Varieties Announce ate also applies to mistures or strains of these varieties. The tolT'co trade put these var ieties on the black list txcause in 1!."7 scientists classified these var ieties as being low in flavor and aroma, being objectionaly light bodied and enjoying poor accep tance with the trade. As a result the Secretary' of Agriculture an nounced that these varieties of flue cured tobacco would be supported at only '2 the support rate of com parable grade of other varieties. In order to help carry out the to bacco discount program each farm operator will be asked to certify whether any discount variety toba cco is bing planted on his farm or any farm operated by him. This will be done when his tobacco is measured. This is a voluntary program which has been requested by the majority of the tobacco farmers. The program was initiated in order to protect and maintain markets for our all important Flue-Cured tobacco crop. Farmers should keep in mind the fact that this program is intended to benefit them-that it does benfit them-and they are hurt ing themselves if they 'do not plant recommended varieties. - j--?;;v.r,-- rv 1 -it' '''VWcV-'v-' ' - nrvr a.
