Game Law PrOyision ons.

By virtue of new game laws farmer
can hunt on his own land without Ii
cense. Spring shooting of ducks, geese
and snipe is also allowed between April
ID and May 1. Thus important conces-
sions are made TO sportsmen, but the
provision forbidding the sale of game is
expected to do more towards its preser-
vation than fifty game wardens. Rab-
bits and squirrels can be sold and can
be shipped unaccompanied by the own
er. The law forbidding the hunting of
rabbits by ferrets is also repealed. BY
the present law hunter can carry so
aquatic fowls or % upland game birds
or two deer, but he must accompany
them and cannot sell them. Hence
there will be no more venison on sale at
butcher shops. and to get it one must
either go hunting or cultivate hunter
or coniscating game warden.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS. June Il, l9

EDGERTON, WIS. June II, l9O3.
The work Of transplanting a new to-
bacco crop is absorbing the attention of
the tobacco growing sections of the state.
With cool weather and few light show
ers the planting is going forward under
quite satisfactory conditions. Were it
not for the ravages of cut worms which
in some fields are troublesome. a most
excellent stand would be obtained.
Growers are now crowding this work
along rapidly as possible. for the plants
are generally in readiness for the fields.
The bulk of the crop, under favorable
weather, ought to be transplanted dur
ing the coming week. The damage to
plant beds during the long continued
wet weather may lead to shortage be-
fore transplanting is completed, but this
is only surmise at present.
Nothing has developed in the market
for cured leaf while the movement in old
goods remains light.
The shipments out of storage continue
light and does not exceed eight car loads,
35Ocs, for the week past to all poi nts
from this market.

MIAMIsRuRG. O.. June |. 1903.

During the past week it has rained
every day or two, and farmers are now
seriously Inconvenience with too much
rain as they had previously been with
the drouth. The first rain Stacked the
clods like lime, and cessation for few
days would enable them to plant their
corn and commence transplantiLg tobac
co; but plants are growing rapidly, and
there is danger that they may attain too
large growth and possibly rot in the.
beds if the rains should continue.
Monday night lightning fired the barn
and tobacco shed on the farm of Frank
Liggett, southwest of town. Both build
ings were destroyed, together with six
teen cases of tobacco, grain and farming
implements.
Wednesday evening a severe rain, ac-
companied by wind and hail, caused
slight damage in number of instances.
Some buying of the 1902 crop from
farmers is still INDUCED in.

The Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. has almost completed the payment
of the claims for rebate of tobacco tax
under the act of April II, 1902. This act
provided that where manufacturers and
dealers of tobacco had on hand tobacco
which had paid tax under the war reve-
nue. act to the amount of S100-the addi-
tional taxes imposed by the war revenue
act having been repealed-the dealers
were privileged to file claim for the diff
ference between the current tax and
that which had been paid on the tobacco
under the war revenue act. Down to
date 57,945 claims have been filed, of
which number 7,704 have been allowed.
AS number of the remaining 241 claims
have been disallowed, the bureau is al
most through with this work. The total
amount which will be refunded to the
tobacco manufacturers and dealers un-
der the operation of the act of April II,
1902, will be approximately 81, 900,
which has nearly all been distributed.

LANCASTER New ERA, June =, 1908.


The past week was a fairly good one
in the leaf trade, although the business
of the week was not we'll distributed
among the packers. Tobacco of all years
is moving The shipments continue to
be liberal. Goods purchased year ago,
and longer, but which were left lying
here in the warehouses, are now being
taken away by their owners. Manufac-
turers are evidently asking for leaf, and
that accounts for this special activity.
The following sales have been reported
to The New Era: John f. Brimmer sold
1O00cs of 1899 and 1900 goods; Dommel
& Co. sold 123cs, their packing of 1902;
B. M. Mowery & Co. sold 450cs of BIS
and la styles of the 1902 crop, and Sam
uel Sisel bought 400cs of the 1902 crop;
L. BAN mberger & Co. shipped eight car
loads of 1900 and 1901 goods; in ALL 1887
cases. For the corresponding week of
last year the sales were 265 cases.
The dry spell has, to some extent, been
broken by rains in various sections of
the country These, however, were in
most cases light, and, while they did
much good, they were not fourth part
of what was needed. Immediately
around the city there were three or four
showers during the past four or five days
but less than an inch of rain fell, all told,
which, considering the dry condition of
the ground, was only sprinkle. Some
localities in different parts of the coun-
try had fine showers, of which the to-
bacco planters are very prompt to avail
themselves, and good deal of tobacco
was set out The machine planters were
also at work, and one man, we learn. set
out 1900 plants without watering a sim
ole one

