OUR TOBACCO MAY BE KING

Badger State to Benefit-Eastern and Southern
Planters and Manufacturers Hope to Make Wis
consin a Banner Producer Of the Weed Roads
Interested.
Eastern and southern tobacco growers
and manufacturers are of the opinion
that Wisconsin can be made one of the
foremost tobacco-producing states in the
union. AT present they, with the in
dustrial officers of the st. Paul and 9TH
er lines penetrating the southern and
central districts of the commonwealth.
are making Investigations of the gener
81 conditions, preparatory to deciding
whether or not they would be justified
in entering into an extensive cultivation
of the weed" in the Badger state. Ii
the conditions are found to be favorable.
it is said, several of the manufacturers
of Virginia and the Carolinas Will de-
sert their present sites and establish fac
tories in Chicago, Milwaukee and Mad
ison.
IMPORTANT INDUSTRY IN THREE
COUNTIES.
Within the last few years the cult
Walton of tobacco has become an impor-
tant industry in the counties of Dane,
Jefferson and Rock, in which the prin-
clpal market centers are Edgerton,
Stoughton and Evansville. The grow
ing or the weed has been taken up in
Vernon county, too. and the results
thus far have been satisfactory to the
growers. 1t is estimated that the next
crop in the state will amount to %, 900
acres. Last years acreage has been in
creased something like ~, 900 acres. The
cultivation of tobacco in Wisconsin was
begun about twenty years ago, when
the results were FAR from gratifying.
Then it was regarded much as a haz-
ardous venture, and there was but few
words OF encouragement for it. Within
the following five years, however, the
growers demonstrated that the plant
could be grown profitably and in suffi-
Gent quantities to Justify the devotion
of much attention to it. In 1898 the
crop Melted %, 900 acres of tobacco,
which was compard favorably to the
finest leaves of the south and southeast.
Once or twice since the Worlds Fair
year, however, the crop has dropped as
low as 4, 900 acres.
The manufacturers long have had a
desire to establish factories in this part
OF the country, believing that the vari-
GUS products could be made and hand
led cheaper than in the south and east.
While they are practically assured that
tobacco can be grown profitably in
Wisconsin, the manufacturers are fear
full lest all of the varieties essential to
the success of extensive manufacturing
cannot be produced as well as in Vir-
glnia, the Carolinas and Tennessee. The
Wisconsin filters and binders are said to
be as good as those produced in any
other part of the country.
FACTORIES MAY BE BUILT.
1t the manufacturers and growers are
satisfied that they can cultivate tobacco
in the Badger state the railroads di-
rectly interested, it is said, will leave
nothing undone toward developing that
particular branch of Wisconsin's agri-
culture. Louis jackson, industrial
commissioner of the st. Paul, has ex-
pressed the belief that tobacco growing
can be made to be one of the states
most important industries. Chicago

End OF Pickle Season.

The frost last Tuesday night put an
end to the first pickle season in Sparta,
the sailing station discontinuing the
receipt of pickles Tuesday morning. The
season has been a very successful one in
every way, and Sparta has the distinc-
ton of having this year the banner
salting station of the United States, the
total receipts exceeding 80, 900 bushels
That the growers who gave reasonable
care to their vines are satisfied goes
without saying. as many of them have
picked over 300 bushels to the acre.
Altogether the city's pickle investment
has met the expectations of the most
sanguine. Fully $12, 900 have been
paid to farmers for cucumbers. Sparta

CENSOR is permitted to CLEAN a few
facts. We find that in village and city
lots the sales were 139, the deed consid-
Grafton $50, 42S; assessed valuation 49,
900. In farm lands there were sales of
20, 1870 acres; consideration as given
in the deeds 1891, O09, on which assessors
placed the value at $50, 05S. Thus it
will be ascertained that the selling price
of these lands and lots is about four
times as great as the value fixed by the
assessors.

mp with Wilmington. Business houses

one goes on forever. and through all
these years it has preserved spotless
business reputation Mr.. Henry l..
West, the founder Of the firm, has made
his chosen vocation the subject of care
full study, and the results are apparent
TO anyone who enters into business re
lations with him. One Of the keys to
success is that the house keeps at all
times il most complete line of everything
one could reasonably expect TO find in
first-clasS grocery establishment. When
the volume of business done is taken
into consideration this fact would seem
little short of the marvellous, but so
perfect is the system by which the af-
fairs Of the store are conducted that the
daily inroads into the complete stock
made by customers who have been pat
rons of the house for years that there IS
no perceptible change in the general as
