President Roosevelt's nghifdr* todiiy made law of theFTanhkgkH tobacco v in spection and grading bill, which re quired nearly seveh months of Con gressional consideration before en actment. Representative'- Flannagan-, (D. Va.), the spbhsdr, expressed belief the grading plan could be pat into effect on some auction 'tobacco mar kets this season. A $200,000 appropriation was in cluded in the third deficiency bill to met the cost of operation. "This bill, in my opinion, means more to the tobacco farmers than any other legislation ever enacted in their behalf," Representative Flannagan' said. "If sdSffdhflfered' by* competent, honest graders the snutll tobacco farmers ~ will for the 'first time in their lived, get air honest and square deal on the warehouse floors." Before- compulsory grading can [ become operative' on any market [ two-thirds -of the sellers must ap prove it in a referendum. If the j producers favor the1 plan, 30 days must elapse before - government grading becomes effective. The big tobacco markets of North Carolina and Virginia 1 were sched uled t&o open shortly and Flannagan indicated the Department of Agri culture would be asked to speed plans for referendum*. ? ? ?j ?-- .J me new law wouiu u? ui jnu ticular importance to these tobacco growing1 states as well as other large tobacco producing states such as Georgia, Tennessee and Ken tucky. - Considerable opposition to the measure came from North Caro lina, splitting the House delegation from that State, while practically solid support came from Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. The House passed the bill only after lengthy and heated debate, but it rode through the Senate without a word said in opposition.

Grade A milk means that the I dairyman has conformed to all of Ithe requirements or has given as I surance that- he or the will conform to of the requirements of the Standard Milk Ordinance as far as health qualities df the milk and equipment to produce said Grade A milk is concerned. Grade 'B milk- as being enforced I by the'County Health Department in Fannviile-vicinity is thatrmilk which is Grade A in quality hut'where the producer does not have all of the (equipment required in the produc tion 6f Grade A. Both grades are under the strict supervision of both the - Farmville and County Health Departments!. In this particular town we are assured that milk label ed Grade B will be'just as wholesome as far as the bacterid Count is con cerned in conforming' to the Grade -- - - - ?? ' ? ? ,L. A specifications as uraae a mux ?. We feel' that it' is unfortunate that the different Grades of milk should be so -marked as to give the large producer an unfair advantage in that that they can afford the most mod ern equipment and in so doing stifle the dairy industry by preventing ownership of a few: cows and- produc tion of milk when a person might be exceptionally clean in their methods whereas the larger producer might be just the reverse in carrying out sanitary proceedure. * In other Words Grades A and Grades B of milk as being enforced by the County Health Department mean nothing to the General Public except that Grade A milk is produc ed by a dairyman who is financially ' able to equip his or her dairy With all the modern conveniences required by the U. S. Public Health SeTvidh. In actual fact Grade A and Grade 3 milk-are under the same supervision, and Grade B must conform to every essential required as regards its health qualities as Grade A. Farm ville citizens can rest assured of this since theh*milk -supply is under the direct supdhrision of their own Health Offieer who is acting under Instructions of the Mayor and Town Aldermen. The Town Officials have acted on the known facts that a local HealHr Officer is in a better position to know the kind of a product that is being offered to the public when produced locally than an inspector living several miles away such as one residing % another city la con cerned. If the public sit? idly /by and iwts the State Board of Health through its subsidiaries such as the County Boatf of Health assume all functions relating to the health of its own community, sooner latter the tenfadea of Bureaucratic central ized control will reach into the very homes of individuals whether it con cerns the health of endr'of us in dividual! y or collectively or not. feel that gre^tt gwcowm omtmF ing the incidence of disease and mor tality rates in this county could Be had if the County Health Depart ment -would really try to erradicate disease-carrying insects than By trying to carry cm a program which makes it illegal, for anybodiy to sell to their next* door neighbor a quart of milk even if that neighbor should go to them after it, adoption of the ot&naard Milk Urfli nance by Farmville and the County and literal- enforcemefit of all of Iti. provisions make, it illegal for a per son to sell any milk, or mUk product $[iced by a dairy which has beeh graded * hnde^the supervfom <tf the wunty Health Officer qf his inspec It remains to gen eraT public will accept this regula tion without protest as thft is evi dently t&f O^nifcn of the County Health Officer in the future.

