Opposes Further
Increase In The
1949 Leaf Acreage
—*
^Continued from page one)
carry-over, the total stocks on
hand amounted to 2.640.000,000
pounds. The 1948-49 fiscal year
disappearance, both foreign and
domestic, totaled 1.100.000,000
pounds, and the carry-over for
July 1. 1949. will be 1.040.000.000.
practically the same as the July 1,
1948. carry-over."
"The quotas as already an
nounced for 1949. and computed
on the average yield of the past
three years, anticipate this year's
crop total as 1.090.000 pounds.
However. 1 anticipate that, the
1949 yield will be substantially
above that figure.”
"Stabilization Corpora tion
stocks on hand ).otal 162.000.000
pound;/. Adding these stocks to the
2949 yield anticipated by the De
partment of Agriculture, the total
supply available will be 1.252,000.
000 pounds.”
“The Tobacco Branch reports
that possible market requirements
for 1949 are 750.000.000 pounds in
domestic trade and 400,000.000 to
450,000.000 pounds in exports. I
want to emphasize that the figure
for expected exports is on the op
timistic side.”
“I realize the necessity fox
maintaining European markets as
far as possible. However, we
have always had and do now have
sufficient stocks to meet require
ments of these markets 1 am un
willing to have quotas and pro
duction increased in 1949 merely
on hopes of maintaining or in
creasing exports to these markets
when the result will be detriment
al to the growers. We have been
given no definite a .-urances that
there will actually be any mater
ial increase in exports in 1949."
“Therefore. I can see no possi
bility of any shortage if quotas
remain as announced. If quotas
are increased beyond the 5 per
cent already announced, it will
result in the Stabilization Corpor
ation being • required to take a
much larger percentage of the
]949 crop thereby placing the cor
poration and the growers in the
same unfavorable position they
experienced in 1947.”
“In addition to that, if quotas
are increased the growers will re
ceive a smaller gross return from
the larger crop than they received
from the 1948 crop and w ill be fac
ed with a record surplus which
will be exceedingly detrimental to
their position in 1950 and succeed
| ing years.”
“I would like to point out that
| in past years annual crop esti
mates by the Crop Statistics Di
vision of the Department of Agri
culture have consistently fallen
short of actual yields. This has
worked to the disadvantage of the
grower by causing a decline in the
market toward, the end of the
season. It is also true that the
opinions expressed by the Tobac
co Branch of the Department of
Agriculture at the time quotas
were proclaimed for the past sev
eral years were not borne out by
production yields and market de
mands.”
“The grower has always produc
ed ample tobacco under the quota
program to meet, all demands. He
wants to continue to do so, but he
wants the program administered
in a realistic manner so that his
income and a decent standard of
living will be /fairly protected."

Tobacco Situation
Discussed At Farni
School Last Week
(Continued from cage one)
Make it grow thin by topping it
high and not fertilizing too heavi
ly, etc.
Sore Skin is a disease where
only a few scattered plants are af
fected. Don't worry about this
disease.
Southern Root Rot gives some
trouble in this section. It may be
identified by small white spots on
stalk above the ground which is
the seeding bodies of the disease.
There is nothing to do for this dis-.
ease. Root Knot just cuts the
yield of the tobacco somewhat and
if real bad might lower the quali
fy. A worm eats the sap out of
the stalk. This is characterized by
short knotty roots. A crop rota
tion is good for this using corn,
small grains and cotton. Don’t
use legumes or sweet potatoes as
these nematodes live on sweet po
tatoes.
Blue mold leaves the plants in a
weakened condition. Use a pre
ventative and apply twice per
week Start when the plants are
small and before blue mold starts.
Fermate or Dithane is recom
mended this year. Dithane is
stronger, therefore smaller rates
must be used.
A new tobacco fertilizer is on
the market this year, namely, a
4-12 !i. This is a strongei fertiliz
er and the regular amount should
be eut at least bv 1-4 per acre. On
the average soils 1000 to 1200 lbs.
of a 3-9-6 seems to be a sufficient
amount of fertilizer raths«^i»an
going too heavy on the rates.
Tobacco should be cured prop
erly and ventilated properly dur
ing the process stated Mr. Hawks.
A ventilation system all around
the bottom of the barn with a ven
tilator in the top seems to be the
best system up to date. Two or
three leaves per bunch is a plenty
and thirty two bunches per stick
seems to be plenty on the stick.
This should be uniform and don’t
put 48 bunches on some sticks, it
was pointed out. These sticks
should be uniformly hung in the
barn. This spacing and uniform
ity is needed in order that heat
may be uniformly disti ibuted
throughout the barn and a better
cure may be made. When using a
metal top it should be solid sheet
ed or insulated because the tin
will get hot /'hen the sun shines
and cold otherwise. n his cold con
dition will cause tie hot air to
condense and wajpr to drip and
the cold air to return toward the
bottom of the barn. Thus a good
cure cannot be-had. The ventilat
ors should be opened until the leaf
is dried then closed to kill out the
stem. Farmer must use his own
judgment in curing his tobacco as
no two barns can be cured alike,
Mr. Hawks pointed out.
Pastures Offer Big
Return To Farmer
In Martin County
(Continued from page one)
Ladino seed be sure it is certified
because no man can differentiate
between Ladino Clover seed and
White Clover Seed. Ladino furn
ished much more feed than white
clover. Ladino Clover pastures
are furnishing the equivalent per
acre in nutrients of from 75 to 100
bushels of corn. This pasture, of
course, is much cheaper to pro
duce than would be the corn and
it doesn’t have to be seeded each
year.
Mr. Dobson stated that from 250
to 300 lbs. of beef per acre per
year could be- raised from this fine
pasture also. Ladino Clover pas
ture is excellent for rattle, hogs,
and poultry. As much as .3 tons
of dry matter can be removed per
year from an acre of Ladino Clov
er.
; Mr. Dobson says in order to
, have tins fine pasture one must
lime and fertilize adequately at
I seeding and continuing an annual
application'of from 600 to 1000 lbs
of a good pasture fertilizer such
as an 0-10-20 or 0-12-12 analysis
'Finally, he said prepare a good
seed bed, innoeulate your clover
i seed, lime and ferilize according
to soil sample tests and don't over
graze.
SINCLAIR BUILDS NEW PIPELINES
TO HELP MEET RECORD OIL DEMAND
MORE OIL BY PIPELINE. Faced by an
unprecedented public demand for petro
leum products, Sinclair Refining Com
pany is going all-out to increase deliveries
to motorists and fuel oil users. As part of
its great $150,000,000 expansion pro
gram, Sinclair is adding hundreds of miles
of pipeline to its already existing lines.
Some new Sinclair lines are already
speeding gasoline and fuel oil over the
all-weather route from refineries to key
delivery points. Moreover, Sinclair is also
enlarging its refining capacity and inten
sifying its sfearch for new crude supplies.
In the future as in the past, look to Sinclair
for Better Products, Better Service.
