home TOBACCO IN
A GOOD POSITION.
Taylor Believes Sale Will
Soon Be Made,
Very Little Green River Tobacco
In Britaiu---H0W il is
Manufactured.

George NJ. Taylor, who spent sew
eral weeks in GreaJ Britain as the
representative Of the Green River
Equity Warehouse company, which
is located in Greensboro has return
ed home and expresses the opinion
that the tobacco shipped by his
company to Liverpool is in strong
position and will shortly be sold,
owing to the fact that there is very
little Green river, or Greensboro to-
baco as it is called in Britain, in
bonded warehouses in that country.
He says that ne was surprises TO find
so little Green river Tobacco in rGeat
Britain.
Speaking of his experience in Eng
land, Mr.. Taylor said, THE tobacco
trade over there is very much inter-
ested in the tobacco growers organi-
cation in this country. Our pur-
poses and intentions are very much
misunderstood, but one thing they
give us credit for-raising the price.
They do not like us much because
we have raised the price,but they
have no particular fight against us
as long as they can buy Tobacco from
us as cheap as from anyone else"
Tobacco" continued Mr.. Taylor
'is one of the greatest sources of
government revenues in Great Britain.
AS soon as il arrives from America,
il is placed in bonded warehouses
and the government takes a sample
by which it is sold. There is a duty
of seventy-two cents pound on TO-
bacco, but this is not paid by the
shipper. When manufacturer gets
ready TO use a certain shipment of
tobacco, he pays the duty and takes
it out of the bonded warehouse.
This duty, of course, makes the
manufactured products sell high, and
tobacco is economically used. Still,
the use of tobacco is very near uni
versal. Most of it is smoked-very
little chewed.
1T is amusing 10 see an old Eng
lishman smoke his pipe. He empties
the ashes out into the palm of his
hand, puts a little fresh tobacco in
the bottom of the bowl, replaces the
ashes on top of it and lights IL. In
this way he is enabled 20 consume
every particle of the tobacco.
Green River tobacco, or Owensboro
tobacco as it is called there, is used
for two purposes. A considerable por
ton of it is spun on machines in long
hard hollis from half an inch TO an
inch in diameter and sold for smoking
purposes in little chunks, something
like plug tobacco. The other form
in which it is prepared is what is
known as shap-the kind of tobacco

COLONY FOR

Unknown PhiIanthrOpist
Seeks Practical Way

GREELEY, Colo. April 1.-THE Ar

negotiating for the sale Of a large trac,
of land in the Greeley district to a
wealthy eastern philanthropist, for the
purpose of establishing a colony fc1
the deserving poor of the crowded ten

and other cities. All the preliminaries
for the purchase are being made by
Thomas F Bennington of Pittsburg, a

week making a thorough Investigation

All work on the proposition has been
done, and although the exact iocality
of the land has not been made pubic,
it is known that is is near Greeley and
consists of three large areas representS
ing an investment of $4,000 to $780,
900 each, with subsequent improve

Cut in Small Farms
Each settler will be allotted a spal
farm of 10 to 40 acres and have as long
time as he wishes to pay for his prop
erty in crop payments. He will be fur
nished with a team, COW, some chick
ems and the necessary farming tools.
Attention will be paid to dairying and
chicken raising, as they bring quick
financial returns, but extensive farm
ing by irrigation will be the main oc-
cupation.
IN the selection of the colonists t
is understood that certificates of moral
and physical soundness will be ex-
pected but the colony is to be non

contemplated. Educational interests
of the colony will be looked after from

who the philanthropist may be- Some
say it is Helen Gould, but the seer ct

party is of national prominence.

MARKETING APPLES.
A Lesson Which the Farmers Have
Learned This Year.

Selling on the trees is an expensive
way of selling fruit, for one has to sell
at a discount. The buyer must protect
himself and he must have guarantee
against loss from windstorms and the
like. This year the growers of apples
in Illinois found it difficult to get into
touch with the sellers. Senator Henry
M. Dunlap believes that the Illinois
fruit growers have learned lesson
this year they will long remember.
For few years past the buyers have
had to come to them, and the fruit
growers have insisted that the buyers
should provide packages. But this year
the tables have turned. says Farmers
Review The growers have had to
hunt the buyers. and they were hard
to find. This year the buyers were
scattered all over the United States
looking for apples, while in recent
years many have been found in Illinois
and neighboring states. The large
supplies of apples in other states this
year drew away the buyers and the
growers had to hasten to get buyers
for their stuff.
Some of the buyers that generally
look after Illinois apples were this
year in New York. There they watched
the crop and tried to buy it, hoping
to get it at from rs cents to S1.25 per
barrel, or at most $3.50 per barrel.
The New York growers refused to
sell at that figure and sat down and
waited. At every large apple center
in New York were found buyers wait
ing for the farmers to come to their
senses" But the farmers did not
come to their senses, and the buyers
had to give in. They finally paid from
$3.50 to $2.25 for their apples. But in
the West the apples sold for very
low price where the growers were not
In a position to pack their own ap-
pies. The buyers prefer that the farm.
ers pack their own apples when they
do it right. The only reason that the
buyers want to pack the apples they
buy is because the fasRers do not
generally pack the apples as the buy
ers want them packed. Other things
being equal, the buyers prefer to have
the growers do the packing, as that
relieves the buyers of the necessity
of packing the fruit The growers can
pack the fruit much more cheaply
than the buyers, as the growers can
generally get some help from their
families, and they also have hired
men that are working by the month.
The buyer has to go out and hire day
labor at high price, and he has to
spend his own time in supervision.

MISTAKES IN oRcHARDING.
Common Errors Committed by the
inexperienced.

The first mistake I think all begin
ners make is in assuming that it is
only necessary to secure piece of
ground, and without any knowledge of
soil adaptability plant Ben Davis trees
and then expect, without much ex-
pense or labor, to in few years reap
a golden harvest.
Another mistake is in neglecting to
carefully prune each and every year
until bearing. If pruning is neglected
for three four or five years at time,
1t is almost impossible without great
hazard to ever get the top in such con-
dition as will make profitable bear.
ing tree.
1t is a mistake, says Farm and
Home, to set trees perpendicular,
They should lean sharply, perhaps 20
degrees, to the southwest if you would
have them standing erect at bearing.
Corn, peas, beans or potatoes may
be cultivated among young trees, but
small grains or grasses never Wheat,
rye or clover is less injurious than
oats, which is about equal to fire in
destructive elements. 1t is mistake
to allow cattle or sheep, under any
circumstances, to pasture in apple
orchards in any season of the year.
1t is a great mistake after the trees
get to be five years old not to keep the
orchard we'll stocked with young hogs.
l find young hogs very efficient and
cheap cultivator to have around the
trunk of the tree, if properly encour-
aged by sprinkling few handfuls of
wheat or rye under the tree where you
want roofing done. They are also one
of the very cheapest and best extermi-
majors of field mice, which are getting
to be one of the worst species of apple
tree pests in some regions.
Another mistake | think we all
make, more or less, is in allowing the
grub and fat headed borers to take
care of themselves and likewise of the
trees. Trees should be carefully ex-
amined twice a year. spring and fall,
for these pests. Most of us only ex-
anime such trees as show by the un-
healthy appearance of the foliage that
they are affected. / think the foliage
of the trees will not indicate the raw
ages of borers until the second year
after first attacked. There will be
nothing lost in examining each and
every tree for borers, whether you
find them or not.
