Faced with the Imposslhlo task of
calculating tobacco poundage quotas
for all farmers In time tor the Bor

the State AAA office has arranged
for Issuance of temporary cards so

These preliminary cards will i>e
Issued through farm agents’ offices
throughout the tobacco growing belt
and already Ag6nt C. R. Ammons
has mailed to Harnett farmers In
structions on how to procure these
permits.
Producers with- acreage allotments
w'ho wish to sell a portion of their
tobacco before regular cards are
available must file a w^rllion applica
tion v.'lth the county agent’s office
at least two days before they wish
to market their tobacco. A tenta
tive card will be prepared and the
farmer may secure It by calling, In
person, at the cotinty agent’s office.
County Agent Ammons Is empha
sizing the requirements that applica
tions must bo in writing and that
growers receiving the temporary
cards must call at the office and sign
for them. These stops are r.'qnirod
so that a written record will be
available.
Applications for tentative cards
may be secured by writing the coun
ty agent's office. This application
may be returned promptly and there
Is no need for the grower to c.all at
the office until the card Is prepared
and ready for delivery.
Producers in classes A and B,
those who have grown tobacco In
preceding years, will be Issued a card
for 400 pounds per acre. Farn»ers
ill class C, those who are growing
tobacco this year for the first time,
win be allowed to sell 300 pounds
an acre under the temporary ar
rangements.
If more than one card Is desired,
the total preliminary allotnunl may
be divided between as many tenants
as the land owner specifies.
Since his office Is going forward
with the task of compiling Informa
tion from which the final quota.s will
be tabulated. County Agent Ammouu
Is asking farmers not to apply for
temporary cards unless they are
planning to sell during the opening
days of the Border Markets’ season
or unless they need' these cards he
fore August ,4th.
This cooperation will considerably
expedite the process of getting out
permanent cards which Ammons be
lieves will be ready for distribution
by the 15th of August. From these
permanent cards will be deducted
the number of pounds allotted under
thfe temporary arrangement.
