The Agricultural Department has is
sued table showing the condition of
the growing tobacco on august lst,
based on percentages. The figures re-
lating to the cigar leaf states show that
the crop has lost ground slightly since
July l, the average condition for the
United States on August being S29, as
compared with 65.1 a month ago. The
losses and gains in the cigar leaf dis
tricts have been various and widely dis
tributed. Connecticut shows notable
decline of five points, due to the unfav-
orable weather, and especially the exces-
sive rainfall. The New York crop is sta
tionary, while that of Pennsylvania
shows gain Of three points. The Geor-
gia crop has made a substantial gain of
eight points, while that of Florida has
declined three points. In Ohio there
has been loss of two points, and in Wis
consin gain Of three points. AS com
pared with the'corresponding date year
ago, the Connecticut crop has neither
gained or lost, while that of New York
has gained six points, and Pennsylvania
two points. Georgia shows an improve
ment of no less than twenty points, and
Florida of eighteen Doints-the most
notable in the table. Ohio is six points
below last years standard, and Wiscon-
sin shows loss of four points.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The return of warmer weather Is lm-
proving the tobacco prospects through
out the state. A good growth is being
maintained in all the undeveloped fields,
while the warm days are assisting in the
ripening in a most satisfactory degree.
The harvest is so we'll started that 1t has
now almost become general, and what is
needed to ensure full crop is three
or possibly four weeks immunity from
frosts, which is hardly reasonable to ex-
pect. It is not improbable, however,
that cool summer may give US hot.
long fall to maintain the average tenn
perature, in which event there is still
hope for good tobacco crop. One com
pensating result of the cool summer is
that it has given US relief from the usual
hail storms, for less damage from this
source is recorded than for many years.
The tobacco that is now being harvested
is going into the curing sheds of the av-
erage size and in sound condition. The
heavy work of the harvest will be on
next week. ~.

NEW YORK Auo - 1909


The past week has been a rather event
full one in leaf circles, inasmuch as it
signalled the first marketing of the nat
ural-cured 1902 domestic tobacco The
sale of these goods has opened auspic-
iously, and in manner that indicates
that packers holding good tobacco will
not find it at all difficult to unload.
Sampling in the country is progressing
rapidly, as is also the work of grading
the tobacco by the packers. A few of
the latter have almost or completely fin
ished these operations and are now show
noted in our news columns, out-of-toWn
and quite little new tobacco changed
time Connecticut Broad leaf holds the
center of the stage. Where great care
was taken in packing this tobacco, the
goods have sampled out in fine condi-
ticn; but packers who refused to throw
out sick tobacco at asserting time sim
ply because it cost too much, are now
showing line of samples that are not
pleasant to look upon. Owing to the
marked difference in many of the pack
ings, the prices being paid vary mater
tally. Some running lots wers sold at
from "a to 28c, while others brought
from 30 to 35c. Clean seconds are aver
aging about 30c. Light wrappers sold
from 40 to SOC.
Some advance samples of the 1902
Wisconsin Havana Seed have been shown
in the market, and if these can be used
as standard of Judgment, the crop will
be very good one. It is claimed that
that state will furnish binders enough to
make up, in part, for the shortage of
Connecticut binder stock. Two good
sized packings, amounting to a few
thousand cases, were sold from packers

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS, Aug. q, 1903.


A week of fine growing weather has
put the tobacco fields forward more
rapidly than any of the season, and
brings encouragement to the growers
that there is yet hope for something like
an average crop. The harvest is now
we'll under way in all the growing sec
tions, and the leaf hat is being housed
compares favorably with that of other
years. Dealers are riding while the har-
vest is on, making note of the most
promising crops for future reference, but
we hear of no disposition to enter into
contracts for purchase
a moderate business has developed in
the cured leaf market that is of itself a
more encouraging feature. Word comes
from New York that couple packings
of 1902 have recently been disposed of
there on packers samples. Gee Rum
rill reports the sale of 1853 cases of 1901
and 10 cases of 1900 leaf for the week.
Mcintosh Bros. have purchased 20 cases
of '0l, the A. Anderson crop. Conway
Bros. Il Co. received As cases 1901 from
growers at Mcfarland during the week.
The shipments out of storage reach
400 cases for the week past to all points
from this market

Connecticut valley Tobacco Market.

We are now hearing about damaged
leaf caused by sweating, as sampling is
now being done by very many packers.
This trouble is due largely to the pernic-
ious habit of sprinkling the leaf. If
growers and packers will continue to
soak down their tobacco with water to
satisfy their greed, they may expect
damage in sweating.
The present growing crop is very un-
even, and only continuous warm weather
will save the late pieces from disaster
This uneveness is found in all the cigar
leaf growing states, and from the same
causes, cold days and nights In some
of the lowlands in the valley light frosts
are mentioned, yet we all think we shall
get boiling hot weather before long, too.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Conway, Aug. 10: II was in hopes to
have seen a good hot August, but it has
not started off that way. | don't see
how the tobacco can grow with such cool
weather. Our thermometer indicated AZ
degrees. | am afraid we may get frost
the next full moon, as it is growing cool
er all the time. Late tobacco should be
the best if properly matured. A few of
our growers will commence harvesting
this week." Windsor Locks, Ct: "The
tobacco is somewhat uneven, as the
heavy rains affect some portions of very
many of our fields, together with the
cool weather. In some towns frost has
shown up" Hinsdale, N H., Aug. 10:
81 have no sales to report. There are
several fine crops in the growers hands
The growing crop is looking much bet
ter than one could have supposed it
would, with the cold days and nights. A
good share of the early set is topped and

