Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Weekly News Service: July 13, 1940-November 20, 1940

The first is. Why they are having a referendum: The flue - cured tobacco situation is the most critical in years. Supplies are at record peak. And the 1940 crop is adding an estimated 676 million pounds. Authorities believe domestic consumers will not use more than 400 million pounds. And because of the war, foreign consumers will be able to take only about 100 to 150 million pounds this season. This represents a tremendous cut in export demand. Prices averaged cents a pound last year under circumstances that were bad. But better than at present. Prices would have plunged lower except that farmers adopted quotas for 1940 and enabled the Government to take price-supporting measures.
