With from one to two buyers riding
the growing tobacco sections during
the week the amount of tobacco actual
ly placed under contract is exceedingly
small. Some judges place it at 500
acres all told. The avowed incentive
of most OF those riding up and down
the country highways is to keep track
of what the other fellows are doing, and
at the same time hold expectations Of
growers up to such = Ii:ch that no on g
following could make trade. It's an
old trick, but justified by those who do
not care to see market started SO early
in the season. But it is try ing on horse
flesh and pretty expensive as well. Such
a proceeding must be intensely amusing
to the farming community, Tor only
small portion of the tobacco growers
care to dispose of their crops at this
stage of the game for they recognize
full well that unless their tobacco comes
through the season in proper condition
they could not deliver it under the con-
tract. Ii must be a mighty attractive
offer that is made them that will in
huence their determination to wait un-
til they have produced something to sell
before tying themselves up to the terms
of the usual tobacco contract,

A Big RACE FOR THE WEED

CENTER OF ATTRACTION.
Unprecedented Prices Paid for Growing
Crops-Frenzy for the Weed Coun-
try Districts Closely Canvassed.

There has been race throughout
Vernon and Crawford counties the past
ten days in effort IT, secure the
growing tobacco crop. The field has
been thoroughly covered by foreign and
home buyers and almost ANY old price
that grower might place on his acre
age has been agreed upon. Ii is report
ed that quite a percentage of farmers
have disposed of their prospective crops,
some of them before the plants We're
even in the ground II is indeed q pc
culiar situation. And the prices are
something tercel Nothing less than
ten cents has been paid, aud the aver
age is twelve to fourteen, some going AS
high as seventeen and eighteen cents
Nothing like it ever known before The
giving of options on part of some to a
stated date has operated in n measure
against straight contract buying

storms wGuld spare this crop; that
weather most favorable to the curing

ditions would continue the specu-
lative elements in the proposition might
in measure be eliminated But who
now can set himself up as prophet
enough to foretell all these things? If
all reports are true, there is nothing
attractive enough in the present eondi-
tion of the growing crop in the Vernon
county section where the chase is the
warmest, to warrant the buying scram-
BILE now being enacted. If this field
buying ends in disaster as many predict,
1t must eventually mean double loss,
not only in exhausting the resources of
the buyers, but the growers will surely
suffer in years to come. The hope of
fairly prosperous trade must lie in the
realm of saner business methods, and it
is gratifying that the larger operators
recognize this fact
