Tobacco Land.

[ own the farm on which was raised
the first tobacco grown in the United
States. 1t joins jamestown Island on
the James river in Virginia. No tobacco
has been raised on it for fifty years or
more but as have raised 72 bushels of
corn to the acre ian 80 acre feld), | be-
lieve it will now raise as good tobacco as
that which made the old time Virginia
planters the Wealthiest class of people in
the United States.
The land raises extremely good crops
of wheat and oats, timothy and clover,
alfalfa and cow peas The corn last
year sold at 60c per bushel; hay at $40
per ton. Milk will bring $3.50 per 100
lbs. by hauling to the boat landing only
one mile distant The climate is good.
The location cannot be excelled, as it is
only one mile from the steamboat land

The influx OF Western buyers has AMI
mated the market to some extent, but
not particularly in the domestic leaf
types, as there is general feeling among
the dealers that sampling prior to Sep
tember is not wise course. In fact, it
is stated that the buyers from out OF
town found very little of the new crop
ready for their inspection. and the trans
actions were light, being confined to

heavy as they ever raised. Thursday
was the day set for them to begin, but
these hot days and nights in connection
with the dry weather have had ten
dency to ripen the crop very fast, and
others will find the same conditions in
their own fields before many days. We
are in need of rain, but the growers have
all bad taste of hail in years agone,

about noon, they tremble in their boots,
with the fear of hail. Who can blame
them?"- ?"-Cultivator.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Tremendously heavy rains have fol-
lowed the breaking of the drouth that
have put the soil bey ond any further
need of moisture to com plete the max
ing of the present tobacco crop. What
is needed now is warm weather three
or four weeks Of tiff anything like
fair percentage of the crop ever reaches
the shed. Even if favored with late
fall the danger most to be feared is from
frosts which usually appear any time
after the middle of September. The
growers will be extremely lucky if the
harvest is ever started by September lst,
which will bring the securing of the crop
we'll into the season of cold nights and
light frosts. The fate, therefore, of at
least so yer cent. of the crop will be de-
termined by the weather of the coming
two weeks. A dealer who has ridden
over quite large portion of the tobacco
growing sections estimates the present
condition about as follows: 25 per cent.
looking good; 25 per cent. just fair, and
80 per cent. poor. Measured by this
standard the prospects do not appear
over encouraging.

Statistics of the growing tobacco crop
can hardly be relied on this year as fur
nishing the usual basis for figuring acre
age and yield, for the reason that the
figures represent the intended area to be
planted rather than the actual. The
statistics relating to Rock county below
presented were gathered by the assessors
during the month of May, some weeks
before the crop was actually planted,
hence they can only show what acreage
the farmers intended to devote to to-
ba eco. 1t will be noted. however, that
under normal conditions the increase
would have been about 1000 acres in
Rock county alone.

There has been no change in the sit
uation of the local tobacco market since
last week. Few sales have been made,
and these were of small lots. The buy
ers do not make their prices public, but
there is reason for believing that they
are about the same as the prices last
paid for 1905 goods, somewhere around
20 cents, actual weight.
The weather the past week has been
very favorable for the crop now growing,
which is making satisfactory progress.
The great trouble is that the crop is
such an extremely uneven one. All sorts
of predictions are being made regarding
it, so diverse in character as to show
that they are mere guesses, and every
body was guessing according to their
hopes. We can only hope for favorable
weather, and if we get that the county's
crop will be fair one both as to size
and quallty.-New Era.

CAUSES TROUBLE
Paducah Saddlery Company
May Have Receiver
Well Known Local Concern That
Seemed in Fair Way to Prosper
i'm Court.
NO STATEMENT IS GIVEN OUT.


Minority stockholders took drastic
action Saturday afternoon to wind
up the affairs of the Paducah Sad
dlery company, that may cause the
concerns retirement from business,
although it seemed in fair way to
succeed. Developments of the next
few days will decide whether or not
the business is to be continued. l..
G.. Treas, of Benton, who owns an in
terest of $1,000, and others repre-
senting $4,000. have applied for a
receiver. The case will be heard on
Saturday.
The Paducah Saddlery company
was organized in 1899 by Alex Culp,
Charles Swender and John Deeg. The
present concern Is capitalized at $685.
600. the principals stockholders being
Alex Culp, w. G. Dycus, Wallace
Well and Eddie Clark, who have $5,-
600 stock each, while the balance is
owned by the z. P. Noble estate, Da-
vid Reeves and l.. G. Treas, of Ben
ton; Charles Bradley and William
Gilbert, of Paducah.
To satisfy certain creditors, the
Paducah Banking company and the
Globe Bank and Trust company, have
been acting as trustees of the con-
Germ for several weeks. After wealth
ering bad year on account of the
price of leather, experts could not
understand why the concern should
not meet its obligations in time and
prosper, but under the trusteeship
the travelling men were called in of
the road just as the spring business
was opening and sales could have
been made for early deliveries. This
cut off the income OF the concern and
the action Saturday night which was
surprise to some OF the stockhold-
ers, may prove the finishing stroke.
At the Offices Of the Paducah Sad
dlery company no statement would be
given out. The officers of the com
pany are: Alex Culp. president; Ed
die Clark, vice president; w. G.. Dy-
Gus, secretary and treasurer.
An inventory of the stock and as
sets at the first Of the year showed
the assets to be $4,000 and the liz
bilities s3SyOO0. 1t is understood
that the assets now nearly double the
liabilities. If they may be made avail
