S. C. STATE UBRAR ... TOBACCO CREATES JOBS FOR MILLIONS 1961 TOBACCO SEASON During the 1961 Tobacco Season, South Carolina tobacco grow ers sold 136,836,555 pounds of tobacco on the State's 11 auction markets. This poundage brought $90,592,107.00 for a season average of 65.6 cents per pound. There are 41 warehouses on the 11 auction markets which opened on August 3 for the beginning of the 1961. season. This opening date was some 8 days ahead of 1960's date of August 11. Producer's tobacco sales at $90,592,107.00 during 1961 showed a favorable increase of approximately $10,500,000 over 1960's producer's sales of $80,102,623.59. Poundage of producer's sales also increased by 7,596,878 pounds from 129,239,677 pounds dur ing 1960 to 136,836,555 pounds during 1961. · The high quality flue-cured tobacco produced by .South Caro lina's tobacco farmers was in heavy demand when the 41 ware houses opened for business and tobacco pri~s generally averaged around 3 to 5 cents per pound above 1960's tobacco prices. This high quality tobacco was in continual demand all through the selling season, and when the tobacco markets closed in Sep tember, average price rate for the season was $65.6114 per hun-

LOOSE LEAF SALES URGED Several months prior to the opening of South Carolina's to bacco markets, The South Carolina Department of Agriculture and Farmer Organizations strongly urged the United States Department of Agriculture to allow South Carolina's tobacco farmers to sell a certain portion of their tobacco loose in the State Warehouses. The Department and the farmer organizations were supported in their efforts by many other State officials. On Tuesday, May 9, 1961, supporters of loose-leaf tobacco sales presented statements to United States Department of Agri culture officials in Washington as to why they and South Caro lina farmers felt that a portion of flue-cured tobacco should be sold loose on the State tobacco markets. Following is a text of the Commissioner's statement : My name is William L. Harrelson. I am appearing at this hearing in the capacity of an individual tobacco grower from the State of South Carolina, and in an official capacity as Com missioner of Agriculture for the State of South Carolina. I am also appearing with and cooperating with the South Carolina Farm Bureau, the South Carolina Grange, and the South Carolina Tobacco Warehouse Association in their efforts to see if something can be accomplished toward permitting South Carolina tobacco producers to sell a limited amount of loose-lea£ tobacco during the coming tobacco season and there after. As you well know, and as my friend Joe Williams will sub stantiate, the right to sell loose-lea£ tobacco in South Carolina is not of recent origin. This privilege has been sought by our farmers down through the years. I have been serving as Commissioner of Agriculture since 1956, and every year since 1956 I have been attending meetings myself on the question so I know of my own knowledge the question has been under discussion. You can readily see that it is a problem of long standing. I would point out that the tobacco industry, like everything else, is changing. Tobacco has undergone radical changes---every phase of tobacco, from the time the seeds are sewn on the to- 5

