Lancaster.

LANCASTER, PENN, April 10, 1906.
The past week was another exceed
ingly dull period in the local leaf tobacco
market, and very few buyers from out of
the city were here. So far as results
went they might as we'll have stayed
away, for no goods came their way The
fact of the matter is that the local pack
ers are not anxious to sell, and where,
week or ten days ago some would have
taken 20 or % cents pound for wrapper
goods, they would not sell now for those
prices. The demand has gone up to 25
cents, and above. Where the prices will
stop isa question for the future to answer.
One well-known dealer had 225 cases
of his new goods examined, and only one
case was found to be affected with black
rot, and that only slightly. The cigar
industry continues quiet with no pros
pect Of a return of the boom that char
acterized the trade the early part of the
year.-New Era.

Tobacco Farmers Discuss the Crop.
KNUD HENDERSON


The recent meeting of Dane county
farmers at Cambridge, Wis, developed a
spirited discussion of the question of to-
bacco growing, handling and marketing.
1t had been feared that much larger
acreage will be planted this coming sea
son. 1t was suggested by many of the
speakers and advised rather to decrease
the acreage and raise better quality leaf
by care in cuitivating and handling, both
before and after the stuff has been put
in sheds.
The matter of disposing of the leaf
was discussed at considerable length 1t
was affirmed that few farmers now and
then were perhaps not strictly honest
in stripping their tobacco, sometimes
putting in defective rubbish that not
only would unjustly increase weight, but
also stain the leaf aud I'M jure the quality.
Such action was strongly opposed and
condemned. 1t was brought out on the
other hand that the dealers often take
such advantage of the farmers that it
was more like robbery than Il fair deal.
How to equalize this with justice to both
parties is matter not easily overcome.
Ii the crop of tobacco is sold before
harvesting or even while it is hanging in
the Sheds it will become necessary for
the farmer 10 sign a contract, as the stuff
has many chances Of being damaged be-
fore it is to be delivered-in the fields by
storms, rust, grasshoppers or frost, and
the sheds by pole rot, shed burn or by
changing in curing to an inferior color
After it has been taken laid down and
left in piles too long weight heavy so as
to squash the lower layers. The roof of
the shed is sometimes defective, and rain
drips on the piles of tobacco. One or
| more phases of these defects may take
place. Against such loss the dealer
thinks he must Do protected by what is
called an "iron clad contract" signed by
the farmer. This at the time of deliver
| ing gives the dealer unbounded chances
to swindle the farmer a practice which
according to reports has been done re-
! peatedly.
A resolution was passed advising the
farmers not to sell their tobacco in the
| field (before harvesting) nor before part.
or most of said crop was stripped and
| put into the bundle. Some were of the
! opinion that all the crop should be in
the bundle when sold. Then when deal
ers inspect they will be able to know
! what they get. Moreover there should
| be no further inspection of said crop of
| tobacco on the day of delivery. This
appeared to be the unanimous express
sion of the meeting; under such condi-
tions, no contract need to be signed.
However, $40 per acre advance money
| should be demanded.

The first onions will be put in today by
Belden Brothers of this place" Con-
way, Mass: "a few tobacco beds have
been sown the past week, and the bal
ance will be sown this week Most farm
ers here SOW sprouted seed, as it makes
ten days or two weeks difference in time
in coming up. There is more frost in
the beds now than last year on March
20" North Hatfield, Mass: "In conver-
sation with one of my neighbors in ref
erence to sowing his tobacco beds, he
told me that he had plowed his bed to-
day and had turned out many Jumps of
frost, and that he did not care to SOW
his beds before the 14th of the month.
Most of the beds are too wet and lumpy
to sow now, as the ground cannot be
made fine.-Cultiyator

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, April 20, l9l

w Ao'S "A pa IL ~, ACOO'
Warehouse handling is fast drawing
to close and few more firms have fin
ished during the week, leaving only an
occasional dealer at the packing points
still in operation. The 1905 crop will
soon be in cases and the tobacco help
employed for several months released,
The market has developed nothing
new. A single transaction of old leaf
has reached us, 44cs lot of 1904 by G.
0. Onsgard to M. Ell. Ford.
A good many seed beds for another
crop have been laid during the week and
growers generally have their seed sprout-
ing or already in the ground.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 300cs aside from 25 car loads of
bundle leaf destined for Detroit, for the
week past from this market.

Estimates of This Years sAcreage-Lancas
ter County Sumatra.

