GOVERNMENT WILL [STABLISH
TOBACCO STANDARDS
In order to assist in placing the m-tr
keting of t. bacco upon a more busi
ness-like basis, the United States De
partment of Agriculture is about to
begin investigations which will lead
to the establbshing of tobacco grades
applicable throughout the entire in
dustry tobacco ranks fourth among
the crops of the United States, re
turns more than $1,000,000,000 a year
in agricultural wealth to the Nation,
and more than $300,000,000 in annual
revenue to the Government, it is mar
keted in a manner which producers of
less important crops woull regard as
a short cut to financial ruin.
Sold Privately by Some
For this condition, the specialists of
the Bureau of Markets, Department
of Agriculture, blame primarily the
auction system of sales in certain sec
tions and the private contract system
in other localities. Under the form
er method loose piles of tobacco to be
sold are placed on the floor of a ware
house and examined by the prospective
buyers. The tobacco is not graded,
nor does the owner have much oppor
tunity to describe the merits of his
product. The auctioneer then offers
the tobacco for sale and the buyers
are practically in a position to obtain
the tobacco for any price they c-oo:;
to pay. In the latter case the tobacco

is sohl privately by growers, who us
ually have an indefinite idea of mar
ket prices, to buyers who are fully in
formed. The sales frequently are
made on the farm and confirmed by
contracts that are more binding on the
seller than on the buyer. The sale
often is made before the tobacco is
harvested. At the time of the transac
tion the tobacco may be so far from
being in a marketable condition that
even the buyer is unable to determine
its value, in which case the farmer
usually gets what the uuyer estimates
to be a safe price or chooses to offer.
In a bulletin published by the Mas
sachusetts Experiment Station it is
stated that "under the contract method
of sale the farmer has al Ito lose, w.th
no corresponding gain; the buyer, lit
tie or nothing." The same statement
would apply equally as well to the
"auction system," department special
ists say.
No Basis for Valuation
Because of lack of grades, the to
bacco producer is unable to determine
if he is receiving a reasonable price
for his product. There is no basis for
comparison between the prices paid
paid in one community and those
paid elsewhere. Quotations of one
market usually mean little in other
markets, for they are not based upon
recognized standards of quality.
In October the Bu3-eau of Markets,
United States Department of Agri
culture, held hearings in a number of
cities for the purpose of discussing
with tobacco growers, merchants,
dealers, bankers, warehousemen, and
others interested in the industry ten
tative regulations for warehousing
tobacco under the provisions of the
United States Warehouse Act. These
hearings were attended by members
of the trade who were representative
of the tobacco industry generally and
considerable interest was shown in the
bureau's work. At first there was an
attitud- of skepticism regarding the
benefits to be derived from the ware
housing of tobacco under the provis
ions of the warehouse act. Doubt was
expressed that the bureau would be
able to devise satisfactory tobacco
standards, but in every instance be
fore the end of the hearing the bu
reau's intention to take immediate ac
tion in carrying out its plans to place
the marketing of tobacco upon a sound
basis was approved.
l'rovides for Financing
Under the provisions of the United
States Warehouse Act, the Secretary
of Agriculture is authorized to license
warehouses for the storage of cotton,
grain, flaxseed, wool, and tobacco. The
chief purpose of the act, with respect
to tobacco, is to establishe a system
of warehotres in which tobacco may
be safely stored and through which
the industry can more easily be finan
ced and tobacco more advantageously
marketed. To accomplish this pur
pose, the act is designed to provide a
form. of wnrohouse receipt which will

Thedford's Black-Draught Highly

Liver.
East Nashville, Tenn.- The ef fo,
fency of Thedford's Black-Draught, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, Is
vouched for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a
grocer of this city. "It is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and I
don't believe I could get along without
It. I take it for sour stomach, head.
ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result of
a torpid liver.
"I have known and used it for years,
and can and do highly recommend it
to every one. I won't go to bed with
out it in the house. It will do all it
claims to do. I can't say enough fov
it.",
Many other men and women through.
out the country have found Black.
Draught just as Mr Parsons describes
-valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and In cleansing
the bowels of impurities.
Thedford's Black-Draught liver medi.

the tobacco stored therein may be
licensed. The regula;ons under the
act plovidie for iispection of the pre
mises at irregular intervals, exam

and observance by the warehouseman
of standards of business practice.
Since the passage of the act, more
than :300 applications for warehouse
licenses have been received by the Bu
reau of Markets, the majority of then
during the last year. Producers and
warehousemen now appear to appre
ciate the benefits to be derived from
the warehouse act. The bureau's re
