Md. Tobacco Prices (Continued from Pip I| comparison therefore becomes impossible. $l.lO would be a very good price flit 1 the Pennsylvania 609 tobacco, but the crop wouldn’t compare in quality to that produced in Maryland. 70-cents would be a bad price for the Maryland crop because it has less moisture and involves more handling than the Penn sylvania produced type 609. But the nagging question remains - could Lancaster County growers of Type 609 tobacco get more for their crop if they’d hold it for sale when the Maryland auctions open in the spring? We posed that question to a IS 671 1263 227 367 480 Its 47 TOl4 48 69 2670 149 145 159 19 126 47 37 33 27 49 731 63 1470 10 47 49 77 27 41 448 301 235 996 275 170 143 490 16 1957 801 24 10 Lancaiter Farming, Saturday. May 3.1975 couple of growers, who were happy to talk but who didn't want their names used. Both are from the New Holland area, as are most of the 609 producers. The first grower said he felt returns from his three acres of 609 were about the same as if he’d planted Penndel. “Penndel weighs a little more, but the price is lower,” he said. ‘‘The Maryland tobacco is a little easier to put away, but it’s not quite as easy to get ready to sell. We have to take the top leaves off separately.” We asked if the fanner thought sorting 609 would pay. “They give the same price for everything, the same as Pennbel. Which is all right with me. I don’t care too much for sorting.” Would it pay to sort, we then asked, if he could take his tobacco to Maryland auctions and get $l.lO a pound. “It might be wor thwhile,” he said. “But you’d have to get a load together. And I don’t think I’d want to do that with my whole crop. But it might be interesting to do it with some of the tobacco we grow here.” The second farmer we called wiD be growing 609 for the third season this year, and plans to put in 12 acres. We asked him what he though about the price dif ferential between 609 as it is sold here off the farms and as it’s sold on the Maryland auctions. “I feel we’ve* been getting BEEF SALES MONDAY 2:30 P.M.

They work with it all during the winter. After it dries down a little, they take the leaves off the laths and tie them into hands. Then they put the hands back on the laths and wait until they’re bone dry before they do to the auction. “Really, that tobacco brings a higher price on the auction, but it takes a lot more work, too, and it’s not as heavy as the tobacco we sell. I have no complaints with the 70- to 75-cents we got for our crop last year.” FFA Officers Elected Members of the Garden Spot Chapter of FFA representing Lampeter- Strasburg High School recently elected officers for the coming school year.
