ROGER SWAIN ASKS COMPANY

COMMON WEED.
e ..... ~
New York, June 13. —Creation
of a government controlled corpor.
ation to purchase 500 to 500.000.0M0
pounds of common tobacco to b?
convolved into fertilizer and inseuti.
cides at the Muscle Shoals plant w-i'
suggested today by Roger L. Swam
of Danville, Va.
Estimating that amount of tobac
co could be .i.ild profitably by grow
ers for around ss»,ooii,oou Mr. Swain
r
said It was evident the government
would realize a profit ;n hy.prudu.-i->,
whereas the move wo ild save thou,
sands of growers from bankruptcy.
Mr. Swain pointed out that com
mon tobacco normally is absorbed
oy export trade, which now !?
i dormant. He said that tlu> re
moval of 500.000 pounds from t'.i
j market Mould nlian e the regular
.domestic business about $150,000,-
000.
In addition Mr. Swain said hU
plan ought to increase freight
volumes by 1,000,000.000 pound v
give diredt employment to thous.
ands and halt many foreclosure pro
ceedings against small growers.
Copies of the p(an have been sent
to members of Congress and indus

Every tobacco grower in Patrirl;
county should have a copy of bul.
letin T.I 1 issued on May 10. I»3J
by the L". S. Dept. of Agriculture,
giving a thorough and detailed stti.lv
of the tobacco situation. This bul
'etir. .how.-- the why and where fori
of the present demoralized comp.
lion of the tobacco market and trade
To begin with, the 103" and 31
crops were the largest on record
and tlu> 1031 crop especially. wu
of very poor quality. "It Is likely
now." the bulletin continues, "that
low quality tobaccos may again meet ,
with disfavor notwithstanding the
| f.ic.f~niat production - promises to bo
materially redui-ed. In any event,
farmers will not obtain maximum
benefits from aereige reduction uri.
| less thi-y in prmlucing a i
high quality crop."
Fon-ign fa tors reacting unfavr.r. ,
ably upon American Ma.cur'd
ba-co are also emphasized. Chine
and Enulind are tiie two biggest
btivi-r.-i of Aniericin tobaccos. In
China, the recent military opera
ti m* and general d -stiirln-d condi.
thins of affair* in the Far Eas.
caused «!■•«: curtailment of export
to tha ciiinttry and als-o caused a::
increase in accumulated stocks them
due to a slowing up of man u fact nr.
ing activities. The trade has ulsi
b • -il h imper, d 'y a new cigar, tl.
tax.
Exports to England have Iveen •>'
a reduced level sinoi early last fa.
due to an increase in the tariff on
tobacco and on account of England
going off the gold standard result
ing in a depreciation of British
currency.
American flue-cured tobacco ln
been adversely affected by the re.
tent increase of production in foreign
countries, notably China. Canada.
South Africa, and Australia, where
the flue_cured type of tobacco has
been succes»fully introduced and
grown. The total output of the.«e
countries has reached about one
hundred, fifty million pounds a year
and is Increasing rapidly. All
this means reduced exports of Amer
ican tobacco.
Another factor adversely affecting
the situation is found in the decreas
ed consumption of cigarettes whl?h
haa fallen off 10.3 per cent, in the
nine months period from July to
March, 1931.32, according to the
bulletin.
