Farmers Ask
Weed Market
Act Changes
Want Revision OF Provis-
ions To Permit Three-Year
Control Program
ENFORCEMENT URGED
Warren Believes Congress-
Will Approve Amend
ments To Present Law

WASHINGTON, April 8. - Up -
Broad revision of tobacco marketing
quota provisions of the farm act to
permit a ~three-year control program
and tighter enforcement was urged
today by representatives of flue-clur-
ed tobacco growers.
Meeting with a score of congress
members from tobacco districts, the
grower representatives, Joined by
warehousemen and bankers, called
for early adoption of changes to
cushion the situation brought about
through the loss Of foreign markets
because of the European war.
Sees Approval
Representative Warren DING ex.
pressed assurance little difficulty
would be encountered in obtaining
congressional action on the amend
ments.
Although flue-cured growers from
Virginia to Georgia were chiefly rep
resented at the meeting, called by
Representative Cooley D-NCl there
was an expression of support for the
three-year quota proposal from Ken
lucky hurley tobacco growers. Eur
ley and flue-cured are the principal
cigarette tobaccos.
This was the chief revision sug.
gested, providing for a farmer cleo
ton on marketing quotas for three
VIZ ~ 1yn11 nc for ono V0aT fhP
limit for which they may be ap-
piled under the existing act. The
requirement for a two-thirds favor
able majority Of farmers voting
will be continued.
Outstanding among the provisions
proposed to tighten control was n
calling for a fine of $100 for each
10000 pounds Of tobacco, with $4,000
as a maximum, against warehouse
men failing to keep complete and
accurate records.
To Strengthen Provision
Also the provision for collecting
the 1O-cent-a-pound penalty for sell
ing flue-cured tobacco in excess OF
quotas would be strengthened.
Other proposals were designed to
stabilize acreage allotments on
which marketing quotas are based
and to provide adjustments in quo
tas over a period longer than one
year.
J.. e. Winslow Of Greenville, N.
c., president of the North Carolina
farm bureau federation, acting as
spokesman for the growers, asked
the congressman to do all in their
power to get the amendments en-
acted.
eff this meeting isn't forceful
enough" he said, surveying the
nearly 100 growers present, then
we can send you thousands of petit
lions from all over the flue-cured
belt"
"I don't think we need any petit
tions," Cooley replied as the farmers
roared. He added seriously, however,
he wanted all farmers to express
themselves.
Winslow said there was consider
able sentiment in the belt for a five
year program and the general opln'
ion was that it should continue long
er than mi year.
Flue-cured growers voted almost
unanimously last year to invoke mar
keting quotas on their 1910 sales
