Tobacco Auctions Set
For May 2-August 4
In Southern Maryland
By J. |. Michael

Southern Maryland tobacco auc-
tions will open May 2 and close
August 4.
The dates were set at meeting
this week of representatives of the
State Tobacco Authority, market
operators and buyers.
During the 13-week period eight
or nine warehouses in Charles
Prince Georges and Anne Arun-
del Counties will sell the major
part of the 1949 crop-seconc
largest ever grown in the five
southern counties.
The remainder, except for 9
small amount held over, will be
sold at the Baltimore hogsheao
market, which is open all year.
See Larger Crop.
The Agriculture Department es.
timated production last year al
IL million pounds, but area to-
bacconists believe the figure will
be closer to As million.
The record was set in 1916 when
48 million pounds was harvested
The 1948 crop was about 38 mil
lion.
Tobacco men differ as to the
quality of the 1949 crop, partly be-
cause much of it was planted late
and harvested when the weather
was considered too cool for proper
curing. Maryland air-cured Type
80 tobacco must have warm days
and nights while drying out te
acquire the desired bright color.
The percentage OF medium ane
low grade leaf in last years cror
is expected to be greater than II
1948 but some growers say there
will be as much, or more, good
tobacco because of the volume.
Support Price Lower.
The Government support price

inaugurated in Maryland, wa.
43.9 cents a pound. This veal
it will be Alb cents but the diff
ference is not expected to result il
