Flue Growers Advised
Not To Used Maleic
Hydraulic Chemical

The Virginia Bright Flue- Cured
Tobacco Commission voted unani-
mously July 80 to advise Virginia
Tobacco growers against the use OF
Maleic Hydraulic on tobacco.
According to Chairman H. G Bla-
lock. of Baskerville, the action was
taken after domestic and export
buyers stated that the treatment of
the leaf with this chemical had an
adverse effect on its quality. THE
use OF Maleic Hydraulic can be
detected in the taste Of the finished
product said Chairman Blalock
Earlier this year the North Caro-
lima legislature attempted to pass
an amendment which would have
banned the use of the chemical on
tobacco in that State.
Mr.. Blalock further stated that
the action was taken in the in
terest of guaranteeing that growers
produce the highest quality e af.
possible. Quality is the most i'm
portant factor in holding our world
