Acreage Increase Possibility in Tobacco 1961
Raleigh AP reports J B Hutson of Tobacco Associates says a 10 percent rise in flue cured tobacco acreage may be justified in 1961 if price problems are solved. He spoke to tobacco leaders from five states in Raleigh noting that the 1960 national marketing quota should stay at the current level. Secretary Benson plans to set the 1960 allotment by December. He added price clarity could support a 5 percent increase for 1960 if conditions improve.
