Co. Tobacco Plans were under way for the Federal Government to buy Lan- caster county's unsold 1950 tobacco crops, The Lancaster office of the Pro- duction and Marketing Administra- tion is mailing letters to 5466 to- bacco growers telling them the Commodity Credit Corp. has named the Lancaster County Tobacco Growers’ Cooperative as its agent to buy tobacco. The federal plan, scheduled to start operating Feb. 27, calls for a payment of 13 cents a pound for farm fillers and up to 35 cents for top quality wrappers. It will be the first time that the federal government has taken a portion of the tobacco crop to sup- port prices, Late last year, tobacco fanmers rejected a price support program for the 1951-52 and 1953 crops. It is estimated that the tokacco concerns purchased about 30 per cent of the 1950 crop and then hal- ted its buyers. Federal men will grade the to- bacco in the warehouse. There will be a service charge of half a cent a pound for administration costs and a $10 membership fee in the Co-op. Crop deliveries to the Co-op will be packed and sold. If the crops are sold at less than paid the far- mer, the Credit Corporation will absorb the loss. If the crops sell at a price higher than that paid the farmers then the surplus money will be given to the grower.
