OF tobacco in the system OF grad
ing adopted by the Burley Tobac
CO Growers Cooperative Asso-
cation. !. Leslie Knight said yes
tcrday that all the 3 grade,
woull not be found in every
crop.
Il have been asked" said Mr..
Knight. by Il number OF farmers
II there were 3 grades in their
crops. My reply j. absolutely
not. This number oi grades has
been established To take care Of
crops. The number of grades IL
the system adopted BY thc ASST
alton will TAX care OF all tobac-
60 crop, grown in kcitucky, Ohio
and Indiana.
III possible. growers should
keep their long and short grade,
separate. - they will possibly
grade different and it will bc
more satisfactory to all to keep
them separate.

! istering their crops and cooper
ating with the plans made to han
die the tobacco. I'VE would lik,
