outdoor work cannot be done to profit,
on such days little stripping can be
done and not interfere with the regular
farm work A few have hired in help,
when not being used in the onion fields,
and in this manner have down and strip

There has been some riding by the
buyers, but little has been sold, for the
report is to the effect that it will take
around Zoe to clear out the tobacco
Some of the small growers have been
selling for several cents less. l have
heard of few sales made in the west
part of Whately at 19c; at least there is
a rumor of such sales.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Suffield, CT: THE foggy mornings and
the showers which have occurred the
past week have dampened the tobacco
in the sheds and number of growers
who cut their crop early have started to
take their tobacco from the poles These
growers report that the crop is all that
has been claimed, and that it is even
better than the crop of 1892, which was
said to have been the best ever raised In
this section. Despite the fact that
certain planter has said that tobacco
raisers would be disappointed this year,
Albert Holcomb, one of Poquonock's
biggest planters, has sold his entire crop
for the extraordinary high price of 30c
pound, the American Tobacco Co. being
the buyer" East Whately, Mass: II
have the following sales to report: Den
mis- Hays, 3 acres seedleaf, 16c, 3 acres
Havana at 15c; John Smith, l acre Ha-
vana at 15c; William Smith, 6 acres Ha-
vana at 15c." North Hadley, Mass: II
have to report the sale of IL acres of to-
bacco by G. HI. & F. A. Crafts at about
1Sc, in the bundle, to be delivered the
middle of December. The Springfield
Republican reports that A. N. Graves
has sold to the Americon Tobacco Co.
$50 acres of tobacco for 25c, in bundle.
This is the largest private sale ever re-
ported in this section" Feeding Hills,

New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 1906,

Nothing startling is going on in the
market at present. Trade is active in
all types, but one, of which sufficient
supply can be found in the market. The
new Wisconsin is nearing the completion
of its sampling but there have as yet not
taken place many transactions IN 1T.
Such lots as have been sold fetched from
% to % cents, but lively trade in it IS
soon expected. The shortage that is
mostly felt in the market just now is
that of BIS such as Of old Wisconsin and
Gebhardt. Wherever found they COM
rnand price of 18 cents. In Sumatra a
steady trading is now the rule. With
but one more the inscriptions for the
year 1906 will come to an end. The crop
certainly proved of general satisfaction
and is finding willing buyers in spite of
it's advanced price. The tension in the
Havana market has been considerably
relieved this week by the Intervention of
the American government in CuEa and
the disarmament of the insurgents, who,
it is expected, will now return to their
accustomed work and help to raise to-
bacco crop, for which the season is just
at hand With the prospects of new
crop even if it should not reach d nor
NAL figure the stocks held back for an
increase to war prices are again in the
open market and will no doubt find
ready buyers Enormous shipments of
tobacco have been rushed through from
Cuba to this country in the past two
weeks evidently because their American
owners did not consider their property
safe in Havana with the strongest rebel
army encamped in the suburbs of the
Cuban capital.-Journal.

The breeding of high grade grains,
and particularly of barley, one of the
most important branches of work carried
on by the Wisconsin Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station at the University 1T
Wisconsin, has just received a special
impetus through arrangements which
have been made for co operation between
the station and the Department of Ag
riculture at Washington. The appro-
priation of $4,000 made by the last Con
gress will be used to continue and en-
large the work which for eight years has
been conducted successfully at Wiscon-
sin. AS there are 100000 bushels of
barley raised annually in the state, it is
readily seen that the work of breeding a
grade of barley which will yield frem
five to ten bushels more per acre than
ordinary grades is matter of vital i'm
portance to the farmers of Wisconsin. 1t
means an increase of from 100000 to
5,OOO 900 bushels in the years crop. In
the new method the seeds are planted
four inches apart, and of 1000 plants
only the twenty best heads are retained
for seed, being selected by weight. By
taking only the best each year for eight
years, undesirable strains are eliminated,
and pure-b bred, select grain is assured.
This systematic elimination of tho poor
er grades of grains, with the substitution
of the best bred, most highly developed
grades will mean more to the agricul-
tural interests of the state than almost
any other work that could be done to
ward raising the standard of quality and
quantity of production. With every
farmer in the state using only the best
seed. and planting it by approved meth
DDS, the annual yield of barley might
without difficulty be increased to TO-
100000 bushels with little or no increase
over the present acreage devoted to that
crop Like results might be obtained
with other grains

NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 1906

Wisconsin holds the center of the
stage in the domestic tobaccos just at
present, selling at twenty to twenty-five
cents running lots. There is strong
demand for all kinds, however, and the
market for the past week has been a
more or less lively one. Buying still con-
tinues in the country, though in most
sections it is being conducted more con-
servatively than was the case few
weeks ago.
Sumatra.-The beginning of the fall
inscriptions has given the market a
greater degree of activity. During the
past week number of fairly good sales
have been reported, and a steady, con-
tinuous business has been done from
day to day. About one tenth of the of
ferings at the last inscription was found
suita BILE for American use, and this was
eagerly taken by American houses, pay
ing what are regarded as extremely high
prices. Another inscription will take
place in Amsterdam next Friday, at
which time about 5000 bales will be Of
fered.
Havana.-There is general feeling of
relief among the trade over the fact that
modus vivendi has been reached by
which law and order will be maintained
in Cuba. It had been intended to at
tempt to raise two crops of tobacco this
year. This will now be impossible, as
very early planting would have been
necessary, and owing to the revolution
the planting will be late, even for one
crop. But the general opinion is that
there is time vet to raise crop, possibly
good one, though it is rare that late
crop ever turns out we'll. From reports
there seems to have been less damage
ocne in the Pinar del Rio section than in
the others.-Leaf.

