Farm Leaders
To Discuss
Acreage Cut
GREENSBORO, N. C. — Fur
ther reduction of quotas for next
year’s crop will be discussed at
a meeting of farm leaders from
flue-cured tobacco states here
Sept. 10.
R. Flake Shaw, executive vice
president of the North Carolina
Farm Bureau, said he called the
meeting because “so many tobac
co farmers feel that the 12 per
cent reduction in tobacco acreage
for next year isn’t enough.”
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson already has set a 12
percent reduction of quotas for
1956.
Shaw’s action came as tobacco
prices declined on auction mar
kets in the five-state flue-cured
belt.
In some markets nearly 50 per
cent of the tobacco has come un
der the government loan pro
gram.
This year’s crop is bigger than
last year’s, he said, despite a five
percent reduction of acreage in
1955.
Dr. and Mrs. Bibb Saye of
