the channel increases there were formed valleys or
basins the surface of which gradually soped away from
the river banks. These valleys in time worked out
their system of drainage through central channel
parallel to and connected with the river lower down
The best examples of this coordinate drainage those
of the St Francis and the Yazoo rivers both of which
flow parallel with the Mississippi and throughout the
entire length of these valleys the Mississippi has no
tributaries.

A Change of Theory

Until recently the theory obtained among the govern
ment engineers that if river be confined by dykes it
will gradually raise its bed to the level of the dykes AS
such result would impair the navgabiy of the Mis-
sssipp the government refused to allow any OF the
appropriations for the improvement of of the
Mississippi to be used for evee purposes. The money
was spent dredging the sandbars which would be built
up again the next 1ood-time
Eads, however exploded the old theory and proved
the contrary to be true conne the river within high
banks and it will cut out deep channel in times of
flood. For the last ten years the government has
allowed about million year to be diverted to levee
purposes.
The building of Ievees should have been federal job.
The nation is now practically pledged the completion
of the SYSTEM because closely allied to the deep
channel proposition. But when the levee system IS
completed from Cairo to the Gulf, the great task of
drainage still remains too, should be undertaken
by the government.
A national drainage act such as was mentioned in
previous article on the swamp lands would solve this
question of drainage. All that is needed is sufficient
capital to pursue the work comprehensive scale
The increased value of the land would pay the OF

was before the During the war and for
number of years after the great river ran where it

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

During the past week considerable Of
the tobacco in this vicinity has been
housed, thereby lessening the trouble
and anxiety of a few of our farmers.
More will be released from the same
trouble when the present week has
drawn to close, fOr quite a number who
have not commenced the harvest will
begin with the first day of the week.
The condition of the crop may be
sized up on these lines. Tobacco already
advanced so per cent of the crop will
reach the normal stage all right, if the
late favorable weather continues, Mid
ding fair plants will be cut in tolerably
fair condition, while tobacco very poor
now will hardly be worth cutting. The
packers are striving very hard to get
word to the growers not to get scared
over the approach of frost and cut be-
fore their crops are ripe. Men who have,
small fields which they can work them
selves have the best tobacco to show,
while the big growers have i'll looking,
half worked fields. How will the condi-
ions in Pennsylvania compare with the
condition here in the valley? Can we
boast of better showing than 5O per
cent. of our crop reaching normal size

good deal of it will not be ready until
next month. The dry weather has
checked the growth of some of the to-
bacco, so that it will be light weight this
year and there are some pieces that
were large and thrifty that have wilted
and gone back, so that it will not amount
to much" Hatfield. Mass: "a large
part of the tobacco crop in our section

close the season. The light land has
felt dry weather in some parts, but we
have large and fine crop" Conway,

in earnest this week. The little rains
that we have had recently have helped
along wonderfully, but will not be as

New YORK, Aug. 27, 1907.

During this week some new tobacco
has been sold by those packers who sam
pied early. The tobacco that changed
hands was chiefly Connecticut Havana
Seed and Connecticut Brodleaf and the
samples of these types are said to have
shown up satisfactory and sound. A few
packers are showing samples of the new
PENNSYLVANIA Broadleaf, but in the main

that work is going on at present. The

which these goods have to go. The new

Lancaster.


The value of the late rains to Lancas-
ter county's tobacco crop is incalculable.
BY reason of the drouth the ground had
become baked hard and the plants were
suffering for lack of moisture. Since the
rains they have freshened up wonder
fnlly and appear to have taken new
lease on life. Lately the growth has
been quite marked, and if the frost sea-
son does not come earlier than usual we
are likely to have a very nice crop in
spite of the backsets the plants have
met with, late planting. cold weather
and drouth. The nights, unfortunately,
are decidedly too cool to enable the
plants to develop as they should. There
have been few insect pests this season,
however, and worms are not very bad.
With ten days or two weeks of growth
the tobacco will look pretty nice, though
the leaves, as rule, will be much small
er than usual. But they will have weight
to them, and we may have good filler
crop, after all.
There has been very little doing the
past week in the local market. There is
no old tobacco on hand for trading, and
the 1906 tobacco has not been sampled,
so is really not quite ready for the mar
ket, though there have been numerous
inquiries about it.
The cigar trade continues good with
no signs of any let-up.-New Era.

NEW YORK, Aug. Ol, 1oOi.
The leaf market just now finds itself
in a most peculiar situation. Buyers
are plentiful and business is flush and
there would be swamping boom but
for one thing: the tightness Of the money
market. Water Street being the closest
neighbor to Wall Street is not exactly
affected by the depression which has in
fected the stock market; but it is made
to feel the effect of the stringency of the
money market Not that it is itself suf
fering so much by it, but it is compelled
to do a banking business for large
number of its customers, whose banking
accommodations seem to have been cut
short by the shortage of funds in the
money market Under these circum-
stances credit is not only curtailed. but
the merchant himself does not feel at
liberty to stock up as freely as he would
if banks were in a position to discount
literally. The boom, therefore, is de-
ferred, but it is bound to come in time
when the money market eases up. The
numerous buyers in the market are buy
ing freely of Connecticut Havana seed
and Broadleaf, both of which appear to
them profitable investment. For the
Connecticut leaf rules lower in price
than it has in many years, and the hold
ers of it do not insist as they did only
two years ago. on selling either the run
ming lot or nothing. Second and light
wrappers are being sold out on the mere
asking, and Havana seed seconds are
running at % or 23c, while the Broad
leaf wrappers command from 28 to 30
cents. But it is the Connecticut Broad
leaf wrappers which have attracted most
the attention of the buyers. OF the new
filler and binder crops, very little has
been sampled as yet, but it seems to be
agreed on all hands that the 1906 Wis
consin will have to bring at least %
cents in order to make profit for the
packer, and that the 1906 Pennsylvania
at 20 cents will hardly pay the packers
cost of it. The most satisfactory deal
ings, however, are being done in the Su-
matra, which is selling freely without
the slightest friction. AS for the Ha-
vana not much of the new crop has
made its appearance in the market. OF
all the types the new Partidos seem to
be the most in demand for the present

EDGHRTON, WIS.,, Sopt q, I0ot.
The weather OF the week has gen.
orally been quite favorable to the har-
vest of the tobacco crop, which is now
we'll under way in all sections. A hot
wave during the closing days of August
brought on the late fields with remark
able growth, but these have been follow
ed by rather cool nights which delays
the ripening somewhat. The heavy
work of harvest will commence now and
if favored with the best weather condi-
tions scarcely half the crop can be Sc
cured before the 18th. 1t begins to look
as if it will be race with the frost from
this time on.
Buyers are riding the growing districts
freely watching the harvest and develop
ment of the crop, but scarcely any effort
has been made to close contracts so far.
