More Favorable Price, Far

co; Only Five Percent of

Washington, April Il. -<Api An
influx of cotton farmers into the pro-
drction of tobacco THIS year is caus-
ing administrative difficulties, Off
cials said today, in putting the new
crop control program inyo operation
They estimated betweeA $4,000 and
10000 farmers who did no. produce

zion of the South are applying for
acreage allotments and marketing
ouotas under the 1888 restrictive PRO
dGction program.
Under the control program, Which
growers approved at n referendum in
March this year. natiolal marketing
quota has been set at $4,000, 00O
pounds, compared with last years
crop of S5O,0OO,O00 pounds.
Officials explained the addition o.
new growers would reduce allotments
and quotas that otherwise would be
available to those who produced the
tobacco last year.
The factor attracting many cotton
farmers to tobacco, officials said, was
the more favorable price prospect for
tobacco Cotton prices are now only
slightly more than half the parity
: or "ideal''-price. Flue-cured tobac-
co, on the other hand, has averaged
about % cents a pound this year, Of
tcals said, compared with a parity
price of about 10 cents.
Under formulas set up in the new
crop control law for allotments of
marketing quotas, not more than five
percent of a States quota may be US
ed to provide allotments to new grow
ers and to make adjustments in al
lotments of small farms.
Officials said it was probable that
quotas for new growers would be less
than 5000 pounds.
