Yields per 



Some of these newer strains deserve testing on a considerably larger scale in 

 numerous places in the Connecticut Valley to determine their excellence in practi- 

 cal production. 



Note : Grade Index is a number expressing the grading of all the tobacco produced 

 by a strain in an experiment. It is based upon the percentage of grades^ 

 and the relative percentage values of these different grades, as given 

 below: 



Light wrappers 1.00 Long darks ( 19" & longer) 30 



Medium wrappers 60 Dark stemming (17" & shorter). .20 



Long seconds (19" & longer).. . .60 Fillers 10 



Short seconds (17" & shorter). . .30 Brokes 10 



Grade index is derived by multiplying the percentage yield of each 

 grade by its respective price in the above schedule, adding the products, 

 and dividing by 100. 



Crop index is a number expressing crop value and is derived by multi- 

 plying the total acre production of tobacco in pounds by the grade index 

 value of that particular tobacco. 



Grade index and crop index and the adopted price relationships given 

 above do not necessarily represent commercial values and prices.
