The own, pr of the farm was most kind in answering the numerous ques- tions that were fired at him from ail sides. The tobacco auction exchange in Delhi proved to be one of the highlights of the journ- ey. The director of the exchange outlined several steps in the sale of tobacco. First 'tile crop is ordered in by 1/4 crop ship., ments from the farmer Who has notified the board that he has his crop ready for marketing. Upon arriving the tobacco is unloaded and classified by Board Classifiers and placed on pallets according to classification. Next the leaves are weighed elec- trically on a Government scale and placed on the display floor where the buyers may look at them, The final step occurs when the employee d e 1 iv er s the weight bills of each tobacco shipment to the office where the ladies number each bill, These are given to the IBM operators who make a catalogue listing on a master ditto giving the position and num- ber of bales and pounds being offered for sale to the buyers. The exchange is the major link between the farmer and the to- bacco company. that for any person who was seriously interested In horticul- tere this school would present a very promising opportunity.

You can help them . . and boost your profits , . by controlling weed seed with EPTAM selective herbicide. It reduces weed and grass competition, cuts your cultivation costs. In dry beans, EPTAM controls annual grasses and many broadleaf weeds such as pigweed, hairy night- shade, common chickweed, deadnettle, lambsquarters and others. It also controls quackgrass, and nutgrass (nutsedge). Used at a reduced application rate, EPTAM gives excellent control of annual grasses in corn. Apply it to the soil just before you plant your dry beans or corn and then immediately mix (incorporate) it in. Soil incorporation can be done with a disc. EPTANI leaves no soil residue to damage cover crops or interfere with crop rotation, Ask your dealer for details. Stauffer Chemical Company of Canada, Ltd., Montreal.
