volume dropped this year
1964 Average Price for
Tobacco Was 2nd Highest
The second highest average
price on record was received for
sales of the 1964 crop of Georgia-
Florida flue-cured tobacco.
The Federal-State Market News
Service reports an average of $58.-
63 per hundred was paid for 174,-
307,742 gross pounds. This aver
age exceeded that of the previous
year by $1.75 and was only 25
cents under the record high es
tablished for sales of the 1961
crop.
Volume this year dropped near
ly 24 million pounds under last
year’s, while the value of 102.2
million dollars was down 10.5
million. Volume of sales was the
lightest in five years.
Grade averages this year were
mostly higher than in 1963 and
the percentage of sales placed
under Government loan was very
small. Quality of offerings was
slightly lower. This year’s crop
was planted a little later than
last year’s, also harvesting was
delayed some because of exces
sive rainfall ^ver the belt.
Higher average prices were
paid for about three-fourths of
the grades. Increases over last
year ranged from SI.OO to $4.00
per hundred pounds, with most a
mounting to SI.OO and $2.00. Sev
eral grades declined SI.OO and $2.-
00 with losses centered on non
descript and poor quality leaf.
Only a few grades remained at
their previous levels. Selected
baskets of ripe leaf and mellow
^poking leaf brought a top price
of $72.00 a hundred pounds.
Quality of offerings was a little
lower as the percentage of fair
and good tobacco decreased. The
proportion of variegated market
ings was larger while less orange
and lemon was sold. Grades of
poor to fair leaf, nondescript,
fair lugs and fair and low prim
ings made up the bulk of safest

Uncovered Sneezes
Spread Diseases
Gesundheit!
Watch that sneeze, Buster! It’s
anything but a blessing, old folk
lore notwithstanding.
As a matter of fact, sneezes
are real, live public enemies. And
so are coughs.
We can’t send out a dragnet,
corner them with drawn guns,
and put them on trial. But we
can incarcerate them — with tis
sues, that is.
Cover your coughs ami sneezes!
Don’t let these public enemies
loose to spread their germs to
others.
And germs there are, floating
free in the air, every tine you
cough or sneeze. They are tiny
but they pact a mighty wallop in
sickness and disease whar they
are inhaled by others.
So don't let a single droqiet of
spray —a single germ or virus
escape nto the air.
What’s the answer? Just! be
quick on the draw, when you
reach for the tissues.

September 4 totaled 8,161 bringing
the season’s total to 9,566 bales.
This compares with 27,570 sam
ples classed for the comparable
week a year ago and last season’s
total of 52,863 bales.
The quality of the cotton class
ed was somewhat lower than nor
mally expected for this time of
the season. A large percentage
of the cotton fell into the light
spotted grades and the Strict Low
Middling and lower white grades.
Staple lengths were better than
is normally expected with the
majority of classing stapling 1-
1/16 inches and longer.
Marketing of current ginnings
was slow as very few producers
were ready to sell. A small vo
lume was reported sold at prices
ranging from even with the loan
rates to 200 points above loan
rates. Enteres into the Commodi

reported to be limited in volume.
