Tobacco Bill
Sponsored
U.S. Senator Jesse Helms
secured passage, in the
Senate Agriculture Commit
tee, of H.R. 3416, a bill
sponsored by North Caro
lina’s First District Congress
man, Walter Jones. The bill
will curtail speculation in the
fall leasing of tobacco pound
age quotas. It also would
allow leasing of flue-cured
tobacco marketing quotas
after June 15, only between
farms on which at least 80
percent of the farm acreage
allotment was planted. Cur
rent law requires that a
farmer plant at least 50
percent of his acreage to
participate in fall leasing.
Helms stated, “Enforce
ment of the 80 percent
planting requirement should
eliminate most of the specu
lation in fall leasing. The 80
percent requirement is one of
the measures that was recom
mended by the North Carolina
Farm Bureau Federation to
help remedy the surplus of
“down-stalk” tobacco in Sta
bilization program."
Helms noted that the U.S.

has implemented two other
changes recommended by the
Farm Bureau to reduce the
accumulation of down-stalk
tobacco in Stabilization by
changes in administrative
regulations. These adminis
trative changes reinstitute
tobacco acreage certification
and compliance, and apply
stricter grading standards for
tobacco containing more than
a normal amount of sand.
“The leasing bill must
now pass the full Senate to be
cleared for the President’s
consideration. I am hopeful
that enactment of this legisla
tion coupled with the two
USDA’s administrative chan
ges will help alleviate the
down-stalk tobacco surplus,”
Helms said.
“However, it is essential
that our farmers refrain from
marketing poor quality tobac
co to help remedy the surplus
of down-stalk tobacco in
Stabilization,” Helms contin
ued, “If large amounts of
tobacco continue to build up
in Stabilization, pressure will
build for further remedial
action to be taken for the toba
co program to be preserved.

Letter To V'lpfj. m
The 1
Dear Editor: *
Concerning the article printed in the May 12 issue of The
Yancey Journal on “Foster Homes Need Funding”, it seems
that the Social Service Department has painted a beautiful J ' j
picture of a much needed subject, but I wonder if the other side
of the picture wouldn’t read somewhat different.
As a licensed foster parent for seven years in Yancey
County for three wonderful children, we have received the sum !(1
of slls for each child for room and board. All doctor bills and
prescribed medicine also are paid for; and lunch at school is
paid for under the Free Lunch Program. ALL other expenses ii:
have been laid on our shouklers-not the Social Service
Department as the article stated. This includes all clothes,
school supplies, spending money, transportation for all needs
[except dental appointments]. Seems we are eligible for quite a
reimbursement!
Our own child has been denied things needed so these
children could have a decent home eight months out of this
seven yoars. 1 was completely disabled by an accident at work,
yet the Social Service Dept, nor the parents of these children
have eve,' contributed one extra cent to help. The parents of
these children are far more physically able to work than I am,
but they are “free” to spend their money as they please in
some Honky Tonk somewhere.
We just want to keep the “picture” straight.
