The leading cause of the increased prices in the 193.' season was the agreement signed by the tobacco com panies, he said. The average price rose from below 10 cents to more than 15 cents a pound. The size of the crop this year and the amount of the carry-over will have some effect on the price, he said. Nonetheless, another marketing agree, ment is needed to insure a livable re turn from the crop Last year the market waB glutted with a production of 730.000,000 pounds and the carry-over was 570, 000,000 pounds. "Is it any wonder," he questioned, "that prices fell lower and lower as the season advanced until the government had to intervene with the marketing agreement?"
