| - The Potato Control Law (loi sur le contrôle des pommes de terre) de 1929 est une loi américaine fondée sur une politique économique adoptée au début de la Grande Dépression par la Federal Emergency Relief Administration du président Herbert Hoover. Cette politique a été actée sous forme d'une loi en 1935, et ses promoteurs législatifs étaient des représentants de la Caroline du Nord.La loi a été mise en œuvre dans le cadre de l'Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) pour protéger environ 30 000 agriculteurs qui tiraient leurs revenus principalement de la pomme de terre, et qui craignaient que le marché de la pomme de terre soit envahi par d'autres agriculteurs dont la terre était rendue libre par d'autres mesures de l'AAA. La loi restreignait l'exportation de pommes de terre et ordonnait qu'elles soient au contraire employées pour fournir des secours directs aux personnes nécessiteuses. En raison de l'implication directe du gouvernement fédéral dans l'économie des producteurs américains de pommes de terre, cette loi a été très controversée et largement considérée comme l'un des actes les plus radicaux de la législation adoptée au cours du New Deal. La Cour suprême des États-Unis l'a déclarée inconstitutionnelle en 1936 Cette législation sur les pommes de terre interdisait aux particuliers comme aux entreprises d'acheter ou de proposer à la vente des pommes de terre non emballées dans des conteneurs fermés, approuvés par le secrétaire à l'Agriculture, et portant des timbres officiels du gouvernement. Les sanctions comprenaient une amende de 1000 dollars à la première infraction, tandis qu'en cas de récidive, les contrevenants risquaient une année de prison et une amende de 1000 dollars supplémentaires. Les agriculteurs et les courtiers ne pouvaient recevoir les cachets officiels indispensables qu'à condition de payer une taxe de 0,45 dollar par boisseau, sauf en cas d'exemption de taxes accordée par le secrétaire à l'Agriculture (fr)
- The Potato Control Law (1929) was based upon an economic policy enacted by U.S. President Herbert Hoover's Federal Emergency Relief Administration at the beginning of the Great Depression. The policy became a formal act in 1935, and its legislative sponsors were from the state of North Carolina. Hoover's presidential successor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, signed the Act into law on August 24, 1935. The law was enforced by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) to protect about 30,000 farmers who made their main living growing potatoes, and who feared that the potato market would be glutted by other farmers whose land had been legislatively idled by other AAA controls. The law restricted the export of potatoes and mandated that they be used instead to provide direct relief to those in need. Because of the federal government's direct involvement in the economic affairs of American potato growers, this law was widely regarded as one of the most radical and controversial pieces of legislation enacted during the New Deal. The United States Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in 1936. The Potato Control legislation prevented individuals and companies from buying or offering to buy potatoes which were not packed in closed containers approved by the Secretary of Agriculture and bearing official government stamps. Penalties included a $1,000 fine on the first offense, and a year in jail and an additional $1,000 fine for a second offense. Farmers and brokers would not be issued the official stamps unless they paid a tax of $0.45 per bushel, or if they received tax-exemption stamps from the Secretary of Agriculture. The law sparked considerable protest, as evident in the following 1935 declaration signed by citizens of West Amwell Township, New Jersey: That we protest against and declare that we will not be bound by the 'Potato Control Law,' an unconstitutional measure recently enacted by the United States Congress. We shall produce on our own land such potatoes as we may wish to produce and will dispose of them in such manner as we may deem proper. Included in the 1935 Potato Control Act was a provision that created the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation, a forerunner to The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), which provides commodity food items like potatoes to soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and similar organizations that serve meals to the homeless and other individuals in need.
