NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The planting season for tobacco ought
to be closed by the end of this week. 1t
is considered doubtful wisdom in the
opinion of most growers to continue
transplanting after the first week in
July. Even the 4th of July is consid-
cred the utmost limit by progressive
farmers who expect good results from
their efforts. A we'll known grower in
forms US that tobacco plants that can
not be placed in the fields on his farm
before the last week in June will remain
in the beds, for he will not take the
trouble to nurse late planted fields And
yet there is considerable land intended
for tobacco that is not yet transplanted
and in all probability it would be better
for the grower as we'll as the reputation
of the coming crop if these fields were
devoted to other crops. At the present
writing there seems likely to be short
age in the intended acreage of tobacco
this season for reasons discussed in this
column for some weeks past. The slow
growth of the plant is the main cause,
retarded by the extreme cool weather.
1t is somewhat of singular coincidence
that a season which has brought ideal
weather for transplanting should be
late one in getting the plants transferred
to the fields.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-07-03

this week the market is healthy in tone
and generally active. New tobaccos have
been moving with noteworthy celebrity,
and sales reported during the week ag-
gregate $50 bales.
Havana. Importers report steady
increase in the requests for samples from
out -of-town trade, while the business
done with city manufacturers has been
quite satisfactory. The position of i'm
porters is a strong one-much stronger
than most people give it credit for. The
supply of good tobaccos of all kinds is
limited, and prices for selections already
show hardening tendency. Manufact-
urers who are in need of tobacco and do
not purchase now will find they have
made a costly mistake before many
months have passed. A number of good
sized deals have been put through dur
ing the past few days, but these sales
are largely of speculative nature, most
ly between importer and jobber, and for
business reasons are given no unneces-
sary publicity. Leaf

EDGERToN, WIS, July 3, 100;


There is some transplanting of the
new crop still going on and doubtless
quite a good many implanted fields
though the time for having this work
completed is at hand. While the great
bulk of the crop is out and quite gener-
ally looking WE'LL there will be some
shortage in the intended acreage. The
early set portion of the crop is now max
ing rapid growth since the advent of
real summer weather this week. Scat
tering showers have fallen throughout
the growing sections assisting the late
set fields in an early root.
The cured leaf market develops no
new features light trade continuing.
Geo. McGiffin sampled several lots this
week for GAINESVILLE packers for the

After the unusually large sales of last
week, the general expectation was that
the present one would prove one of dull
ness, but, to our agreeable surprise, it
has turned out quite to the contrary.
The sales have again proved to be large
and we'll distributed among the trade,
and, what is better still, a very liberal
amount of the goods was of the 1902
crop, which shows the growing conf
dence of all parties in that crop. The
rest was of the 1901 crop, which is also
finding favor of late The sales that
have been brought to our notice are 323
cases sold by CRUDE & High, 1902 goods;
3OOcs of 1901 goods sold by John Long
necker; Isles of 1902 goods sold by A.
Miller; 56cs 1902 goods sold by Meis-
key & Holland; 20Ocs Ohio goods, sold
by [. Fl. Weaver, and 3OOcs bought and
275cs sold by Kramer & Goldberg; in all
1637cs. For the corresponding week. OF
last year the sales were 305cs.
The weather during the past week
was very favorable to the growing to-
bacco crop, save that there was not
enough sunshine, the week having been
cloudy ana cool The young plants so
far as we have seen them, are coming
along unusually we'll, although, as was
to be expected from the late planting
most of them are quite small. They ap-
pear to be much further advanced in
New England than in Pennsylvania.

The Milwaukee Horse Show

Five thousand dollars in cash prizes
will, be awarded TO winners at the big
horse show to be held in Milwaukee dur
ing the week commencing July Goth.
Few Edgerton people are likely to be in
terested in the event, but mention of it
is made because the managers promise
for it the greatest success of any horse
show ever held in America. Entries al
ready include many foreign horses and
drivers of the East. The Sentinel says
that the "horse show is likely to rub
some of the tarnish off of Milwaukees
reputation and give it new lustre."
There is crowd of bright, aggressive,
resourceful men working in unison for
the success of the event and they are
making things lively.
Entries for this big beauty contest will
close Monday, July 9Th.

caused by cut worms. Many growers
use little paris green as soon as the cut
worms show up. It takes but little to-
protect the plants, and it does the work
for the black rascals. It does no harm.
The leaves on which it falls are never
saved, as they do not attain any size and
they die off long before the plant is
ready for harvest. The crop shows
uniformity of growth that it would not
show if lots of plants were cut down,
and they ripen off together. [ have
known fields where the plants, more
than three fourths of them, were the
settings of five different stockings over
Some of it got ripe, while nearly half of
it was far from mature when it had to
be housed 1t is very important to have
plants get ripe. If there are some late
plants. the grower should nurse them up
with some ammonia or nitrate of soda
and thus force them along A small
amount of unripe tobacco detracts from
its value; then, by topping such plants
lower, you can remedy it somewhat. But
careful growers rather force the late
plants to grow. In a couple of weeks
topping will be commenced, as the plants
are growing rapidly.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Hadley, Mass, June Is: 'sThe tobacco
crop in this vicinity is at least two weeks
further advanced than at this time last
year. This condition is due to the fact
that growers were able to transplant
their tobacco much earlier this year.
Plants have advanced rapidly and are
looking fine since the rain. Plants set
by machines are said to do much better
than when set by hand. Cutworms and
wire worms are doing some damage in
certain localities, while in other fields
they make no trouble TIE crop in this
town is in a satisfactory condition.

employer and employee are but two
laws are as immutable as those of gravi-
tation, and that the principle of supply
and demand applies with as much force
to cigars and tobacco as to the wares
and merchandise of every other market.
1t never sees the mischievous results of
its own folly. 1t strikes and strikes un-
til manufacturers grow weary and give
up business. For four years there has
been steady decline in the number of
cigarmaking establishments, and in many
of these cases the cause was strikes and
other union maIfeasance.

