The growing crop is looking fine, the
past week having shown marked ad-
vance. With the crops throughout this
section set in June and with largely
increased acreage the 1906 crop promises
a near approach to the crops grown in
former years when the industry was at
its height.-Gazette.

and quite few transactions are reported.
Havana enough of the new crop
has come over to make market and the
same stagnation prevails, though few
sales of the new are reported The buy
ing has been because the buyer had to
have goods, and not because the stock
was particularly desirable. "Flimsy and
characterless" has been the verdict of
the trade upon the most that has arrived
thus far-Leaf.

New YORK, july 3. 1906

From all the leaf-growing sections,
with the exception of Pennsylvania,
comes the best of news regarding the
newly planted crop. Ia Massachusetts,
Connecticut and Wisconsin the resetting
stage has been safely passed, and the
conditions of the crop are all that could
be asked for, the weather having been
ideal. In Pennsylvania there has been
too much rain, and the fields have been
more or less washed out. Conditions in
Ohio are good.
The local market is bare of goods and
barer of interest. Good, old filler stock.

Professor A. D. Shamel has published
quite an interesting article upon the
su biect of tobacco breeding and the i'm
portance of care being used in the selec-
ton of seed plants, and producing of
seed that shall be pure and unmixed by
the work of bees or insects. He claims
that the seed from a we'll developed
plant should not be mixed or fertilized
by the pollen of any other plant, even
though the plant from which the pollen
was taken may be good or a better
plant than the one being fertllized. Ex-
otic plants. he says, should never be fer
tilted by other exotic plants. He allows
only such leaves to remain upon the
stalk as would reach good size. The
ones above such leaves are all carefully
trimmed off together with the suckers
that would naturally grow upon the
stalk saving at the crown very small
cluster of seed or bloom sprouts or suck
ers to produce the seed, and in this man
ner he claims to materially lessen the
number of suckers or the plants IN the
following year or years. Over this cover
of stems he has fastened a paper bag,
which he calls twelve pound size. This
bag is tied loosely at the mouth, so that
it may be raised from time to time to al
low the flower to expand to its usual size
and form. IF at the time of putting on
this bag any blossoms have appeared,
pick them off and throw them down, as
they may have been impregnated already
by insects, or in other ways. He speaks
emphatically about the elections, and
says let the plant be early, the leaves
large and round at the tip, not pointed.
for such leaves always cut the great
er number of wrappers in proper
ton to the weight of each. Insects are
early risers and busy workers, and be-
fore you are aware of the fact they may

SCHOOLS ARE BACKWARD
Some HustIing Must Be Done to Get
 Bank Street Building Ready.

Although the public schools reopen next Tuesday, and the board of edu- cation has been getting the buildings in shape for the usual increase in the attendance, the conditions in Brook lyn for couple of months at least are likely to be very wretched, due to the delay in erecting the addition to the Duggan school. The three rooms which were surely to be finished be- fore next Tuesday will not be com pleted and unless Janitor Herman makes wonderful progress couple of other rooms will not be ready for oc- cupancy for q week or more. In four of the rear rooms there are several black boards to be put in place which had to be torn down when the new chimney was recently erected. When the contractor has finished work on the rooms, the janitor will have to give them thorough cleaning and this morning, Mir Tiernan stated that he did not see how he could have the task performed before the opening day. The back stairs are not nearly finished and all the scholars will be compelled to enter and leave the building by the frout entrance. To make matters worse the halls are filled with old rubbish. which cannot be removed just yet, but 1t looks as if 1t could be carried away before next week.
 The failure of the contractor to have the rooms ready Is said to. be due to the strike of the bricklayers and masons. For long time there was nothing doing on the school building and it was tied up as long as any other building, during the strike. The noncompletion of these room will have a disastrous effect up- on the conditions of the school and should the increase in the number of scholars be as great this term as it was last year, standing room will be a premium in the Brooklyn schools. Last year the conditions over in Brooklyn were such that it was a long time before matters were straighened and the scholars knew where they were at. The board of education, aware of what the situa- tion would be the coming year, took the matter in hand and ordered the erection of six rooms. three of which were certain to be finished for the opening of school next Tuesday. But everything has m;scarried snd Prin- cipal Devine of the Duggan school will have his hands full for Q time at least. Last year Superintendent of Schools Tinker, said that the year ly increase in the schools of Brook lyn was larger than In any other sec tion of the city, so it may easily be seen how the school system of Brook lyn will be affected by the delay in finishing the new rooms.

BANTAM LAKE FISH. An Association Formed at Litchheld to Supervise the Fishin9.

An association was formed at Litchfield Saturday for the protection of the water and fishing of Bantam lake, which Is said to be the outcome of the controversy in the last legis- lature, resulting from the effect of the manufacturing companies of the lower Housatonic valley to obtain control of this lake. The association formed represents the towns of Litch- field, Torrington, Morris and. Thom- aston. The following officers and d. rectors were elected:

Yards are poorly paved, pave

Buildings badly lighted and venti-

meat racks and conveyors filthy,
rotten and blood soaked.
Workmen's aprons are In

Men climb from the floor and

refuse of the floor on tables on
which meat is handled.
Meats intended for canning pur-
poses are thrown into heaps on
filthy floors.
Workmen expectorate on the
floor and even commit other indie
cencies.
Men in filthy clothing are seen
sitting on tables where meat is
handled.
-G-eat stocks of old canned
goods were being put through
washing process to remove the old
labels. They were then subjected
to sufficient heat to liven up the
contents. After this fresh labels,
with the government name on
them, were to be placed on the
cans and they were to be sent out
