$33,oOO, 600 Estate
Proves Americans
Still Consume Snuff
BY III. A..oe;o,sd Pres.

NEW YORK.-When Mrs. Hen
rietta Garrett died recently In Phila-
delphia, she left a $33, ,0oo. 900 estate,
all of 1t accumulated in the manu-
factlre Of snuff.
Snuff, evidently. is nothing to be
sneezed at. It Is, in fact, a multi
million dollar industry. About 40,-
oo0,000 pounds a year is purchased,
frequently in highly unusual con-
tainers, by some 8, ,000, 900 Americans.
Pipe, cigar and cigarette devotees
often suffer from the delusion that
snuff users Whit a bit of the powder
and then f1irt around with hand
kerchief until the episode is term
mated by a gigantic sneeze.
That Is an 18th century European
technique which Americans have
never adopted. Our 5000 900 almost
without exception either chew or
"dip" snuff.
Packed In "Weasands."
r In q world eager for change, snuff
seems to be an exception.
For years manufacturers have beer
packing large lots in containers madc
from cured throat membrane o,
cattle, called "weasands."
The snuff trade buys by the gross
because there exists an ancient and
widespread belief that such contain
ers enhance the flavor and quality of
snuff. The manufacturers don't
comment on this. They also put out
snuff in paper, tin and glass con-
teiners-but most haven't changed
their labels since the 1870s.
There are almost as many types OF
snuff as there are of cigars. These
have interesting and tradition laden
names, including Scotch, Irish,
Welsh. Swedish, French maccouba,
Copenhagen and Rappee.
Manufacturers talk and treat their
formulae and products as wine pro-
ducers treat their vintages-with
secrecy and loving care. They fuss
constantly over the flavoring and the
aging.
II Once Had Wider Vogue.
The dark-f1red tobacco ground Tor
snuff is highly cured and repeatedly
fermented until most of the nicotine
has been worked out. Then it is
favored with such agents as salt,
sugar, cinnamon, cloves, cassia, tom
ka beans, altar Of roses, winter
green and mint. Some super types
have sold for as much as $25 an
ounce, but they were specially pre-
pared for an Indian mahara jah who
insisted it be packed in gold foil.
Snuff is quiet sort of pastime
now, compared with its 18th century
heyday when just about everybody
who was anybody in Europe shifted
it-kings, queens, warriors and cour-
tiers, Napoleon and Marie Antoi-
nette, Queen Charlotte, wife of
George III, took it in such prodigious
quantities she was nicknamed "Old
Snuffy" by her disrespectful court.

Mr.. Anderson said the emphasis

more land in pastures and hay and

Requirements Listed.
Mr. Anderson listed these require
ments as essential for carrying out
what he called a policy of organ
lied plenty"
"1. We need to keep our agri-
culture geared to developments in
other segments of the economy to
the end that a high level Of income
and employment is maintained.
"2. We shall need programs to
help maintain stability Of prices fair
to both producers and consumers. -
This should include a system of
price minimums for farm commodi-
ties and modernization of parity
formula under which farm prices
are calculated.
"3. An overall land program to
make sure we can serve and i'm
prove our agricultural resources. -
a. Increased medical services,
education, housing and increase Of
small industries in rural areas.
IS. An intensified program OF
gathering and applying scientific
knowledge in all fields Of agrictll-
ture. tf2
IS. We need floor under con-
sumption of farm products. -"
We need to have surplus distribu-
ton program or perhaps some sort
of food allotment program available
at all times"
~. normal granary storage
loans and marketing agreements
which foster orderly marketing"
Mr.. Anderson declared that Amer
lean agriculture could achieve "a
further cushioning effect through
international trade agreements
which provide for storage stocks and
sales of excess supplies to needy
countries at special prices" Such a
program has been proposed by the
United Nations Food and Agricul-
ture Organization.
Mr.. Anderson said that by totaling
up the needs of American consum-
ers, adding in conservative amounts
for exports, imports and industrial
uses, and allowing for good yields,
the following picture Is given: I'VE
would need more than 100000, 900
acres for crops, orchards, rotation

No Objection to Amendment.
On the oil issue, Senator Venden-
berg said yesterday that while he
does not believe the legislation can
be interpreted as affecting these
agreements, he has no objection te
an amendment offered by Senator
johnson, Democrat, Of Colorado.
IT don't see any harm in it.
Senator Vandenberg said. THE bill
has no implications in that direction
and I won't oppose its being at
tached"
Senator Johnson charged in the
Senate last week that the State
Department has served as "chore
boy for major American oil COM
panies in winning access to the
Middle East's rich petroleum re-
serves. He demanded that no such
activities be carried on in connec-
ton with the program of bulwark-
ing Greece and Turkey against
Communism.
Senator Johnson's amendment
would specify that nothing in this
act shall be construed to imply that
the Government of the United
States shall be bound to support
private agreements made between
American oil companies and foreign
governments or between American
oil companies and nationals of
foreign governments"
Senator Vandenberg said he will
oppose all other pending amend
ments to the aid program.
In a radio discussion of the bill
yesterday with three Republican
Senators, Senator johnson called it
"our Intervention in Turkey" He
said it is an attempt to bolster
Turkey against efforts to end ''the
Dardanelles controversy" He spoke
OF 1t as an "unfriendly challenge
and said he does not know how
Russia will deal with it.
Senator Smith, Republican, OF
New Jersey. said I'VE are simply
giving stop, look and listen signal
to Russia" From the time the
United Nations began to organize

Senator Saltonstall, Republican
Of Massachusetts,, said he believe.
there would be less chance ol
another world war by making tht
loans than by a do-nothing policy
toward Greece and Turkey in thi.
difficult period"
Senator Brewster. Republican, O