Lancaster.

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. 2, 1906.
During the past week sales of the new
crop were reported from various parts of
the county, at good prices, but these did
not reach the figures the growers had
been demanding, which were higher
than the packers would pay. Some sales,
though not many, were made at IL cents
a pound thro lgh but most of the sales
were around Ia cents. The growers are
hoping that something may start
scramble for the crop, in which event
prices would GO soaring. The dealers
say there is no prospect of any such
event, which would undoubtedly create
a panic among the buyers as all would
rush in to get their share of goods.
There was very little activity in the
local. leaf trade, though there are no lack
of inquiries. When the packers and
those who want their goods Set down to
level on prices the holdings of goods
will soon change hands. New Era.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


CROP BULLETIN NO. 2, ISSUED BY THE WIS
CoNsIN TOBACCO GROWERS AND
DEALERS ASSOCIATION.
Since making our last report July 10th
weather conditions have been most fav-
orable in nearly every growing section.
From present indications this will prove
the banner tobacco year for Wisconsin.
Nothing like it in money returns has
been experienced since 1884 AS near as
can be estimated from the township sec
retaries reports, including all the tooac-
co growing sections of the state, there
has been harvested under most favor
orable conditions about 10000 acres, so
per cent of which was safely secured on
or before Sept. 10th, large proportion
being harvested in August. From re-
ports received, crops are curing with ex-
ceptionally bright colors, and good quail
ity Crops harvested after Sept. 10Th
have cured slowly, but in the majority
of cases the curing process is far ad-
vanced with little likelihood of much fat
stems. From statistics gathered from
the different sections, at least 8 per cent
OF the entire crop has been more or less
damaged by hail, wind and grasshoppers.
At least IS per cent of the entire crop
has been sold at prices ranging from lOc
to l8c, placing the entire crop of the
state on an average of at least lac for
wrapper and binder grades and &c to DC
for filters. Farmers have held the whip
and have forced dealers TO buy on
rising market since the buying COM
menced early in July. The situation has
been most favorable to the grower the
selling of big crop in the field, most
under protest and against the best Judg-
ment and wishes of the grower produc-
ing it.
It can no longer be insinuated that
dealers are organized and united on
prices to be paid for Wisconsin tobaccos'
Two years experience substantiates this
fact, that when Wisconsin growers pro-
duce good crops they are sellers at re-
munerative prices.
i Prospects are bright for Wisconsin to
bacco interests. 1t is incumbent upon
the growers to be loyal and strictly hon
est in preparing this crop for the market.
Dealers realize that their purchases are
high and will cost them in cases close
around 18c per pound packed weight.
Buyers will demand good, clean re-
turns on their contracts, and we hope
growers will realize the situation, SO we
will not have repetition of 1900 expert
ence.

GOOHhTON, w I5ss OCVs L., IOVO'
A quiet, steady movement is all the
time going on, lifting the balance of the
tobacco crop which must very soon re-
duce the unsold fraction to small pro-
portion. Not only are the better crops
being taken over at top prices, but a
good deal of the late, stormed and tail
ends of the crop are being contracted at
from 10 to 13 cents presumably in the
interests of the low grade manufactur-
ers. There seems to be little question
to the close of the buying. Sample
sales coming to notice since last report

A DEALERS VIEW AND REPORT.

"A DEALEh VIEW AMI IsGI oSA'
AS this association is composed of
growers and dealers, it requires deal
er's report as we'll as growers. In the
first place, have as yet to meet the first
dealer who claims that he acted IN
sane, bu usiness-like manner in starting to
buy the 'O6 crop before it was set IN the
field, and continuing to buy ''cat in the
bag" through the season., until as est1-
mated Is per cent of the crop was sold.
Now that the race is ended, practically
and the buying heat partially cooled, the
situation may be summed up about as
follows: Farmers who sold very early at
from 1Oc to 12c are all very much dissat-
isfied, saying they gave it away; and the
dealer who paid 13c to 16c, on the other
hand, if not yet dissatisfied, has plenty
of time to repent before his l5c IN the
bundle tobacco is sold at profit.
It staggers manufacturer to pay a
profit in 1907 and 1903 on Wisconsin
binders that will then cost the packers
2Oc to 22c per pound, marked weights
| So the recent deals n 1906 leave many
dissatisfied
We notice by the reports that some
shed burn and pole-rot are found
| throughout the entire tobacco belt. This
| will lead to much more trouble; unless
| the grower cleans out his damage thor
oughly there will be trouble and rejec-
tions on delivery day: and when the best
care is exercised to assert and pack such
tobacco. the percentage of damage, es-
pecially by must and dry rot, is greater
| than with sound stock.
Another drawback to many dealers is
| that money is at quite premium, which
will add more to the cost of the packing
while the labor certainly will be nc
cheaper than in previous years.
| Readers of The Reporter will notice
that the editor has always advised sell
| ing the tobacco when cured and not be-
| fore. This years experience will only

An interesting interview with an east
ern tobacco dealer prepared in this con-
nection, is crowded out of this issue but
will appear next week. The value OF
such information as is contained in the
reports secured by the Tobacco Growers
and Dealers Association must be appar-
ent to every one connected with the
trade. 1t shows what cooperation of one
hundred or more township secretaries
may accomplish in the way of giving
accurate statistics and information.
While the prices of this product continue
at the present high levels there is espec-
