TOBACCOSALES FOUND ACCURATE Raleigh Tobacco sales of North Carolina warehousemen are now in almost perfect condi tion. Thtft is the finding of C. D. Baucum, chief of the State De peartmdnt of Agriculture’s weights and measures division, whose staff has just completed a check of all tobacco sales in the Eorder belt. “Typical of the findings of in spectors is the case of warehouses in one large market where 4,- 387,356 pounds of leaf were sold through the week ending August 11, representing approximately 53,000 baskets with a total error in weight of only 86 pounds above the tolerance being found,” Bau cum said. “This condition re Colonial Treatment \ ___ I . : • Viij PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N.

I BOTTLING WORKS I fleets credit to the warehouse op erators and gives the farmers as surance that they are getting paid pound-for-pound lor the tobacco they sell. Then too, the ware housemen seem to appreciate the effort of the Department to aid them in securing accurate weighing equipment.” Baucom explained that for the first time in the history of the state, public weighers—including warehousemen and ginners—are being licensed under the North Carolina Weighmasters Act en acted by the 1939 General Assem bly. Under the provisions of the act, weighers are required to certify all commodities they weigh as to corectness of weight. Meanwhile, the weights and measures chief said that tobacco scales in the New Bright tobac co belt are now being checked.
