men hand-sizing tobacco on the 2-inch scale by the 

 use of sizing boards. 



Figure 11 shows a plan of constructing a tobacco 

 sizing table. The essential feature of this table is 

 a sizing board around which are arranged stalls for 

 keeping the several different lengths of tobacco sep- 

 arate after it has been sized. When tobacco is sized 

 on either the 1-inch or the 2-inch scale, stalls are 

 ordinarily necessary on account of the large number 

 of different sizes. Tables of this kind may be used 

 for either leaf sizing or hand sizing. Figure 12 shows 

 a tobacco sizing table of similar construction in use 

 This table has been found to be very satisfactory 

 and it ordinarily pays for itself many times a season 

 in the saving of labor costs.
