LANCASTER COUNTY'S THREE
REPRESENTATIVES INTRODU-
CED A EBILL TO CONDUCT
EXPERIMENTAL WORK HERE.
Representatives Wood, Trout and
Royer, Republican members of the
House of Representatives from
Lancasttr county, have introduced
jointly a bill of considerable in-
terest to tobacco growers.
The measure, which has been re-
ferred to the Committee on Agri-
culture, would set up a fund of
$25,000 with which the Department
of Agriculture would be authorized
to conduct experimental work for
the
bacco
improvement of types of to-
and shade grown wrappers,
for the overcoming of tobacco di-
ceases, the perfecting of the proces-
seg of curing, fermentation, sweat-
ing and packing tobacco, and de-
velopments in the field of fertili-
zers, .
This bill has the backing of to-
bacco growers who believe that it
might result in such improvement
in their line of agriculture as simi-
lar experiments have brought in
Pennsylvania's grown potatoes,
where the yield has been greatly
enlarged, the quality vastly raised
and grading, packing and market-
ing standardized among the more
advanced potato raisers.
