1967 crop years growers may
produce and market as much
type 41 tobacco as they wish
orr" more accurately, they
may sell as much as the mar
ket will absorb. The present
stocks of Pa. cigar-filler to
bacco on hand are reputed to
amount to a four-year supply.
This fact has caused govern
ment tobacco officials concern
for the stability of the market
for cigar-filler tobacco.

CHORE-MATIC
Thousands of owners can’t be wrong They chose Chore-Matic
because Chore-Matic is tested and proved. Because Chore-Matic

Chore-Matic combines the desirable features of hand feeding and
automation to produce a feeder far superior to chain-type units
Ideal for all kinds of houses and bulk feed-handling systems, the
Chore-Matic is available in single or multiple lines in lengths up
to 350 feet.
