Local Tobacco Leaf to be Auctioned at Fremantle

A West Australian growers meeting at Manjimup debated selling a 108830 crop of tobacco leaf at Fremantle on Dalgety Co floor. Supporters argued auction would draw competition and teach leaf value with an assessor, while opponents warned of risks. The motion to try auction passed narrowly 24 23 after divisions and a confidence vote in the committee.
