Homogenized
Tobacco Leaf
Cains Ground
Manufactured binder leaf,
Vhere “dough” from pulverized
tobacco is mixed with liquid cel
lulose ajid rolled into sheets, is
promising to be one of the most
revolutionizing items in the in
dustry today—all from Lancaster
origin.
Experiments in the research
department of the General Cigar
Co., Inc., are leading to eventual
use in all brands produced by
that firm, and may extend into
the millions per year.
Yet company officials are
quick to reply that it is highly
unlikely Homogenized Tobacco
Leaf will replace natural bind
ers in the foreseeable future.
Elasticity, Adaptable
Elasticity of the new HTL
makes it most adaptable for
cigar use, but it is felt that it
will have no effect on present
production by Lancaster County
farmers.
By the same token, HTL may
open new market fields for the
Lancaster County grower. In
creased yields from improved
strains are m the future, as
well, and in turn may reduce
farmers’ operating costs.
Natural Leaf Stays
There will always be some
demand for natural leaf, and it
is highly probable that Pennsyl
vania leaf will continue on a
competitive basis with that from
Connecticut and Wisconsin price
wise.
Better filler types may be
needed in the County, to meet
a market demand that calls for
a milder leaf of the type grown
today in Maryland. However, the
HTL process uses all of the leaf,
even the stem,' all pulverized,
then bound by plastic, so to
speak.
'The HTL also eliminates cer
tain phases of, labor in manu
facture, and thus may result m
lower production cost.
EXPERIMENTAL FARM SOLD
The Pennsylvania State Univ-,
ersity experimental farm at
Landisville has been sold to be
subdivided into 40 to 60 lots,
according to E. R. Noll, who will
develop the 30-acre tract. Homes
selling from 811,500 to $13,500
will be erected on lots everaging
80 by 124 feet.

One of the basic rules for safe
winter driving is—follow at a
safe distance. The State Police
Commisioner joins with the Na
tional Safety Council in stres
sing the wisdom of allowing
ample room for stopping.
Tests have proven it takes
three to 12 times as far to come
to a halt on snow and ice as on
dry pavement. The use of tire
chains cuts braking distance
about 50 per cent and provides
often needed traction to keep
going.
Compulsion is often substit
