The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1907-03-22

EDITOR REPORTER: Have read inter
view No. 6 in reference to causes for
dealers asking deduction in receiving
their purchases. Permit me to say: The
author of that article could not have
made such statement as he did ii he
were informed of the condition and what
is contained in our 1906 crop of tobacco
in general when rendered by the grower
for delivery upon contracts calling for
wrappers and binders to be sound and
delivered in good packing condition. He
must have bought his tobacco in some
section that was favored or else shut his
eyes when receiving and packing his to-
bacco. The writer bought the 1906 crop
in all sections and knows from his own
experience that the deductions made by
himself and others were not sufficient to
cover the pounds that had to be thrown
out in order to exclude the damage and
fillery stuff which should not have been
put in the bundle. according to the con-
tract. The writer does not believe there
is packer in the state who bought in a
his tobacco, that has packed as many
pounds into cases as he paid the farmers
for at contract price. When we con-
tracted for this crop we all expected
clean, sound tobacco, in good packing
condition, fit to go into cases, and fig
ured our cost accordingly. Have we re-
ceived it? think not. At least most
of US fear have raised our cost consid
erably above contract price for what we
have packed. Ii there is not large
amount of damaged and fillery stuff to
clean out of the tobacco this year, why
is it, even with all the large yields per
acre which have been reported in this
paper, that packers who have cleaned
their tobacco have only packed about
two and one half cases to the acre? One
prominent packer told me their packing
would not run over two cases to the acre
Quite reduction from four cases to the
acre which was the general estimate last
fall. PACKER.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


Just what effect the "unpleasantness"
resulting from the delivery of the pres
ent tobacco crop will have upon the
acreage of the coming one is difficult at
this time to determine. 1t was foregone
if all things moved smoothly, a very ma
terial increase would have taken place.
The high prices at which the bulk of the
crop had been contracted for furnished
every incentive to increase the fields this
year But even after all deductions the
crop has netted the grower more money
than any previous one in many years.
There is no secret among large class
of growers that the original prices con-
tracted for were from 3 to cents higher
than they expected to receive for the
crop, so the disappointments in the net
results have not been so alarming after
all, though docking has by no means
been agreeable. While the market con-
ditions do not appear quite as favorable
as year ago this date, there is every
reason to believe that all the available
cigar leaf will be needed by the domestic
manufacturers and command fairly good
prices. The demand for low grades
promises to remain strong for some
years to come and with an opening for
the grades suitable to the needs of the
cigar manufacturers there need be no
fear that good leaf will bring remunera-
tive prices the coming season and the
others that follow until the acreage ex-
ceeds that now planted to cigar leaf,

An engineering company, with Perry L. Hedrick at it's head, is about to be formed for the pur- pose of doing engineering work in the valley. MT. Hedricks will have two assistants with him and widen considerably the scope of his operations. The company will handle land sur veys and leveling and will do contour and map work. Later it is expected the company will enlarge in order to undertake concrete and other building con- struction. At the present time MT. Hedrick is surveying 1900 acres west of town.

represent two and two-thirds inc stead of four acre feet, but very few irrigators use the full allow ance of water and there is always a surplus. Alfalfa only requries the whole four acre feet, and there is no reason to expect that all the land will be devoted to alfalfa. If the increase of stock is authorized by the re- quired two thirds vote, it is the intention to sell at S25 a share, which will produce S250,00O, and that will be sufficient to put the company's system in first class condition. The pro- posed alternative of permitting owners of stock to rent or sell their surplus water is not a good one and l have not heard it advocated by any owners of stock. It seems to be favored by people who don't want to buy stock but think they see d way of getting cheap water. A mu- tual company is not authorized to go into the business of selling water, and if it could and should do so, it would get into com plicatiohs which had better be avoided"

GLEASON RETIRES
Not Candidate for Reelection as Presi-

Ol $oSO AhSA SeAoN oA oSO~AN
 MT. I. ". Gleason, president of Water Company No. 1, author izes the Imperial Valley Press to announce that he is not a candi- date for reelection and does not desire to retain the presidency of the company during another term.
 MT. Gleason says he thinks it bad policy to put in a full board of new directors, lacking exper- fence and knowledge of the de- tails of the company's affairs, and advises that at least two old directors be retained because of their familiarity with matters which new men could not be expected to know about.
 The measure which MT. Glea- son considers of paramount importance and says he hopes to see adopted at the annual meet ing on Jan IA is the proposed increase of stock of the company from 100000 to 10000 shares. On that subject he said to the Press last Thursday: "It is necessary to raise money to inn prove the irrigation system of the district, The old wooden appliances are decaying and should be replaced with concrete gates and other works. New machinery for clearing ditches is needed, and extension of ditches should be made. A drainage canal from Mesquite lake to tho Alamo is required to do away with the cause of considerable trouble. There are two ways of raising the money: by increasing assessments and by increasing the stock, and the latter is pre- ferable. Theoretically the in- crease of stock would reduce the amount of water per share, but practically the reduction would cut no figure. A share would

 director. Ira Aten was the first candidate suggested, but he side stepped by nominating w. E. Wilsie and asking that his own name be withdrawn. A ballot resulted in the selection of w. E. Wilsie and on motion of Ira Aten the choice was made unanimous.
 A motion to accept the propo- sition of Silsbee and to pledge support to Silsbee's candidate in return for support of Vim. Will sic was adopted unanimously.
 J. B. Hoffman, of Calexico, said the general sentiment in that vicinity was in favor of co-opera- ton with Silsbee and Fl Centro, but he thought it might not be advisable to charge directly that the funds of the company had been spent injudiciously.
 Ira Aten said he could see nothing judicious in the spending of money for fifty dollar fines, imposed in Imperial for allowing water to flood the roads,
 MT. Wilsie suggested that there was grave doubt in his mind con- corning the righteousness of pay ing a superintendent $200 a month and continuing that salary while the functionary was getting S8 a day for doing other work.
 After some discussion the state ment sent up from Silsbee was adopted with the modification of making the allegation of injudic- ious expenditure an expression of opinion instead of a positive as- sertion. As modified the state ment and pledge of united action were ordered forwarded to Ca lexico for consideration at the meeting to be held there tonight. Calexico also was requested to appoint members of a committee to prepare letter to the stock holders and the Calexico dele gates present reported the names of w. R. Vanderpoel, Geo. Camp bell and Thomas Pyle.
 MT. Clark suggested that many of the defects in management or organization of the company might be cured by dividing the district into five precincts, each precinct to elect it's director, but discussion developed the opinion that such division could not be made under the laws of the state and that the method of election proposed could only be recom- mended as a matter of policy.
 The joint committee of the three sections will meet at the office of the Ira Aten Land Co. on Monday night to draft the letter to stockholders and perfect plans for obtaining proxies.
