THE EVENT FARMERS T0 TURN T0 MANUFACTURE Wisconsin Tobacco Pool to| Market Own Brand for Chewing. By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis, January 10.—The theory that farmers must become manufacturers and distributors if they desire to improve their lot, is being put to a test in Wisconsin. In the State's first experiment of this kind, some 8,000 farmer members of the Northern Wisconsin Tobacco Pool have manufactured their own brand of chewing tobacco, and are pre- pared to market it within the next few iring process 1s on a d done with_ relatively nstructed machines—but nt, ance that the public will buy tobacco on its merits. Prof, James A. J cialist in the University College of Agriculture, figure in the experiment His formulas for flavoring, ing and blending Wisconsin-grown to- | bacco are used in the manufacturing | process conducted in a small building near the campu Equipment to mix and package the tobacco was constructed by Prof. John- son and his assistants. It has a pro- ductive capacity of 200 pounds per hour, and does not approach the effi- ciency of machines found in factories of large tobacco companies But_it represents hopes of several thousand farmers who face the lowest tobacco prices since the Civil War. Thus far the pool has made only chewing tobacco. If this venture suc- ceeds, manufacture of smoking tobacco will follow. Marketing of the product at first will be confined to the Wiscon- sin area, with 8,000 pool members as prospective customers. { The experiment is with interest by all types of Wisconsin farmers. With many farm products selling at the lowest levels in decades, farmers say they virtually have been compelled to focus some attention on en actual test of the opinion that they | should market as well as produce their good: son, tobacco spe- of Wisconsin is the leading sweeten- being _ watched THE PRINTED SAT tones of ¢ brilliant blue CHARMING BRIDE MRS.
