propose to try to force anything on
the growers Of Burley tobacco, but we
intend to attempt to create con-
certed movement for at least a fifty
per cent. reduction of the 1921 Burley
crop.
AN extended survey of the Burley
district" he said, Indicates that such
a movement will receive practically
the unanimous support tot all tobacco
growers, both land owners and ten
ants, and believe the cool judgment
of the growers will convince them
that movement will be for the best
interests Of the growers individually
and for the tobacco industry in gen.
eral."
II is not the purpose Of the Burley
Growers Association to request the
small grower who plants only few
acres to reduce his crop by half, it was
said. MANY farmers grow only two
to five acres of tobacco, and that gen.
orally is grown on land that has been
rotated with other crops or that has
been reclaimed from a briar patch or
a pawpaw thicket," Mr.. Newman said.
This sort of land makes the finest
grade of tobacco and the quantity Is
not sufficient to affect the market.
This class of tobacco grower is en-
titled to his small money crop within
any material reduction. No farmer
will be asked to grow less than three
acres Of tobacco this year. All farm
ers who grew more than six acres last
year will be requested to cut the crop
this year to at least half the 1920
acreage"
