Grading Tobacco
Indications point to a wider vari
ation in prices paid this year for
various grades of tobacco. . This
means that -the growers who do a
good job of sorting and grading
their tobacco will probably receive
more money for their crop.
In recent years toere has been
very little difference in prices' paid
for the various grades. This elimin
ated the necessity for doing care
ful grading. Now that the trend has
turned in the other direction,, to
bacco growers will no doubt find
it profitable to pay careful atten
tion and see that their tobacco Is
properly graded before it is offer
ed tor sale. ' s
