Smith of South Carolina d here this morning before leav; for Washington. He was the ncipal speaker here last night at ; Farmer's Night dinner at State liege. Unless the Kerr tobacco ltrol bill is passed, there is dangthat the burley growing sections Tennessee and Kentucky may ;atly expand their plantings and is depress the price for flue curtobacco even though the flue red growers have abided by the ms of their contracts, he pointout. Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Dgressive Farmer, also holds the ne opinion of the situation as js Senator Smith and ri^gards as oerative the enactment of the rr bill if the tobacco farmers in ; flue cured areas are lo be as ed a fair price for their crop s year. Senator Smith believes ;he outk for a horizontal reduction of per cent in the Federal tax on mufactured tobacco products is 11 bright and getting brighter and ieves it holds more promise for iter prices to farmers for their lacco than almost anything else. If the Government really wants help the tobacco farmers and >st prices and make these various ;ulatory laws unnecessary, the it thing it can do is to reduce the feral tax on tobacco products as now proposed by the House Ways 1 Means Committee," Senator lith said. "For by requiring this luction to be reflected in better ces to the growers, increased lsumption will result and every e even the manufacturers will be ter off despite the fact that they 1 not be allowed to increase their .rgin of profit. The greater volte of sales and the increased de .nd for tobacco will do the trick." letting back to the Kerr bill, cf dch Congressman John H.

The bill would impose a tax of from 25 to 33 1-3 per cent on all tobacco not produced under crop reduction agreements. "Not only have the great; majority of the cotton farmers in North and South Carolina and Virginia signed these crop reduction agreements, but most of them already have their crop planted," Senator Smth. pointed out. "Thus it would be impossible for any of these toba :co farmers in the flue cured are is to increase their plantings, even if they wanted to," Senator Smitii pointed out. "But if the Kerr bill does not pass, the way will be left open for the burley growers in Tennessee and Kentucky to increase their plantings almost without limit. This would mean a big increase in the burley crop next fall, whicii in turn would tend to depress the price of flue cured tobacco, even 'hough it remained within the limits exf ^ f HAM. 4- li n n/i.nn.nA Hft/lnnfiAM pcui/cu iiuui mc avirajc ieuui>UIUII program.
