Hutaon Reviews Issues
Involved and Agricul
ture Leaders Urge
Sign Up For Three
Years Control, Satur
day, July 20 -
In reviewing- the serious situation
facing- tobacco farmers J. B. Hutson,
"Assistant Administrator of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
said this week:
"With the large 1939 crop and the
effect of the war on export markets,
flue-cored tobacco growers are fac-'
ing a serious market situation?
worse even that the situation from
1930 to 1932. Fortunately, the mar
keting quotas can be used to prevent
extremely low prices and severe loss
es sueh as those suffered by growers
in 1930, 1931, and 1932.
"Recent amendments to the tobac
~co quota provisions of the Agricul
tural Adjustment Act of 1938 au
thorise a referendum on quotas for
a period of 3 years. The referendum
will be held July 20 before the open
ing of the markets, and any loan ar
rangements to support the, market
will depend upon a decision by grow
ers to regulate marketings.
itrrn * j?qioa nivtvimp
ine sfflBiiujimiu iwov ,
that if quotas are in effect for 3
years no farm allotment (except in
case of violation of the quota law)
may be reduced during the 3 years
. below the 1940 allotment for the
farm by more than 10 percent; and
that no farm allotment which is 2
acres or less in 1940 may be reduced
at all during the 3-year period. It is
hoped that a sufficient part of the
export market can be maintained so
that no downward adjustment will
need to be made from the 1940 allotr
ment during the 3-year period. Every
effort will be made to keep our ex
port market and it may be possible
to increase the allotment during the
latter part of the 3-year peripd.
"One of the recent amendments
makes adequate provision for full col
lection of penalties on any tobacco
marketed in excess of quotas. Under
thia amendment, which goes into ef
fect for the 1940 crop, any farmer
who market* tobacco from an acre
age in excess of his allotment will
have the penalty of 10 cents per
pound on the excess marketings col
lec^jd beginning with the first sale
of tobacco from the farm. Since the
quotas are on acreage basis and far
mers 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 in
volved and vote his conviction in the
July referendum."
?
I. What are important facts in the
present flue-cured situation?
A.?Supply and Price.
1. 1939 supply, including stocks, in
U. S., 2,105 million pounds. 20 per
cent above previous record.
2. 1939 price per pound, 14.9 cents.
Previous 5-year average 22.9 cents.
3. 1939 United States Crop, 1,159
millioji pounds. 34 percent above
previous record.
" J mAsM /inn
? 4. ouuulluu LiiiieiiL
sumption U. S. flue-cured, 775 mil
lion pounds. Near previous record.
I 5. Probable United States stocks
1940, 1,425 million pounds. 50 per
cent above previous record.
The huge 1939 surplus of around
I 400 million pounds will continue to
depress prices until eliminated. Even
before the European war started last I
September, average prices to fenow
I ers had already fallen 8 cents per
pound below the average of the previ
ous five years.
With consumption at present levels,
I with ai-etmenta equal to thoae for
1MB, and with normal yields per
acre, it will require THREE more
vasB to eliminate the 1999 surplus.
? B.?War and Exports.
Exports during the 5-year period
190B-S8 represented approximately
50 percent of the United States pro
I daetioa for those years. If the same
proportion, that ia 50 percent, of the
1MB crop had been exported, it would
have amounted to a total of 588
I million paBnds. Instead, howem,
1BSV exports during the current year
I will no^j^iore than 275 to 300 mil
Hi i*f SmTI vAllvii AJrrovTIlVu
I ."v
f ed If bkiMbi qnttt are NOT
T?(ed?
1. There will be no Government
loans on flue-cured tobacco.
2. The prospect of further exces
sive production would lower prices to
growers.
3. Both old and new growers would
expand production and this would
later require further cuts in allot- j
ments for old- growers.
.
111. Hew- will the situation be' af
fected if marketing quotas ARE
t voted?
1. If quotas are voted for 3 years,
domestic manufacturers can pay fair
prices for their tobacco without fear
of excessive production during the
period.
2. If quotas are voted for 3 years,
the export trade will be more likely i
to make purchases at reasonable
prices, and the Government can bet
ter* give maximum support to prices
for the export grades.
3. Under 3-year quotas growers
could make their plans without fear
of drastic changes from year to year.
4. Noncooperators could not poofit
at the expense of cooperating grow
ers. ? ? '
5. If quotas are approved for only
1 year rather than 3 years, allot
ments would be less stable, prices
would be strengthened less and the
support given to the export side of
the market would be less.
IV. Wh<r is eligible to vote in the
referendum and what questions
will be voted on?
1. Any farmer who will share in
the proceeds of the 1940 tobacco crop.
2. There will be three questions on
the ballot used in the referendum and
each eligible farmer will vote by
marking only one of the questions.
Any eligible farmer who is for
quotas for 3 years will mart Ques
tion 1.
Any eligible farmer who is against
quotas for 3 years but for the quota
for 1 year will mark Question 2f.
Any eligible farmer who is against
any quota will mark Question 3.
V. If marketing quotas are voted
for a 3-year period will allotments
be stabilized?
1. Farm allotments for each ofthe
3 years will be moved up or down by
the same percentage that the Nation
al quota goes up or down from the
quota for the' preceding year. No
farm allotment, however, can be cut
more than 10 percent from the 1940
allotment during the entire 3-year
period and no reddetkm will be made
in any allotment which was 2 acres
or less in 1940. This guarantee does
not apply to those growers who vio
late the marketing quotas
2. Up to 2 percent of the 1940 al
lotment for each State can be used
in each year for adjustment of in
dividual farm allotments which are
low as compared with the allotments
for similar neighboring farms. This
would be in addition to the National
and State allotments.
3. Any new farm allotments will
be limited primarily to fanqa operat
ed by old tobacco growers Who have
lost their farms, and only a very
small acreage will be available for
this purpose.
II VI. What are the provisions for en
forcement of the.marketing quota?
| 1. The penalty on tobacco market
I ed in excess of the farm quota is 10
I cents per pound. Collection of pen
alties will begin with the first sale
I I of tobacco from the farm.
I 2. There will Tse no transfer of
marketing quotas among farms nor
sale of marketing cards.
3. If one farmer sells, or permits
to be sold, on his marketing card to
bacco grown on "another farm, the
allotment for each farm will be re
duced in the next year by the amount
of tobacco so marketed. Also, the
farmer marketing the tobacco be
comes liablf -for the penalty.
| 4. If a farmer fails to account for
disposition of any amount of hi>^ to
bacoo, the allotment for hia farm will
be-reduced in the next year bp such" I
amount of tobacco.
5. If any farmer falsely identifies!
lor fails to account for disposition oil
tobacco, he beoomes liable for a pptfjl
atty of 10 cents per poond of tftrnex*
mal production on the entire acreage
age allotment in addition to any otberl

