een sharply limited and weighing practice regulations Pointing out that "tolerance is the difference but wet per prosecution sad is the range in which the inspector may one his own dis cretion," Baucom declared that "in some fe? instances" solicitors for to bacco warehouses in the post takdh advantage of these in various and sundry ways, times passing them akng to certain growers in return for their He raid that these tolerances could amount to as much as I2.B0 for each 200-pound basket of tobacco. They have been curtailed so as to protect "honest warehousemen who are en deavoring to be fair with the seller and buyer." These new regulations and amend ments to old regulations, adopted at the recent* meeting, of the State Board of Agriculture, went into ef fect with the opening at the Border Belt Markets on Aug. 1. The most important change, Bau com said, relates as to the time to bacco is offered for sale. Hereto fore, he explained, tobacco .has not been regarded aa being actually of-' fered for sale until the auctioneer began crying for bids. A court so found last senary, and alleged weight violations did not apply until the auctioneer began his chant over the pile of tobacco. Under the new reg ulation, tobacco is offered for sale when it is placed on the line. "Farmers dont put their tobacco in the row for exhibit purposes," said Baucom. Another altered regulation fixes the average weight of the basket on which the tobacco is placed for sale. Baucom feaid that prior to this sea son, it was too often the case that one basket was weighed and the "avenge" weight of all baskets was assumed therefrom. If this average was light, it was necessary for the farmer to place extra amounts of to bacco to come up to this "avenge." With the new rale, the average weight must be derived by weighing 1(W baskets and obtaining the ave rage for these baskets. Any baskets which vary more than one pound from the average must be removed from the premises or destroyed by a the scale ?eight must be used in (he tart been , of the an smarted regulation re quires that "as law m the lnUng tobacco en pound on the scale dial fe* beam must be used." In commenting on this, for iMUfuee, could be declared to wrtgh only 88 pounds. Under the amended regulation, It would 90 pounds. Another change has to do with the variation in weight of tobacco due to atmospheric conditions occurring after it has been' pieced on the floor. Beginning this season, regulations require that any variation such conditions must he determined by the facts in each case and in ?no case shall 'an allowance for such variation exceed two per cent The new regulations make it un lawful for any weighmaster, firm, or corporation to take advantage of any variations permitted in setting the tare beam or in calculating tare in wdehinsr tobacco. "These regulations do not in any way relieve the custodian of the to bacco of his responsibility or his liability. To Promote Demand For Tobacco Products The independent tcbaceo proces sors have been responsible in - the past for most of the export trade of North Carolina tobaccos. Exports be fore the war averaged more than 50 per cent of the State's production. However, at the present time exports are at a low level. Thd fight to re gain our foreign markets qriU re quire the efforts of all the industry. World supply, world demand, and the world markets play an important part in. international trade. It will be the aim of the N. C. To bacco Advisory Council to foster and promote the means foi? regaining and expanding our export trade.. Burley tobacco in the past has not figured very important in the export field, but during the last four years our blended cigarettes have been "making Tiabit" at the greatest rate in history?hi the countries abroad visited by our boys, and it is expected that in the postwar world burley to bacco will take its place in t^e ex wm WD TIiii<rjnV H T?

This trend has continued steady and even stronger in the first six months of 1946, with a total of 96 out of 181, or approxi mately 53 per eent. Textile mill pro ducts, with an approximate 39 per eent, and apparel and other finish ed products, with an approximate 16 per cant, second and fourth lively in the new comparison scale, seemed fertain to establish, with the new textile industries figures, even more firmly by year's end North Carolina's position as the leading textile manufacturing state of the Continuing, too, the state's record as the leader hi ftarniture and fln iahed lumber products, new indus tries in those categories were 16 p< cent of the total. Surprising, and' heartening to state leaden, was .the, 8 per cent shown in food and kindred products in a state which raises much but has processed little food commodities. And the 6 per cent attributed to miscellaneous indicates that the recent efforts of the State Planning Board and other agenefc toward the development of original |naw industries using North Carolina commodities is taking effect This latter trend is shown even at once.
