WE ARE Backing Boosting Supporting The Aberdeen Tobacco Market ‘‘Where Prices are Highest” Sanitary Cash Market EUGENE MAYNARD, Proprietor Aberdeen, N. C. Approval of an amendment to an | administrative ruling under which i contracting growers of flue.cured tobacco, who have complied with their contracts and who have pro. ! duced tobacco in excess of their al. j lotments may obtain immediately in. ■ creased allotments through the offi ces of county agricultural agents, has been announced by the AAA. Under previous rulings, growers: with production in excess of their ■ allotments could obtain additional al. ' lotments only after sales had been! completed by contracting growers' with allotment deficits. The reason for the amendment is that in some parts of the flue.cured j tobacco belt, where markets were op. | ened early, contracting growers with ; production beyond their allotments ' are having difficulty in finding pro. ' ducers with deficits who have com. ' pleted their marketings. The new rul. i ing permits contracting growers with i excess tobacco to purchase addition, al allotments from other growers either before or after the latter have ; finished the sale of their tobacco, i provided those selling allotments re. ! tain a sufficient amount of allotment i under their contracts to sell all of i their tobacco which has not already been sold. ' In such cases, the transfer of allot, ments will be made through the of. fices of county .agents but the pay. ments w^ili be made to the growers who sold the allotments.