The county-wide tax rate -of 70
cents on the $100 valuation in effect
I last year again is provided in the ten
tative budget adopted by the Board
of Commissioners in session Monday
night.
The seventy, cents rate was made
[possible through tile anticipated
transfer of. $100^)00 of ABC funds.
None of the 70 cents will be used for
the general fund, county home, out
side poor and relief or health repay
ment, ABC funds having been allot
ted to help finance these departments.
I The 70 cents will be divided as fol
lows: pensions, 10 cents; schools, 10 j
cents; and boun and interest pay- ,
I merits, 60 cents.
I - The total budget, including every ,
county-wide item, calls for $481,499. ,
I Of this amount $100,000 is to be de
I rived from the transfer of ABC
funds, $222,269.50 from current taxes ,
and $189,229.50 from old taxes, out- ,
side inoome, miscellaneous revenue,
fees, commissions, costs and penal- 1
ties and poll and dog taxeq and $45,- (
000 already set aside in sinking ,
(funds. (l
These figures do not include aeDi
service funds for township road and
district school bonds.
The general fund calls for expen- ;
ditures totalling $108,049.50, against
a 1939-40 budget of $105,215 and ex- ,
penditures for that year of $95,926.- ,
97. An item of $5,000 for revalua- j
tion was added in this year's budget ]
which was not required last year, ;
but $2,000 of this was absorbed in
other items. The funds will be rais- <
ed as follows: miscellaneous- income,
commissions, fees, license taxes, etc.,
$36,650, ABC transfer of funds $64,r
799.50; payment of cash advanced
to Swift Creek drainage district,
$6,600.
The county home budget calls for ,
expenditures of $9,615, the same as (
for last year. Of this cost $500 will ,
come from the, sale of surplus prod
ucts. $800 from the collection of old
taxes and $8,815 from ABC funds.
The outside poor and relief item
calls for expenditures of $14,917,
compared with a 1989-40 budget of ,
$13,371, and actual expenditures for j
that year of $14,973.31. The increase
was deemed necessary to provide-for
greater hospitalization needs, in
eluding an increase from $2,000 to
$3,000 for maintaining patients at the
Sanatorium, a V>ost from $600 bo $l,- ;
300 in the WPA sewing room fund,
from which only materials are pur
chased to provide clothingt for char
ity cases. A greater increase in the

