tomaleetoner of agrlcture today
•eked the F*der*l trade commission to
make an Investigation.
Talmadge's rsquest followed publi

d»y shewing that to date the 1928

29.089.810 pounds n't an average price

f'nd that the estimated Increase In

South Carolina. North Carolina, and
Virginia, which cover the <*it|re
bright tobacco belt. Is only 4 percent
over 1987, while the decrease lit
Is Sl.Ofi percent. V
•Toe average price In Georgia last
year was actually 17.07 percent paid
tor the four stated mentioned, thus
the price being paid In Georgia' today
is more than 48 perrenl decreis* or

“From this It would seem that flepr

criminated against and I respectfully
urge tbnt yoflr committee start a thor

stble moment as the sales season will
lose more than three or four week*
