"suckerless" Tobacco.

w. w. Cobey, tobacco expert of the
bureau Of plant industry, in recent in
terview in the Louisville (Ky) Times
outlined the bureaus efforts to secure
tobacco free from suckers in the follow
ing statement:
"Our method of developing sucker
resistant strains is simply one of pure
selection. We select the plants in the
field which show the greatest resistance
to the sucker habit, and save the seed of
these plants, free from cross -pollination,
for planting the following year. We save
the seed of each Individual selected
plant separately and plant them in rows
the next season, and select our plants
for further breeding from those rows
which show the greatest sucker resist
ance, selecting, of course, in every case,
we'll developed plants, which are COM
paratively free of suckers, and wherever
we can find plant producing no suck
ers at all, of course this one is selected
as the parent plant for breeding pur-
poses.
"By following this method of careful
seed selection and making very close and
detailed observation, year after year, it
seems to be possible to develop type of
tobacco in the course of two Or three
years which will produce very few suck
ers, and at the same time will give a
larger growth Of leaf surface and larger
number of leaves. In this way we are
enabled to improve the quality and in
crease the yield of most varieties Of to-.
bacc0 !"

hardly supply even local needs is evident
alone require 100000 bales yearly. Ap-
peals to the Cuban government have
come from all parts of the afflicted dis
tricts. The remedy most in favor is to
render both direct and indirect aid to
the devastated districts. 1t is proposed
to execute system of public works that
will prevent recurrence of the overflow
of the rivers so destructive in some dis
tricts, in addition to giving employment
to many hands that usually find work in
the tobacco fields. The outlook is ex-
tremely gloomy, and the scarcity of
seedlings" blights the last hope of the
early recouping of the losses suffered.

A New Firm in Milwaukee.

The Schmitt Bros. Tobacco Works is
the title Of new firm which has been
launched in Milwaukee. They have in
corporated with capital stock of $4,000
ard the incorporators are M. E. Schmitt,
G. M. Schmitt and G.. w. Walter. They
are introducing cooperative PROPOSE
tion to the retail trade that is expected
to prove good returns in the rapid intro
ducton of their brands and the further
ance of their sale. They will issue pro-
fit sharing certificates to the amount Of
$4,000, in shares of one dollar and up
wards, which will equal practically re-
bate of five cents per pound to the re-
taller. the certificates being redeemable
in cash for their face value plus divi-
dends.

Scrap IObaccO a Fixture.

A tobacco manufacturer recently ex-
pressed his belief that scrap chewing to-
bacco has become a fixture in the trade
and its manufacture would continue to
grow. He also insisted that there is
identity in the different brands, which is
recognized by consumers. A number of
the local manufacturers, whose output
has been curtailed by the prevailing
high prices, have about reconciled them
selves to the changed conditions, ard
will wait until the next year before they
make any special efforts to increase their
output. They are paying from IA to 16
cents pound for cuttings.

NEW YORK, March 81, 1906.


Nothing startling, nor anything of i'm
portance is nowadays happening in the
leaf market. Stocks are being absorbed
whenever offered for sale and there is
not much haggling about the prices
either. The situation of the inadequacy
of supply and the natural advance in
consequence of price is now being fully
recognized by everybody. From this ex-
ceptional situation the low grades are
profiting to proportionately larger ex-
tent than the standard grades of leaf.
No such housecleaning of "storekeepers'
and sweepings and dirt was known to
ever have taken place before. 1t is the
old story of crowd wanting always to
be in rush while in a falling market
every body is apt to hold back for still
further decline. The news from Amster-
dam is anything but encouraging for a
break. Prices at yesterdays inscription
seem to have advanced nearly 80 per
cent. over those prevailing at the first
inscription. Any further advance will
force the Sumatra wrapper nickel cigar
up to price which would hardly leave
living profit to the retailer. The only
consolation in the soaring of prices for
this new Sumatra seems to lie in it's ex-
traordinary yield and its general periec-
tion.-Journal

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN Wis. April 6. 100,

EDGERTON, WIS.,, April 3, 1906.
A few more packing houses have closed
the seasons work during the week and
the end of tobacco handling Of the 1905
crop is now almost in sight. Packers are
largely engaged in figuring up the cost
of their holdings and cleaning up the
odds and ends about the warehouses for
the summer vacation. The local mar
kets are almost bare of transactions of
any moment, though there is still plenty
of inquiry for cured stock and were it in
hand business might be done.
Indications of spring are at hand and
growers are making some preparations
for starting the plant beds for another
crop.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 500 cases, 10 car loads, from this
market to all points for the week.

LANCASTER, PENN, March 26, 1916.
Very little of the tobacco crop of 1905
now remains in the hands of the grower
and the bulk of the crop is in the ware
house. AS rule, the small dealers have
finished their packing and the big pack
ers will finish their work within the next
two weeks. Not for many years has
there been so little friction between deal
ers and growers as this year in the deliv-
cry of the crop, fact due in large
measure to the pains the dealers have
been at the past year to show the grow
ers that their interests were to a large
degree mutual
Very little tobacco was reported as
sold during the past week by the pack
ers, and so far no large packings have
been sold. Inquiries have been numer-
Gus. but the packers refuse to let go
their goods, because the prices offered
do not strike them favorably. There is
SO much uncertainty over the outlook as
to prices, and the belief is so general and
deep-seated that very high prices will
prevail soon, that the packers are cling
ing to their packings like shipwrecked
sailors to piece of wreckage. We heard
cf one small lot going at Is cents a
pound, but the dealer had some special
reason for letting 60. Most of the goods
sold, and the total was not large, went
for from Is to 20 cents, and there were a
few small sales for % and % cents. Until

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

While but small fraction of the crop
remains in first hands, few sales are
still reported from time to time. Prices
remain quite stationary, ranging from
about Il to 20 cents per pound for clean
tobacco in the bundle. The higher fig
ure, of course, is the exception, though
it is said to have been the average re-
Gently for the tobacco raised in certain
districts in Connecticut. For assorted
tobacco as high as 321a cents per pound
has been paid, but the average is from
25 to 27 cents. The greater part of the
crop has been delivered and great activ-
ity prevails at the warehouses. 1t is
thought that the work of asserting will
be finished about the end of the first
week in April. Preparations for the
planting of the new crop are under way,
and it is expected that there will be a
slight increase in acreage.
A woman has bought in Texas in the
neighborhood of three thousand acres of
land in the best tobacco district, and is
to go to raising tobacco, so look out, for
tobacco may be cheap in few years.

year.-Cultivator.

MIAMIsBURG, O., March %, 1906.

Though the quality of the tobacco is
generally conceded to be below the aver
age, yet the demand for the remnant of
the thinner crop still in first hands is
keen, and high prices are being paid for
tobacco which was passed by as inferior
earlier in the season. A report is cur
rent that buyers are seeking to contract
for the 1906 seed leaf crop at cents per
pound before the seed is sown. The re-
ceiving of the 1905 crop is going on rap
idly, and warehouses are busy. 1t is be-
lieved that the 1906 crop will show a
large increase in acreage.
