TOBACCO CROP PROSPECTS TO BE DISCUSSED Growers to Get Together at New Hope Meeting to Decide on Price. Tobacco growers of Preble county will meet at New Hope tonight and on Feb. 18 at West Manchester. O. J. McKee, of Lewlsburg, says the purpose of these meetings is: First, to get the tobacco men together as a unit, and thus be able to make a stand for a price, based upon the cost of production and a reasonable profit. Secondly, to form a farmers' organization for the protection of their In"Plunging" in tobacco growing to the neglect of other crops is not justified by the present tobacco situation which the department of agriculture, in a statement issued today describes as difficult. Advises Crop Rotation In territory where tobacco is a new crop, recently introduced to .replace cotton under boll-weevil conditions, as in portions of South Carolina and Georgia, the best interests of thfarmers, the statement says, appear to lie in the development of a safe and well-diversified system of farming rather than to plunge from the uncertainty of cotton production into the possibly, still greater uncertainty of tobacco production under existing conditions. While it is impossible, the statement declares, to arrive at the quantity of tobacco Europe will be prepared to purchase during the next year or two, it seems likely that any considerable increase over 'the 1918 crop in the flue-cured section would be followed by a decline in market prices. Large Crops on Hand The largest crop of tobacco the country has ever produced is being marketed, and while prevailing market prices are very high for some of the leading types, such abnormal prices are said to be due primarily to war conditions. The department points out that the country has grown three large crops of tobacco in succession, with no decided shortage in production of any of the leading types. As compared with pre-war figures, exports of leaf tobacco were somewhat above normal In 1916, much below normal in 1917. and still slightly below the average in 1918, average exports for these three years being approximately 380,000,000 pounds as against an average of 416,000,000 pounds for the three years ending with 1913. The quantity of leaf tobacco annually consumed in domestic manufacture during the last three years ehows an increase of about 100,000.000 pounds over the preceding period, due largely to a decided progressive increase in the manufacture of cigarettes. How ever, present Indications are that no more tobacco was consumed in domestic manufacture in 1918 than in the preceding year. Stocks on Hand. '.' Stocks of leaf tobacco in the hands of dealers and manufacturers as of January 1 are reported as about 1,235,000,000 pounds for all types, a considerable increase ever the figures of previous years With a 1918 crop est.J 1 nnn inn . . iimairu ai i.of v,uuu,uvu . puURus, a . domestic consumption of about 720,000,000 pounds, leaving a large surplus over pre-war export requirements, and with stocks of leaf tobacco in the hands of dealers and manufacturers above the normal, it seems obvious, says the department, that ordinarily there would be a tendency toward lower prices. ' TT.I . XI . umuj luuaieiy mere appears to do 'no means available at this time for arriving at the European requirements for leaf tobacco and its products during the next year. Cigar leaf, practically all of which goes Into domestic consumption, has declined sharply In price since the signing of the armistice,, and the market for this type has been inactive. The fire-cured types, which are exported perhaps to the extent of 80 per cent of the production, are selling at moderately high prices. The fluecured type, somewhat more than half of which is normally exported, and Burley, which ordinarily is not an export type, have been selling at abnormally high prices. The situation with references to flue cured tobacco is of special importance in view of the extraordinarily large crop of last year and the possibility i of a further large increase in the crop Vthls year, particularly in eastern TVorth Carolina and in South Carolina and Georgia, where cotton is the chief competing crop. The situation would seem to be one calling for the exercise of caution by farmers, particularly on the part of those who have not previously grown the crop and would need to provide new curing barns and other equipment.
