PROPER GRADING
Will Bring Top Tobac-
co Prices.


Kentucky farmers can do much
% obtain better prices for their to-
bacco by careful attention to the
stripping and grading Of their crops,
tobacco specialists VINO have made a
study u the various markets say.
Many growers who have practiced
careful grading have realized as much
a. two and one-half cents above the
seasons average price while condi-
ton. in all tobacco growing sections
Of the State indicate that this prac-
tice could be followed profitably by
growers. Spectators also have
demonstrated the increase profits to
be gained by grading. many Of them
having realized substantial gains by
buying poorly graded leaf and resell
ing IL after IL had been properly
sorted
Grading will not improve the
quality % leaf one has TO sell but Il
will enable the farmer to make the
most Of what he has whereas indif-
ferent or no grading at all reduces
the price received on the entire lot.
Thi. is true since buyers are COM
PEELED to bad low enough to insure
themselves against the risk Of buying
low quality or worthless product.
In buying any product the purchas-
or prefers well graded lots rather
than those which are mixed This
is especially true In tobacco. the
specialists say.
