LANCASTER, IA, June 4, l9O7.
The weather the past week was so un-
favorable that comparatively little to-
bacco planting was done in our county,
and probably not above 10 per cent. of
the crop has been set out. The plants,
as a rule, are too small yet for trans
planting, and even the growers whose
beds were advanced hesitated to set out
the tender plants for fear of danger of
frost A heavy frost following general
planting would be serious matter, as
there would not be enough plants in re-
serve to re-plant, and curtailed area
under tobacco would be the result.
There was some selling of crops of the
growers who had held on for sitter
prices than we're paid during the boom
season, the prices being all the way from
II to l315 cents a pound.
The only selling of old goods in the
local market was to cigar manufacturers,
the prices being what they have been for
months past. The old goods are work
ing off gradually, and mostly to manu-
facturers. The very big factories are
we'll provided with old goods, purchased
in anticipation of just such conditions as
now prevail, but the little manufactur-
ers, those who have but few hands,
have been hard hit by the high prices
for goods, and quite a number of these
little manufacturers have shut up shop
and gone to work for the big manufact-
urers. For the latter the cigar trade is
good. New Era.

NEW YORK, June 5, 1907

The news from the growing Sec
tions of the country has been any
thing but satisfactory to those who are
hoping for an abundant crop of cigar
leaf this year. Cold, rainy weather has
prevailed everywhere, and the growers
are much behind in their planting. 1t
seems impossible that the acreage will
be equal to last years. The local mar
ket is extremely dull.
Sumatra.-At the next Amsterdam in
scription %, 1856 bales of Sumatra will be
offered for sale. This will be the largest
amount ever offered at one time in the
history of the Frascati. In the local
market the new Sumatra is moving
nicely.
Havana 1t is yet impossible to give
an accurate opinion on the quality OF the
crop that is now in the process of pack
ing. During the past week number OF
escojidas have been started at varions
points in Cuba, and the work of getting
the crop ready for the market is pro-
crossing. Leaf

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Another week of the nastiest spring
weather which has been our fortune to
witness. But now things look a good
deal brighter, and if we could but have
few good warm days the business of
tobacco setting would begin to hum. AS
it is, several tobacco setting machines
are to be seen at work. The plants were
getting pretty large, too large, in fact, to
be kept in the beds [ heard of one man
who simply pulled 5000 plants and con-
signed them to the dump, rather than
set them in the field to be frozen and
wind whipped. I hear that some pieces
are so whipped by the wind that it
would be some time before they could
recover from the effect. Four days
of such wind as we have had the past
week would discourage most any kind OF
young vegetation.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Feeding Hills, Mass: "a little more to-
bacco will be raised this year than here
tofore. The season is about two weeks
later than usual Tobacco beds are in
all stages of progressiveness; now and
then one looks fine, but most of them
poor. Five crops of 1906 remain 1unsold.
These are cased and waiting for better
prices" Conway, Mass: Setting to-
bacco here began in good earnest last
Monday, but the weather continued so
cold that the growers were frightened,
so the most of them stopped setting until
the last of the week, but Boyden Broth
ers have their ten acres nearly all set.
We are having nice rain, only it is
cold. The thermometers registered AZ
degrees. only little above freezing, and
expect to hear that in some places it

OF BOARD
Equalization of Tax Mat
ters This Week.
Northern Pacific Railroad Enters
COmpIaint..very Little Com.
piafnt Otherwise.

The county board of equaliza-
ton, consisting Of the county judge,
assessor and clerk, as provided by
law, is now in session, having COM
menced Monday. The board will
be occupied for the balance of the
week in adjusting tax matters.
The main complaint came from
J. C. Fairchild, tax agent of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Com
papy.
The Northern Pacific, through
an old land grant from the govern
ment, has acquired title to about
$4,000 acres of land in Morrow
county. This land is assessed all
the way from so cents to 81. 25 per
acre, averaging about 50 cents per
acre.
Assessor Conner informs the
Gazette that this assessment of the
railroad lands is taken on the same
basis as other lands in the vicinity
of the railroad holdings.
Mr.. Fairchi,d, the tax agent,
claimed that the valuation was
excessive.
The board is unanimous in the
belief that this assessment is fair
and not too high, especially when
it is considered that some of the
railroad land is located in great
farming district.
Outside Of the railroad, very few
complaints from otner parties have
been registered.
