Tobacco In Paraguay.

According TO consular report on
the trade and commerce of the repub-
lie Of Paraguay, considerable efforts
have been made Of late years TO i'm.
prove the quality and method of pre-
pairing Paraguayan tobacco. and II
would seem that these efforts have
met with a certain measure OF success.
The principal market for this tobacco
rs Bremen. where. during the year
under review, 12,202 bales. weighing
l50 tons we're sold ut prices varying
from Ave To six cents a pound. At
tempts are being made 10 introduce
Paraguayan tobacco in other European
markets. and the French government
has, through It's diplomatic agent in
Paraguay, purchased two conslgn.
ments. which are said to have been
found satisfactory. The cigars manu-.
featured there are not made with suf-
nCieat SKIN 10 command sale In Eu-
rope but the tobacco Is sound and
well.tasting. That there Is no market
for Paragudyan tobacco In England Is
partly due to the fact that the tobacco,
being improperly dried, arrives In
Europe In moist condition, and subse-
quently loses its weight In keeping.

HEAVY WHEAT
AND MILLET
I Saws .he Dakota Farmer il recent

Says The Dakota Farmer in a recent
issue: -,
Talk about millet hay in Dakota
Mr.. Pond, of Churchs Ferry, N. D.
rer orts yield of ss0 tons on fifty
acres. We saw a bundle of this hay,
and it was as fine as we ever cav.
Of course, to ;, iald this way it had to
grow pretty tall, but it was very fine,
well leaved and nicely cured. being
green from top to bottom. Mr.. rond
puts mis- millet up in large cocks,
topping them out we'll while the mil
let is still pretty green He also be-
lieves it can be put into tie barn
much greener than most of us do.
The trick of growing this very
heavy crop, we think, lay largely in
the way the land was handled It
was plowed deep, and plowed early
the fall before. Several times before
winter, and as early and often the
next spring before sowing as possible
the ground was lightly dicsed or we'll
dragged. 1t was handled, in fact
much as summer fallow or prospect
i've corn land should be. All the mois
ture was thus retained. Twenty
quarts of seed were sown to the acre
about May 20. The year following,
wheat grown on this millet ground
was even better than what might be
expected from the best cared for sum
mer fallow of com land, going about
forty bushels to the acre after being
pastnred more or less till June II.
1t is needless to say that the seasons
we're very favorable ones for both
wheat and mlllet.

There will be a change in the firm

solidation of the two general stores
with Morg ridge & McDevitt in COM

thing, but would make an ex ceeding
