Stalks as Fertilizer

1t is strange that farmers should spend
lifetime in the culture of tobacco, TAX
ing out scanty living caring for the
leaf, and never learn the value of the
stalk as plant and vegetable food, fed
back to the land, but such is true.
The tobacco stalk is the rarest plant
food (regarded as waste) that is known
to the tobacco farm, and yet seldom
utilized to any good purpose. The farm
er has no more right to throw away,
burn or dispose of his tobacco stalks
than he has to treat likewise his barn
yard or stable manure. Tobacco stalks
certainly belong to the farm where
grown, just as other manure, and no
planter can haul them away, or suffer
his renter or cropper to do so without
impoverishing his land that much, and
advertising himself as a poor farmer.
There is time in every farmers life, as
in every business mans career, when he
needs an accommodation, loan to tide
over an emergency, and il he is known
as practical, prosperous husbandman,
he finds no trouble in obtaining money
from his banker or forehanded neigh
Dor, and the farmer who is without this
credit owes it all to himself; for his man
agement is closely observed by neighbors
as by business men.
According to the authority of expert
chemists of various state experimental
stations, ton of tobacco stalks shows
an analysis which placed the fertiIizing
properties of the stalk at $3.50 to S17OO
in comparison to the prices of CONNER
cial or mineral fertilizers, and yet many
farmers think it nice little pickup
when they can pack half ton of stalks
on wagon and spend day marketing
the load for s3 or 81, and then pay three
or four tines as much for half ton of
mineral fertilizer to raise another crop
of tobacco, when the plant food is the
thing needed to produce quality. This
kind of thing makes Jordan hard road
for the farmer to travel, and yet how
many thoughtlessly travel it.

LANCASTER NEW ERA. Jan. 5, 1904.
The year opens, as usual, with slow
market. We are used to that, as a rule,
but when desirable goods are pretty we'll
sold out there can be no other result.
True. much of the 1901 crop is still here,
and we look for it to move off in the near
future, but the beginning of the year is
never marked by much activity, unless
there is something special to call it forth.
AS there is no surplusage OF available
leaf in the market, it would seem as If

While there are many disappointments
and unexpected occurrences during the
year just closed. American commerce in
tobacco was, if not entirely satisfactory,
at least better than what was predicted.
In exports there was diminution, the
average monthly expectation of leaf be-
ing S2,5O0000 against S2,9O0,0O0 in 1902
and 50, 100000 in 1901. Exports of man.
ufactured leaf averaged S434,OOO month
in 1903, as against $4,000 in 1902 and
S449,OUO in 1901. The heavy falling off OF
exports to Great Britain is due partly to
hard times in that country and partly to
changes in business methods introduced
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1904-01-15

by the Imperial and British American
Cigar Company. Before these corpora
tions were organized, enormous ware
house stocks were carried in the leading
tobacco centers. The increased con-
sumption by Germany, Netherlands and
Belgium are legitimate growth. those
markets having found no other country
which produced a leaf equal to ours.

This surely has been an old fashioned
winter. It began in the middle of No

requires damp weather above the freez-

cold, dry weather. It is hoped an early

PURE HAVANA TOBACCO SEED FOR FARMERS
The State Experiment Station has supervis
ed the growing of one acre of pure Havana to-
bacco seed, which will be distributed to the
growers of Wisconsin at a nominal figure, and
it is the desire of the officers of the Associa-
tiOn that the tobacco growers of the state at
tend this convention and secure pure seed for
the next years crop The Importance of pure
seed needs no argument and this will afford
rare opportunity for the tobacco growers OF
Wisconsin to obtain pure seed,
