The proposition of the American To
bacco Co. to stand sponsor for some of
it's absorbed properties and guarantee
the bonds, stock dividends, ETC., of the
corporations it desires to take over, is
meeting with some opposition among
the stock holders of the big trust. At a
special meeting OF the American and
Continental companies recently held,
Sig ,Rosenwold, the New York leaf dealer,
entered a vigorous protest against the
adoption of an amendment to the arti-
cles of incorporation, MIR. Rosewood
owns half a million interest in proper
ties but his protest went for naught and
the amendment was adopted by the
necessary two thirds vote Through his
attorney Mr.. Rosewood served notice
that the directors would be held re-
sponsible for any loss resulting from the
new venture. The object of the change
is,sfn the language of one of those inter
ested"to enable the organized business
to back enterprises that may be largely
aided by the endorsement of the com
pany." 1t is we'll Gnown that the Amer
lean Cigar Co. is negotiating for the Ha-
vanaAmerican Co., and it is supposed
that the amendment was adopted tc
facilitate the acquisition of the proper
ty. The Havana-American Co. was
capitalized at $lO,OOO,OOO, but the stock
was never all issued.

Dizziness reigns in tobacco circles at
this time which is perfectly natural as
the great bulk of deliveries has been
made and farmers are busy with the
spring work-a good deal of the seed for
the next crop being already in the ground.
Several buyers have been riding in this
section but no reports of sales have
reached us. A. Ell. Clarke of Edgerton,
agent for Lynde Hamilton, of New York,
was here Wednesday sampling for j. s..
Hutson. L. We'll of New York, W. Nc
Intosh, James Conway and Ed Hubbell,
of Edgerton, have been looking after to-
bacco interests here part of the week.
M. G. Green has purchased 612cs of
'99 tobacco in Vernon county which he
will have shipped here about May 1st.
0. Ell. Hemsing has been receiving
during the early part of the week at Mt.
Horeb, Dane and other points in the
northern part of the county, and about
100 cases have been shipped to New
York from his warehouse in this CITY,.
Hub.

The absence of rain since the seed beds
have been laid has been very much
against getting an early stand of plants.
This, taken in connection with the heavy
freezes that followed the early sowing,
ought to cause growers to give especial
attention to their beds. Frequent wet
ting of the beds are essentially necessary
in the absence of rains after sprouted
seed has been sown. If the young
plants do not begin to show now on beds
planted before the freeze, better SOW
other seed without delay. Watch the
beds closely these days and keep the
young plants as soon as they appear,
coming forward as rapidly as possible.
Don't let single watering suffice, but
follow with dressing of liquid fertilizer
if necessary. The first requirements OF
successful tobacco grower is to secure
plenty of plants at the proper time for
transplanting. To do this means care
and attention to all the details. Don't
trust to luck entirely and expect to sue
ceed. Don't wait for rain either if your
beds need watering. The time for in
telligent work is now.

An experiment, or a series of expert
ments OF considerable Importance to to-
baccO growers everywhere will be under
taken by the United States government
this spring in the tobacco crop of the
Connecticut valley. Last year there
was a good deal of Investigating done in
that section of the country and it was
found that net near as much of the land
available for the cultivation of tobacco
was being used in Connecticut as might
be. Now the Windsor sands and the
loans along the Connecticut river afford
the best known soils for the profitable
cultivation of the plant. Investigation
by government experts last season show
ed that there is large additional area.
which with little irrigation. or some
special cultivation will be quite as val
liable. The work to be done this season
will be in the nature of further investi-
CATION and instruction of growers in Sc
curing some of the benefits from this
uncultlvated land. Some of it requires
special fertilization, and other areas need
water or something else, but the necessi-
ties OF the soil are in the main simple
and can be easily procured and applied.
When this is done the productiveness of
Connecticut will be largely increased
and the value of the states crop much
enlarged. Another series of experiments
will be conducted in the cultivation of
the plant, tending toward improvement
of quality. The government experts be-
lieve that much can be done toward
creating Sumatra quality in Connecti-.
cut tobacco, which will increase it's
value for wrappers. If this can be ac-
complished, and the experts think it
can be done easily and successfully,
there will be an added value given to
the Connecticut product. Wrapper leaf
is the most difficult to secure of the
proper quality. IL Connecticut tobacco
can be improved along these lines it will
be OF Importance to everyone connected
with the business. Growers in other
sections of the country will feel the
competition and if the experts succeed
there will be serious inroad made into
the business in other sorts of leaf. The
experiments will be watched with more
than ordinary interest, and if the seed
flavor can be cultivated out of Connecti-
cut tobacco and it's area SO largely in
creased, the possibilities suggested are
boundless.
