Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Very few sales are noted at this time
OF the year. The growers have their
hands full in getting the plants we'll set,
and are anxious to know whether the
crop will grow or not. Judging from
long experience, if the plants are of good
size and we'll set, they have a wonder
fully strong hold upon life, and will
thrive when it seems almost impossible
for them to retain their hold upon life or
to grow. The cool weather is an advan-
tage, and this week the air has been so
smoky that it serves as a shade for the
plants.
For some forty-siX days we have had
but few light showers; probably not over
half an inch has fallen, and the con-
stant wind has sucked up the moisture
rapidly. The ground is so dry that seeds
fail to germinate, and yet tobacco, from
all accounts, is growing and looking fair
ly well. Where it was well Watered when
set, and the plants were Of good size, the
power to resist a drouth is wonderful.
From present indications, the writer is
OF the opinion that the plants will throw
their roots we'll into the ground, and
when the rain does come the crop will
make a rapid growth. Many wells as
well as brooks are dry and water Is
scarce, SO it is feared some will econo-
mize too much in using water. If so,
they will surely regret it. Water is u.s.
ually cheap commodity, but in dry
times, such as we have now, it is quite
the contrary. Usually a crop of tobacco
that grows quickly is counted among
the best, as it is always very fine and
silky Don't forget to use the lime in
the fall II the leaf is fne, YET burns
black, it is not suitable for cigars.
Our correspondents write as follows:
North Hadiey: THE transplanting of to-
bacco is nearly finished II is standing
well, considering the very dry condition
of the land. Plants were in abundance
and of large size. II the conditions are
favorable from this time out, [ think
there will be good crop. Considering
the scarcity of old, desira ble tobacco and
the output of cigars, must say I do not
the market, if better prices
are not realized" Sunderland, June 2:
Tobacco setting is much harder on ac-
count of the exceedingly dry soil. Some
who have had covered beds are well
along with setting. Late uncovered
beds are not as good as usual The
plants are living wonderfully we'll, when
we consider the dry weather. There are
only three acres of shade grown tobacco,
the same as last year. "-Cultivator.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, June y, 1913.
Our home market was we'll sustained
during the week, the sales being fully
up to the usual figures at this season of
the year. In other localities trade ap-
pears to be somewhat dull. Of course,
these lulls can only be temporary, as ci
smoking and cigar making are going
on at an ever-increasing ratio. The sales
that have come to our notice were 100cs
by Walter S. Bare; 2O0cs sold by Croft
& Roland, and o00cs sold by Hershey &
Hoover; in all 1100cs. For the CORE
spending week of last year sales were
983 cases.
1t is with great satisfaction that we
note the arrival of the long-delayed and
long needed rainfall. On Saturday
night we had fine shower; not enough,
but still sufficient to give vegetation
new lease of life and start everything to
growing once more. 1t was also suffi-
cient to put the ground into good order
for tobacco planting, and no doubt the
farmers are hard at work the county
over What is now needed is continuous
fair weather to advance the plants rapidly.

A Hunch

To the property owners OF Guthrie:
Can you give a reason, logical, or
otherwise, why Guthrie with its many
railroads will not be within the short
space OF two years city of $4,000
inhabitants? Why 1t will not be the
retail and jobbing city OF the south
west? Why 1t should not with its
excellent railroad facilities erect a
cotton mill? It's in as good cotton
belt as any of the mill towns of
Georgia and bucket brigade"
would look awful good
Why the real estate opportunities
Here don't offer better investments
than other cities Of like size on
earth? Why the railroads are all se-
curing terminals and acreage proper
ty here, without it's meaning that
there is going to be something do
ing" Why you don't during this
calm before the storm" have Laux
make an abstract Of your property
so you can correct all flaws at. your
leisure? Many a good sale falls
through on account Of defects in titles
Yog experienced this during the little
furry of yesr ago.
THE best or prophets for the future
is the past" My hunch to you Is that
you govern yourself as above set
forth, generate a little enthusiasm for
Guthrie and youll soon realize that it
really deserves to be what It is--the
only "ci,y Of destiny" in the south

DID NOT NATERIALIzE
NegrO'S Name VIII Be Again

OF the nominations which failed Of ac-

those Of William d. Crum, the present
collector OF customs at Charleston. $.
c.. whose denomination is opposed be
cause OF his color. and William Michael
Byrne. renominated as United States at
torney for The district of Delaware
Crum's cOunrma lion was fought before
the Commerce Committee by the South
Carolina Senators and representative
delegation Of Charleston business men.
The committee made an adverse report
on the nomination, but President Roose-
welt. in the absence Of definite action in
accordance with his announced inten-
tion, will undoubtedly again send in his
name
Byrne resigned the district attorney

Republican ticket in Delaware. He was
defeated. and was reappointed by the
President. The Committee on the Ju-
dietary. TO which the nomination was
referred, by a bare majority made an un-
favorable report on 1.-THE Democrats

The judiciary Committee took no ac-
uon on the nomination of PaEe Morris

his term of Office as Representative had
not expired. and he was therefore in