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market
Sales are infrequent and prices paid
by the spectators are very low. In one
town in Connecticut we have noticed
that some of the leaf was used as a fer
tilizer, and crops were sold at from | to
&c pound. We are not posted as to the
cause, but presume it was pole rot or;
something like it. Of late years we have
parties who pick up all the waste of the
asserting houses. Much of it is exported
and used for some purpose. In one town
in Connecticut the brothers Hartmann
will raise more shade leaf than they did
last year, when they had 25 acres. This
year they will grow 42 acres under shade
and 10 acres of seed leaf in the open.
They will try two acres of seed leaf un-
der shade, in hopes to improve it.
From every side we hear the fact
stated, that machine set plants will live
and grow far better than the most care
fully hand set plants. It is probable
that the acreage will be nearly, if not
fully, up to last years crop.
Our correspondents write as follows:
CRANKY, Ct.: Most growers are busy
setting tobacco Plants under protec-
ton are large and abundant. The work
of setting, even though with II machine,
is difficult, the land is so dry and dusty.
The plants live and start to grow much
quicker when set with the machine in
stead of old hand method Our farmers
should take more pains in growing cigar
leaf 1t is all important to grow good
burning leaf. If it has a NICE clean,
white ash, it is more salable, even
though it has other defects. So | ad-
wise the use of lime in our fields devoted
to raising cigar leaf" Ellington, Ct.:
I'VE have sold more of our tobacco than
has our neighboring town of Somers.
There they have sold but portion of
their crop, but they are holding for bet
ter prices, which, we think, must prevail
after the force sweated stock is out of
the way" Wethersfeld, Ct: 1--WE have
had no rain to speak of for six weeks.
Business in the tobacco line is rather
slow. No one has set out yet that I have
heard of, although some have plants
that are large enough. There will be
about the usual acreage set. There is
none under cloth raised here" Suffield,
Ct May 81: 1--WE are suffering for the
want of rain, only two Little sprinkles in

planted, and potatoes are very uneven.

The tobacco growers in n. E., who are
interested in the movement to form N
E. tobacco growers corporation, should
be encouraged by the success which the
tobacco growers in the central southern
states are meeting with in their organi-
zation., When the hurley tobacco grow
ers in Kentucky first spoke of organiza-
tion, they were laughed at and were told
that such organizations always failed. It
was also stated that it would be impos-
sible for them to gain control of ma
jority of the crops of growers. and that
unless they did, they could not possibly
succeed. In spite of this fact, the or
ganization has been pushed actively for.
over a year, with the result that over
1000 growers have pledged their crops
to the association. AS soon as, 10000
growers have pledged their crops, the
organization will be completed and the
growers will practically have control of
the hurley market. The officers state
the 10000 growers will be pledged with
IN the next few months. Affairs have
progressed so favorably that the organi-
zation has been incorporated under state
laws and the directors are negotiating
with warehouse companies to handle the
crop. When over 10000 growers, scat
tered over five states of large territory,
have been able to organize, it should be
possible for 5000 growers in two states,
living near together, to do the same.
What has been done in Kentucky and
adjoining states on large scale, can
surely be done right here at home on a
small scale.-N. 3. Homestead.

