We had just become comfor-

We were nearing the field. We
fastened our seat belts and
watched the lights of Paris BEAM
ing family through the night. We
landed smoothly. When the doors
opened a courteous Frenchman
greeted us in English and French
and led us to the entrance desk
and customs.
Inside the customs officers
merely nodded toward the lug
gage. spoke to us and directed
us tohave our passports stamped.
A muStached man careleSSly
opened the passport and stamped
it on the wrong page. took it
back and he jokingly said that
he would stamp it anywhere Ide-
sired.
In our haste we had failed to
make hotel res ervati onS, but a
pleasant travel repres entative at
the service desk informed us Of
vacancies and rates. She tele-
phoned and eserved a suite for
us at the Hotel Lord Byron. She
said that a taxi would be difficult
to get because of the holiday
spirit. AS We turned to sit and
wait for one, a young man who
had been on the plane offered to
drive us to the city.

potential customers for American
tobacco in the world markets.
Experience has shown that NH
80 has many advantages for the
farmers in respect to increased
production and larger profits. In
addition to eliminating a great
deal of labor involved in suckering
tobacco, the use of MH-30 increas-
es the yield of tobacco from 100 to
800 pounds per acre.
With individual farm allotments
as small as they are, this is most
important factor to the farmers.
l am hopeful that the Depart
ment of Agriculture will see to it
that all tobacco growers get full
information about the effects of
MH-30 on tobacco.
Once farmers have full infornla
ton about the effects of MH-30 on
tobacco, they can weigh these
against the immediate advantages
MH-30 brings in terms of increased
production and higher profits.
In considering all this, am sure
that farmers will remember the
years when the government had to
give loans on large quantities of
undesirable varieties of tobacco.
Even today, the Tobacco Stabiliza-
ton Corporation is holding about
225 million pounds of undesirable
tobacco and the entire to-
bacco program. At the time, a
great many farmers thought it was
to their advantage to produce the
varieties of tobacco that later turn
ed out not only undesirable but for
all practical purposes unstable.
There are many indications that
tobacco farmers must again make
some decisions with respect to NH
80 that will have far-reaching eff
fects on the future Of tobacco.

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON - The report
Issued last week concerning the
study of MH-30 made by scientists
in the Department of Agriculture
poses some very serious problems
for tobacco grwers.
For some time there has been
considerable controversy over the
use of MH-30 on tobacco to control
suckers. Last year, the House Com
mittee on Agriculture directed the
Agricultural Research Service of
USDA to conduct a study of the
effects of MH-30 on tobacco. 1t
was released last week and 1t
should be considered very carefully
by farmers and others interested
in the future Of all segments of the
tobacco industry.
Officials in the Department of
Agriculture have concluded that the
effects of MH-30 on the quality of
tobacco Suggest severe economic
repercussions.
The study pointed out that the
effects on MH-3O threaten to Sub
stantiahy reduce the sale of U. S.
leaf"
According to the findings, "the
inability of the leaf buyer to recog-
nize tobacco treated with maleic
hydraulic (MH-30) when making
his purchase is a deterrent to buy
ing U. S. leaf"
For some time many tobacco ex-
perts have contended that use of
MH-3O is causing US to lose many
