hat she did nof see Owen Powell

A rcluctancy to testify on the

hat no hard feeling existed beween

< S/ l MENT TO
BE INCREASED j
incrt.se of 10 Per Cent Aliowed,
But May Cost
Growers Money
BRIGHT GIVES FIGURES
The newly announced ruling of
the AAA permits Warren county
growers of flue-cured tobacco to increase
their allotted production 10
per cent but farmers who take advantage
of this privilege of planting
niore of the weed are apt to
lose money, figures compiled at the
office of Bob Bright, county agent,
indicate.
Mi. Bright said that the matter
oi increasing the yield is left entirely
up to the farmer, but personally
he was of the opinion that
those who took advantage of the
new ruling would lose money. He
came to this conclusion after
studying the new ruling from
various angles.
The new ruling allows growers to
produce more pounds of the golden
weed, but the more acres that are
' planted in tobacco the lower the
parity price sinks, the county agent
pointed out. The whole thing
f hinges on one question, he said:
"Can a farmer raise tobacco for
$73.50 per acre?" Mr. Bright, and
farmers who were in the court
room at the time the new ruling
was keing studiel, were of the opinI
ion that the cost of producing an
^ acre of tobacco was in excess of this
figure.
Explaining the situation to a
representative of The Warren
, Record, Mr. Bright compiled fig.
ures showing how the two plans
woulc work out from a county-wide
standpoint. His figures are as follows:
Th(; yield of tobacco in Warren
, county is determined from a basis
. of 5.T00 acres which, he said, does
not change regardless of which plan
is adapted. Without taking advantage
of the privilege of growing
[ more acres of the weed, farmers in
this county are permitted ttr-plant
! 4000 icreS. "W'Oth tobacco selling at
$125 an acre, the 4000 acres would
bring in $500,000. To this amount
will be added $29,250 from the
rcnta. of 1700 acres at $17.50 per
acre. To these figures is added a
paritj of $15.60 per acre on 4000
acres which amounts to $62,400. In
other words, said Mr. Bright, Warren
county farmers should* receive
a total of $591,650 without taking
advartage of the new plan.
Using the same base of 5,700
acres, the increase of 10 per cent
means that farmers of Warren can
grow 4,500 acres. With tobacco
selling at $125 per acre, growers
woulc, receive a total of $562,500
from the entire crop of the county.
To t lis amount would be added
$21,000 from the rental of 1200 acres
(the difference between 4,500 acres
and 5,700 acres) at $17.50 per acre.
The parity on 4,500 acres at $10
per acre amounts to $45,000, bring'
ing (he total under the increase in
acrefge to $628,500.
Thirty-six thousand, eight hundred
and fifty dollars is the difference
in the total amount of money
that will be received from the crop
by the two plans. But to get this
extra $36,850 farmers will have to
grow 500 extra acres of tobacco,
showing that if it cost more than
$72.53 per acre to grow the weed
the .'armer has lost by adopting the
new plan.
Net only do the figures indicate
that it would be a bad thing for a
farmer to increase his yield, Mr.
Bright said, but if a grower does
not take advantage of the new plan,
, he lias the privilege of selling this
fall from 70 to 80 per cent of his
: crop. Stating that the parity drops
with the amount sold, Mr. Bright
said that it might prove to a farmers
advantage to sell only 70 per
cent (t his crop in the event the
