HOW TO GROW
OLD GRACEFULLY
According to current statistics,
if you are now 35 you can expect
to live to be 73; if you are 45 you
will probably live to be about
74; if 55, to around 76.
Whether you, individually, live
this long depends upon certain
important attitudes and qualities.
They are not necessarily identical
with good health. Many people
who suffer “poor health” live
longer than they would had they
been robust.
If you hope to endure the hard
knocks of age you must develop
proper emotional attitudes. Ac
cording to the experts here are
some of the essentials.
(1.) You must have a desire
to continue life. The World
Health Organization, with its
twenty four member countries,
catalogues 999 diseases and caus
es of death. One of the most de
ceitful enemies of the human
body is the lack of desire to live.
Lack of desire to live is the fel
low who holds Mr. Age’s coat
while he spits on his hands and
beats you to death. Keep telling
yourself life is worth living.
(2.) Be inquistive. By contin
uing to ask questions you quicken
your mind and heart. When you
ask , “What is this? How does
it work?” you are exposing your
self to new interests. This is what
keeps you, as we say, “from dry
ing up on the stalk”.
(3.) Break the habit of worry.
Worry is indicative of the fact
that you are letting your emot
ions get the upper hand. Giving
into anger and harboring strong
emotional conflicts also indicate
your are letting your emotions
rule you. In regard to anger, R.
Roy Keaton, in the Lions Maga
zine says: “When you are right
you can afford to keep your tem
per; when you are wrong, you
can’t afford to lose it”. Dale Car
negia reminds us, in “How to
Stop Worrying and Start Living”,
that “The most famous insurance
company on earth, Lloyd’s of
London, has made countless mil
lions of dollars out of the tenden
cy of everybody to worry about
things that rarely happen. Lloyd’s
of London bets people that the
disasters they are worrying about
will never happen”.
Elizabeth Cheyney shows us how
ridiculous worry is in her poem,
“Overheard in an Orchard”:
Said the robin to the sparrow,
“I should really like to know
Why these anxious human be
ins
Rush about, and worry so?”
Said the sparrow to the robin,
“Friend, I think that it must be
They have no Heavenly Father
Such as cares for you and me”.
(4.) Continue to make friends.
Raymond P. Kaighn says: Rem
iniscing, worrying about your
health, and criticizing youth are
sure indications of approaching
senility”. He suggests that if you
want to keep young you should
“build up some friendships among
younger people. You will never

be without friends, even if you
live to be a hundred and all the
old ones have long since passed
on to glory”.
(5.) Develop a genuine con
cern for others. John Oxenham
shows us what this does in his
poem, “Love’s Perogative”:
Love ever gives,
Forgives, outlives,
And ever Stands
With open hands.
And while it lives,
It gives
For this is love’s perogative,
To give ,and give, and give.
(6.) Maintain religious faith.
Life is rich, very rich, for those
who rely upon faith during all
the trials and stresses of life.
Helen Keller says: “A simple,
childlike faith in God solves all
the problems that come to us by
land or sea”.

Foreign Markets Want Leaf
With Body, Flavor, Aroma
(From Tobacco Associates, Inc., Report)
U. S. flue-cured tobacco is being used in 74 foreign
countries throughout the world. The reason why it is so
widely used and is in such ffreat demand is because of
its rich flavor and aroma.
Flue-cured tobacco is being
grown in many foreign countries.
Most foreign flue-cured produc
ing countries can produce tobac
co just as desirable as that of
the United States from the stand
point of color and burning qual
ity but so far other countries
have been unable to duplicate the
desirable body, flavor, and ar
oma that is to be found only in
U. S.-grown leaf.
The production in 1955 of an
abnormally large amount of flue
cured leaf which little or no
aroma or flavor has created a
great deal of anxiety throughout
the entire tobacco industry - both
at home and abroad - and has
brought about the following de
velopments:
1. Letters and reports have
been received by the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, U. S.
leaf dealers, and others in the
U. S. tobacco industry, including
Tobacco Associates, from many
foreign countries, indicating that
these countries will be forced
to turn to other countries for the
leaf supplies which they norm
ally purchase in the United
States, unless a larger proport
ion of the crop meets their re
quirements. They emphasize body,
color, flavor, and aroma as nec
cessary characteristics in U. S.
leaf;
2. Some exporters reportedly
reduced substanially the amount
of leaf purchased in 1955 because
a large part of the crop was de
ficient in body, flavor, and aroma.
(Many foreign buyers come to
this country annually and make
smoking quality tests during the
auction marketing season of the
tobaccos they are interested in
buying. They check the flavor
and aroma, as well as other char
acteristics, by actually smoking
cigarettes made from the differ-

3. Leaf exporters who buy our
tobacco on the auction floors and
sell it on the world markets have
adopted a resolution urging tobac
co farmers to plant only those
varieties which produce leaf
which has the characteristics de
sired by our foreign customers.
4. The U. S. Department of Ag
riculture has announced that it
plans to reduce substantially the
support price for “pale and slick”,
and other off tye grades, for the
1956 crop.
PULPWOOD PRODUCTION
The approximately 3.1 million
cords of pulpwood harvested dur
ing 1954 was an all-time high,
but Dorsey Dyer, forester for the
College of Agriculture Extension
Service, says the 1955 report
should show a 10 to 15 percent
increase. And he believes pulp
wood production in 1956 will
probably show another increase
of about the same proportion.