Prices Range From 2c jtd 40c on First Sale; Market Swings Into Regular Smooth Rou tine on Tuesday i . With thousands of fanners and their families here to witness the opening1 activities, and tobacco roll ing into this market in record quan tities, Farmville shared the lime light with the other New Bright Belt markets on the opening, Monday, averaging $19.64 for 665,664 pounds, which brought growers $109,102.20. Bidding was spirited and greater strength was observed in the buying during the afternoon. ! Inferior grades, which were bllm ed on weather conditions, predomi nated, and a great change was noted in the price of these, which go large ly into the export trade. Prices for weed, deemed good enough for do mestic use, held up well when com pared with last year's figures, but lowered prices for domestic cigar ette tobaccos appeared general throughout the belt. Some farmers were apparently satisfied while others grumbled at the opening averages, which fell from 7c to 9c below those of last year, the 1934 opening figures for the market being 199,366 pounds, which sold at an average of $28.28, as against $19.64 Monday. Sales were lighter Tuesday, fol lowing a flooded market on Monday, and the block was fully cleared up, a total of 201,058 pounds being sold on the four warehouse floors here (for $39,484.88 at an average of $19.64, the identical average of Mon day's sale. A great quantity of in ferior grades also dominated the of ferings on this sale. The huge crowd of opening day was missing on the - floors and the market was able to swing into its regular routine of smooth action. Heavy rains in this section slowed the movement of tobacco on Wednes day but prices were some stronger on this market, Bell and Bobbitt, the first house reporting, giving an aver age of $21.44, and the total figures for the four houses being released [officially by Supervisor of Sales J. T. Bundy as 204,086 pounds, which brought $40,219.39, at an average of $19.71. Sales are medium heavy today, Thursday, the poundage being esti mated at 285,000 with a slight up ward trend noted in prices. With a new warehouse, Bell and Bobbitts', and a new firm, Ferrell and Webb, operating here this sea son, augmenting the tremendous business of Monk's and Knott's warehouses, Farmviflle expects lo sell far more tobacco than it has in [ any previous season. (hp Growers With j hold Low Grades J. C. Lanier Says Farm i er Loses'at Less than 6 1 Cent on the Pound j , j Greenviile, Aug. 28.?In a state ,ment issued today, J. C. Lanier, for jmerly tobacco specialist with the AAA, urged flue-cured tobacco growers not to sell any tobacco at ,a price of less than six cents per jpound. He stated that farmer ^having a poundage production in ,excess of his allotment 4 actually ;iose8 money whenever he sells to bacco at a price less than six cents ,per pound. In Mr. Lanier's opin ion, the marketing of this low grade ,tobacco also tends to depress the ;price of the better grades. Mr. La nier's statement follows: "With the 1985 Production or flue cured tobacco considerably in excess ol the allotment to-contract ing growers, it is to the interests of every tobacco grower not to sell the low) trashy grades which bring less than six cents per pound. : "Growers having excess pound age will be reqdired to pay foor cents per pound for additional al lotment cards. By adding to thib four cents the cost of grading, tying, handling and selling the to bacco, it can be readily seen that it costs the grower at least six cents per pound to sell tobacco in excess of his allotment. Growers who will have to purchase addi tional cards actually lose money Whenever they sell tobacco below s six cents average. "The sale of this low grade to bacco also tends to depress - the 'price of better tobacco. Ths. with holding of this nondescript, low grade tobacco from the market will help considerably in reducing the Wxplus production for this year ami will make for better prices." . ? '* ? ? .????
