Tobacco
comments
requested
WASHINGTON, D.C.
The U.S. Department
of Agriculture is seeking
additional comments on
a proposal to provide
farmers official grading
of U.S. type 31 hurley
tobacco offered for sale
at auction when
displayed untied on
burlap sheets. Com
ments should be mailed
not later than July 11.
Lioniel S. Edwards, a
marketing official with
USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service, said
response to the
proposed rule change
announced May 25 has
been slow, and USDA
would like additional
comments from tobacco
producers and others
before making a final
rule decision.
Edwards said,
“USDA decided to Issue
a new proposal for the
upcoming marketing
season because last
year’s decision to refuse
official grading for this
type of tobacco
produced widespread
protest by tobacco
producers. Court
rullings favoring
proponents of united
sheeted tobacco sales
for the 1982-83
marketing season also
were a factor in
proposing the change.”
Under the proposal,
untied sheeted tobacco
will be eligible for
grading and price
support for 1983-84 and
succeeding seasons.
Edwards said the new
rule, if adopted, will
require bales to be
placed lengthwise on the
pallets for grading. Last
year stems of the
tobacco packed in bales
had to face the aisle.
This method of display
was found to be un
satisfactory because it
was difficult to inspect
the lower portion of the
lot.
Copies of the
proposal, which ap
peared in the May 25
Federal Register, are
available at many
public libraries.
Comments and
requests for further
information should be
sent to Lioniel Edwards,
Tobacco Division, Room
502-Annex, AMS, USDA,
Washington, D.C. 20250;
telephone (202) 447-2567.

NATURAL NON-TOXIC FERTILIZER
PRODUCES HEALTHY SOIL
Healthy soil produces healthy livestock feed without sprays.
Healthy livestock feed produces healthy livestock without drugs.
It is just that simple. And it is important because new diseases
and insects are appearing. Our program should be started in the
fail. Don’t forget your new or old alfalfa. If you already have
livestock trouble, consider the emergency plan below.
A Natural Mastitis Treatment That Worts
It is rich nutrition in the feed. Costs only about $2.75 per day, 2
feedings usually knocks it out except in old prolonged cases. Even
those sometimes when drugs have failed. It is Light Force
Spirulina, an algae that grows on water. Extremely rich in
vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, chlorophyll and
enzymes. It supplies the missing elements. Makes cows resistant.
It is double purpose - nourishing the cow and treating the cause,
not just the udder or symptom. Farmers say helps improve sick
cows in a few hours.
200 Tablets... M 8.95 Postpaid
Good repeat orders prove that this mastitis treatment works. We
also have another excellent natural product to use in combination
for very stubborn cases and sick cows. Free literature. Dealer
ships available for both these becoming popular products.
