The problem of curing is one that re-
quires immediate attention. In this re-
spect Wisconsin is far behind other
states. Much money is lost every year
by tobacco growers because of faulty
barns and through the fact that the
grower is unable to control the tempera-
ture and moisture conditions during the
time of curing. The writer believes that
this unsatisfactory state of affairs can
be satisfactorily remedied and the grow
er reap a corresponding profit from his
crop The problem of fermentation is
also before our dealers, and it is the duty
of the state to aid in the solution of this
question. Individuals cannot carry on
extensive experiments, but the state can
and should do so for the general good of
of the grower and the dealer.

The departure next week of the repre-
sentatives of the leading Sumatra inn
porting houses to attend this years in
scriptions in Holland was the chief topic
of interest in our market this week. To
the phenomenal expansion of our cigar
industry the Sumatra has proven the
always reliable wrapper leaf. The past
few years it's consumption has increased
annually by ten Thousand bales over
what it used to be ten and fifteen years
ago under the lower and lowest rate of
duty imposed on leaf tobacco. Besides,
the business of importing it has gradual
ly concentrated itself in the hands of
comparatively few who have not only
the prestige of first-rate merchants but
who have also the means and enjoy the
credit for handling thousands of bales.
The Sumatra business has in conse-
quence become healthy and steadier and
the opening of the Inscriptions an event
of the first magnitude for the market.
If, as the reports have it, the crop that
comes into the market this year is by
2,4OO bales shorter than that of the pre-
vious year, some sensational develop
ments are likely to be experienced at
this years inscriptions. But the mar
ket of domestic leaf is not suffering in
the least by the somewhat nervous ex-
pectancy of the outcome of the first Su-
matra inscriptions. The contest for se-
curing the proper raw material in filler
and binder stock remains as lively as
it has been during the last few months,

almost certain to be- with us in week
or ten days. The sooner, the better.
The weed that has been handled by
our buyers is pronounced the best for
many years; fine fibre, soft and free from
dust and many of the evils it oftentimes
is subject to. AS high as 26 cases have
been packed by the fifty handlers at the
Eckhardt station.
Eckhardt received a large crop from
Crawford county, and many loads from
various points on the county line, while
a good many loads from around here GO
to Readstown and Viola.-Censor.

The tobacco industry IN this section is
nearing standstill, and if the roads do
not improve very soon, the second of the
three warehouses in this bity will be
forced to close We are informed that
there is enough tobacco in case to run
the houses into March, but great deal
of it is yet tn be delivered. Of course,
"case weather" is what the whole popu
lace is now looking forward to. Quite
a number of the sorters are out of en-
ployment by the closing of Helgeson's
Warerooms, and if the others are thrown
out it would mean at least 80 unem-
ployed tobacco workers. These condi-
ions will probably change for the bet
ter within a short time for the backbone

EDGERToN, WIS, Feb. "a, 1905.
With the advent of better weather
conditions greater activity has develop
ed in the growing sections. Buyers are
riding quite plentifully and both old and
new leaf is moving in considerable guam
titles again. Now that the cheaper
grades are being taken over the general
trend is towards lower prices than have
heretofore been quoted. Contracts have
been closed for good deal of leaf of late
at around &c or below that will permit
of an export basis. The following are
samples;

A. Onsrude, ga at 7, 615, 6&2c.

Fl. Hawkinson, Aces '01 at Sc.
E. G. Hopkins has purchased about
$4,000 pounds of new leaf in the western
portion of the state during the week.
There are some indications that the
soft weather of the week may bring
about the much desired casing weather,
but at this writing that condition has
not been reached. The amount of bun
die goods on hand at the warehouses is
becoming low and asserting must close
soon unless the balance of the hanging
crop can be removed and prepared for
delivery.
The shipments out of storage have
been liberal, % car loads, 1280cs have
gone forward from this market during
the week to all points.

