VOLUME X PUBLISHED EVERY SUNDAY & THURSDAY STATE WILL GET QUOTA INCREASE OFFIQALSSAY \ AAA To Boost Flue-Cored Tobacco Allotments For This And Other States. ■ * Washington, Aug. 17 Farm Administration officials announc ed today that flue-cured tobacco marketing quotas would be in creased for Virginia and North Carolina as well as for Georgia. Although the increase had not been worked out for each of the three states, officials said the to tal would be “several million pounds.” They said preliminary adjust ments already had been made in Georgia, where the crop started moving to market in July. 9 Final adjusted quotas were ex pected to be available for all the flue-cuired tobacco - producing states within a few days, it was said. Secretary Wallace recently or dered the adjustment in the Geor gia quota because individual al lotments for small farms absorb ed too large a portion of the state quota, thus causing some inequit ies in allotments to larger farms. The 1938 farm law, under which the quota system was in voked, established a minimum for small farms equal at least to aver age production in the three pro ceeding years. AAA officials said this provis ion caused inequitable allotments to some of the larger farms in ■Sflcginia and North Carolina, as well as in Georgia. „ Two States Excepted.

Tobacco growers of this county have about finished priming their crop and only a very small per cent of the 1938 crop is now in the fields. Many will finish cur ing their entire crop this week. A' little will be left for next week, but with very few exceptions the entire crop will be cured by Sat urday, August 27. Growers in this county are a , bout one month ahead of previous years. Even the old timers do not recall an earlier crop. In spite of the many hardships that the 1938 crop had to under go it is generally thought that ' this county has produced a good crop of tobacco. There is not so much extra good tobacco in the county; there is a large amount of good. Many farmers are busy strip ping and reports prove that a few are hauling a small load or so to distant markets. Warehousemen report that they expect a big opening on Septem ber 27. All houses are likely to be filled and thousands of grow ers will be here to sell or to ob serve opening day prices. 0 CONFINED 1 Mrs. Lucy Pass Featherston is ill at her home on Academy St. 'and* has been in bed for several weeks, it was learned yesterday.
