Tar Heel Tobacco Allotments Light One-third of all the flue-cured tobacco allotments in the State are of two acres or less, according to Zeno 0. Ratcliff, Jr., Chairman of the AgbicU'tural Stabilization and Conservation State Commit tee. - ' - . J “In fact there are 33,523 tobac co farms in the State with an al lotment of IV2 acres or less,” he said. As far as the larger allot ments are concerned, only 2/10 of one percent of the farms in this State have allotments of over 50 acres. Greene and Pitt Counties . lead the State with the highest average per farm. The * aver-. age tobacco farm in*Greene Coun ty carries an allotment of 13 acres while the average farm in Pitt carries 'an allotment of 12 acres. These farms support many tenant families. The other extreme for counties in this State with an appreciable number of allotments shows Wilkes and Iredell counties with an average allotment of two acres. Ratcliff used these figures .to bring out the faat that tobaieo farming is definitely a family en terprise in this State. He further brought out the fact that tobacco brought over 438 million dollars intp this state during 1958, of which the principal amountwent to small family size farms and margi nal farmers and plays a tremen dous part in the economy of our agricultural state. __ Flue - cured tobacco farmers throughout the nation last Decem ber voted overwhelmingly in favor of continuation of the production adjustment program on their crop for 1959, 1960 and 1961. this in dicates that they are willing to do everything necessary to keep their production in line with demand in return for a^90 percent price support floor under jtheir crop. “ According to .Ratcliff, willing ness to keep supply in line with demand is not'enough. “During 1959, farmers must place increas ed emphasis on ArfiSjjction for the market; that i^. production of the types and grades of tobacco that will have the most appeal to both domestic and foreign buyers,” he — «- - past year while he was Chairman of the Recreation Park Develop ment. In charge of the installation was George Cannady, installing officer. McBane succeeded Remus Smith Jr. Other officers installed following their election by fellow club mem bers were, Wilson Cole, treasurer, 'B. F. Allison, vice-president, H. G. Coleman Jr., secretary and board rl controls, Bobby Knight, Joe Rose niond, Bill Kennedy, A. S. Cheek, M E. Allison and J. L.

Leaf Growers Pre-Measuring Requests Cited Requests from tobacco growers for premeasurement of their 1959 leaf acreage have been medium during the first two weeks of the sign-up period, according to the local ASC Office. Donald V. Roberts, manager, said that through Monday of this week requests for premeasure ment had been received from 200 farms which is approximately 21% of all tobacco farms in the coun ty. Some 1,441.22 acres of tobac co are involved which is about 43% of the total acreage in the county. The sign-up period began Jan uary 2 and will continue thfcoitgh February 13.
