At the convention, the Pam
Bureau adopted a series of agri
cultural resolutions, including
the following three covering to
bacco:
We endorse and request the
continuation of the Tobacco Quo
ta Program; the Commodity
Credit Corporation and the Man
datory Loan provision on tobacco
at 90 per cent of parity; the
grading and aewB service on all
tobacco markets, this being es
sential to the marketing of to
bacco.
We further request the con
tinuation of a well-rounded
state-wide field program of re
search in all thl phases of grow
ing, curing and marketing of
tobacco in the Interest of grow
ers, for the purpose of Improv
ing the yield and quality and re
ducing the costs of production
and marketing, thereby helping
farmers to realize more net prof

request that sufficient funds be
provided for the accurate meas
urement of every acre of tobac
co planted In 1948.
The members of the , North

the whole-hearted support of all
agencies and organizations in
the successful operation of the
Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative
Stabilization Corporation and To
bacco Associates, Inc. and re
spectfully request the continued

Since there is developing an
acute shortage of flue sheet ma
terial for the manufacture of to
bacoo flues, we strongly recom
mend that this material be made
available in due time for the
manufacture of flues for 1948.
Barley Tobacco
We support the present Bur
ley Tobacco Law with its mini
mum acreage provision as long
as it is satisfactory to the ma
jority of the Burley tobacco

We respectfully request that
study be made in the .allotments
of Burley' tobacco in the North

cropland in other regulations.
