(Staff Photo) Tobacco Allotments In Warren Cut 300 Acres Tobacco allotments in War ren County will be cut more than 300 acres as the result of a 5% decrease in national allotments ordered by Secre tary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman last Friday. Thomas E. Watson, ASCS office manager, said Tuesday that Warren County's 1963 allotment would be 6034.00 acres?down 311.13 acres allotment in 1962. Secretary Freeman in an nouncing that the national flue-cured tobacco acreage al lotment would be cut from 747,262 acre* to 710,100 acre*, said this mean* that the tobacco acreage allotment for moat individual farms will be 5% smaller than in 1962. In making the individual allotment*, a small acreage will be reserved for farms that have not grown flue cured tobacco previously. This was the first time since 19S7 that a cut had been made in tire acreage for flue-cured tobacco, used chief ly in the manufacture of cig arettes. In announcing the 1963 acreage allotment. Freeman urged growers to follow cul tural practices which will produce "ripe, grainy, full bodied tobaccos which are ac ceptable to domestic and for eign users." | Freeman made no direct reference to the use of the chemical Maleic Hydrazide, known as MH-30, in the cul tivation of flue-cured tobacco. A majority of producers use MH-30 as an easy and in expensive method of controll ing suckers on tobacco plants, and also increases yields. But the department has held that its use bss impaired the qua ity of tobacco and has caus ed a slow down in the ex pansion of export trade in the leaf. Amos Gapps To Again Head County Board | Amos L.