be raised as follows: collection of
old taxes;- $760; ABC funds, $14*221.
, Appropriations of $24,896.60 were

tion after receiving the imperial com
mand* from Emperor Hirohito was to
announce that national policies would
be< formulated by himself, War Min
ister Shunroka Hats, Navy Minister
Zengo Yoshida and the foreign min
ister.
Looking to South.
Political circles regarded it as a
foregone conclusion that the Prince's
choice for foreign minister would be
Yosuke Matsuoka, former president
of the South Hancburian Railway
whose bristling reply in 1933 to
League of Nations censure of the
Japanese seizure of Manchoukuo was
a sensation.

The new policies are expected to
pivot around Japan's moves in ?^e
South Seas, which the army is ad
vocating as the future field of action.
s French IndO-Ghina, the Dutch East
Indies, British Burma and Siam may
be concerned in these policies.
Premier Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai
was fprced to resign Tuesday by
army leaders who resigned his for
eign policy as too cautious in the
fa<^e of the French Netherlands col

Japanese determination to press on

to stop traffic in gasoline, trucks,

Roosevelt Drafted By
Convention at Chicago
Was Placed In Nomina
tion b^UI, of Alaba
T^rm
C" V * s / .. ..."
' Chicago, July 18.?The Democratic
party early today rode rough-shod
over American political precedent
and nominated Franklin D. Roose
velt to run for a third term in the
White House.
With a first ballot rush that over
whelmed remnants of opposition, the
party's 1940 convention named Mr.
Roosevelt to carry its standard in
November against Republican Wen
dell L. Wilkie. x ?
Certain of Acceptance. .
The convention acted without
specific word from the President
that he would? agree to the race and
break> virtually the last precedent of
polities which he has not challenged
in seven years of office. But the.
convention seemed cm-tain that Mr.
Roosevelt would not refuse. ?
The nomination was made in the
same sweltering - Chicago sports
arena where Mr. Roosevelt was put
up to the country for the first time
July 1, 1932.
It was the decision of the 1,094
delegates who sat through the night
under the hot light of the Klieg
lamps while a crowd estimated by
police at close to 30,000 stomped -
and cheered at each mention of the
name' of Roosevelt
Other Names.
The nomination followed the tra
ditional procedure of a Democratic
convention despite early talk of
nomination by acclamation. ; *
Three other names went before
the convention. By a quick of the
political fates two of them were .
men who rode with Roosevelt to
triumph in 1932 and again in 1936.
? One of these was James A. Far
ley ? "Genial Jim" the smiling
smooth-working political organizer
who pledged for him until he was ?
elected.
The other was Johrf Nance Gar
ner, the sage Texas veteran of poli
tics who switched hiSyV^tes to Roose
velt in '32 to insure the New Yorker
the nomination and then took the
No. . 2 spot on the Roosevelt ticket
as Vice-President.
The third name presented was
that of Maryland's favorite son, Mil
lard E. Tydings, a qorps commander
in the anti-Roosevelt and anti-third
term- forces.
