farmer who raises a superior crop
of lne cured tobacco Horn having
the same opportunity as always
of getting a better price than
paid for an inferior crop, Theo
dore S. Johnson, disriet director
of the Office of Price Administra
tion, pointed out today.
The ceilings set by OPA fol
low traditional practices of the
trade, he said, and represent a
season average paid by buyers.
There are no maximum for indi

g overboard to hay a choice hit
of tobacco but must buy an e

country, to be nuti'tionally
strong.
