Farmers Affected By Tire Quota Cut Drastic reduction in heavy-dut-y tire quotas for the three months ending September 30 will affect many farmers since agricultural tire replace needs for heavy-dut- y FEEDS ; x f . ments are not included on the No. 1 priority list. Tires for hauling perishable fruits and vegetables are given an A-- 2 priority, but with the over-a- ll quota out from an estimated requirement of 495,000 to between 190,000 to 230,000, it is anticipated that the No. 1 group will absorb the greater share of the supply. Heavy-dut- y tires are urgently needed by the armed forces, and their requirements must be met Smaller-size- d tire supplies are reported to be adequate for essential civilian needs.
