cloth. The sewing machines,
under the supervision of just

spools. Several spools are
filled before they are removed
to the regular type curing bar
ns. Tobacco processed by
the harvester can be hung in
barns also containing tobacco
"looped" by hand.

equal to 22 sticks of tobacco.
The machine can be operated
by four persons and Mr. Clark
says a barn of tobacco can be
put in for about 925.
