M ! the production of flue-cured and burley l;.at. says the federal State Crop Reporting Service in the N. C. Department of Agri culture. If inntentions are followed the acreage this season will be nin? per cent larger than in 1945 in the flue-cured belts and 10 per cent smaller in the bur ley tobacco regions. In releasing the estimate, Russell Hardy, crop statistician, explained that the information was based on a careful survey made in all tobacco-producing areas of the state. He said that all indications point to flue cured tobacco farmers' attempt ing to take full advantage of the increased quota of 10 per cent. "No doubt some farmers will overplant their allotments, but others will not plant their full quotas," said Handv. In the Old and Middle belts, farmers report that thev plan to increase their crop by the full 10 per cent, which would raise the acreage to 315.000 from the 2fifi.0n0 acres planted in to! bacco last season. ; In Eastern North Carolina! growers sav crease then' tne: plan ri- aer, int in.-; i-i nor rent, p in f-.v-re-r-d . ! r.'M-ed with i'o-t Dow'i in the Bor i'l I'M" .t Belt. acreage is expected ! g-. to :'!. 101) acres, or right per cent more than last season.
