MIAMIsBURG, O., June IL. 1908.

1t has rained almost every day for sew
eral weeks, and work on the farm has
been seriously impeded. Tobacco plant
ing has been so interfered with that the
probability Of pitching an average acre
age this year is very unpromising. In
some instances tobacco plants in the
beds were destroyed by hail. while others
grew too large, and rotted while waiting
for the ground to dry sufficiently for ma
chine transplanting. At present, how
ever every available moment is being
utilized to transplant by hand, and if
the remainder Of the month should hap
pen to be favorable, we may yet be agree
ably surprised at the acreage.
Some buying in the country is still go
ing on, at 8 to 1Oc through for thinner,
and to &c through for Seed leaf
G. B. Baker, district inspector of work
shops and factories, swooped down upon
the tobacco packers of the valley during
the week and compelled the discharge of
all children under fourteen years of age.
In Miamisburg alone Is or 80 were
obliged to quit work. Although the en-
forcement of this law may in some in
stances prove blessing, it will cause
suffering in others, unless some discre-
ton is exercised.

\ number of the growers have finished
their transplanting and the prospects
now are bright for good crop this year:
The weather conditions have been favor.
able for transplanting, but there is a
scarcity of plants and there will, un-
doubtedly, be a decrease in the acreage
this year. At the warehouse of A.
Heinke choice packing of old Onon-
daga is being rehandled, about 40 en-.
ployees being engaged in the work. A
shipment of q cases was made to New
York Wednesday from Max Cans &
Sons warehouse, and on Saturday.. w.
Lee made shipment of 100 cases of the
1902 crop recently purchased by f. w.

The domestic leaf market came in for
it's share of general depression which
characterized the market this week.
Sales were few and of small proportions.
Sumatra.-Sales reported during the
week do not aggregate more than 250
bales. All houses report sluggish mar
ket.
Havana. - Despite the fact that no
large deals have been put through To-
cally, the market remains firm, with a
tendency to strengthen. One of the
signs of the times was the purchase by
New York house, in Havana, of 1000
bales of Remedies, which must bring in
this market not less than 60 cents to in
sure profit.-Leaf.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, June Is, 1908.
While the sales of cased leaf in the
home market have not been very large,
there was fair volume of business done
during the week, and it was fairly we'll
distributed among the packers. The
sales as reported to us are as follows:
Jacob Mayer sold llOcs of 1901 goods,
G.. W. Bitner sold 100cs 1901 crop, |. H.
Weaver sold 117cs 1901 crop, B. M. Now
cry & Co. sold 1OOcs 1900 and 1901 goods,
John D. Skiles sold 382cs 1902 crop, and
John Pennypacker sold SO boxes of 1902
goods; in all, 89lcs. For the correspond
ing week of last year the sales were 2335
cases.
It is with much satisfaction that we
report most favorable and acceptable
change in the weather conditions. The
rains have come at last in ample num-
bers and equally ample quantities. There
have been two or three quite heavy rains
since our last report, one of which was
general in it's extent, alone giving us
more than two inches of rainfall. Fully
81 inches have fallen during the week,
so that we are ready to cry enough for
the present. These showers have thor,
oughly soaked the ground, and farmers,
have taken advantage of the situation to
put out the greater portion of the crop
What is already out looks very good.
That planted by machine some weeks
ago looks very good, both as to size and
color, while the later planted, while small
in size, nevertheless looks healthy, and
for some time to come will have not hing
to do but grow. This week will no doubt
see the last plants set out. 1t is little
later than usual, but with a favorable
season there is ample time to mature the,
crop.

Secretary Wilson of the United States
department of agriculture, who recently
visited the tobacco raising districts in a
number of the southern states, has made
an important announcement. AS re-
suit of a soil analysis, the department
has found that the soil in parts of Texas,
Alabama and South Carolina is identical
with that of Cuba and other countries
which grow the very best qualities of the
aromatic cigar tobaccos. The depart
ment is satisfied that the same soil ex-
lists in Mississippi, Louisiana and Flor
ida. Ii the results sustain the depart
ments belief, the Importance of this
discovery cannot be over estimated.
About S10O0OOO0 worth of leaf tobacco
was imported from Cuba last year, and
more will be imported this season. The
department states that the southern
growers. can raise a crop of high-class
tobacco as easily as the cheaper grades,
which means they would obtain a large
increase in their returns.

