A BY J. B. HCTSON VMldent. Tobacco Associates. . Ino, - The shift to filter tip cigarettes has cost uf nan ot vie mantei xor light bodied, mild tobacco and al most doubled our market for heav- ' jer bodied tobacco with flavor and aroma. tt fenerally recognized i that under the present program we hive been producing too much to ri tobacco. As we. have pointed out from time to time, the present pro gram does not provide adequate Incentives for the production of good quality tobacco. . The large nrtintitiei of tobacco low in fla vor and aroma which we have pro- v duced, particularly during the past two yer. are the result of (1) the , varieties used and (2) cultural me thod practiced" by tobacco farm ers, iuch as planting tobacco too close in th row, topping too high or not at all, failure to sucker and ' improper fertilization. The "decision announced by the U. ' S, Department of Agriculture on nycember 18, 1958 Is correcting the variety part of the problem for J 1957., There remains the problem of eliminating, in iVtn and future years, the incentive in our present program to follow 'the wrong cul tural practices, and the longterm ap proach to the variety problem.

GostlMf For dealing with this overall pro blem on a more permanent basis, a combination acreage and poundage system of allotments for individual farms has been proposed. This re vised overall system has been dis cussed at meetings held with farm groups in recent weeks in the dif ferent parts of the flue-cured to bacco' producing area. Such a revision in the present marketing quota program has been incorporated in several bills which have recently been Introduced in the Congress. Some' of the "bills which include this provision and their sponsors are: " Senate Bill Ifo, 1219 by Senator W. Kerr Scott of North Carolina. House Bill No. 4790 by Congress man Herbert C Bonner of N. C. House Bill No. 4788 by Congress man Jennings of Virginia. NOT LIKE 1938 POUNDAGE PRO GRAM . ' The designation ' 'acreage and poundage allotments,' generally us- 1 J - M ; . A iL a eu ah icierring kj we system em bodied in these bills, is often mis takenly thought to mean poundage quotas similar to the system used in 1938. It would be more accurate to say that a change' in the pres ent method of determining the in dividual farm allotments is pro posed.

Market New proposal, would, work com way: During any given year, a far mer would sell free of penalty all the tobacco he produced on bis allotted acreage. If. during the giv en year, the production exceeded the poundage allotment establish ed for the farm, his yearly acreage and poundage allotment would be reduced below his 'base' allotments the following year to'" offset such overproduction., If, ' on the 'Other hand, because of unfavorable wea ther, plant diseases, or any other reason, his .production was below his poundage allotment, his acreage and poundage allotment for the fol lowing year would .be increased by an amount equal to the underpro duction, x GENERAL PROVISIONS OP THE LEGISLATION ALL TYPES -Some of the more important sen eral provisions of these bills which would apply to au kinas ox xodsc co 'under marketing quotas induct ins flue-cured are as follows: (1). Whenever the Secretary of Agriculture determines that the to tal supply of one of the kinds -of tobacco for example flue-cured is substantially larger than the 're serve supply' requirements, ana that one. of the causes for this over-supply is increased yields per acre, he may conduct a special re ferendum of the farmers who pro-' duce that kind of tobacco to deter mine whether they favor the inau guration of a system of combina tion poundage - acreage allotment for each Individual farm. (2) . a "base acreage allotment' would be established for each farm which would be the acreage allot ment established under the present law, plus the farm's pro-rata share oi any increase In the national acreage allotment made possible by the switch to the acreage-poundage combination allotment. (3) . A 'base yield per acre would be established for each farm which would be the same as the yield es tablished for the farm for 1957 un der the AcreBge Reserve Program of the Soil Bank Act. Generally speaking, under the Sil Bank pro gram, the yield per acre is the av erage of the three highest yields ob tained for each farm during the six year period 1950-65, with a maxi mum limit of 125 per cent of the c6unty average ykld ,d a mini mum of 60 per cent of the county average yield, (4) . A 'base poundage allotment would be established for each indi vidual farm which would be the product of the base yield per acre' for the farm, multiplied by the "base acreage allotnaen? for the farm. (5) . The individual farm 'acre age allotment' and farm 'poundage allotment for each farm for the first year the new system was in effect would be the same as the 'base poundage allotment and the 'base acreage allotment' referred to in paragraphs 2 and 4. (6) . Each year thereafter the yearly acreage and poundage allot ment for each individual farm would fluctuate upward or down ward from the 'base', or remain the same, depending on whether the pounds sold from the farm during the preceding year were above, be low or the same as the yearly poundage allotment for the farm. (1). If the national marketing quota were increased or decreased by the Secretary of Agriculture, each individual farm would get its pro-rata share of the Increase or decrease and such increase or de crease would be reflected in the 'base acreage allotment for the arm- . . . (8). When it has been oecided by the Secretary of Agriculture that a special referendum will be held, for a kind of tobacco, each farm op erator producing that kind of to bacco will be notified, prior to the date of the referendum, of the base acreage, base yield per acre, and base poundage allotments that will be effective for his farm if the re ferendum is approved. (9). If one-third or more of those voting in the referendum voted against such a system, it would not be inaugurated for that kind of tobacco and the acreage allot ment system in effect prior to the special referendum wouio be con tinued. POSSIBLE ADVANTAGES ur PROPOSAL FOR FARMERS Some of the advantages of the program that would be developed under the proposed legislation are as follows: t RIGHT SERVICE means right pirfermnct from ywCHMSAW See as for... oesott st cmam com n Get .

