FIX 6-CENT LEVY
ON LEAF TOBACCO
Processing Program to Be
Placed in Effect to FL
nance Acreage Cut.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A processing tax Of about 6 cents a
pound will be put into effect soon on
cigar leaf tobaccos to finance a program
of reducing the acreage of this years
crop.
The plan was outlined yesterday by
administrators of the farm act in their
first application Of its provisions to one
of the IS varieties of the tobacco crop.
The acreage reduction plan will be
put into effect starting next week, with
curtailments to be sought in the New
England, Ohio-Indiana, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania-New York and Georgia
Florida districts, to which the growing
of cigar leaf tobacco is limited.
Farmers will be paid cash benefits
in return for reducing the acreage of
their growing crop. Up to so per
cent reduction of their base acreage will
be sought, with each farmer to be given
his choice Of three plans.
He may take as base 80 per cent Of
the average acreage planted to tobacco
on his farm in 1881 and 1892;
Or, he may take as base the acreage
planted to tobacco on his farm in 1892,
provided the acreage planted in 1882
did not exceed that planted in 1881;
Or, if the acreage planted on his farm
in 1882 was greater than that of 1881,
he may take as base the acreage
planted in 1881 and 1882.
President Behind Cotton Plan.
President Roosevelt threw his per-
sonal influence behind the cotton acre
age reduction program yesterday, as
final touches were put on plans for be-
ginning tomorrow an intensive cam
paign in Southern States to cut down
this years output of the crop.
In preface to an explanation of the
plan issued over the Presidents
signature, farmers Of the cotton belt
were called upon to cooperate in the
program under which Secretary of Agri
culture Wallace hopes to reduce acre
age about 100000 and cut down
this years potential production 100000
to 1000 900 bales.
"The fate of any plan depends upon
the support it is given by those who
are asked to put 1t into operation" the
Presidents message said. This pro-
gram for the cotton producer essen
TALLY places the responsibility upon the
individual farmer.
He and he alCne will, in the last
analysis, determine whether it shall
succeed. This plan offers the cotton
producer a practical, definite means

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 24.-Postmastel
General James A. Farley, in his capacity
as Democratic national chairman, dug
today into the problem of Fedora
patronage for Tammany Hall and tts
allies.
Farley conferred for more than ar
hour with John H. McCooey. Brooklyn
Democratic leader and the States mem
ber of the National Committee. He
said afterward no conclusions had been
reached and he would see McCooey
again after July 1.
In some quarters 1t was said Farley
is preparing to approve Tammany rec
concentrations for some positions. In
his recent discussions with State lead
ers, however, Farley has made it plain
Tammany and its associates would be
recognized only in New York City and
not as representing the entire State
organization.
It was indicated that Long Island
counties would be given q larger pro-
portion than usual of Federal appoint
ments available in this district, and
that McCooeys Brooklyn organization
also would fare well.
The Brooklyn leader was understood
to have presented to Farley his recon-
for postmaster and other
key positions.
Democratic chieftains here have
evinced not only interest in obtaining
jobs for their lieutenants, but concern
over President Roosevelts attitude to-
ward Tammany and the party organiza-
tions in the other boroughs.
Farley is completing the long list OF
which will go to the
President when he returns from his
vacation.
The Postmaster General will leave
tomorrow night for netroit, where he
will speak to a Democratic club Mon
day. He will address the Advertising
Club of America that evening at Grand
Rapids, Mich.
On Tuesday he will attend the New
York repeal convention at Albany. He
confidence the repeal amend
ment would be ratified by 36 States
either by the end of this year or early
next year.

ing company Of railroad securities, was
organized in accordance with the ad-
vice of Kuhn, Loeb e. Co.. which under
