Circumventing Late Frost.


Last spring our early potatoes had
their tops completely blackened by
late frost Very early the next morn
ing. before the sun shone upon them,
we had the tops moved off level with
the ground In short while new foil
age grew up, and the yield from this
field of potatoes was very good. We
heartily recommend this method Of
treating frosted potatoes, says Farm
Journal.
The most serious difficulty we have

A Corn Growing Contest
For Boys.

The Missouri State Board of
Agriculture cooperating with
the Agricultural College and
the State Corn Growers Assoc
citation will hold a Corn Cou-
test for Missouri boys in con-
nection with the 4th annual
State Corn Show to be held in
Columbia the second week in
January, 1907.
There are to be two classes of
prizes for the boys, one for
boys Is years of age or younger
and another for boys more than
Is years old and under 20. In
order to give a number of boys
an opportunity to get in on the
premiums at least Is or 20
premiums will be offered in
each class. The highest premi-
um will probably be 500 in
cash.
Every boy who reads this let.
ter and who wishes to enter
this contest should apply at
once to Prof. M. F. Miller,
Columbia, Secretary of the
Corn Growers Association, and
will be furnished with a copy of
the rules for entering the con-
test. Where good seed corn can
be secured in the neighborhood
it is adVisa BILE to take the kind
of corn that has proven the
most successful, but If no i'm,
proved corn can be obtained
then small amount of seed
will be furnished by the Agri-
cultural College upon applica-
tion to Prof. Miller.
Corn is the principal crop in
most every county in the State
of Missouri. and it is with a
view of arousing a general in
terest in the improvement of the
corn crop in both the YIELD and
quality that this demonstration
will be held, and also for the
purpose of getting the farmer
boys of the State interested in
scientific Agriculture.
Every county should organ
ize a local corn show and corn
growers association, and the
citizens of the county should
aid this movement by offering
premiums for exhibits at these
local corn shows.
The State authorities do not
propose to offer any premiums
at the local shows but will
award premiums for exhibits
only at the State Show. Nc
boy should be deferred, how
ever, from making an effort be-
cause his county is not organ
lied. Every boy who desires
enter the contest will be given
the opportunity, but it will be
better if a number of boys from
the same neighborhood can en-.
! ter the contest.

LANCASTER, PENN, April 2, 1906.
The delivery of the 1905 leaf is prac-
tically finished, the few crops unsold be-
ing small, and the packing will be COM
pleted within another week. The ware
houses contain about $4,000 cases, which
put 100000 in the pockets of growers.
Conservative packers say the packed
leaf will bring 80 cents. No sales of con-
sequence were made the past week.
That portion of the 1905 tobacco which
still remains in the growers hands is be-
ing very rapidly delivered. OF the York
county tobacco which has been pur-
chased by Lancaster dealers, nearly all
has been received by the local ware
houses, and the packing season will soon
be drawing to close.
There have already been few sales
of the 1905 crop, and big as it appeared
to be, it is stated on good authority, the
demand for the goods is so great from
every section of the country, that it will
not remain long in packers hands.
There is variance of opinion in re-
gard to the activity in the cigar trade.
From some sections business is reported
as fairly brisk, while in others, some
hands are being laid off. The cigar box
manufacturers are not particularly rush
ed, and when that is the case, it is US
ually safe to say that the manufacturers
are not over -burdened with pressing or

The Broad leaf fever has seemingly
taken a firm hold upon New England
growers in towns which have not in re-
cent years cultivated this strain of to-
bacco. The Broad leaf sentiment is
probably due entirely to recent sales of
choice Broad leaf at fancy prices. In
most cases, however, the sales we're for
assorted leaf and not tobacco in the bum
die, a difference of condition which rep
resents several cents per pound in the
same crops of tobacco. The present
season is the fourth in which top prices
have been paid for Broad leaf tobacco.
The popularity of Broad leaf tobacco,
which has been deemed merely fad,
would seem to be firmly esta ablIshed, es-
pecially as there is no question that the
Broad leaf is merltorious tobacco, hav-
ing a flavor and aroma second to no 9th
er American leaf. Broad leaf has also
been cultivated with splendid success
under cloth, and large increase in the
tent grown Broad leaf acreage is expect
ed in the next few years.

More TubercuIos;s cattle slaughteret


Three car loads of COWS, all from Deer
field and Marshall in Dane county, num-
bering in all lis, were slaughtered for
tuberculosis in Milwaukee last Saturday.
They had been previously condemned
through the tuberculin test by the state
veterinarian and when killed were found
so badly diseased that the carcasses
could not be used for food. 1t is evi-
dent that the dairy farmers of Wisconsin
are waking up to the danger of letting
this disease spread among their herds.
There is farmer in this township who
sold COW to one of the butchers in this
city year ago. When slaughtered she
was found to be badly diseased with tu-
berculosis The butcher made the farm
er refund the money and told him it was
likely his whole herd was diseased, but
the farmer has gone right along as usual
and has done nothing to check its raw
ages The idea of hiding the trouble is
frequently practiced by farmers, but it
is a most foolish one. Fort Atkinson

The peculiar and extraordinary con-
ton of the phenomenal circumstances
that are hedging the cigar industry. The
visible shortage in supply of leaf and the
steadily advancing price of the raw ma
terial are not due to the manipulations
of any speculative genius nor as it is be-
ing so foolishly and thoughtlessly gos-
siped to the cornering of the supply by
the trust, but are directly and openly
traceable to the inordinate consumption
of the products of our cigar industry
and to the proportionately inadequate
increase in the production of the raw
material. After the brisk advance in
the output of our cigar industry during
the past two months of the current year,
an advance fostered by the exceptionally
mild and open winter, it was generally
expected that March would show ret
rogressive movement, the more so as the
severity of the entire winter exerted it
self during that month. Now, however,
since the returns from the leading cigar
manufacturing centers are in for that
month"; the month of March has proven
no exception 10 the steady advance of
the output of our cigar industry. 1t, too
shows record breaking output over the
same period of any previous year, at
least as far as the three leading cigar
| manufacturing centers are concerned,
namely, our Metropolitan districts, the
| ninth and first Pennsylvania. Such an
exceptional showing will make the leaf
market condition still more difficult.
| The business of the market is in fact one
of constant activity. Houses that are
| blessed with stock are overrun with or
ders, while it is true enough that many
| houses have but little of old stock to dis
pose of at any price The interest for
the present centers in the new Sumatra,
which for once confirms all the good
qualities that previous reports bespake
for it. The Sumatra inscriptions are
/ following each other this year in rather
close succession, but there seems to be
little danger that the American market
will outbuy itself. We used to import
from IS to 40 thousand bales year when
our annual consumption hardly reached
10000 bales. But as last years actual
consumption amounted to $4,000 bales,
an excessive surplus considering the linn
tied quantity suitable for the American
market is hardly likely to run in from
this years inscriptions.-Jou
