The Weed on the West Branch
The Jersey Shore Herald says The cal
tivatiOn of tobacco on the West Branch is
assuming great proportions, and it prom
iscs to be at no very distant day leading
branch of industry, second in Importance
to the lumber Interest. For :. long time
an impression prevailed that this country
could not produce good article OF to-
baccO. There were, We confess, various
reasons why this impression should exist.
Interested parties were engaged i'll decry-
s,,<r %1,<v
were nOviccs, SD to speak, had not yet
learned how to curc and assOrt Improperly.
Hundreds of cases of the very finest to-
baccO were scld for mere song, taken to
the cities, resOrted and repacked, and sold
stances it is believed tobacco growI here
facturers in this section at an advance of
from 20 to 80 cents of the original cost.
The soil of the West Branch valley, cs-
pecially that portion lying between Will.
Transport and Lock Haven is particularly
adapted TO the growth of the weed. Ian
caster county, which is the great tobacco
county of the state, does not produce Il
finer article. Its soil is strong and it's
growth of tObasco is large, and the pro-
duct in many instances is excellent, but, if
we are not mistaken, no limestone region,
however fertile, will produce as fine al n.
ticle as the sandy alluviOus. But the
farmers in Lancaster understood the art of
curing tobacco and asserting it, and herein
was the sole cause of the increased value
of their product.
Tho Local Market.
The past week hls been a very quiet
one in tobacco circles. Dealers from abroad
1,n,
sales arc reported by the local buyers. a
great deal of the crop is sufficiently cured
to strip, but the weather is unfavorable
for the purpose besides, the heavy buy
ers of green leaf have given orders to the
purchased until after there shall have
been heavy frost.
In 1880 leaf there have been sales dur
ing the week of lots asgresating about 400
cases !; and there is u report, lacking con-
firmation however, o.. the sale of another
packing of 600 cases. Operators fight shy
of the high figures now ruling, and buy
only that which they must have for i'm
mediate use.
