MARKET QUOTAS
MADE BIGGER
INCREASED FOR NORTH CAR
OLINA, VIRGIN IJT AN D j
GEORGIA—FIGURES TO BE
GIVEN OUT IN A FEW DAYS. |
i
Washington, Aug. 17.—Farm
administration officials announced
today the flue-cured tobacco mar
keting quotas would be increased
for Virginia and North Carolina
as well a s Georgia.
Although the increases had not
been worked out for each of the
three states, officials said the to
tal would be "several million
pounds."
They said preliminary adjifst
xnents already had been made in
Georgia, where the crops started
moving to market in July.
Final adjusted quotas were ex
pected to be available for all the
flue-cured tobacco producing
states within a few days, Tt was
said.
Georgia Adjustment Ordered
Secretary Wallace recently or
dered the adjustment in the Geor
gia quota because individual allot
ments for small farms absorbed
too large a portion of the state
quota, thus causing some inequities
in allotments to larger farms.
The 1938 farm law, under which
thjs quota system was invoked,
established a minimum for small
farms equal at least to average
production in the three preceding
years.
AAA officials said this provision
caused in eq id table allotments to
some of the larger farms in Vir
ginia and North Carolina as well
as in Georgia.
They explained this trouble had
not been encountered in South
(Carolina and Florida, the dther
two flue-cured producing states
and no adjustments were contem
plated in the quotas for these twe
states.
Officials said South Carolina anc
Florida already had received addi
tional poundage allotments ovei
.what would have been their nor
mal quotas because of a provisior
in the farm act saying no stat
could be allotted a quota less that
75 per cent of its 1937 produc
tion.
This provision, AAA official
said, had added 3,934,400 potnjdi
to what would have been Soutl
Carolina's normal allotment an
2,191,000 pounds to the Floridi
quota.
This additional poundage, the;
said, enabled the AAA to elimi
nate inequities among large farm:
paused in those states (by thi
minimum requirement for smal
farms, whereas there was no sucl
extra poundage Tor the other thre
states.
As a result, AAA officials sai
they decided to increase the quota
for Virginia, North Carolina am
Georgia.
Under the quota system, to
bacco sold in excess of allotment:
is subject to a penalty tax of 51
per cent. Provision has been madi
however, for transfer of the un
used portions of allotments froi
Established 1872.
