There is nothing new in reference to
tobacco sales, yet there is an occasional
sale. AS rule they are only given as or
private terms, so every one can have the
privilege of guessing at the price: The
farmers are busy preparing their fields
for the crop. The cold weather seems
to have taken French leave of us, and
Saturday, the Goth inst, was the com
mencement of our warm weather. This
change of the climate is very satisfactory
to all of us.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Enfield, Ct, May IL: "The weather was
so cold that ice made nearly an eighth OF
an inch In thickness, thermometers rang
ing from % to 25 degs. above zero, and
some say 20 deg. Plants in properly pre-
pared beds are looking better than would
seem possible. There will not be much
setting of plants done in May. The out
look for the coming crop seems as ,ood.
as it did last year at this time. we ex-
pect slight increase in acreage in this
part of our state" East tGranby, Ct.
"Plants under glass and cloth are coming
on as we'll as could be expected. The
old crops are pretty we'll cleaned up.
Much of the 99 wrappers has been
sweated and is selling as fast as it is
ready to work, so we expect that most oa'
the wrappers of that crop will be out of
the way" Amherst: "We have reports
from Amherst that are quite encourag-
ing for the coming crop. Plants are do
ing we'll where protected by cloth or
glass. North Hatfield: "Plant beds are
doing we'll under glass. Plants were of
the size of a half dollar on the 10th, and
growing fast" THE Cultivator.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERTON. Wis, MAY

EDGERToN, WIS.,, May 25 1900.
Trading in cured leaf has been largely
confined to old stocks during the week
and altogether the transactions have
been the largest that have taken place in
months. Not only have several packings
changed hands, but quite a number of
lots of '97 and '9S we re gathered in from
growers, and for which outside prices
were paid for few fancy lots.
Sales reaching us are:
Henry Nelson, 35cs '97 at &c.
And. johnson, Goes '97&'98 at &c.
Sam Marsden, Aces '9S at 12c.
Ole 0. Lein, Aces '9S at 12c.
l.. 0. Lein, 51cs '9S at 12c
Jas. Mccarthy, 72cs 9S at lie.
G. f. Tallard has purchased nearly
1500cs of '99 leaf from local packers for
the account of the Havana American
Co., including 600cs of F. S. Baines; $50
cases of Geo. Rumrill, 260cs of E. Drot-
ming and d. small lot of Mcintosh Bros.
Frank Baines bought 4O0cs lot of '97
and '90 of 0. G.. Lee and sold 100cs lot
of '97 to Philadelphia dealer and 200
case lot to export, since last report
The weather Of the week has been
rather dry for rapid growth of the
plant beds, though generally speaking
the plants are plenty forward enough for
the season. Growers are now busy pre-
pairing their fields for transplanting, and
setting will commence in few instances
the coming week, where the early beds
are crowding.
The shipments out of storage reach IA
car loads, 6S0cs, for the past week from
this station to all points. Since last re-
port 240cs of cigar leaf were exported
from New York

very fourishing after the first few in
scriptions. Manufacturers never seem
to take kindly to the new leaf, Last year
at this time the new leaf appeared as
dead as a door nail 1t began to strike
the fancy of the buyers only in August
and then the rush for it uninterruptedly
for the balance of the year. And the
1899 crop will pass through the same ex-
perience; it is bound to do so, in view of
the now undisputed fact that the most
desirable tobacco for this market has
been secured already from this crop.
On Tuesday next the second inscrip-
tion will take place at Rotterdam
Journal.

LANCASTER New ERA, May 10, 1900.
Dealers who have been in the business
all their lives declare there has not been
duller period in ten years than at this
very moment. Not only this the case
with new goods, but with old packings
also 1t is true that goods of previous
years have nearly all been sold, but many
of these were never taken away, and their
owners are still awaiting purchasers. 1t
would seem that the large manufacturers
are overstocked and are in no need of
goods; in no other way can these large
holdings of old tobacco lying here be &C
counted for. The only sales that have
been brought to our notice are 125 cases
sold by M. M. Fry and S0cs bought by B.
F. Good. For the corresponding week
of last year the sales were 770cs.
The weather has jumped, in single
day, from rather moderate temperature
to midsummer weather, between so and
90 degrees in the shade That has stim-
ulated all kinds of vegetation, and the,
tobacco plants among the rest. We have
heard of perhaps half dozen farmers
who set out plants last week, and good
many will do so this week, as the ground
now is in good condition for that pur
pose.

