Mew Leaf Weighing Rules Effective Raleigh. Auk. 5.?As North Car olina Bo'dcr Belt Ic-iit miirts open ed Thursday, tobacco warehousemen, deal erst and growers were warned by C. D. Baucom, superintendent < the Weights ;i d Measures division of the N. C. Agri-.ulture Department, that '"important changes" have been effected regarding the handling of tobacco to be fold on North Carolina markets this season. Baucom declared that Weight tol erances have been sharply limited and weighing practice regulations have been made more definitive. Pointing out that "tolerance is the difference between perfection and prosecution and is tlie range in which the Inspector may use his own dis crctic." Baucom declared that "in some few instances" soli- itor.v for tobacco warehouses in the past have taken advantage of these tolerances in various and sundry ways, some times passing them along to certain gi< wcrs in return for their business, ftc said thai these tolenrees could an ounl to as much as ST."'!) f"r each 200-pound basket of tobacco. They have been curtailed so as to prolec* 'lu nest warehousemen who are en deavoring to be fair with the scilct and buyer." Effective l?ast Thursday. These new regulations and amend ments to old regulnthcs. adontcd at the recent meeting of the State Board of Agriculture, wont into ef fect with the opening of the market' on Thursday. ? The most important change, Bau ? "in s;ii(l. relates us ti> the time to bacco is offered for solo. Iloreto j fore, lie explained. tobacco has not boon regarded a icing aclunlly of fered for sale until the auolin oor began liis ohanl < ver the |?ilo of tobacco. Under the new regulation, tobacco is offc red for sale when i! j is placed on the line. "Farmers don't put their tobacco in the row for exhibit pur pores," said Bnitcom. Another altered regulatim fixe the average weight of the basket on which the tobacco is pit-red for sale Biiucom stiid that prior to this sea son. it was too often the ease that one basket was weighed and tli? "average" weight of all baskets was assumed therefrom. If Ibis avenge was light it w.i neeessary for the fanner lo nloee extra amounts of to I baeco on tiie basket to conic tip to this "average".

Also, an amended regulation re- I quires that "as lout: as the even pound system is employed in caleu- | luting tobacco weights, the nearest even pound in the scale dial ot ' beam must be used." In commenting on this. Itaueom declared I h it t herctelore tobacco i weighing i!!' pounds and two ounces, for instance, eoubl he declared to j weigh only Kit pot > ds. Under the j amended regulation, it would weigh SMI pounds, no more and no Ins: . Another change lias to do Willi the variation in weight of tobacco due to atmospheric ? onditiiuis oceurr ? i ' alter it lias been weighed by tin weigldmaster and placed on the lb or Mcginning Ibis season, irgulaliii require that "any variation doe ti . such conditions must be determined , by the fart in each ease and in in [ ease ? ball an allnwi? ee P r soeb . variation exceed two per cent."
