Classification Of New
Low-Nicotine Content
Tobacco Announced
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture has announced its intention to
establish a new type for low-nicotine
content air-cured tobacco to. be
known as Type Sl-V. Cured tobacco
included in the new type cannot con
tain more than eight-tenths of one
per cent nicotine, oven dry weight,
and shall have the general visual
characteristics of quality, color, and
length of hurley tobacco (type SI).
The classification of the low-nicotine
tobacco into Type 81-V shall be sub
ject to such restrictions or controls
as inky be specified by the Director,
Tobacco Branch, PMA.
The low-nicotine content tobacco
was developed by the Kentucky Ag
ricultural Experiment Station and is
a new variety or strain of tobacco
which has resulted from 12 years of
exerimentation and cross-breeding
hurley with a cigar leaf variety of
tobaccp originally brought from Ger
many in 1933. Although this new
strain is similar to buriey in all vis
ual characteristics it has a distinctive
flavor and aroma which is quite dif
ferent from that of buriey tobacco.
The average nicottoe content of this
new strain is more in the order of
three tenths of one per cent instead
of the maximum of eight tenths of
one per cant to be specified as a
prerequisite to its classification as
Type 31-V.
I do fairly well in'handling my
personal affairs, except when world
tidal waves upset my plans.
If it weren't for paying taxes, many
of us- could pay our bills an time.
