BASIC CHANGE As a result of the referendum, the flue-cured tobacco, produc tion control program will un dergo its first basic change in over 25 years. The acreage-poundage system would limit each grower not only as to the amount of land he could plant in tobacco, but also as to the number of pounds he could sell from his crop. Since the present program was instituted in 1040, produc tion controls have been on an acreage bails only, with each grower permitted to sell all the poundage he could produce on his allotted acreage.* GROWING SURPLUS The program worked well for many years, but in the past few years It resulted In a big buildup In surplus stocks of to bacco. The Flue-Cured Stabil ization Corp., a grower co-op eratlve which administers the price support program, cur l-Willy re holding some 916 mil lion pounds In storage. That's about three-fourths of a full crop. A change to acreage-pound age had been endorsed by President Johnson and Agricul ture Secretary OrvllleL. Free man, by Governor Moore, and by most farm organizations in North Carollna.The only or ganized opposition in the State came from the Flue-Cured to bacco Growers Association, which did not object to the acreage-poundage approach in principle but opposed putting it Into effect for the 1965 crop. Some groups in Georgia fought the proposed new sys tem. They contended that their tobacco is of superior quality and does not contribute to the surplus, and their growers should not be subjected to the same strict curbs as growers In the Carollnas and Virginia.
