Your Future, Our Future
Tobacco Farmers Depends
Upon A Planned Program
VOTE FOR
Three*Year Control
On Saturday, July 20th
THE APPROVAL OF THIS THREE
YEAR CONTRACT DESERVES
YOUR VERY SERIOUS
CONSIDERATION.
It Will Be Impossible To Sell
Tobacco At A Profitable Price
Unless You Vote For Three
Year Control.
TOBACCO CANNOT AVERAGE
MORE THAN 6 OR 7 CENTS UN
LESS SOME RESTRICTIONS ARE
PLACED ON THE PRODUCTION
OF TOBACCO.
If (juutati are approved for 3 year* there
will he no cut or reduction in tobacco al
lotments for 1911. If quotas are approved
for 3 years, growers may expect prices at
or above 1939 prices. If only approved for
one year, it will be less.
TO FLUE - CURED
Tobacco GROWERS
With the large 1939 crop and the effect of the war on export markets flue-cured
tobacco growers are facing a serious market situation?worse even than the ait
uation from 1930 to 1932. Fortunately, the marketing quotas ean be used to prevent
extremely low prices and severe losses such as those suffered by growers in 1930.
1931 and 1932. ?=
Recent amendments to the tobacco quota provisions of the Agricultural Adjustment
Act of 1938 authorise a referendum on quotas for a period of three years. The ref
erendum will be held in July before the opening of the markets, and any loan ar
rangements to support the market will depend upon a dncixlon by growers to re*
ulate marketings. ~
The amendments also provide that if quotas are in effect for three years no farm
allotment (except in case of violation of the quota law) may be reduced during
the three years below the 1940 allotment for the farm by more than 10 per cent:
and that no farm allotment which is two acres or less in 1940 may be reduced at all
during the three-year period. It is hoped that a sufficient part of the export mar
ket can be maintained so that no downward adjustment will need to be made from
the 1940 allotment during the three-year period. livery effort will be made to keep
our export market and it may be possible to increase the allotments during the
latter part of the three-year period.
One of the recent amendmruts makes adequate provision for full Collection of pen
alties on any tobacco marketed in excess of quotas. Under this amendment, which
goes into effect for the 1940 crop, any farmer who markets tobacco from an acre
age in excess of his allotment will have the penalty of ten cents per pound on the
excess marketings collected beginning with the first sale of tobacco from the farm.
Since the quotas are on acreage basis and farmers can sell without penalty all of
the tobacco produced on their allotted acreage there will be no transfers of quotas
or sales of marketing cards.
I hope that each tobacco grower will consider carefully the Issues Involved and
vote his conviction in the July referendum.
