tuesday for Sale Farley
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department has
called meeting of the tobacco
trade for next Tuesday to work out
plans for distributing the unsold
portion of this years Burley tobacco
crop among buyers.
Offlcials said such plans had
been made necessary by the fact
that competitive bidding by buyers
at auctions no longer afforded a
satisfactory and equitable method
of dividing up the crop. because
prices were at Government ceiling
levels.
Invited to attend the conference
were representatives of tobacco
warehousemen, manufacturers and
growers.
Charles w. Gage, tobacco spe-
cialist of the Agricultural Market
ing Administration, said growers
who had unsold tobacco need have
no concern over prices they would
receive under the contemplated dis
tribution program.
Interest of the farmers will be
protected fully" he said.
