The tobacco conditions of the New
England section are set forth by the
Homestead in the following manner:
It has been many years since SO much
Of interest to tobacco growers has en-
gagged their attention as this spring. In
the broad leaf section, where about $500
acres were raised, very little is sold and
what has been sold is bringing very low
prices. Packers evidently will not pay
all the tobacco is really worth, at pres
ent. The inaugural message of Gov.
Mclean, in which he recommended an
appropriation of $4,000 to be expended
under the supervision of the Connecti-
cut experiment station in the culture Of
tobacco under shade, is causing great in
terest. The governor recommends That
stations be established on the east side
of the river, another at Suffield and
third in the Housatoni valley, and the
Poquonock station be conducted as in
the past. Growers are not satisfied with
the result of the Poquonock experiment
last year, as only one third of an acre
was covered, and under it three varieties
were raised. AS Gov. McLean's home is
in Simsbury, a tobacco raising town, he
is more Or less familiar with the posi-
bilities of the industry if the expecta-
tions of the cloth covering enthusiasts
are realized. Some growers want but
one tobacco station in the state, claim
ing that DR.. Jenkins time cannot be
scattered too much and as it is limited
it should all be centered on the Poquo-
mock fields. Other growers desire him
to continue the study of calico In tobac-
(O hot IL
This latter, however, is hardly feasible,
as DIR. Jenkins time is so fully taken.

In reply to letter asking what restric-
ton, if any, is placed on the farmer for
selling unstamped leaf tobacco in small
packages to consumers, and whatrestric-
ton, if any, is placed on the dealer or
person who buys this tobacco from the
farmer for resale, it was advised. first.
that farmer or grower may sell and de-
liver leaf tobacco of his own growth or
raising, in it's natural condition, to any
person, IN such quantities as desired, but
that the farmer is not privileged to stem,

wise reduce his tobacco from the eondi- |
ton In which it was cured on the farm. |
tor the purpose of selling the same to |
and that all tobacco treated |
n this manner is regarded as a manu- |
Factured tobacco and subject to tax. 1t |
was further advised that the privilege |
farmer has of selling and delivering his /
without restriction is personal I
one, which he cannot delegate to an |
other person, and that any person not a

armer or grower to sell and deliver his

Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter,
Edgerton, Wisconsin.
NOTE BOOB SK BTOHEs.

The senseless damage scare concerning
the new Wisconsin crop is apparently
over After 3 sober, second thought the
trade brings itself to see how easily they
have been frightened at shadow, and
how entirely uncalled for was the occas-
ion for the alarm. The episode, however,
shows how easily it is to stampede the
tobacco trade, which is one of the most
singular things that pertains to the busi-
ness. No other trade or profession lose
their heads so readily, or are carried
away by the rumors of transactions or
savings of a few business associates.
Why it is so is one of those unaccounta-
BILE things that no one has, as yet, salts
factorily explained, and we have no dis
position to enter into discussion of them
here. 1t is a matter to be deplored,
however, that the tobacco trade is sub
ject to such eccentricities, but history
shows that it always was and doubtless
always will be disturbed by the ''bogy
man"

was said the Parkhurst Society had him

This was shortly confirmed by tho in.

the entire morning In the ONCE OF

Superintendent Collins Of the Monta-
ma Reserves in Helena.
Superintendent J. B. Collins of the
state forest reserves passed thr0 ign
Helena yesterday on his way hone
from Missoula to Bozeman, says the
Record. Under Mr.. Collins direction
are forty-one men, among whom ar.
sixteen rangers and one supervisor
in the Lewis and Clarke forest reserve
eight rangers and one supervisor in
the Flathead reserve; eight rangers
and one supervisor in the Bitter Root
reserve and on ranger in the Gallatin
reserve.
"Our force is smaller this year than
last" said Mr.. Collins yesterday, "but
in the absence of some emergency we
will be able to cover the territory
This summer we have been unusually
fortunate so far as forest fires are
concerned. It was not SO last season,
when in July we had number Of seri-
GUS forest fires that did enormous
damage to timber.
1.-The danger is not past, however,
this year. The forests are exceeding
ly dry and the only way to prevent
coriouc 1osc iS IN stOn the fires before
they get headway. Often this is diff
cult to accomplish. With the force
we now have at our disposal. it is i'm
possible to patrol the reserves as we
should. The rangers last year un-
doubtedly saved in timber many times
the expense of the patrol and it will
doubtless be the policy of the govern
ment in the near future to increase
the efficiency of the service"

Is of the Opinion That Lynching Increases
Crime.-Lynching Most Cease
Says the Governor. :

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 26.-Governor
Ayers announces that he will in TIC
future offer 5000 for each lyncher.
There was lynching yesterday. The
governor is considering whether he
shall issue a proclamation tomorrow.
When asked whether he though lynch
ings checked crime he replied:
On the contrary, they increase it.
All good citizens desire to find some
way in which to stop rape. It increas-
es whenever lynchings are resc"te'; u
Lynchings tend to develop spirit of
revenge. No people can be highmind-
ed and great who yield to the passion
for vengeance.
When asked his opinion of North
Carolina sentiment regarding lynching
he said he thought that a majority
was against it, but when rape is COM
mitted, If they don't actually partici.
pate in the lynching, will not aid in
prosecuting the lynchers." In conclu-
sion, he said lynchings in North Caro-
lima must cease. There will be full
investigation of this one.
Investigation into the recent lynch
ing of a negro in Elmore county has
resulted in the finding of indictments
against ten of the thirty persons al.
legged to have constituted the mob, and
several witnesses who refused to tes-
tify when called were placed in Jail
for contempt of court. These are the
first indictments against lynchers in
the state in many years.

NOTHING BUT PERFECT FRUIT.
Gratifying Result OF the inspection
Of Orchard Products.

Gratifying Result Of the inspection
Of Orchard Products.
A tour of inquiry among the fruit
dealers of the city shows that they are
almost unanimous in commencing the
good work done by the state fruit IN
spection board, says the Butte Inter.
Mountain. Very little diseased fruit
of any kind is to be found In the
Butte market; so little, indeed, that
one dealer expressed his Willingness
to pay a dollar apiece for all the
wormy apples or pears found in his
stock.
The term diseased fruit" may be
somewhat misunderstood. The fruit
is perfectly healthful to eat, but it is
of course not pleasantest to have to be
ON the lookout for parasites. The
main object Of the inspection is to pre-
serve the orchards of the state from
imported N SITS which lessen the value
of the produce. lessen the yield OF
kill the orchards entirely.
As most OF the retail fruit dealers Of
the city get their stock from the
Butte jobbe-s. handling few or nc
carload lots. they do not deal directl,
