1973 Cigar Tobacco
Allotment Announced
The US. Department of
Agriculture today announced the
national acreage allotments for
the 1973 crop of cigar leaf
tobaccos.
For cigar-filler and binder
tobacco (types 42-44 & 53-55), the
1973 national acreage allotment
will be 18,055 acres, compared to
18,256 in 1972. Acreage allotments
for most farms will be about the
same in 1973 as in 1972. For some
farms on which the tobacco
acreage history in recent years
has been less than 75 percent of
the farm’s allotment, the allot
ments will be reduced more in
line with plantings, as provided
by law Cigar-filler and binder
tobacco is grown principally in
Wisconsin and Ohio, with smaller
quantities produced in Illinois,
Indiana, lowa, Minnesota, New
York and Pennsylvania
For cigar-binder tobacco
(types 51 & 52) the 1973 allotment
will be 5,851 acres and for most
farms will be about the same in
1973 as in 1972 Some farms that

Seven Signs
Cancer has seven warning
signals: Change in bowel or
bladder habits; a sore that does
not heal; unusual bleeding or
discharge; thickening or lump
in breast or elsewhere; indiges
tion or difficulty in swallowing;
obvious change in wart or mole;
nagging cough or hoarseness.
If you have a signal, see your
doctor right away, the Ameri
can Cancer Society says.

Cavities in our teeth is the most
widespread of all the chronic dis
eases in America. People don’t
seem to think of dental health in
that way. But they should. Almost
100% of our population is afflict
ed. Come to think of it, our den
tists represent the largest group
of doctors exclusively trained to
treat a single health problem.
But our record in controlling
dental caries should be much bet
ter. The professional help is avail
able but people don’t take suffi
cient advantage of it. Where
expense is a problem, there is
talk of a “Blue Cross” kind of
coverage. But above all, people
apparently are not sufficiently
motivated. I say this because I am
convinced that regular trips to
your dentist save money—and are
cheapest in the long run. So I
urge you to see your dentist
regularly.
Preventive Care
But let’s talk about the kind of
care that can prevent or minimize
dental problems. Nutrition cer
tainly isn’t a be-all, end-all with
regard to dental health. But we
believe that good nutrition has to
make a contribution to dental
health, whereas bad nutrition cer
tainly can cause dental problems.
Let’s take infants as an exam
ple. The newborn child's mouth
contains the beginnings of 52
teeth. Since the unborn child de
pends upon its mother for nour
ishment, this means a pregnant
woman’s diet must be adequate in
calcium, phosphorus and vitamin
D if the child’s dental and other
bone development are to be suf
ficient. With an insufficient diet,
the baby’s start on tooth develop
ment may be impaired or may
be the baby will override the
mother’s needs, causing the moth
er herself to lose valuable stores
of calcium and phosphorus.
An infant’s teeth, of course, do
not protrude through the gums
until about the sixth month of
life. But the living structures for
teeth were formed before birth
and continue to develop after

NUTRITION
AND TEETH
birth. The dentine and enamel of
your teeth are inert. But the pulp
of teeth contains nerves and blood
vessels. Your teeth are also fas
tened to bones by a membrane
that is living material. So are the
bony ridges of the upper and
lower jaw in which your teeth are
imbedded.
So, our teeth are hardly “dead”
stuff. And dental health depends
upon good nutrition both super
ficially and basically. Superficial
nutritional abuse of our teeth ob
viously includes eating sticky,
sweet foods and not cleaning our
teeth properly after eating. Basic

nutrition for dental health is more
concerned with a diet that causes
you to chew foods well for the
exercise this gives to your gums
and teeth. And making sure you
get, along with all other needed
nutrients, enough calcium, phos
phorus and vitamin I). Milk is the
source of about 75% of the cal
cium in our food supply (and
good amounts of phosphorus).