On the tAher hand there would be incentive for each farmer to produce the highest quality ot to bacco possible by using all the good cultural practices known to him, such as adequate spacing in the row, adequate spacing between rows, keeping within recommend ed rates ot fertilization, and using the varieties which are best adapt ed to producing good quality tobac co on his individual farm. (2). Each tobacco farmer would retain his fair share of the total market Under such a proposal, , an indi vidual fanner could not have his farm allotment reduced because his neighbor or the - next . county or even the next state increased their average yield per acre. If average yields for any area increased during any given year compared with the previous year, only the individual farms which were responsible for this increased production would be cut back so that during the follow ing year there would be an offset tingreduction in production on the farms which were responsible for the increase. Therefore, a farmer who follows good cultural practices and pro duces good quality tobacco is not forced to take a reduction in allot ment at some later date by those who disregard all practices which would result in the best quality of leaf and try only for the highest poundage on the allotted acreage. (3) . Acreage measurement prob lems would be greatly reduced. There would not be an incen tive under such a program for a farmer tot hide a field or otherwise attempt to produce more than his allotted acreage since, if he over produced in poundage, his allot ments would be reduced the follow ing year. (4) . Each tobacco farmer's allot ments would remain relatively sta ble. Each individual farm would be given a base acreage allotment and a base poundage allotment based on that farm's production history. 'Bases' would, be changed only in response to changes In the level of domestic consumption and ex ports. If a farmer stayed within his acreage allotment but overproduced his poundage allotment in any year, his yearly allotment for the follow ing year would be reduced enough below the base to offset the over production. If, on the other hand, a farmer produced less than his poundage allotment during a year, his allotment for the following year would be Increased above the 'base' by the corresponding poundage. (5) . Tobacco Farmers would have a new type of insurance without any cost or premiums. If unfavorable weafher condi tions or Dlant diseases or any other type of mishap result in decreased production on an individual farm in any given year, the acreage and poundage allotment for that farm for the following year would be automatically increased to the ex tent necessary to make up for the current year's reduced production on his farm. SPECIAL PROVISIONS House Bill No. 4750 by Mr. Bonner of North Carolina would make the following additional provisions ap plicable to flue-cured tobacco only: Direct the Secretary of Agricul ture to conduct a special referen dum within 30 days after the enact ment of the act if he determines that the marketing quota and in dividual farm acreage allotments could be increased to offset the reduction in total production wnicn would result if individual farm poundage allotments were inaugu rated. House Bill No. 4788 introduced by Mr. Jennings of Virginia would make additional provisions applica ble to Burley tobacco only. OTHER LEGISLATION PENDING Among the bills indirectly af fecting tobacco are the following: Several bills have been introduc ed in both the Senate and the House providing for the continua tion of the Public Law 480 programs and increasing the amount of mon ey available for these programs in amounts ranging from one to four billion dollars. Public hearings will probably be held on these bills lat er in this session of Congress.. AUTO AND ACCESSORY CO.

