Hearing on Withdrawal of Leaf
Allotment to Take Place Soon *
A 1 y ing on the withdrawal of
'the tobacco allotment of Robert
Rhue, Pelletier, is expected to take
place within the next two weeks,
according to B. J. Hay, PHA ad
ministrator for Carteret county.
By order of the distract judge, J.
Paul Frizzelle, Snow Hill, the mat
ter has been referred to a commit
tee of Lenoir county farmers ap
proved by the federal government
?r review of cases of this type. The
hearing will take place in Pelletier.
On the committee are Whitford
Mill, Frank Smith, and Woodrow
Taylor, all of Lenoir.
Allotment Withdrawn
According to PMA officials,
Hhue's tobacco allotment of 6-10
of an acre was taken away because
he failed in 1951 to call in PMA
authorities to witness disposal of
tobacco he claimed was not sale
able.
Rhue did not agree to the PMA
decision and asked for a hearing.
At the hearing, according to May,
testimony was heard as to Rhue's
character and members of his fam
ily said he destroyed the "sorry
tobacco."
However, the review committee
from Lenoir decided that the allot
ment should not be restored. This
decision was appealed to district
court and Judge Frizzelle referred
it back to the committee with the
atipulation that a hearing be held
in, the Pelletier community. May
aaid the exact date has not been
set.
Under the tobacco allotment pro
gram a farmer pays tax on excess
tobacco planted or tobacco planted
without an allotment. The acreage
is measured by a PMA group, a
community committeeman, a coun
ty committeeman, and the admin
istrator.
Estimates Made
This group visits the tobacco far
mer, estimates poundage being pro
duced and gives the farmer an ex
cess marketing card listing the
amount of excess acreage. The far
mer is given the oportunity to ap
prove or reject the committee's
estimate and he is advised, after
an agreement is reached, that any
change in the estimated yield
ahould be reported to the PMA.
According to PMA report*. Rhue
planted in MpB?,iJkJfS&)?nd 750
pounds of Unsaleablenflbacib was
destroyed in the preacnce of PMA
officials. Rhue was credited with
this disposal and his tobacco yield
approved.
In 1951 the PMA committee esti
mated Rhue's yield at 750 pounds
per acre and when he returned his
card his yield was listed at 302
pounds per acre. May said that
Rhue had asked for no revision in
the estimated yield. When asked
* what happened to all the other ex
pected tobacco, Rhue said accord
ing to PMA officals, that he "threw
it out."
- When asked why he had not call
lid the PMA to witness the disposal
ind destruction, Rhue said, accord
ing to May, that he didn't "think
It was necessary."

? Washington A cut in tobacco
acreage allotments of about 12 1-2
per cent for individual farmers in
1953 and setting July 19 for a re
ferendum among flue-curbed grow
ers was annnounced this week by
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan.
Flue-cured growers also will cast
ballots on July 19 for or against
continuance of a 10-cents-per-acre
assessment to support Tobacco As
sociates, Inc.
Brannan called for a marketing
quota of 1,234 million pounds on
the 1953 flue-cured crop.
Total acreage to be alloted na
tionally for the 1953 crop, on the
basis of the quota is about 988,556 ,
acres, as compared with 1,127,530
acres planted this year.
There was no indication how the
new quotas would affect the indi
vidual tobacco-producing states, in
that the quotas can be revised next
year on the basis of the surplus
left by the 1952 crop.
Prior to announcement of the
quotas, leading farm organizations
had urged that a reduction in the
quotas up to 15 per cent be made
for the 1953 crop.
North Carolina Farm Bureau
Executive Vice-President R. Flake
Shaw said that this year's flue
cured crop will create) a large, un
comfortable surplus on the market

and predicted '?'?nless a substantial
reduction ii made, the entire to
bacco program will be irf for rough
sledding."
The Secretary of Agriculture is
required by law to call for a mark
eting quota if the total supply of
flue-cured tobacco as of July 1 ex
ceeds the reserve supply level. As
of Tuesday the reserve supply was
estimated at 3,072 million pounds
and the total supply at 3,175
pounds.
Brannon called for a referendum
July 16 among flue-cured growers
in Alabama. Florida, Georgia.
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Virginia to determine whether they
[avor marketing quotas? either for
?ne year (1953 crop) or for three
years (the 1953, 1954. and 1955
crops) ? or are against quotas.
A favorable vote by at least two
thirds of the growers voting in the
referendum is required to make
marketing tjuotas effective. It the
growers vote against quotas, they
will not be eligible for any govern
ment suport price for their crops.
Tobacco Associates, inc., said
both referendums facing the grow
ers are vital phases of the flue
cured tobacco program.
The tobacco group said market
ing quotas guarantee stabilited
market prices through a support
program while Tobacco Associates
carries on export promotional
work. About 40 per cent of grow
ers' tobacco is sold in foreign mar
kets each year.
In both referendums a two-thirds
majority of the growers voting is
needed to approve quotas and the
issessments.
