S. Clay Williams, head of the
I. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com>any,
recently issued the follow- :
ng interview:
"Greatly benefited as the pro- i
lucer of flue-cured tobacco has 1
>een under the Agricultural Adustment
Act he is now face to I
ace with the proposition that the
idoption of proposed amendments (
o that Act may easily cost him 1
iome S15_000.000.00 of nossible i
eturn from his 1935 crop.
The most unobserving proces- 1
lor knows that these amendnents
will pass or not according 1
o the attitude of producers to- 1
card them and that Congress
low believes producers want the
intendments because they know
hey like the present Act and its
esults.
The secret of what is about to
lappen to the flue-cured tobacco
grower under the proposed amenIments
is that flue-cured tobac- J
!0?different from practically all
ither commodities covered by the
Vet but like its companion pro- j
luct cotton?has to look to the j1
sxport trade for sale of about j1
lixty per cent of the volume proluced.
That fact makes the pro- j
>osed amendments affect the cur-1'
ent good results to the grower
nore than anybody connected !
vith AAA has been willing to |
idmit, though everybody saw the 1
:ffect of this difference in the i
all of 1933. With flue-cured to>acco
then selling at an average
if 10 cents, domestic manufac- j(
urers entered into a marketing |
igreement to lift to at least 17,
:ents the 40 per cent of the crop '
vhich they would normally buy. |
Tnder this agreement about,
20,000,000.00 of additional mony
was put into the market. Thej
ffect of this was that with to
iacco for domestic consumption
ind that for export selling side
>y side on the market, the lift- |
ng of the one served to lift the j
ither. Through domestic manu- i
acturers putting $20,000,000.00 1

iccord.
A favorite method of treating1
he potatoes from the spring
:rop for fall planting is to spread
hem out inthe shade where they |
vill get plenty of light but not (
n the direct rays of the sun. In
our or five weeks they turn |
freen, and when planted under .
?roper moisture conditions they j
isually give a fair stand.
Or the potatoes may be treatid
chemically with ethylene chlohydrin.
However, this method is
lot always successful in hot, dry
veather, Schmidt observed.

THE STATE
producers drew out of it $38,000,000.00
more than they would
have gotten had the 10 cent average
not been lifted.
If putting additional purchase
money into the domestic side of
the market thus multiplied the
good effect for the growers, it
is to be expected that taking
money out of the domestic side
of the market will likewise multiply
the bad effect for the growers.
Until two weeks ago the Tobacco
Administrator was assuring
manufacturers that the processing
tax on flue-cured tobacco
would be wholly removed at October
1, 1935. Processors have regarded
the tax as temporary and
therefore there was no reason for
them to adjust inventory or buyine"
nnlifMpfl to thp ront.imiinp'
burden of such a tax. With the
tax removed they would have
been able to spend on the market
floors this fall all of the money
that is available from their cost
Bheets for purchase of leaf. But
if the amendments as passed by
the House are passed by the
Senate, processors will be forced
to set aside from the amount
available to pay for leaf tobacco
enough to cover the unexpectedly
continued tax. That reduces
the amount that they can spend
on the warehouse floors and, of
course, establishes a pressure
downward on price of tobacco
for domestic consumption. If the
tax thus to be made permanent
is the present 4.2 cents per
pound and it pushes down by 4.2
cents the price which the domestic
processor could otherwise
pay, the grower will presumably
suffer a similar reduction in the
price he will get for his tobaccos
that are bought for export.
True, government would have
the 4.2 cents to be collected on
the domestic purchase?which on
a 600,000,000 pound crop would
amount to about $10,000,000.00?
to distribute back to the farmer,
but with the export price moving
with the domestic price, the farmer
would presumably lose in
price on the export end of his
crop the same 4.2 cents, or
about $15,000,000.00, for which
government could make him no
reimbursement whatever. That's
the simple arithmetic of these
amendments as demonstrated by
what happened in the fall of
1933. They can hurt the market
price $25,000,000.00 in order that
AAA may collect $10,000,000.00
to give back to the growers months
after they could otherwise
have had it from the markets.
And even then the growers would
be $15,000,000.00 short.
The original Act has proved
highly beneficial to flue-cured tobacco
growers, the control program
is established, has the support
of the growers and is not
necessarily dependent on these
amendments. It is known that
Mr. Hutson, Tobacco Administrator,
has said that the ideal situation
for the Administration,
whatever the proper price of tobacco,
would be to have only part
af this price paid to the growers
