2. In this Order—

‘‘ Flue-cured leaf ’’ means leaf that has been treated in
the kiln for at least three successive days immediately
after picking for the purpose of yellowing, fixing
colour, drying, and drying mid-ribs:

‘‘ Air-dried leaf ’’ means leaf other than flue-cured

offer to purchase; and ‘‘ sale ’’ and ‘‘ purchase ’’
include barter and exchange.

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

3. This Order applies with respect to all raw-leaf tobacco
   grown in New Zealand during the 1953–54 season: Provided
   that the Tribunal may, in any case where it considers it
   proper to do so and subject to such conditions (if any) as
   it thinks fit, exempt any such tobacco from the operation of
   this Order.

FIXING AVERAGE PRICES OF RAW-LEAF TOBACCO TO WHICH
THIS ORDER APPLIES

4. (1) The average price to be paid by any tobacco
   manufacturer for raw-leaf tobacco to which this Order applies
   shall be not less than—

(a) For flue-cured leaf: 3s. 10½d. per pound.

(b) For air-dried leaf: 3s. 7½d. per pound.

(2) For the purpose of this clause the weight of any
raw-leaf tobacco shall be deemed to be its weight at the time
and place of delivery by the grower to the manufacturer or
to his agent in the district in which it is grown: Provided,
that in any case where the grower and the manufacturer or
his agent agree that the moisture-content of the leaf in any
lot of tobacco is excessive, then, for the purposes of calculating
the value of the lot, the weight of the lot shall be deemed to
be reduced by a reasonable amount to make allowance for the
excessive moisture.

5. No raw tobacco shall be sold by the grower thereof
   or purchased from him at less than 1s. 6d. per pound free on
   board ship Motueka or Nelson in the case of tobacco grown
   in the Nelson Provincial District, and in the case of tobacco
   grown in any other district at less than 1s. 6d. per pound
   free on board ship or free on rail at the port or railway-
   station which is nearest to the place at which such tobacco is
   grown.

6. No raw tobacco shall be sold by any person other than
   the grower thereof, or purchased from such other person at
   less than 1s. 6d. per pound free on board ship or free on
   rail at the port or railway-station which is nearest to the
   place at which such tobacco is at the time of sale thereof being
   held or stored.

7. Notwithstanding anything in the provisions of clauses
   5 and 6 hereof, the Tribunal may, in any case where it con-
   siders it proper so to do, authorize the sale and purchase of
   tobacco at a price less than the price fixed by either of those
   clauses.

Dated at Wellington, this 9th day of June 1954.
