Thursday, June 27, 1940 WEED QUOTAS AFFECT PRICE If Control Is Approved, To bacco Should Average 15 Cents Per Pound IF NOT, ABOUT 5c POUND If marketing quotas are ap proved for the 1941 flue-cured tobacco crop, this year's crop should bring about 15 cents per pound; if quotas are rejected in the referendum to be held July 20, tobacco may average as low as 5 cents per pound this year. Those are the predictions of farm leaders, made at a confer ence of growers, bankers, ware housemen and merchants held in Raleigh. J. B. Hutson, assistant administrator of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the best informed man on tobac co in the U. S. Department of Agriculture, said that if quotas are approved on a three-year basis, the Federal government can almost promise that prices this year will be maintained at a 15 to 16-cent level. Dr. I. O. Schaub, director of the State College Extension Ser vice, said that without quotas, d/nAAe 16 tnJfieetedMOMf/ You wouldn't expect your car to ran months without oil or serv ice of any kind . . .

Floyd, AAA executive officer of State College. "Growers know of the importance of the export market. When the British buy ers were withdrawn from the market last year, the warehouses were closed. The Federal govern ment stepped in and financed the purchase of Imperial grades. De spite this support, prices dropped to an average of 14.8 cents, 8 cents per pound below the av erage for the previous five years. Without this support, there is no telling how low prices would have gone. "The Federal government can not make loans or give other fi nancial support to the tobacco market without assurances that the supply will be kept in line with the demand; that the record crop of 1,160 million pounds grown last year will not be re peated. "The Federal government will support this year's market if quotas are approved in the ref erendum on July 20; it will be in a position to give maximum sup port if three-year quotas are ap proved."