Those concerned with tobacco, the producer and the processor, have displayed a remarkable ability to adjust to changing times and conditions. I attribute the success of tobacco in this country to this ability. The industry-and when I say industry-! in clude the producer and the processor, has been able to keep abreast of the changing times. Tobacco has been one of the most successful industries in the United States. Credit for this success has been due to the full cooperation of everyone concerned. I don't have to tell you that in recent years all of agriculture has been caught in a cost-price squeeze. And as a result, net pro fits for the farmers have dropped. The labor situation has be come more and more acute each year and as I see it, this will continue indefinitely. With more and more farm families leaving the farm each year, unless mechanical harvesting can be improv ed, I can foresee the time when tobacco will disappear from the farm scene. According to a recent survey by U.S.D.A., grading
Basket maker makes tobacco baskets. 7 and tieing tobacco requires 10.8 man hours per hundred pounds as compared with 1.87 hours in the sale in loose-leaf form. For this 8.93 hours additional work, there is supposed to be a price differential of 5¢ per pound, but the figures show that for the past five (5) marketing seasons, only once has he ever received it, that usually it has been only a differential of $3.9. But aside from the lack of a sufficient price differential, the real problem facing the tobacco farmer is the labor problem. Very frankly, I see no reason or necessity for the companies to continue to exploit the tobacco farmers by forcing them to con tinue to tie their tobacco. All of the domestic companies are thrashing tobacco, and even some of the export firms are also thrashing tobacco. So there is no reason or basis whatsoever for continuing to impose this burden on our farmers. My information from those concerned with the export trade and it is from sources I consider reliable-is that at the present time, if advised at once a goodly portion of the companies could convert over to thrashing for this season, while the others say that they could not do it in time for the coming season, but could do it by the following season. The present administration holds itself out as wanting to help the farmers of this country and this is a wonderful opportunity to do so, in that such a move would help alleviate the high cost of production. The tobacco farmers are very reasonable people, gentlemen. I believe that if something could be worked out whereby they would be assured they could sell tobacco loose-leaf by the season after the present one coming up, they would go along with such a proposition. DECISION-"NO SURPRISE" Although there was much support for the sale of loose leaf tobacco on the markets, the final decision by the United States Department of Agriculture was the same as decisions in past years, that all tobacco should again be sold tied. Of course this extremely thoughtless decision was very disappointing and in a subsequent news release the decision was criticized as "no sur prise." Following is a copy of the News Release: Commissioner of Agriculture William L. Harrelson announced .today that the refusal of the United States Department of Agri culture to provide a 1961 support pri~e for untied tobacco in 8
Flax, once useless, is now used in cigarette paper-annual value of flax: $22 million.
South Carolina "did not come with any surprise." He said, "the surprise was that the decision was made this early in the season." "It has been customary," says Mr. Harrelson, "for the federal officials to withhold their decisions until they know definitely that the tobacco trade cannot get their machinery in order to handle loose leaf sales. They would have followed the same pattern this year if strong pressure had not been plaeed on the Secretary of Agriculture for a definite decision in ample time be fore the markets open." Commissioner Harrelson reports the adverse decision was ex pected and "South Carolina tobacco growers need not expect any relief from the burdensome and unnecessary cost of tying tobacco as long as our petitions must be presented to "star cham ber" hearings like those conducted in Washington, April 12, and May 9." He said, "although the only spoken opposition was registered by tobacco exporters, it was immediately apparent, from the moment Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, Horace D. Godfrey, 9
·called the meeting to order, that our claims would fall on un friendly ears." The Commissioner advises that the export representatives con tiue to offer the time worn claim that foreign manufacturers cannot handle loose leaf tobacco in their manufacturing pro cesses. "This is an excuse not substantiated by the record," says Mr. Harrelson, "the tobacco trade knows that exporters have been active in buying loose-leaf and foreign manufacturers are modernizing their plants to use loose leaf tobacco in the same manner as our domestic manufacturers."
Farm supplier sells machinery and supplies to tobacco farmers. He continued, "A representative of one of the largest ex porters frankly stated his company did not buy lugs and primings (the first two harvesting from the bottom of the stalk.) He could not explain his opposition to our request when reminded that South Carolina farmers were only asking loose leaf sales on lugs and primings and therefore could not interfere with his company's buying pattern." 10
PRESENT SYSTEM PENALIZES TOBACCO FARMERS The recent hearing was another in a great number of hearings over the years to help solve the vexing problem of allowing loose leaf tobacco sales in two states and denying the same marketing privilege in others. The Commissioner charges this system as "arbitrary, penalizing to tobacco farmers, and a highly dis criminatory action by the United States Department of Agri culture." He further states, "If the Department is actually con-
Pipe maker makes pipes by hand. 11 cerned, as they are delegated to be, in the net income of farmers, we cannot understand why they let industry dictate the terms of marketing procedures." The Commissioner also remarked that The Tobacco Associates and the Commodity Credit Corporation, by their conduct, openly opposed the South Carolina farmer's request, although the To bacco Associates collect a voluntary contribution of nearly $38,000 annually from South Carolina farmers to help with prob lems of marketing tobacco, "I have personally contributed many dollars to the Associates over the years and do not intend to continue in the face of their total disregard of tobacco marketing problems in South Carolina. The Commodity Credit Corpor ation is a government supported organization instituted by Cong ress to insure protective marketing for the farmer. Apparently they have become a storage holding company because big busi ness has preferential concern." The Commissioner stated that domestic manufacturers had only one representative at the meeting and he merely observed. He says most United States Manufacturers of cigarettes can use loose-leaf easier than tied tobacco and the request by South Carolina farmers is not a problem. According to the Commis sioner the federal officials in 1960 conducted marketing surveys in foreign markets which reveal these markets are interested in United States leaf tipped and thrashed in the green state prior to exportation in order to effect savings in handling and in freight. The manufacturers are expressing interest in this de velopment as a "possible savings of the expense of tying the tobacco." "In the face of this survey which, incidentally has not been published," says Mr. Harrelson, "the position of the United States Department of Agriculture is indefensible. The new set up in the federal department claims they are interested in pro tecting the net income of the farmer. These "star chamber" sessions, however, convinces me the influence which existed in the federal Tobacco Division is still there and South Carolina tobacco farmers need not expect any consideration when it comes to decreasing the cost of producing a tobacco crop." "Tobacco leaders also know," he said, "that increasing the support price differential on tied tobacco from five to six cents will not help the farmer but will give added operating funds 12
Vending macMnes are important outlets for tobacco products. to the Stabilization Corporation. This increase is purely subter fuge to make the public believe the farmer will get one cent a pound more than in 1960, and this is not true." Hope still remains high, among all concerned, that a future de cision will be more favorable to South Carolina tobacco interests.
TOBACCO TYPES Flue-cured tobacco is the type tobacco grown most extensively in South Carolina and accounts for almost 100% of total South Carolina tobacco production as can be seen in Table 1. This to bacco is planted under government allotment and this tobacco re port is devoted primarily to the flue-cured type. Burley tobacco is another type which is grown very sparingly in this state. Data is shown in Table 2. This tobacco is air cured rather than barn-cured. Burley tobacco is used primarily in cigars, chewing tobacco and snuff. Practically all of the Burley tobacco grown in this state is sold on the North Carolina markets, and this is principally on the Asheville, N. C. market. 13
Aromatic tobacco is another type tobacco which is grown very limitedly in this state. This tobacco is also known as Turkish tobacco. There are no government restrictions or allotments on the growing of Aromatic tobacco. A very limited acreage is grown in the Ridge Section, Piedmont and Mountain counties of South Carolina. This tobacco seems to be established as a. permanent money crop in some of these sections.
Research is an important phase of the tobacco industry.
Up until recent years Aromatic tobacco was air and sun cured, and no artificial heat was used, but the South Carolina Experi ment Station has devised a method by which Aromatic tobacco can be cured by a heat method. Under this system the tobacco may be cured by a combination sun in the daytime and heat at night or a heat alone system. Aromatic tobacco is used to blend with other tobaccos in the manufacture of cigarettes. 14

