(R Tobacco Qoality Not Quoitity Nootfod Burley tobacco growers should devote all their efforts this year toward producing high quality tobacco rather than toward obtaining maxi mum yields per acre. The 1965 per acre yields will not be used in establishing tobacco farm poundage quotas under the recently authorised acre age-poundage program. The tobacco acreage-pound age legislation enacted by the Congress earlier this year pro vides that the Secretary of Agriculture shall, not later than January l, 1966, consult with representatives of the burley tobacco industry in cluding growers, farm organ izations, and cooperative as sociations to obtain their recommendations and deter mine the need for an acreage poundage program for burley similar to or a modification of the 1965 flue-cured pro gram. An acreage-poundage program would not become effective for burley tobacco unless favored by moie than two-thirds of the burley gro wers voting In a special refer endum. The acreage-poundage le gislation further provides that farm yields used in determin ing poundage quotas shall be based on the simple average per acre yield for the three highest years of the five crop years 1959-63 or of 1960-64. The law makes no provision for Including 1965 yields in determining farm yields un der acreage-poundage. All burley tobacco growers are u"ged to follow practices recommended by the Exten sion Service in order to pro duce high quality grainy to bacco with full flower and aroma the kind which is in demand by both domestic and foreign users of U. 8. tobacco. cows, will see experiments of grain feeding steers on grass and silage com tests. Sally- Mac F’arm, an outstanding Hereford herd at Monroe, will also be visited.
