Tobacco Quota For
Exceeds First Estimate
? 1
Wallace Offically Sets
Flue-Cured Marketing
Quota at 618,000,000
Pounds.
Washington, Aug. 27.?The flue
cured tobacco quota for the first of
three restricted years beginning July
1, 1941, was proclaimed today by
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace following official determin
ation that 86.1 per cent of the grow
ers favored the three-year period. '
In North Carolina, the official tab
ulation indicated 87.1 per cent of
142,243 voters favored three-years
control.
Official figures for North Caro
lina show 123,363 voters, 87.1 per
cent for three year control; 2,073 or
1.4 per cent for the one-year pro
? gram; and 16,307 or 11.5 per cent
against any quota.
The amount of the entire quota
which will be in effect for 1941-42,
the first of the three marketing
years, is 618 million pounds. This is
10 per cent more than the quota of
516 million pounds which was pro
claimed prior to the referendum.
Approval of the three-year quota
makes it possible to increase the
quota determined for the 1941-42
marketing year, and to spread the
adjustment needed to eliminate ex
cess supplies over the three-year per
iod. The amount of the quota for the
1942-43 marketing year will be an
% nounced some time between July 1
and December 1, 1941. Similarly, the
amount of the quota for the third
year of the period will be announced
between July 1 and December 1, 1942.
The official canvass showed that
174.779 votes, or 86.1 per cent, of the
total of 203,059 approved the quota
which had been proclaimed for the
marketing year beginning July 1,
1941, and also favored the proposal
of having marketing quotas in effect
for the three years beginning on that
date.
Approximately 3.655 votes, or l.S
per cent, favored the quota pproclaim
ed for the 1941-42 marketing year in
preference to quotas for three years.
The remaining 24,625 votes, or 12.1
per cent of the total, were cast
against both the three-year quota
proposal and the one-year quota.
SPREAD.
Under present plans of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, the food
stamp plan will be extended to a to
tal of 175 to 200 cities or to the mem
bers of 5,000,000 relief families by
the end of the fiscal year.