The unreasonable cool weather that
has prevailed during the month of June
so far, while decidedly favorable for the
transplanting of the tobacco crop, like
wise has it's disadvantages. The delay
in the growth of the plants has been
perplexing to many growers who have
fields waiting for the plants to reach
proper size, and these circumstances
have prolonged the planting season most
of all things. The temperature several
nights during the week dropped dan
gerously close to the freezing point and
in low sags some markings of frost were
noticeable on corn and tobacco. 1t is
almost beyond the remembrance of the
oldest inhabitants when frosts extended
so far into the summer months. The
early set fields are not making much
progress except to get well rooted, and
corn is backward by a couple of weeks
at least at the present writing.

The acreage sown of Sumatra or shade
grown tobacco in Florida this year will
be increa sed by about 10 per cent; the
Cuba outside grown Or filler goods about
so per cent. OF the shade grown, about
25 per cent. will be grown under cloth,
and Is per cent. under shade. Except
ing the large planters, who do their own
packing and retailing, there is practi-
cally no tobacco in the planters hands.

New YORK, June 20, 1903.

The market does not show any signs for
the better or worse. No strong improve
ment can be expected anyhow, inasmuch
as the old stock of domestic leaf is near
extinction and the time for offering the
new one has not yet arrived. Sumatra,
with occasional sales of Florida, rules
the wrapper market, and stocks of old
Havana are being held back for an ad-
vance in price. In the meanwhile the
market is busy preparing for the coming
season.-Journal.

a company is being organized in
Washington for the exploitation of ci-
garette making machine which those in
terested declare will revolutionize that
industry. According to their claims this
new machine will do everything in con-
nection with the making and packing of
cigarettes from the time the tobacco,
paper and pasteboard is fed into the ma
chine until it is delivered in boxes of ten,
stamped with the internal revenue
stamp. The tobacco is fed into the ma
chine by girls, and cut into the proper
shape by revolving knives At the other
end of the machine are long rolls of
pasteboard and cigarette paper. The to-
bacco is rolled into the cigarettes, which
are pasted up and then dropped into
boxes made of the rolls of pasteboard.
The machine makes the boxes, top and
bottom, packs ten cigarettes in each box
and wraps it with suitable label and
affixes the internal revenue stamp. Each
cigarette is also stamped with the trade
mark. According to those interested in
the company, all the attendance required
is that of the girls to feed the tobacco
and of boys to carry the boxes away and
to pack them in larger boxes for ship

claimed by the inventor that this ma
chine is capable of delivering in boxes of

cigarettes an hour, or 10000 boxes in

The collector of Internal Revenue sub
mits to the Commission the proposition
of cigar manufacturing concern in his
district, who propose to deliver unstem-
med leaf tobacco from their factories to
the homes of certain persons who will
stem the tobacco for them, and such
persons propose to register as dealers in
leaf tobacco The collector states that
there are perhaps hundred families
who would so register and be furnished
employment in stemming tobacco by the
firm mentioned. The collector was in
structed that these persons stemming
tobacco for the applicants could not be
regarded as dealers in leaf tobacco un-
der the statute which provides that
every person shall be regarded as deal
er in leaf tobacco whose business it is
for himself or on commission, to sell or
offer for sale, or consign for sale on COM
mission, leaf tobacco. The collector was
further instructed that it would not be
proper for him to permit these persons
to register as dealers in leaf tobacco for
the purpose of receiving unstemmed to-
bacco from manufacturers to be stem
med by them and returned to the manu-
facturers.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The planting season has now been un-
der way for the third week through the
growing districts of the state and under
ordinary circumstances ought to be we'll
near completed. The weather conditions
have been at least as favorable all along
as could be desired for transplantlng
tobacco crop. Cool weather has pre-
vailed throughout, so there has been
but little willing of plants after being
transplanted to the fields, while frequent
showers have occurred to assist in giving
an early watering of the plants. Aside
from the inroads made on the newly set
fields by the cut worms, most excellent
stand has been secured. By the close of
the present week the bulk of the crop
will be transpIanted and the work prob
ably nearly completed in all sections
were it not for the delays occasioned by
waiting for plants OF proper size. In any
event July 1st will see the crop safely
transplanted to the fields and we'll
started in growth. This date, too, is
about as early as the average crop is out
in this state. What is needed most now
is warmer weather to push along a more
rapid growth.
