Tobacco Sales
Start tuesday
In Maryland
Formers Expect Good
Prices as Result of
Government Support
By ]. [. Michoel


Hope for higher tobacco prices
and stabilized markets had South
ern, Maryland's economic temper
ature soaring yesterday as farm
ers poured first offerings Of the
1948 crop onto the floors OF auc-
ton warehouses.
Sales will start Tuesday in eight
Iwarehouses-three at Upper Marl-
boro, three at Hughesville, one at
Waldorf and one at La Plata.
Builders Of ninth. now under
construction at Wayson's Corner,
near Upper Marlboro. are racing
against time to be ready on open
ing day.
There are two reasons why hopes
are high this year: One is that
last years $4,000, ,o0o-pound crop
is considered one Of the best in his
tory. both as to texture and burn
ing quality.
Price Pegged BY U. s.
Second. and perhaps more i'm
portant, is the fact that the Gov
eminent price-support program
will be inaugurated in Maryland
this year. 1t will operate only at
auction warehouses. The Balti-
more hogshead market. of the
Maryland Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation which opens Thursday. is
not included in the plan.
Support prices for the type OF
leaf produced in the five counties
have been set by the Government
at figures ranging from 66 to II
cents pound. The figures, which
will remained fixed throughout the
sales season. are calculated to
bring an average return of not
less than 43.9 cents a pound. These
infiexible figures are expected to
prevent the fluctuations which
have characterized the auctions in
the past.
The average for the record Az
600. 900 pound crop of 1946 was Is
cents and last year growers re-
ceived AIS cents a pound for the
SO, 100000 pounds raised in 1s47.
Differ ON Farm Costs.
State Extension Service author
tiles say the cost of growing Mary
land tobacco is about so cents q
pound, but farmers dispute this
and claim the cost figure is be-
tween 80 and 35 cents.
There is almost universal agree
ment. however. that Southern
Maryland will recoup some of its
losses II an average OF so cents
is reached tfiss year. There is,
too, a concensus that this figure
will be attained and possibly ex-
|ceeded.
Experts explain that q decade
|of sexperience on. other major
markets indicates that where
Government support prices are In
effect, bids usually are four to six
cents q pound higher than on
|nonsupported markets.
Lower Grades Bolstered.
The new support plan is ex-
pected to improve the market
chiefly by bolstering prices for
leaf Of low and medium-the
grades that have caused low aver
ages in the past.
Farmers are wondering. how
ever. whether the Government will
impose acreage restrictions. Ira
ditionally they are opposed to
Government control of any kind.
A prediction that some limits will
be placed on the number of acres
planted was made recently by
Joseph H. Blandford. chairman of
the State Production and Market
ing Administration. His state
ment was strengthened yesterday
when it was learned that stocks
|of Maryland tobacco in storage
warehouses are near the point
where the Secretary of Agricul-
ture is required by law TO take
such action.

Miller Again Charges
Officials Pay Penalty
For Byrd Differences
By the Assecle,sd Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, May

ChARlOllESV va, May
.7.-Francis Pickens Miller re-
newed his charge today that out
standing public figures" in Vir-

with "the Byrd party line"
And, in q statement which re-
piled to a challenge issued this
week by Harry F. Byrd. jr.. editor
Of the Winchester Star. the Dem
ocratic gubernatorial candidate
listed four cases In point.
But he refused TO 60 into fur

"I am not reporting to Mr..

Charges Intimidation.
"Since Mr.. Byrd has raised the
issue. however, would like TO so
into somewhat greater detail as
he requests.
AT this very moment, malicious
falsehoods are being spread
among State employees to intimi-
date them. They are being told
that If Miller Is elected Governor

am going TO enforce the merit
system rigidly and remove the
political pressures to which State
employees are now being sub
jected.
Moreover. the people Of Vir-
ginia have not forgotten the rec
ord over the years of the satel-
lites OF the Byrd machine. In this
respect.
Surely, the editor OF the VIM
chester Evening Star has not for
gotten the attack made BY his
father upon the appointment OF
Judge Floyd II. Roberts. Of Brts-
tol. va. when the latter WAS APP
pointed q Federal judge.
Fight Against Price Cited.
Further. the editor certainly
has not forgotten his own part
in the fight made TO destroy the
late Gov. James II. Price when
the now famous Coleman amend
ment was before the State Senate.
and in particular his visit TO Sen
ator Hunsdon Cary of the city
of Richmond In an effort to apply
pressure on the Senator to vote
for the Coleman amendment when
that amendment was before the
Virginia State Senate.
And. Of course. the editor has
not forgotten the attitude Of the
newspaper which he edits toward
the late Senator Russell Gather
because Of Senator Gathers sup
port OF the late Gov. Price and
his administration.
These wen-known examples of
the methods used by the Bird
machine To penalixe outstanding
public figures for independent
thought and action are parRlleled
by unpublished experiences Of
countless private citizens.

superintendent of education, has
called upon the school superin-

with their own community plans
for the MARCH OF DIMES. The
campaign opened officially jan

Mr.. Tubb calls attention to Of
fetal reports from Mr.. V. T. An
thony, state director for the Ma
tional Foundation, that there were
1880 cases of polio in 1948 of
which number 100 were in Mis-

the number reported in 1947. All
of these cases have received ex-
cellent treatment in the Vicks-
burg and the Mercy hospital Of
Vicksburg.
Mr.. Tubb believes that the re-

Interior Decorating

A beautiful, convenient and
comfortable home does not just
happen, but is the result of sys-
tematic planning, says Miss Lor-
raine Ford, Extension home man.
agement specialist.
Although it takes money to
make home improvements home
which all members of the family
find livable does not depend on
the amount of money spent.
Do not plan one room at a time,
but consider the inside of the
house as a whole. Likewise, the
interior should reflect the spirit
and feeling expressed by the ex-
terror architecture. For example,
Colonial house should have
Colonial interiors.
With the interior, the back
ground of rooms is important. A
good background rule is ceiling
light, walls a bit darker and floors
the darkest.
Lighter shades and tints In ne
trail colors are generally best for
walls, especially if pictures are
used or if the home is a small
one. Many prefer to use color
where it can be changed frequent
ly.
In choosing wallpaper, avoid
large designs, fancy borders and
bright colors. Papers usually ap-
pear darker when put on the
wall.
Floors, like walls, should be
restful. Choose a rug with soft,
quiet colors and a small design,
rather than a large pattern. A
plain rug makes a room seem
larger. A wide border on a rug
and also a larger patterned rug
makes room appear smaller.