NOTE EOOK SKETCHES.
Edgertoa,


The planting of another tobacco crop
is now we'll under way in all the growing
sections of the state. This week and
next is the usual almanac time for trans
planting the bulk of the crop in this lat
itude. Tobacco set around this date is
counted early transplanting and under
ordinary conditions will mature before
September 10Th and be shielded during
the warm weather that helps bring
about the bright colored leaf so much
desired. Western growers have become
convinced of the advantages of early
setting even though the later fields
sometimes produce heavier yield and
the effort of late years has been to get
out the crop at as early date as posi-
BILE. Their farm work is so timed as to
turn all their labor toward this end when
the plants have attained the proper size
for transplanting in the fields. Weather
conditions and the advancement of the
plant beds of course vary the time of
commencing this work but the aim is to
get the planting of the crop we'll under
way by June 10th. Then where large
acreage is under cultivation this will
allow latitude of from two to three
weeks to get the crop into the fields, and
lengthen the time for harvest later in
the season.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-06-12

Complaints are quite general where
transplanting has commenced that cut
worms are doing more damage than for
a number of years past. This is partially
accounted for by the wet spring that
brought to the tobacco field growth of
green stuff to be turned under that was
especially favorable to the propagation
of these pests. 1t has been impossible
to keep the fields free from weeds, grass
ETC., as in other seasons, and as conse-
quence innumerable cut worms come to
the surface as soon as the plants are
placed upon the fields. The fight to
keep good stand upon the planted
fields is now on.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-06-12

Where there was promise all along up
to few weeks ago of an abundance of
plants, some growers are already com
planning of q shortage. Slugs have de-
stroyed the plants upon good many
beds, while the long spell of cold, wet
weather caused the plants to rot in other
cases. The most forward beds where
the plants stood too thickly is where the
rotting has caused the greatest loss.
Carelessness on the part of growers in
not removing the canvas covering dur
ing wet weather has led to the trouble.
At the present writing it is not known
whether there will be a shortage of
plants, but it is already certain that the
outlook is not as promising, and plant
ing in some instances will be delayed on
account Of plants.

things which makes spring so delight
full Early in the morning James
friends called for her, and they
went away together full of youths
enthusiasm and anticipation. They
took the road to the river, and to the
sound of music and the falling and
dipping Of the oars they reached
Richmond and soon spread the con
tents of their hampers upon the grass
under some great oaks in the seclud-
ed park.
After happy, leisurely meal, they
spent the rest Of their holiday in wan
dering through the palace, until its
melancholy monastie grandeur sub
dued them almost to silence.
1t was like passing from death
unto life to come out of these cayerns
into the light and glory of the west
ering sun, to feel It's warmth, and see
its brave colors, and hear the cuckoo,
like wandering voice among the
trees. Soon they were at the river
stairs, and as they passed through
the city they were instantly aware Of
great excitement. 1t was impossible
not to feel that something Of great
moment had happened, or was going
to happen; and when Jane entered
the hall at Sandys and saw Doctor
Verity's hat and cloak there, she ex-
pected that he had come with in
formation. The next moment Mrs.
Swaffham came hurriedly forward.
Mother" cried Jane, what is the
matter? What has happened?" And
Mrs. Swaffham answered;
"The strangest thing that ever hap
pened in England"
Even while she spoke they heard
Gen. swaffham coming up the steps
the clatter Of his arms emphasizing
his perturbed feelings. He had
scarcely entered the door ere Doctor
Verify came into the hall crying:

"Quite true"

morning, that settlement of some
kind must come to-day When
reached whitehall found the Lord
General waiting for Sir Harry Vane
and the members who had promised
to come and continue the conference
relating to the bill early in the day
The General was occupying himself
with book, but as the hours went
by he grew restless and laid it down.
Then he turned to me and said
Truly these men are long in coming;
are you ready, General?' and before
could answer he asked again ready
and willlng? told him a word
would move my troop as one man,
If that word came from himself, and
he waited silently little longer.
Then Lord Clnny Neville came in
very hastily and said few words, /
know not what they were, and he had
scarce gone when Col Ingoldsby en-
tered, and there was no secrecy then.
My lordn he cried, Parliament
is sitting at this moment, and Sir
Harry vane, Sidney and Henry Mar
ten are urging the immediate pass
age Of the bill SO hateful to the
whole nation.
Then Cromwell reused himself
like an angry Hon. His passion at
this perhdious conduct leaped into
name, he shouted to Lambert and his
own troop Of Ironsides, He gave me
the signal I understood, and we went
quickly to the Parliament house
but what then?" asked Doctor
Verify, his face burning with the