The planting of tobacco for Jack Frost
to harvest is generally poor business.
There is always possibility that tobac-
co set as late as the 10th to 18th of July
may mature, but the chances are against
it. The growth is SO frequently small
and the crop harvested before it is thor
oughly ripe that it almost invariably
cures out dark, green and unsatis-
factory. It is the small, dark "tail
end" of crops that is the burden to the
tobacco buyers and causes more trouble
at selling time than all others. If grow
ers of this state would learn that early
planting is the only safeguard to obtain
ing good leaf, they have accomplished
something toward helping the reputa-
tion of Wisconsin leaf. 1t is good time
to start the reform this season, and chop
off the planting from this date.

The most noticeable feature of the
market this week were the large de-
mands and large sales of Sumatra. I'm
portations this year seem to offer not
only the most servjceable, but also the
cheapest Sumatra thsC has made it's ap-
pearance in our market for many a year.
And the recognized lack of suitable
wrappers in the New England Havana
seed crop is an additional inducement
for a more extensive use of Sumatra than
in any year since 1890. Not less than
800 bales were disposed of this week, a
quantity that compares only with the
record weeks OF the so called Mckinley
year. In domestic leaf the market re-
mains lethargic. Not exactly because of
a lack Of business, bat more because of
a lack of stock. For the market is pref
ty we'll cleared of old goods. In Havana
leaf the market is just holding it's own.
The sale of clean, old Remedies is not
being pushed, as very substantial ad-
vance on that class of goods is expected
in the fall. Factory vegas, of course,
find ready sale, but are scarce.-Jour-
nal.

The transplanting season is practically
finished, with only now and then be-
lated farmer who has not got through.
Generally speaking the plants are in
good condition and growing nicely. In
a few fields some of the late set plants
have burned out and resetting is being
done. Rain is badly needed, as the
ground is very dry.
IN old goods deal of large proper
tions is in the last stages of consumation
but not completed. Otherwise condi-
tions are about the same with the ex-
ception of an increased inquiry for ex-
port goods.

The season for finish of tobacco trans
planting is at hand. That the acreage
is considerably larger than last year is
certain, probably 20 per cent. Since the
first setting of plants there have been
numerous hindrances-ba weather,
frost, shortage of plants, etc. The work
of setting is now practically closed and
many fields are looking fine. From this
time forward it will require great energy
to keep the weeds down. In some sec
tions cut worms are making mischief
with plants. The number of tobacco
transplanters sold in the local market
this season, while not as large as last
year, tells of increased acreage.-Censor.

A short time ago this paper took occa-
sion to criticise the figures given by the
Department of Agriculture purpor:ing
to be the tobacco statistics of the coun-
try, and especially took exceptions at the
estimate given the Wisconsin crop. Now
comes the information from Washington
that stupenduous error amounting to
$23,000,000 has been discovered in the
official figures and revised table has
been issued. 1t is claimed by the De-
partment that the revised figures are
more nearly correct, but we are still of
the opinion that "fggering" done by the
Department clerks is still very wide of
the actual facts in many of the states,
for we notice the revision does not touch
those given originally of Wisconsin's pro-
duction. When asked for an explana-
tion of this great discrepancy, an official
of the statistician's office, in the absence
of his chief, made the following informal
statement: 1.-THE figures given in the
original statement concerning the aver
age value per pound of the product of
the several states represented the mean
of the reports returned to this office by
three distinct sets of crop correspon-
dents. They were, therefore. accepted
as reliable and published in the Crop
Reporter. The tobacco expert of this
Office was absent at the time these fig
ures were made up, and when they, were
shown to him upon his return, he at once
suggested that the values given were too
high in the case of the product of sew
eral states. He therefore sent out sup
Elemental schedules to our correspon-
dents in the states as to which we were
in doubt, and upon the returns re-
ceived on these schedules and the in
formation gathered elsewhere by our
expert, we decided to revise the figures.
The total reduction in value is unques-
tionably very great, and we find it nee
essary to state frankly that the original
figures were much too high" The De-
partment officials declare very siren
uously, however, that the data covering
acreage, yield per acre and total produc-
tion will stand the closest scrutiny.

In discussing the folly of the unions
AZ WIG LOOoCOO IAC Ns hcdl
concludes: Although expenses are larger
and competition keener than ever, the
cigar makers and tobacco workers un-
ions have apparently been doing their
best of late to make hard the lot of the
manufacturer. The latter is handicap
ped by his struggle against the growing
trust system. He needs all the cooper
alton he can secure; he needs it most of
all from his own employees. He receives
aid from every source excepting from
them, the very ones whose livelihood is
threatened along with his own. The av-
erage unionist, individually. is man of
intelligence and probity; but the aver
age union is a dotard-blind, decrepit
and doddering. Its formula is simplicity
itself-"More wages or strike" Lesser
hours or strike" Fewer apprentices
or strike and "Unionize everybody
else you employ or strike" 1t regards
employment as a battle, and an employer
as an enemy. Its highest aim is to get
the largest wage possible for the small
est possible work. 1t meyer realizes that
