Eastern growers, L. V. Morrill of
Snow Hill declared that a 10 per
cent quota cut would have been
“entirely ample,” and even a 20
per cent cut “entirely too much.”
The vast majority of growers
are “bewildered and surprised,”
Morrill said. “They don’t under
stand. They think they’ve been
misled by their leadership,”
- Calls It Mistake
Morrill, who began his career
in tobacco as a buyer during the
1908 season, termed the almost
one-third slash in quotas a “bad
mistake.” He aid the majority
of growers subscribe to his idea
of a 10 per cent cut, with a max
imum of 12 or 13 per cent. “We
should cut quotas' that much and
then await developments. Should
we have to cut again next year,
cut another 10 or 12 per cent. The
total for the two years would
amount to the same thing as has
been put into effect.
“To cut quotas by almost 23
per cent at one sweep is much too
drastic. It is threatening the en
tire Eastern farm economy.

Ross, a native of Charlotte, lived
here during his boyhood and
graduated from the Southern
Piiies High school. His father was

why quotas were raised three per
cent in 1946 and reduced so sharp
ly this year. If there must be a
decrease, they want it done grad
ually so as not to upset their op
erations completely,”
Morrill advocates the so-called
Umstead plan, by which occupied
countries would be given stocks
of tobacco now held by the To
bacco Stabilization corporation.
Take Up Slack
If put into effect, he said, this
plan would take up much of the
slack in demand and enable grow
ers to produce sortiewbere near
their present crops,
Germany, Japan and Korea
would be able to take around 180
million pounds of the “surplus”
flue-cured tobacco now held by
the Stabilization corporation, he
said.
The Umstead plan has been ap
proved in principle by the senate
appropriations committee. Its ad
vocates say that it would benefit
Southern tobacco growers in two
ways; Enable them to continue
to produce at near their present
level and help revive foreign
markets for flue-cured tobacco.
“If the Marshall Plan goes
through as now appears likely,
this whole tobacco mess will clear
up overnight,” he said.
Morrill voiced optimism over
the prospects of a return to the
market by British buying com
pany representatives. ’"The Im
perial Company can’t afford to
stop its purchases of our tobac
co. The English people like the
flavor of American tobacco, the
Imperial has spent 45 years in
building, up trademarks, for
brands in which flue-cured leaf
predominates.
“Right now. Imperial buyers
are still drawing their salaries in
their home markets, Imperial’s
maintenance men are still work-
in^-r-k;eeping the steam up, in. the
f lants." The return of British
uyers, Morrill said, may not be.,
as far in the future as most tobac-
comen think.
Ordinarily, British buyers pur
chase around 40 per cent of the
flucrcured crop. «
Morrill deplored the statements
by. State, farm leaders, that, the
reduction will be 27.51^, per cent
in acreage and 27.52 in tobacco
income. Such talk, said Morrill,
has “killed the credit of tobacco
growers. They .find themsejvesjde-
moril^Cjd, and disillusioned.”
The veteran tobaccoman said
that he went to Raleigh to bring
to the attention of the powers
that be that they've made a big
mistake in.the 27.52 per cent .cut.”