I really did learn to enjoy " Washington the three weeks I was there, My plane left Washington at six thirty in the afternoon. We only stopped in Miami for a short time. It was tour-thirty in the morning when we got to Panama. Every one was speaking Spanish and I won dered Just what I should do. It was a good feeling when a red cap came up to me and asked If I were Miss Souther land ( I was the only lady in the group so it was not hard for him to locate me) He told me that an Embassy car and driv er was waiting for me. When the customs official heard this he let me go without opening my bags. This is a courtesy shown United States employees. They took me to the Trivoli Hotel where Americans on orders usually stay. At nine thirty Phoebe Harris, a home ag ent from Arkansas who has been working there for three years came for me to go to the office and meet the others there. Then we planned a trip to visit some of the local home agents, their offices and the work they were doing. It was hot and I had only winter clothes which I had really needed in Washington so we went uptown and I bought a cotton dress. It felt grand and I was so glad to have it as we drove for two hundred miles. Part of the time we were on the Pan American Highway which is under construction and it was very dusty. Phoebe explained the work as we irove along and we visited with one agent. She took 0s to see a lady vho had built a new adobe stove with a chimney. Never have I seen a woman in the states with a completely new kitchen have any more pride and happiness than she had. Also she was very appreciative of the help the agent had given her. The next day we saw furniture which the women had learned to make. It was so interesting to see the originality each had used in making pieces for her home. We visited a small experiment station lh-;' have there. On the way we were fortunate to be at the locks when a ship was coming through so we stopped to see it. Certainly it was a grand ex perience for me to be able to talk to an agent who had been working in a foreign country for a number of years. She had a wonderful phil- osophy about the work and it help- ed to prepare me for the work heJ?-. r ,a . AI1C wynu met uu. understand English and I could not understand Spanish but they were so frienly and would always pat me on the shoulder. This is a frien ly custom they have instead of shaking hands so much. Phoebe would tell them that I was coming to Colombia to work as she was working there. Many of them told her to tell me that they hoped I - --"lie like thf work here. I could Just sense a friendly feeling even iuui wonis. Tms too has helped me to be friendly with the folks here. I arrived in Bogota at five-thirty. Again I wondered what I should do since every one spoke Spanish. Soon a young fella came in the room where all the passengers were waiting and called for Miss Sou therland. I followed him and he soon had my suitcase and was mo tioning for me to follow him. As we neared tlie outskle door I saw three girls waving. I waved and then decided they must be waving to some one else, because I did not know anyone in Bogota. I look ed around but there was no one there so they must have been wav ing at me. I soon learned that three secretaries from the office and three wives of men from the office had come to meet me. That was a grand feeling and from that minute on I was made to feel at home in Bogota. Two of the wives came with me Stop pain of pSes today at home , -or money back!

Another couble took me to church on Sunday, One cou ple lbvited me to a party and an other invited me to their home. Not only were the Americans friendly ana inougnuui out tne Colombians in the office were very nice. Most of them speak Some English. At the hotel one person .at the desk speaks English and usually one of the wait resses in the dining room The menu is written in Enelish and in Spanish. I am sure I will enjoy this ex perience but I see now that my first and biggest job will be to learn Spanish. I can not do much work until I can understand the folks and can express my thoughts to them. So tar the next few weeks I shall be working hard on my Spanish lessons. WITH OUB BOYS IN SERVICE Completes Training Phase Airman Freely D. Hall, Jr., 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. D.
