' - J''"2fc-.'iYtJ^-SW L . ,4rr::*k BE Sources See lifting of Cigarette Ceilings As 'Strong Possibility' New York, Man* 19.?A tiae in cigarette prices soon was seen today by OPA and industry sources as "a Strang possibility." The Office of Price Administration may lift the cigarette ceiling within the next two or three weeks to off set increasing coats of raw materials. Geoffrey Baker deputy price ad ministrator, said. Removal of price controls on cigars may follow within a few months. Industry sources said cigarette price increases were expected to range from 25 to 60 cents per 1,000. .] Baker said OPA also is studying the snuff and scrap chewing tobacco situation, as well as cigar prices, and it is "entirely possible that some increase may be given one or all of these products under our earnings standards." Tobacco industry sources said if OPA granted a 25 cents per 1,000 increase it would be difficult to pass it on to the consumer and whole salers and retailers would have to absorb it. A 60-cent hike could be passed on, at one cent a pack, but %OPA had given no indication whether the industry would be allowed to raise prices to the consumer. WAREHOUSEMEN FAVOR RAISE Henderson, March 19. ? Proposed increases in the selling price of cig arettes and other manufactured to bacco products are favored by the ex ecutive committee of the Bright Belt Warehouse Association, according to Fred S. Royster of Henderson, presi dent of the association. Royster announced here today that the committee had adopted resolutions "favoring the granting by the Office of Price Administration and other ap propriate government agencies of per mission for such reasonable increase in the selling price at cigarettes and other manufactured tobacco products as will measurably offset or equalise the increased cost of production of such products." The executive committee which adopted the resolutions consists of the presidents at warehouse associa tions m .the flue-cured tobacco belts. The resolutions pointed out that "it. is apparent that the cost of pro duction has substantially increased during recent years" and "failure of such manufacturers to get some reasonable increase in price for such commodities will inevitably affect the pries received by farmers" for tobacco. Tobacco farmers "have already experienced on their part a sub stantial increase in the cost of pro duction and any substantial reduc tions in the price which they re ceive would be inequitable," the resolution added. Copies of the resolution were for warded to OPA Administrator Paul Porter, Stabilisation Director Ches ter Bowles, and Congressman from tobacco states. Farmers Urged To Check Seed Stocks Reminding: farmer* that all hybrid ?? corn is not certified, A. D. Stuart, agronomist of the North Carolina Crop Improvement Associa tion, urged that seed stocks be check ed for certification and germinhtion before purchase. Wtth the fast approach of the corn planting season, Stuart said that there have bean repeated repasts of farmers buying seed of extremely low germination teat just because it happened to be a hybrid variety.. In order to be certAad, any com seed must have a germination of 00 per cent or mors, Stuart declared. CHher requirements which must be met be fore seed can be stamped as certified include: sources of origin must be knewn, must be adapted and of high yield sad quality." ; I have been enthusiastic to hybrid varieties of com adapted to tha?ir49i sections of the state but available supplies of certi fied seed will plant only about sight per cant of the total 1940 crop in Carolina.