Mr.. Willis G.. johnson, Maryland State
Entomologist, has issued special circu-
lar of instructions for the destruction of
noxious insects. For the tobacco cut
worm Mr.. johnson advises the making
of mush composed of fifty pounds of
bran, two quarts of molasses and one
pound of paris green. The worms like
this sweet substance, and will eat it in
preference to the plants. A little of the
mixture put at each tobacco hill few
days before the plants are set out will
draw the worms out of the ground and
kill them.

A new tobacco trust has been organ
lied with 25 million dollar capital to be
known as the International Tobacco Co.
"A few millions more. or less added to the
capital of such big corporations doesn't
matter much, provided the stock can be
unloaded onto a credulous public.
Among the incorporators are some of the
largest southern manufacturers of cigar
cite, plug and smoking tobacco and it is
said to be the intent of the new company
to take over the large concerns now out
side Of the other trusts and make bid
for the foreign trade in manufactured
tobacco. Two of the leading spirits ac-
tive in the affairs of the American To
bacco Co. until recently are with the new
concern. The capital of the International
is based in the expectations of 10 per
cent dividends, which may or may not
materialize. The stock of the two other
leading tobacco trusts have been on the
decline for several months past with no
prospect of immediate improvement. The
international Company will at the start
control twelve factories with a capacity
of 100000 pounds, exclusive of cigar
cites. To the manufacturer S5,0OO,O0O
of the capital stock will be devoted.

pull up easily, but for deep rooted sorts
such as clover or plantain, the small
blade of pocket knife cuts the roots
just below the surface with no damage
to the tobacco plants. | usually weed

tobacco plant bed always responds gen
erously to careful treatment, and it pays
to take good care of it.

It is seldom that a seasons packing of
! tobacco gets through the curing process
without being tainted with more or less
black rot The loss from such damage
frequently is but nominal, but.it is rare
that a packing is entirely free from it
handsome Injury from this cause is rea-
sonably to be expected every year. It is
yet too early to determine how serious
it may prove in this state but already re-
ports from Pennsylvania say that con
siderable. black rot is found. Much
speculation isalways INDUCED in regard
ing the cause of this damage, and a cor
respondent to the New York Leaf has
this to offer on the subject:
Now, the question arises, what is the
cause of this damage, or what should be
done to avoid it? The views that are
given by most of those that have had
trouble and expense on this account are
SO wide apart that have given the mat
ter special attention by consulting some
of our oldest and most experienced hand
lers. And this is what they tell me;
The appearance of black-rot in crop
of tobacco is a sure sign of the latter be-
ing rich in quality.
By opening a case of so called black-ro
tobacco, it will be- found that the fumes
of ammonia are very strong, and this is
only found-to such extent-in the very
finest grades of tobacco. Ammonia un-
equally distributed through the leaf is the
real cause of the burn, or the wrongly
called black-rot. Too much moisture
when packing, and sudden changes of
temperature while curing, cause the ex-
cess of ammonia to concentrate in spots,
which burn the leaf. The defect, there
fore. is not the result of rot, as it is gen
orally called; it is burn.
During the past few seasons, some of
the Lancaster packers have put part of
their packing into forced sweat, and the
results, as far as black rot was concerned,
were quite satisfactory. On the other
hand, there is an objection to the dry and
chaffy condition of the leaf after having
gone through this process. The reason
for this is that there was entirely too
much heat put on the tobacco-from ITO
to 125 degrees is too much. Seventy-five
degrees is sufficient, and with this tenn
perature the time necessary is about two
and half months. Tobacco cured in
this manner will be free from black-rot
or burn, and will be as most and pliable
as any that is cured in the usual Wav.

WHY MOTT

In another column will be found a
communication from Torrance In which
the correspondent says that the farmers
there are tired of raising cotton, and
asks why the capitalists OF Grenada do
not secure factories which will employ
several hundred men, and thus make a
market for all the butter. pork, poultry
and vegetables the farmers could raise.
He is pleading for the farmer. We
plead for Grenada. A town that de-
ponds entirely upon the farming com
munity for support often finds itself in
a ticklish position when the fields and
farms are wasted from any cause.
Unless the farmer makes money he can
not spend it, and unless the farmer has
money to spend the Merchant who de-
ponds upon the country trade must 60
down. The farmer will pull through
some way by close living and personal
inconvenience, but the merchant must
sell goods to live. Manufacturing
industries run on through all kinds
and conditions of weather. through
floods and through drouths, and their
employees have the ready cash te
spend twelve months in the year. W.
do not underestimate the value Of our
farming interests, but to be successful
as a city we must unite the industrial
and agricultural forces il we are tC
build on a firm foundation.
The suggestion of our farmer cor
respondent ia worth some thought and
attention from those who have the
good Of Grenada at heart, and from
those who desire their business
interests to expand and prosper.