TOBACCO CREATES JOBS FOR MILLIONS from Tobacco News: March, 1961 There are some 17 million Americans who share a common stake in that they depend on tobacco for all or some part of their live lihood. Like most industries, tobacco is heavily dependent on the goods and services of other industries. In 1612, when the industry began in the U. S., it was an agricultural crop for the colony of

Jamestown. As tobacco use grew in popularity, so did the in dustry, and new occupations came into being. Today, tobacco sales in the U. S. run over $7 billion annually. In between the farmer who grows the tobacco crop and the mil lions who buy the products, a great variety of materials, skills, services and sciences are needed. This has created a chain of employment for millions of people-including the tax collectors, who take almost $3 billion yearly in direct excise taxes. The story of tobacco employment begins with the 750,000 farm families who grow tobacco in 21 states. For many, tobacco is a way of life. For most, tobacco is the major cash crop, bringing farmers over $1 billion last year. Even on the farm, tobacco's dependence on other industries is easy to see. Take fertilizers: The annual tobacco crop requires one million tons a year-over $50 million worth. Acres of ex pensive cheesecloth are needed to provide shade for cigar wrapper leaf. When the farmer takes his crop to auction, it's his pay day. He1s in the market for supplies, equipment, household goods.

The colorful, noisy auctions take place in nearly 900 ware houses in 166 communities-producing jobs for truckers, handlers, auctioneers, and tobacco buyers. At auction, the leaf is piled on special wooden baskets, made by men in the wood industry. After the sale, an army of over 100,000 workers takes over to prepare the tobacco leaf for aging. Transportation, inspection, cleaning, drying, remoistening are required-all by trained people. Wooden hogsheads hold the tobacco during the aging process. Then the tobacco goes to about 700 factories in 32 states to be made into consumer products. But factory employment is only part of the manpower and skill required.
Cigarette packw operates cigarette packing mach.ine. The goods and services required by tobacco manufacturers cut across the industrial map of the nation. Factory workers build complex machinery and electronic devices; they convert milk 18
and starch into adhesive for cigarette paper; turn out huge quantities of cellophane for wrappers, and millions of packages and boxes, labels, and countless other items. All of these suppliers must call on their own suppliers. The flax straw used for cigarette paper was once considered useless. Now it's worth $22 million a year to flax farmers.

For the chemical industry, tobacco manufacturing is a most important client. Chemical firms provide flavorings, casein and starch for adhesives, and many other items. Forestry products also play a key part. Tobacco's annual needs: Over 60 million pounds of paper, 100 billion square feet of paperboard and 36 million pounds of cellophane. (To make 1,000 pounds of cellophane, 2,300 pounds of chemicals are needed.) J The American Forestry Association says, "It takes more forest land to grow the wood products needed annually in the manu I facture and marketing of cigarettes than it does agricultural land to produce the tobacco." 19

After tobacco products are manufactured, getting them to the consumer is a nationwide logistics marvel. Some 1.5 million re tail outlets, with millions of employees, are supplied-usually every day. Tobacco company salesmen and some 7,000 distribut ing firms use every form of commercial transportation to move the products. The booming vending industry also creates tobacco employ ment, among 5,000 vending companies. And over 300,000 stock holders of record get regular dividends from tobacco stocks. Even when the products are sold, the chain of economic ac tivity doesn't end. Match production is huge. And U. S. con sumers spend $70 million a year for lighters, all of which need fuel. Tobacco is vital to millions of workers in America. And part of their reward lies in knowing that tobacco products are ap preciated around the world. 21
