Tobacco acreage dispute prompts committee probe in Washington
A committee of western and southern tobacco men pressed Statistician Dodge and Commissioner Coleman over alleged overestimation of this year’s tobacco acreage. Dodge defended methods using broad data from 25,000 to 30,000 growers and state agents, while the committee warned of underreported county yields and warned that drought effects may have inflated figures. The meeting ended with plans to reconvene and harmonize figures to satisfy both sides.
