'Simple equipment makes the stripping and grading job easier, and enables the farmer to market a neater, higher quality leaf. In the foreground is a tobacco stalk rack for the stripped stalk. When the rack is full, the stalks can be easily tied into a bundle and stored in the dry until they are spread on the ground. Over the stalk rack is another rack for holding tobacco sticks on which hands of the same grade are placed until the stick is full. When the stick is filled it is transferred to the tobacco press (top right) and the press lid lowered to iron out the rough wrinkled stick of hands into a neat stick which will bulk neatly without a bulge just below the tie on the hand.'
