THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1934. Growers of Short Crop May Sell Others’ Excess Growers of flue-cured tobacco in North Carolina who have signed ad justment contracts with the govem -1 ment and whose production in 1934 is less than their allotment, may, if • they care to do so, sell the flue-cured tobacco grown by other contracting growers whose production exceeds their allotment. “This administrative ruling was signed by Secretary Wallace last week, ” says E. Y. Floyd of State College, in charge of the tobacco pro grom in this State. “The decision was made when it was learned that in some sections, the production will be well below the quantity of tobacco allotted. Reports as to crop conditions from, all sections indicate that the to tal-production of contracting growers will be approximately 50 million pounds below 80 percent of the base production which will be the quantity allotted to contracting growers and is the quantity for which tax-payment warrants could be issueed. Ihe most recent estimate of the crop is 526 million pounds.” Mr. Floyd points out any arrange ments made between contracting growers to utilize allotment cards other than their own for selling to- , bacco is purely a private transaction. Contracting growers who produce in excess of their allotment will not be permitted to market this excels bacco and pay the tax proviciSNHW* der the Kerr-Smith tobacco control Act but may' arrange to sell this to bacco under another contracting grower’s allotment card. The non-contracting growers, un like contracting producers, may sell tobacco produced in excess of any allotment given them, if they pay the tax of 25 percent of the market value as provided in the Kerr-Smith Act. They will not, however, be permitted to sell tobacco under the marketing card of a contracting grower, Floyd says.
