dition that the Department of Agriculture would furnish directions 
for sorting and packing, the buyers in return to give the Department 
detailed information as to the cost of packmg and grading and to 
advise the price which was received for the tobacco. The same firm 
bought another small crop of shade tobacco, part of which was Cuban 
and part Sumatra, which was packed with the crop bought from Mr. 
Hubbard. The report furnished to the Bureau of Plant Industry is 
as follows:
