Weed QUOTA
INCREASED

WASHINGTON - The Agri-
culture Department has pro-
claimed a national marketing
quota for next years flue,cured
crop of l,O3O,000,000 pounds.
This, it is estimated, will re.
suit in an acreage increase OF
about S per cent over the sea-
sons allotments for most farm
erS.
Under the quota laws, this ov-
erall poundage figure can be in
creased by any amount up TO
20 per cent at any time up to
March l, l949.
And since the departments
early proclaimed quotas are
additionally conservative it IS
likely that a further increase in
acreage allotments will be pro-
claimed.
The most important Of the
currently favorable factors in
the flue-cured tobacco supply
situation are:
/. Improved prospects for for
eign exports under the Euro
pean Recovery Plan. This pro-
gram is slow getting under way
but promises steady, progress
sively increasing market.
2. The still-climbing domes.-
tic consumption of flue-cured
tobacco in cigarette production.
3. Market prices for flue-cur-
ed tobacco sold thus far this year
haze been running four to five
cents per pound, and sometimes
more, higher than last years
averages.
Tobacco farmers now are opc.
Grating under an acreage cut OF
about PTS per cent as compared
with their allotments in l947.
The l949 poundage quota, con,
verified on the basis OF l943-T
yields, would give a total allot-
nent of about 100000 acres as
compared with 100000 acres al
loted in 1948.
