The following paragraphs are taken
from a circular letter sent to the press
by Selmer Neprud of the Pool publicity
department:
''The State Pool Directors are laying
their plans with the intention Of pack
ing the entire tobacco crop, II
this should become necessary. 1t Is
not the intention of the Pool, however,
to pack all the tobacco if it can be sold
to advantage in the bundle. On the
other hand, the Pool does not want to
be placed in position so that they will
have to sell.
''Within few days letters will be
sent to every member of the Pool, re-
questing them to bundle their tobacco
in a uniform manner. The intention is
to simplify grading, avoid loss, and to
make it more easily and cheaply han