A few cases Of cutting tobacco have
been reported, where the crops were got
out unusually early. It will be about
September 1st before tobacco cutting,
becomes general around here. Rain is
badly needed, and the prevailing cool
weather indicates a short crop of tooac-
CO this year.-News:
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-08-21

General tobacco conditions through
out New England have made consider
able improvement during the past few
weeks. While early set tobacco is very
uneven and still somewhat backward,
reports indicate that the late set tobacco
is likely to prove an excellent crop. AL
though early set tobacco has not made a
large growth, full number of leaves are
reported on the plants, so that the yield
per acre, is not likely to be much re-
duced. Fields have been remarkably
free from insect pests; many growers
state they have not seen a worm all the
year. Topping has been finished by
many growers and in few sections har-
vesting is under way.

have arrived skipped our market for the
time being, and went bargain hunting in

States Our market, anyhow, was not
quite ready to receive them with a full

The Plant Breeding Laboratory of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has entered upon one of the most
important and most interesting investi-
cations ever undertaken in connection
with the growing of tobacco. This work
is the breeding of plants that will repro
duce true to certain standard, so that
pedigreed seed will come into existence,
seed that will produce plants of uniform
appearance, bearing uniform number
of leaves of a desired shape plants &C
climated and sure to ri pen in due season.
The Havana and Broadleaf types of to-
bacco have been raised in New England
for so many years that uniformity has
been obtained as in other crops, and the
plants are accustomed to the climate.
The Sumatra paintings in New Eng
land, however, are of seed that is not yet
fully acquainted with the climate, and
although grown in hot-houses of cloth.
the Sumatra plants are sometimes sur
prised by their New England surround
ings, and express themselves by putting
out more suckers, arranging points on
their leaves, and otherwise departing
from a fixed type. Accordingly, the
work has been begun at Tariffville with
the Sumatra type of tobacco. although
the investigation is also proceeding to
some extent with the Cuban and with
the Connecticut Broadleaf grown in Tar
iffville. The head of this branch Of the
Department of Agriculture is Beverly T.
Galloway, chief of the Bureau of Plant
Industry, and under him is Herbert j.
Webber, Physiologist in Charge of the
Plant Breeding Laboratory. For the
work at Tariffville, A. d. Shamel has
been detailed This work by the United
States government, and the seed selec-
tion work being conducted at Poquonock
by DR.. E. Fl. Jenkins, director of the
Connecticut Agricultural Experiment
Station, will make the year 1908 of great
Importance in the contribution of knowl-
edge and the obtaining of an improved
seed supply in the tobacco growing in
dustry, particularly the shade-growing
branch, although the information obtain
ed will be available for work with the out
side crop. At Tariffville, Mr.. Shamel is
selecting and labelling plants having de-
sirable characteristics. and is conduct
ing systematic breeding of plants with
the different objects in view. The task
is one that will have to be carried on for
three seasons before practical results are
obtained, but it is not one that discour-
ages the department, because tasks of
seemingly greater magnitude have been
accomplished.

EVANSVILLE, Wis, Aug. 20, 1908.
The warm weather of the past few
days has made vast improvement in
the growing tobacco more especially the
late crops. It is spreading out and max
ing good growth. Many farmers who
were quite discouraged week or two
ago are now taking heart and hope to
pull their tobacco through all right.
Should we have a warm, late fall, free
from early frosts, the late tobacco bids
fair to be as good as any. 1t depends
largely on the weather.
Harvesting has commenced In mod
crate way and each day adds to the
amount put in the sheds. The early to-
bacco looks very promising and is ex-
ceptionally free from damage.
Local dealers are sampling some Of the
w and the samples are pleasing sur
prise to all. The tobacco has sweat well
and is of good color, and what is the
best, is very free from damage of any
kind. Many were fearful that the cold
weather of the past few weeks had re.
tarded the sweat, but, SO far as can be
ascertained, these fears are ungrounded
S. B. Heddles sampled 200 cases of '02
at Rio and 200 in this city and is well
pleased with the samples drawn.
Geo. S. McGiffin sampled 300 cases ol
O2 packed by Thayer & Rowe and re-
Gently sold to Fisher & Fisher 1t is a
fine lot.
Old tobacco follows the same rut it
has been in for several weeks past, and
is slow and quiet. F. S. Baines pur-
chased $50 cases low grades.
Harry Atwood, who has been with T
S. Baines for about year, has resigned
and accepted a position with an agricul-
tural implement firm at Minneapolis.
Nearly onehalf the firms in this city
are engaged in making strips and large
force is steadily engaged in that work.
