size regxilation is summarized under items (38-45) in Part III. 5, Volume regulation: Daily or weekly or other periods are used. Shipping, packing or load- ing holidays are used in some industries. Relatively few programs use these devices except as adjiincts to grade-size regulation. Their com- plexity is indicated by the necessity minutely to specify bases for allotment of shipping rights and by a varietj' of devices for adjustment of over and under shipments, loans, transfers or assignments of allot- ments intended to maintain intcrhandler, intcrgrower, intervariety, or interaroa equities. These programs are svimmarized under items (46-60) in Part III, 6, Surplus control; ^ Two potato orders provide general terms authorizing measurement and diS' position of surpluses and the equalization of benefits or burdens therefrom. Dried fruits and several orders regulating nuts use set- aside programs intended only to control total seasonal volume and not its temporal distribution. Items (61-66) in Part III cover these methods of regulation. 7, Other methods: California Elbcrta peaches may be regulated through definition and prohibition of unfair trade practices or vinfair methods of competition. The Pacific Northwest fresh prune program authorizes open price filing. . 8. Reports and records: Those vary among the orders, ranging from "as required by the Cammlttee with approval of the Secretary" to detailed specifications.

Handlers must apportion shipments equitably among growers, j 50(d) Truck Limitation ; During periods of complete limitation of loading, truck shipments are permitted only for grapes packaged prior to the period and upon permit.

Surplus tonnage may be authorised 64. 23. by Coiranittee for export sale to meet unforeseen increase in demand or to nations not included in estimates made in advance marketing policy. The Committee may sell surplus prunes for animal feed. If contracted sales, exclusive of government and export, exceed 80 per cent of total salable tonnage received by all handlers plus 80 per cent of the esti- mated salable tonnage held unsold by producers and dehydrators or if more than 20 per cent of uncontracted salable tonnage is held by a fev; handlers and if 75 per cent of handlers vjith over 65 per cent of salable tonnage so request, standard surplus prunes may be sold after December 15; with no single sales offer exceeding 20 per cent of original esti- mated salable tonnage at prices at least equal to season' s average plus carrying costs. Opportunity to purchase surplus standard toniiage is prorated by relative volume held by handlers. No offer may be made after July 5, Sale of standard surplus prunes may also be made on a prorated basis for unexpected manufacturing demand. Substandard prunes may be sold only if no surplus exists in standard prunes. Unsold sur- plus prunes must be disposed of as soon as possible after Jtily 31.

Withholding percentage is ratio of surplus percentage to salable per- centage (equals percentage of authorized sales which must be set aside) . 64. RcgTLlation by Secretary ; Considering ratio of trade demand to sun of production and carry-over, recommendations of Control Board, etc,, fix salable and surplus percentages. (Not applicable to packs of which not more than twelve per cent pass through round opening of 96/64 inches diameter.) Prior to February 15, salable percentage may be increased. Handler roay handle only that amount by weight of nuts for which he has withheld the required percentage. Set-aside requirement is surplus obligation, deferrable to December 31 on written assurance to Control Board that it will be met and secured by bond acceptable to Control Board in amount equal for each pack to amount determined by nujabor of pounds withheld multiplied by 95 per cent of opening price of packer or packers handling at least 2/3 of pack in preceding year. Funds from default used by Control Board to buy from lowest price packs offered, on which surplus obligation has been met, amount not exceeding defaulted surplus obligation. Balances over expenses on such operations are pro- rated to shippers. Nuts bought by the Board are delivered to defaulting handlers for disposition as surplus for shelling only. Handlers may purchase nuts to meet surplus obligations. Salable, siarplus and with- holding percentages and bonding rates continue effective into now season until changed. If salable percentage is increased, handler may select the specific walnuts to released from withholding. Surplus obligation cannot be sold unshelled. Exports may be made only tlirough Control Board at satisfactory prices and if resale in United States is prevented, and for Canada and Mexico only if duty is paid and at delivered terms. Shellers must apply to Control Board for authorization to shell walnuts and agree to con- ditions set by Board, 66. Reports and rec ords; Intent to dispose of svirplus— five days prior to deal.