Tobacco Experiments Conducted by the
horticultural Department OF the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
BY PROF. E. P. SANDSTEN.
The following lines of work have been
carried on by the Horticultural Depart
ment of the Agricultural Experiment
Station:
1st. The improvement of Wisconsin tobacco
seed so as to increase the yield and improve
the quality and early maturity OF the tobacco.
Ind To carry on series of fertilizer eXper-
iments with different commercial fertilizers in
various counties of the state
3rd. To study the effect of various CONNER
cial fertilizers upon the burning quality of the
leaf
9TH. To test the value of cover crops in con-
nect1On with the growing of tobacco.
9TH. TO ascertain the adaptability of Wis
consin soils and climate for the production OF
erence to the cost of production and quality of
the product.
IMPROVEMENT OF WISCONSIN TOBACCO
SEED.
The dealer as we'll as the grower of
Wisconsin tobacco has long felt that a
uniform type of tobacco leaf would
greatly increase the price and reputa-
tion of Wisconsin tobacco. To remedy
LuiS ENTHUSIASTICALLY Stdto VI w lSCouSlu W.
bacco the Experiment Station, after nu-
merous inquiries selected type of Con-
necticut Havana and by careful selection
has obtained reasonably pure and uni
form type of tobacco. A number Of
growers have tested the seed during the
past year. The result of the tests has
been very satisfactory and it is believed
that the type selected will prove of great
value to the grower. During the past
season the Department grew in the
neighborhood of $50 pounds, which will
be sent out for trial and testing during
the coming spring. During the past sea-
son Is varieties of tobacco we're grown at
the Experiment Station for the study of
the various types Of tobacco and for
breeding purposes. Over % crosses be-
tween these different varieties were made
ard the resulting seed saved for planting
the coming year. This work was under
taken with the idea of producing, if pos
sible, by pure breeding, new varieties
which would further increase the yield
and improve the quality. The writer
believes that we have not as yet found
an ideal variety of tobacco for Wisconsin.

EVANSVILLE, WIS.,, Feb. %, 1905.

The sales in leaf tobacco this week are
large and consisted principally of old
leaf. The tone of the market as whole
was stronger than it has been for many
weeks The cause for this condition of
the market seems to be the result of the
arrival Of case weather, and another rea-
son seems to be on account of the scare
ity of old goods, there being limited
amount of this class of leaf in this mar
ket at the present time. A better busi-
ness ought to prevail here now for the
balance of the spring and on account of
this scarcity of old leaf good price
ought to be realized by those having
packings on hand.
The following is the report of sales and
purchases from this market during the
week past: S. B. Heddles sold 215cs of
1902; John Soulman sold 43cs of 1901;
L. B. Carle & Son, 350cs of 1901 '2-'3 and
buy 250cs of 1901; Geo. Ell. Rumrill sold
530cs composed of 248cs of 1903 and 282
ton, two from Sun Prairie and three from
Cottage Grove, of 1904; M. F. Greene
shipped four cars of 1908, both binders
and filters; Fisher & Fisher sell six cars
of 1903 one of bundle goods, and an SOcs
lot of old leaf; S. Grundy sold 128cs of
1908; A. N. Jones shipped two cars of
old, and F. S. Baines disposes of 785cs of
1901 and 1903 and received II cars of
bundle leaf up to date of this letter
SToUGHToN, WIS. Feb. II, 1905.
The Courier reporter made a trip
through the various tobacco warehouses
the first of the week and found thiogs
humming at each and every place. in
fact all were busy as bees. We were
shown samples of the weed which is be-
ing run over the sorting tables and must
say same was the finest ever handled
here, especially that which was grown in
the northern part of the county. The
American Cigar Co. is employing Ito
hands and is the busiest place in the
town. They can make way on an aver.
age of about twenty acres per day and
will have to close down unless farmers
can get their crops to town this week.
Owing to the cold and drifted roads but
very little has been delivered the past
week. Among the sales the past week
we note the following: Nels Slinde, 8a
to Andrew Norman at 7c, Fred Mcneil,
Sa to O. K Roe at &c, and the following
to the American Cigar Co.: Menry An
derson, ga at Sc; Ole Seamonson, 20a at
7&71ac; Henry Olson, 13a at &c; John
Jorgenson, 8a at Sc; Ralph Watson, 0a
