Loan Rates Announced on
1968 Flue-cured Tobacco
Loan rates for the 1968 crop
of flue-cured tobacco will
range by grade from 31 cents
to 87 cents a pound for untied
leaf, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture has announced. If
tied, 3 cents will be added to
each grade.
The rates reflect an average
support of 61.6 cents a pound,
about 3 percent above 1967.
Any eligible tobacco identi
fied as “discount variety” to
bacco will again be supported
at one-half of the support rates
for comparable grades of other
varieties.
Rufus Adams, Georgia Agri
cultural Stabilization and Con
servation State Committee,
points out that as in past
years, growers will offer their
tobacco at auction markets in
the usual manner, and price
support will be made avail
able through the Flue-Cured
Tobacco Cooperative Stabili
zation Corporation.
A farmer who keeps his ac
reage within his farm acreage
allotment can market up to
110 percent of his farm pound
age quota with price support.
However, any marketings be
yond 100 percent of the farm
poundage quota will be sub
stracted from next year’s quo
ta.
The chairman reminds farm
ers that price support on un
tied tobacco will be available
throughout the entire market
ing season on all auction mar
kets. Price support on tied to
bacco will continue to be made
available at 3 cents per pound
higher than for untied tobacco
grade-for-grade throughout the
marketing season in the tra
ditionally tied areas.

expected due to the increas
ing emphasis being placed on
vocational or technical skills.
Courses of study include
data processing, accounting,
secretarial, clerical, practical
nursing, electronic technolo
gy, auto mechanics, radio-t.v.-
servicing, machine shop, draft

FIRE TOOL
In the forest, fire can be a
destroyer. But if properly us
ed, fire can be a valuable
management tool, according to
foresters with the University
of Georgia Cooperative Exten
sion Service. The secret of
wise use of fire is profession
al planning, correct weather
conditions and adequate sup
ervision.
100,000 inhabitants experienc
ed an average increase of 17
percent, suburban areas 16
percent and the rural areas
10 percent. When viewed by
geographic region, the Noth
eastern States reported a 21
percent rise, the North Cen
tral and Southern States each
registered a 15 percent in
crease and the Western States
an overall crime increase of
16 percent.
The FBI Director called par
ticular attention to the con
tinued sharp increases in the
crimes of violence. He speci
fically commented on the
sharp increases in robbery,
conside~ed by many to be the
bellwether of crime. Nation
wide, according to Mr. Hoover,
armed robbery where .any
weapon was used rose 26 per
cent and aggravated assault
with a firearm increased 23
percent during the first quar
ter of 1968 over the same per
iod in 1967.
