i-2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 27, 1974 Flue-Cured Tobacco Comniittee Discusses Research Findings The flue-cîired tobacco var- iety evaluation committee for Ontario composed of repre- sentatives of ail segments of the tobacco industry, met Fébruary 19,1974,,and discus- sed the information on new and licensed varieties collect- ed during the years 1970-1973 at the Research Station, Dehi. The committee included re- presentatives of' the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing Board; Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food; Domestic and Export Leaf and Manufacturing Con- panties; Flue-cured Certified Tobacco Seed Growers: Re- search Station, Agriculture Canada, Delhi; Plant Pro- ducts Division, Agriculture George Blylevenl General Insurance Fire and Automobile Insurance Contact: JOYCE GROOT 623-3958 or 623-5300 Ontario Canada, London, and Depart- ment of Industry, Trade and Commerce, Ottawa. The committee considered the characterîstics of Coker 347 and Speight G41 and were unanimous in their decîsion to advise growers that Coker 347 and Speight G41 should not be ~ on. Both varieties are late Îlowering, slightly higher yieldirg and are lower in quality than Delhi 34. The leaf, is thin and bas a high stem content. Their higher yields,, result from more harvested leaves which prolongs the harvesting period fo the point, that frost damage could be- core a very serious problem. The ProPduction of such variet- les reflect adversely on the general acceptability of Ont- ario flue-cured tobacco. Ex-f tensive testing is conducted on newly released varieties from U.S.A. and other countries and from the breeding and gene- tics program at the Research Station, Delhi and only those found superior t0 existing varieties in characteristics important f0 all phases of the înduustry are licensed. Varieties of flue-cured to- bacco licensed for use in Canada are:, Delhi 34, Virginia 115, Yellow Gold, Hicks Broadleaf, Bell 15, Delcrest 66 CONSUMER Buy-LiNE Con artists prey on the senior citizen Each year, senior citizens lose thousands or dollars to con artists and unethical merchants selling everything from hearing aids and glasses to home re pairs and magazines.