The regular meeting of the Lancaster
County Tobacco Growers ASSOCIATE, n
was held on Monday afternoon. Presl-
dent Herr called for estimates as to the
size of the crop in the county. Mr. +.
r. Diffenderffer held to his previous es-
innate of 400 pounds to the acre, while
one or two others made it trifie higher.
The prospects for next season were then
called for. M. L. Greider and j. Aldus
Herr thought that the acreage this year
would be about the same as last year.
On the other hand, Capt. John r. Bick-
er thought that about one-fith increase
could be reasonably looked for, which
opinion was shared by President Herr.
The want of help in this direction would
prove factor in some sections. Labor
was leaving the farms to work on the
railroad improvements, which would pre-
vent Some growers from enlarging their
tobacco patches.
Mr.. Greider gave the result attained
from Sumatra grown at Milton Grove.
Out of one pound, three ounces of strip
ped wrapper tobacco SO3 cigars were OBJ
tanned. These were sold by dealer,
whose customers pronounced the tobac
co equal To the imported goods. This
tobacco differed from the imported only
in not having quite so much lustre. This
proved, said Mr.. Bricker, that more
wrapper tobacco should be grown on soil
similar to that at the experimental sta
tion. He urged that company be
formed for the purpose of an organized
effort in growing this wrapper tobacco.
One dealer said that the tobacco was
worth 1926 pound, and Mr.. Greider
held that the venture could be nothing
less than paying one. No action was
taken on the suggestion.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

veteran leaf dealer was heard to re-
mark the other day that not within the
thirty years that he had been engaged in
the business has the country or local
market been so thoroughly cleaned out
OF tobacco as at the present time. This
is especially true of the low grades which
so often go begging, that an unusual
demand has been taken up, even to the
scrap and sweepings. The odds and
ends, the broken packages, the discarded
samples and in fact all the accumula-
tions of years have all been cleaned up
for once-something that has never be.
fore occurred. It affords the packer
chance to balance his government book
and convert his assets into cash once
more. He can wipe off the slate and
start in fresh with the 1906 crop when it
comes into the market with satisfac-
tion that mas seldom been experienced.
The fact too, that nearly everybody will
be without stocks of old leaf when the
new crop comes on the market gives
promise that there will be hungry lot
Of buyers only waiting for an opportun-
ity to invest There is likely to be
nothing dull about the market of the
coming crop.
~
Tobacco growers experience great
trouble from weeds owing to seeds in
soil of new plant beds. In old plant beds
when the weeds are about cleaned out
the young tobacco plants often damp off
and destroy stand while giving, out of
those remaining, plants with sore-shin
sickness. These diseased conditions
arise from parasitic fungi which develop
in the soil and accumulate from year to
year until plant growing becomes diff
cult in the old beds. A similar difficulty
confronts greenhouse lettuce growers
and infests both the plant bed and the
house beds or areas in which the crop is
brought to final development The diff
fcuity has been greatly reduced, or over
come, by sterilizing the soil of these
beds. While steaming is a most excel
lent method for this, solution of for
malin in water applied to the soil by
sprinkling with this solution has also
been fairly effective. For this reason it
seems worth while to try the formalin
method on old tobacco plant bed, at
least in an experimental way. One and
one-half or two pints or pounds of for
malin is to be added to so gallons of
water (or in like proportion to smaller
amounts) and thoroughly stirred. The
solution thus obtained is to be applied
upon deeply stirred bed soil until the
whole is thoroughly wetted to depth of
six to eight inches. This will require
approximately three fourths to one gal
lon of water solution per square foot OF
surface area. After the treatment the
soil is allowed to dry for about one week,
or for longer period, after which the
the seed may be sown in the usual man
ner. II sown too soon after treatment
with formalin, seed termination may be
impaired. The treatment is simply to
destroy the fungus parasites contained
in the soil.

The market conditions are very aptly
described by the correspondent of a
New York trade paper when he says:
The scarcity of domestic tobacco is get
ting worse every day. Even though the
packer or dealer sells a lot of what would
have been looked upon as an enormous
profit year ago, he is making but little
after all when you consider that fire.
quently he cannot duplicate the tobacco
at the price he sold it at, if he can du-
plicate it at all. And yet he must sup
ply his customers if he expects to hold
their trade, even though he knows that
by withdrawing his tobacco from the
market he will get higher price later
on. This condition of affairs is serious
one, yet it has it's humorous side. Hardly
a day passes but what some manufact-
urer Tor his broker, who has never
bought pound of tobacco from me,
tries to get some particular lot of goods
on the plea that this is an entering
wedge, and If let him have the tobacco
at his price it will lead to good business
later on. One manufacturer, whose
name is on my books, has been trying
very hard to separate me from choice
lot of Wisconsin, and it would amuse
you to hear him tell what nice things he
had heard said about me IN the market,
and how he had made up his mind a
year ago to open up an account with my
house as soon as he was in the market
for tobacco This manufacturer | have
been trying to sell for the past five years
but never succeeded in getting him to
even look at sample. When | get ready
to say good by to my lot of Wisconsin, it
will go to some one who has been help
ing me pay my butcher and grocery
bills, provided he is willing to pay as
much as the other fellow.
The inscription of Sumatra tobacco
held at Amsterdam, Holland, this month
brought out some lively competition. The
prices ruled about as high as at the pre-.
ceding inscription. American buyers
secured some $500 bales. 1t is said the
new crop is greater than that of last
year, and all told, is the best for several
seasons. Both European and American
buyers competed in the bidding. Later
at the Rotterdam inscription prices con
timed high and the Americans pitched
in and bought $500 bales of the very ex-
cellent tobacco offered.
