The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1905-10-20

The Crop Reporter of the Depart
ment of Agriculture issues statement
on the condition of the tobacco crop up
to date of October 1st. The statement
is of special value, owing to the fact that
in nearly all sections it represents the
condition of the finished crop, and thus
affords a basis for trade conditions. The
average condition throughout the Unit
ed States on October / was 858, as COM
pared with $50 on corresponding date
a year ago, gain of two-tenths. Since
September l, however, there has been a
gain of seyen-tenths of point As
compared with the ten-year average the
improvement has been much greater,
amounting to 81 points.

LANCASTER, PENN, Oct. 10, 1905.
Last week was another good one for
tobacco growers, and good many crops
were bought, the prices running from
1114&3 up to 14&3c. Some OF the deal
ers say they are quite willing to pay the
high prices asked, but express the hope
that the farmers will give the most care
full attention to preparing the tobacco
for delivery, as that will be the only way
to keep up the reputation of our goods.
1t will be to the mutual advantage of
grower and buyer. The weather, re-
Gently, has been all that could be desir-
ed for forwarding the proper curing of
the crop. It is estimated that fully rs
per cent of it has been sold.
Little, if any, of the 1904 goods are
now in the hands of the local packers,

not much going under or over those
figures.

of age. He first became president or
| the United Mine Workers of America
| at twenty eight This achievement was
| reached without any OF the helps uSu-
ally believed to be necessary to young
men TO get on in the world His father
was a poor miner before him. John
Mitchell's mother died when he was
two years old, and his father went
four years later. A stepmother raised
the boy, who ran away from home at
eight. What little schooling he had
was received prior to that time To-
day he is considered a we'll educated
man, writer of books. magazine and
newspaper articles and speaker of
acknowledged ability. But what he
has learned has been by night study
and by reading the book of human life.
Early he went into the mines. Per-
haps it was in his blood. He began as
door tender. He decided to see the
world He went from state to state,
picking up jobs in the mines to pay his
way. At one time he drove mules in Il
mine in Colorado; then he went to
Mexico. Eventually he drifted back to
his home at Spring Valley, ILL.,, where
he still lives.
At an early age he went into a labor
organization, the old veteran body
known as the knights of Labor. After
i time he became secretary of local,
then of a district organization. Later
he was on a legislative committee to
secure the passage OF Il law demanded
by the workingmen. He succeeded,
and his success started him in his ca
reer. About this time he married, his
wife having the good Hibernian name
of Catharine O'Rourke. Mitchell is
Irish himself, though his speech scarce
ly betrays the fact. More than ever he
buckled down to study. When n man
works ten or twelve hours in a mine
he has not much heart in him to inn
prove his mind, but John Mitchell had
too much will power to be deferred by
little obstacle such as this.
