BLEDSOE f AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION CHAIRMAN The purpose of stripping and sorting hurley tobacco is to bring together leaves of like group, color, and quality. The several groups have different physical and chemical pro perties and each makes a different contribution to the strength, taste, flavor, and aroma of smoke in the finished product. Proper stripping and sorting enables manufacturers and exporters to choose the type of tobacco they need for specific pur poses. Properly sorted tobacco leaf should always bring top prices. Tobacco that is poorly sorted and badly handled will linjJ^TT Coonry C.*umtr - v Stoax Bt° ko-,3/* friends and neighbors during their recent bereavement.

These con certs will be held at the Presbyterian Church, Burns ville at 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, November 18, a program of choir and instru ments from All Souls Church, Biltmore, will be presented with Marilyn Keiser, or ganist.

'Thursday, March 18, will -feature a piano recital by Marvin Blickenstaff, soloist and professor of music from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Mr. Blickenstaff has studied with Mme. Lili Kraus. Monday, May 3, is a chamber music concert for violin, cello, and harpsichord by May Jo Grey of Mars Hill College, and Eve Lynne Reeve, Celo Chamber Player of Burnsville. The season tickets at $6.00 can be used in any way, to attend each of these concerts or to take the whole family to bring high prices when burley is in short supply. This condition has existed for the past two or three years and prices have been at a premium. In 1974 the belt wide average price was about $27 per cwt. above the average support price. In many instances, all offerings on a warehouse floor sold for the same price and only a small percentage of the total crop was placed under go vernment loan. This situation has resulted from increased usage of burley tobacco along with relatively poor crops in the burley belt during the last several years. However, these conditions will not continue indefinitely and growers should not anticipate pre mium prices for poorly sorted, mixed, and contaminated tobacco. Stripping and preparing burley tobacco for market is the most time-consuming phase of production, requir ing up to one-fourth of the total labor expended. Because of the temporary reduction in price spread among grades and due to the scarcity and high cost of labor, many producers are tempted to cut comers in the stripping* Ind handling operation. Attention to a few simple but important details will enable the grower ■- to do a better job of stripping. It is easier to do a good job if workers have a comfortable grading room. Thir point becomes doubly important if women are hired for grading. With good quarters they are among the best of employees for this job and, over the whole burley belt, they strip a large percentage of the crop. A grading room should be large enough and should have some provision for heating. Good lighting is essential for proper sorting. Use" one concerts The season ticket also entitles the holder to attend the North Carolina Little Symphony Concert on Tuesday, May 18, at 8:15 p.m. in the First Baptist Church, Burnsville. Entrance at the door will be $1.50, except for the Symphony which is $2.50. Also included in the Mayland Concert Series are two Family Musicales (no charge) featuring local musi cians.

As a minimum for each worker, use a unit containing two 40-watt deluxe cool white tubes or one containing one 40-watt cool white tube and one 40-watt daylight tube. In the absence of electricity, utilize plenty of window space. Windows should extend the length of the stripping bench. North lighting is considered best. The crop should be fully cured and in keeping order before stripping. The top leaves should break clean from the stalk. Do not grade tobacco in excessively high case as it may heat when packed down. Also, the strings and slivers hanging from the butts of the hands will alert the federal grader that it was stripped when too heavy and he may include a "W” (Wet) in the grade. Avoid packing cured tobacco on the ground. Producers tend to forget the importance of support prices. It is the amount the grower receives when his crop goes under loan and it is the starting point above which bids must begin at sales. Support prices are based on grades; a well sorted and attractively displayed crop will receive a higher federal grade than one that is poorly sorted and crudely handled. Wet, unsound, frozen, or nested tobacco will not merit price support. l-e*ves are stripped from the bottom to the top of the stalk and occur on the stalk in a certain order or group. Flyings are at the bottom, lugs next, leaf at and above the mid-point of the stalk, and tips at the top. Growers who sort tobacco according to the groups should consistently expect top prices for the respective grades. • v
