TOBACCO
QUOTAS PROPOSED

would affect tobacco growers direct
~.
The definite establishment of
marketing quotas for a perido of two
or thre- years would make it possible
to provide in advance for adjust
ments over a period Of years 20
eliminate excess supplies of tobac-
CO." Wallace said.
He suggested that the r%eferen-
DUN on three-year quotas be sub.
mitted this year along with the
regular annual quota referendum.
Should two-thirds of the farmers
voting favor the longer quota per
iod, the secretary would be require
to proclaim quotas for two or three
marketing years, depending on the
time he believed necessary to a.
just total supply to the reserve level
supply without unduly restricting
marketing.
Rejection Of the longer quota
period would not prevent the secre-
tary from ordering separate annual
votes during each of the next three
years.
Another change would remove an
existing requirement hat the mar
keting quota for any state should
not be less than IS per cent of 1887
vision that the national marketing
quota for 1871, 1912 and 1913 should
not be reduced more than ten per
cent below the 1904 quota and
the acreage allotments for the same
years should be adjusted unifor ly
in relation to 1910 allotments. No
farm allotment of one acre or les
would BE- cut below the 1910 allot-
ment.
This change, Wallace said, would
protect small farmers and reduce
administrative costs and "reco'
rizes that hurley and flue-cured to-
5acco allotments for the next three
years will need to be about the
same size as the 1910 allotments in
order to eliminate the present sur
plus"
Wallace also recommended amend
ments to allow for temporary and
"unusual' increases in the carry
over of tobacco in fixing marketing
quotas; to permit upward adjust
ments of quotas for any marketing
yeal SO the adjustment needed tt
eliminate the supply in excess f
the reserve supply level might be
spread over a period longer than one
year; to allow carry-over from one
marketing year to another without
penalty under certain conditions
and to strengthen enforcement Of
quota by increasing fines against
Warehousemen or dealers who fail
ed to keep required records.
