that should deter increased 1896 to-
bacco planting, the fact is that unless
we can get combined action by both
Congress and our state legislatures,
the outlook is that tobacco acreage
will be increased even more than cot
ton acreage. Said tobacco grower to
a friend of ours the other day: "I
have been planting 80 acres of tobac-
co; this year expect to plant 100
acres" And of course one big non
cooperating grower like this can null
lily the fine cooperative policy of
dozens of little farmers. And yet in
the opinion of many observers, the
greatest danger to tobacco control
this year comes from heavily increas-
ed planting by the small growers
themselves. eve were caught with
low base acreage when AAA started"
many of them are reported as saying.
well, we are going to- build up big
enough base acreage in 1885," And
thereby like blind, mad Samson of old
they may pull down the whole temple
of good prices that acreage control
built up in previous years-and may
not get any benefit at all from their
words, 1885 acreage will probably NOT
be counted in figuring future "bases"
AS for the real outlook on flue-cured
acreage, a committee of growers who
just met in Washington makes this
report
eff growers plant as much tobacco
as they now appear ready to plant
the crop will amount to about 900,-
100000 pounds. But according to the
present outlook, growers cannot ex-
pect to sell more than 640,OO0,000
pounds at reasonable price"
The men and women who grow cot
ton and tobacco in our territory can
take the figures we have given and
form their own conclusions. We have
no desire to have them do anything
except what is best for their own well
fare. But both because CD for their
own sakes we do wish to see present
cotton and tobacco prices maintained
or bettered and (2) because The Pro-
gressive Farmers own welfare is
bound up with the farmers welfare,
both selfish and unselfish reasons
cause us again to make this last APP
peal:-
Come let us reason together before
