WH-30 has been tested for over a dozen years and used ln the flue-cured areas for the past 5 years, in the burley belt for over 3 years and on cigar tobacco for 3 years. With efficient labor increasingly hard to find and costly, the farmer must rely on chemical control of Plant disease, pests and weeds more than ever before.

Several farmers reported that the buyer did not even ask how the suckers were removed from the crop. <While the buying companies insist that they will not knowingly buy treated tobacco, they readily admit that treated tobacco, in many instances, does not show adverse physical effects that can be detected on the auction floor. Tobacco bought on the auction floor is one thing, but the Lancaster county tobacco market is another. In many cases the buyers were on the farms during the growing season, and still no premium was paid for the hand suckered crop. If the tobacco companies intend to discriminate against the chemically treated tobacco, they made a poor start last season. There will be many more farmers willing to test them out again this year. At least that's how it looks from where we stand. MH-30 is such a chemical. On the average it eliminates 30 costly man-hours of back-breaking hand-suckering per acre. It is very common for a single acre of tobacco to be attacked by'as many as 125,000 suckers. We believe anyone who insists on pulling them, by hand is fighting progress. With unseasonable weather delaying the crops in Lancaster County, MH-30 should be of extra benefit this season. This chemical control frees the farmer from hand-suckering and allows him necessary time to catch up with his corn cultivation, haying and other chores. THIS IS THE CHEMICAL AGE ON THE FARM.

Milk Hearing • Is Postponed Until October The joint public hearing to consider amending fluid milk prices in -Northeastern mar kets has been rescheduled to open Oct 3 in New York City, instead of Aug as previously announced Postponement of the hear ing to the October date is at the request of industry rep resentatives in the several markets Subjects of the hearing will be Class I (fluid) milk prices under the Federal or ders regulating milk hand ling in Pennsylvania .and nearby marketing areas This hearing will give fur ther consideration to propos als to amend the Class I prices that were presented at public hearings last year. Following these earlier hearings, USDA issued “rec ommended decisions’ on the proposals and invited indus try exceptions. The USDA’s first announce ment (June 29, 1960) of the joint public hearing explain ed the need for relating Class I milk prices • among the various Federal orders in the Northeast, and establish ing an appropriate relation ship to the level of midwest manufacturing milk prices. The date for submitting additional proposals to be brought before the joint hearing also was extended. Interested parties now will have until Sept. 7, 1960, to submit proposals. The market administrators for each of the orders con cerned have advised interest ed parties as to the manner in which proposals should be submitted. When you try to carry through a deal yourself, such as the disposal of an old dav enport or a television areial, you realize why the cost of salesmanship must be includ ed in the price of everything you buy.
