LEAF PRODUCTION TO BE DECREASED Plant Shortage Labor Losses Other Adverse Conditions Indicate Reduction A very, considerable* decrease in the production of tobadco in the Old Belt of Virginia and North Carolina seems certain for Vj?3. according to rrcp reports sect in from 782 loca' unitB of the Tobacco Growers Co operative Association to its Raleigh headquarters last week. A very heavy cut In th?; tobacco crop of Virginia for 1923 is Indicated bv tho fact that the figures from the signed Btnt"mentB of hundreds of lo col association secretaries show that 7 percent of the total Virginia acre pge Is already abandoned. Tho Vir ginia crop Is already cut 25.000,000 pounds short of the 1920 total and unless plant and weather conditions Improve matrlally It may be short ?0, 000, 000 pounds In weight compared wllh 1922. The Old Uelt of North Carolina, according to the locals of the tobacco cooperative, reports decrease in acre age of 3.6 percent over last year. From Raleigh west and mrth farm ers report the most sorlous plant con ditions they have ever known. East ern North Carolina and tho South Carolina Belt report a slight increase u acreage hut uncertain weather conditions The unprecedented short age In farm labor and the continuous migration of negro tenants to the north will probably further decrease the production of tobacco In these cunties for tto coming year. More thun 90,000 tobacco farmers are now members of the Tobacco Qroiwers Cooperative Association, according to a count of contracts made last week at Raleigh headquar ters and the association continues to hold Its position as tho largest of the American commodity cooperat Ives, Several new customers are buy ing the redrled tohacC6B ftf the Asso ciation. whVh are finding- ft steady market at. association prices.
