AWAITING TRENDS

FLORENCE, S. c., Aug. 5.-R-
Europe's var has narrowed n e
~fue-cured tobacco export field and
made Carolina farmers extremely
apprehensive about prices for the
1910 crop.
The first chant of the auction
GERS on the Georgia and Florida
markets Thursday will resound
throughout tobaccoland for every
one is anxiously awaiting possible
price trends. Growers fear they
will be lower than last year when
the bright crop brought STA, 00O,-
900 or an average of Is cents a
pound. This compares with an
average of % cents for the FIVE
year period ended in 1888.
The seven-to-one majority by
which the tobacco farmers of the
southeast voted recently for a
three-year control program in
dicates the extent of the emergency
with which they are confronted, di-
rectly or indirectly the result of the
war. No other group of American
farmers ever voted for a three
year program of crop restriction.
And the vote for the annual quota
of Glib, 600, 900 pounds for each of
the next three years also carries
the hope of many growers h a t
Uncle Sam will bolster this years
prices!S Last year, after a sales
holiday, the Commodity Credit cor
poration bought up several million
pounds, of fue-cured Weed-w i t h
which cigarettes are made-on the
premise that those purchases would
be taken after the war by British
companies whose buyers had been
withdrawn; this surplus is already
a depressing factor.
Looming more important in some
eyes, however, is the English en-
barge which shut off U. S. exports
to Britain completely. In 1888 the
United Kingdom took 63.3 per cent
of American flue-cured exports or
269 million pounds. Increased pro-
duction in at least IL countries and
larger world supplies on hand are
other influences.
The one encouraging factor ap-
pears to be the general belief that
quality of offerings this year will
be above the average. Quality OF
leaf plays an important part in the
price averages-if there is suffi-
cient superior offerings the aver
age price rises proportionately.
Although recent hot weather
damaged crops in some sections,
Carolina warehousemen, who have
opened their huge. barns to farmers
who wish to pile their offerings
early both to obtain storage and
preferred places in the sales lines,
report quality very good" T

in California. The boards will ar
range the lists in sequence from
one to approximately $500 in each
of the draft districts, and it is then
that John will get his "lucky" num-
ber.
The next step is a huge lottery,
to be conducted in Washington, to
determine the order in which men
later selected as suitable and avail
able for service are actually called
for training.
A number will be drawn by lot
the first one probably by President
Roosevelt-and will correspond to
the serial number held by one man
in each of the local board areas.
Successive numbers will be drawn
in the same manner until the order
is determined for all men registered
under the program.
John will not be officially notified
of his position in the drawing until
he actually receives his question:
naire, an eight-page document which
inquiries minutely into every phase
of our mans history and present
circumstances.
The list of numbers will be pub
lished by the newspapers and broad
cast by the radio, however, and if
John is the least bit interested he
will find out when his number
comes up far in advance of the for
NAL notification.
He will have five days to return
the QUESTIONABLE properly filled
out. 1t will then be up to the local
board, composed of three persons
of high standing in the community,

and classify the registrants in four
classes.
First selections for training will
be made from the "class one group,
those in good physical condition,
having no dependents and not en-
gagged in essential industries. Those
deferred" and placed in the other
three classes are subject to call
later if and when the first list is
exhausted.
This will all be done without John
being consulted personally, and he
will be notified of his classification
by postcard.
If he thinks he has been dis
eliminated against, however, he can
carry his case to board of appeal,
of which there will be 20 in Cali
fornia. If his appeal is based on
the grounds he is physically unfit
for service, there will be a similar
number of medical boards organ
lied to hear his arguments.
In round numbers, army officials
estimate that about one in 40 of
those registered will be drawn for
service by the first of 1941.
