Preparation Important In Marketing Untied Tobacco North Carolina flue-cured tobacco farmers will have the opportunity to sell tobacco In loose leaf form again this year. S. N. Hawks, extension to bacco specialist at North Carolina State University, ex plains that growers will be allowed to sell untied tobacco1 the first 12 sales days after' markets open. Price supports for untied to bacco will be $3 per hundred pounds less than for the same grade In tied form.' In order for loose leaf to bacco to sell for the top dollar, the specialist points out that It must be properly prepared for market. Tobacco company officials have specified that loose leaf tobacco be laid straight with all butts placed In the same direction. It should be mar keted In the proper keeping order, free of sand, thread and other foreign matter, and pro perly sorted. Baskets must weigh 200 pounds or less. Extension tobacco special ists at N. C. State University make several suggestions for preparing and marketing loose leaf tobacco. They suggest working and maintaining untied tobacco In a drier condition than tied tobacco. As an example, the moisture of lugs should be at the stage Just before shatter ing would normally occur. If tobacco Is not uniform, It should be sorted Into several different grades. It should then be packed on burlap sheets for hauling to market. Sheets at least 96 by 96 Inches are pre ferable. Smaller sheets are difficult to tie and may not cover the tobacco sufficiently to hold It In place, keep It from drying and protect It from shattering. The pile can be started by placing a double "cap" on the burlap sheet. This cap will be the top of the pile when placed on the basket. Then the leaves should be placed on the sheet In a cir cular manner with the butts out. Plies should be about 44 Inches In diameter, depending on the length of the tobacco. Most market baskets are about 40 laches In diameter. After the pile has been com pleted, a second burlap sheet should be spread over the top. It should be large enough so the entire pile Is covered with burlap to help hold the leaves In place and to prevent drying and shattering. The corners of the bottom sheet are brought up over the pile and the oppo site corners are tied. Piles should be kept straight and even A small armful placed on the pile each time usually has better results than a small handful placed at one time. ? After layers have been placed In a circle forming the pile, a small armful of tobacco should be placed In the center of the pile to serve asa"tte." This will help prevent the pile from falling ajart when It Is handled. When short tobacco Is piled, It is suggested that a double layer of leaves be used as a tie. At the warehouse, the to bacco can be placed on a basket by removing the top sheet and then Inverting the pile onto the basket. After the tobacco is weighed and placed in the row tor sale, It should be covered with burlap or plastic to prevent drying or absorbing excessive moisture. Few young men realize what they are doing when a sweet young thing murmurs the magical word, "Yes." The man who makes It a habit to read the Bible does n't have to apologize to some saphead who does otherwise. Free speech, according to the Supreme Court, does not give a man a right to yell, "Fire," In a crowded theatre.
