Nation’s Flue-Cured Quota
Is 754,000,000 Pounds
Marketing Limitations Will Go Into Effect July 1 Os
Next Year If Approved In Referendum To Bo Held
December 10
Washington A national marketing quota of 754,000,000
pounds for Due-cured tobacco in the marketing year begin
ning July 1, 1939, has been announced by Secretary of Agri
culture Henry A. Wallace in accordance with the provisions
of the agricultural adjustment act of 1938.
The total supply of flue-cured
tobacco as of July 1, 1938 was
1,750,000,000 pounds. The reserve
supply level is 1,727,000,000
pounds.
A referendum of flue-cured to
bacco growers will be held De
cember 10, 1938. If two-thirds or
more of the farmers taking part
in the referendum vote in favor
of the quota, the quota will be
in effect for 1939. Every farmer
who grew flue-cured tobacco in
1938 will be eligible to cast one
vote in the referendum.
“It is the desire of the depart
ment,Secretary Wallace said,
“that as many farmers as possi
ble vote in the referendum and
that the vote cast by each person
express his view as to whether
the quota should be in effect.”
The referendum will be con
ducted through secret ballot.
Not over one percent of the na
tional quota will be used for new
farms in 1939 as contrasted with
3 percent in 1938. This change
was made upon the recommend
dation of leading farmer-repre
sentatives in recognition of the
fact that farmers already grow
ing tobacco are equipped and in
a position to grow over 1,000,000,-
000 pounds of flue-cured tobacco,
or about one-third more than the
present annual world consump
tion.
In discussing the administra
tion of the tobacco quota provi
sions of the new farm act, Secre
tary Wallace said:
“The 1938 tobacco quotas aid
ed farmers materially in main
taining a good balance between
supply and demand, thus keep
ing the farm income for flue
cured tobacco at a reasonable
level.
‘ 'Several recommendations
which should correct the diffi
culties encountered in 1938 have
been made for the 1939 program
by leading farm representives at
a recent conference and by nu
merous other farmers through
letters to the department. One
of the most important recom
mendations which will be adopt
ed for 1939 provides for the limi

tations of the quota transferred
to any individual farm to a rela

for the farm. In other words, a
producer who has tobacco ma
terially in excess of his quota
will be able to obtain by trans
fer from other producers addi
tional quota sufficient to cover
only a part of the excess. This
provision would not affect trans
fers from farms where product
ion was reduced because of un
favorable weather conditions.
“It is not expected that the
quotas will be completely satis
factory to all farmers, because
many growers desire to expand
their production as a result of
the favorable tobacco prices in
recent years. However, coopera
tion by farmers in the tobacco
programs clearly accounts for a
great part of the difference be
tween favorable prices for their
recent crops and disastrously low
prices such as those existing
prior to the beginning of the pro
gram in 1933.”

QUESTIONS
ANSWERED
Question: Is it economical to
grind feed for my beef cattle?
Answer: Grinding feeds does
not increase the nutritive value
nor does it increase digestibility,
but corn and cob meal is a safer
feed in the hands of an inexperi
enced feeder than shelled corn.
The small hard-coated grains
such as rye, wheat and barley
should be ground or rolled. Corn
stover and other low grade rough
ages may well be shredded so that
the inedible parts may be used
for bedding. If feed is ground be
sure that it is coarse as fine grind
ing causes digestive disturbances
and the fine ground feed is also
more liable to heat and spoil in
the bin.
Question: When is the best time
to sow seeds in hotbeds for early
vegetable crops?
Answer: This will depend upon
the time the plants are wanted in
the field and the section of the
State in which the garden is lo
cated. In Eastern North Carolina
such hardy crops as cabbages and
lettuce are sown in the fall in
open beds or cold-frames and
transplanted as early as January
15. In the mountain sections these
hardy crops are started in the
beds about January 1 to 15. For
the early crop of tender vege
tables such as tomatoes and pep
pers, the seed should be started
in hotbeds or window boxes from
eight to ten weeks before it is
safe to set in the field.
Question: Should grain feed in
the poultry flock be increased
when artificial lights are used?
Answer: The use of artificial
light naturally lengthens ithe
feeding period and it is therefore
necessary to increase grain con
sumption in order to maintain'
the body weight and control egg
production. Fourteen pounds of
grain to each 100 birds per day is
the usual amount to feed when
lights are used but grain con
sumption will vary from month
to month. The birds should go to
roost every night with their
crops full of grain. Mash con
sumption Will also, be increased
and this should be kept before
the birds at all times.
