Tobacco Growers Organize.

At meeting of tobacco growers at
the office of f. r. Derrick last Friday
night, the Brodhead Tobacco Growers
Association was launched into existence.
About thirty growers were present and
the meeting was an enthusiastic one.
Mr.. G. c. Campbell was elected tempo
rary chairman and G.. f.. Dixon was
elected secretary. After the organiza-
tion permanent officers we're elected as
follows: Pres, f. r. Derrick; Sec, G.
E. Dixon.
The object of the organization was
discussed pro and con and it was the
sentiment that such an organization was
necessary here and also that the time
was now ripe for it. The matter of Sc
curing the much coveted fertilizer by
the tobacco grower was discussed at
some length and there will probably be
a good deal of experimenting with arti-
fetal this year. The matter of securing
good mem bership was discussed and
the meeting was adjourned until Tues
day night, meanwhile members were
solicited The fee for admission is fifty
cents and any one who is interested in
tobacco growing or in the welfare of the
city is eligible to membership.
The growers have taken the right step
and every grower in this section of the
country should lend his assistance to the
organization. Similar organizations have
accomplished much in other localities
and there is no good reason why it can
not do as much here -Brodhead Ind

With the exception of few deals in
Wisconsin, nothing of interest has trans
pired in the local domestic market since
last week. The period of midwinter
dullness seems to have arrived, and with
it the market has lost all life and inter
est. However, a different state of affairs
is expected shortly, for the manufactur
ers are busy, and when the demand
comes it will come with rush.
Suuatra -Sumatra is moving some
what better than previously, and several
transactions are reported. Every one is
waiting for the opening of the inscrip-
tions on March s. The Sumatra buyers
of most of the local houses have left for
Amsterdam.
Havana The week has brought no
new Developments in this type of leaf.
The market here is not overloaded with
tobacco. The market in Havana seems
to be in the same condition. All eyes
are turned toward the growing crop, and
hopes are high that crop fair IN guam
tity at least will be harvested Leaf.

LANCASTER, PA, Feb Il, 1907.
Business in cased leaf tobaccos as
sumed little more activity during the
past week and nearly thousand cases
changed owners But there has been no
advance in prices. Goods have been sold
as low as IL cents marked weights, al
though other lots fetched 10.
There has also been little more do
ing in the 1906 crop. There is appar-
emily good deal more unsold than was
thought, some localities reporting many
lots. The price is about IA cents, which
is two cents less than the goods COM
manded during last fall. | think the
crop would be promptly lifted If it could
be had from 13 to IA cents.
The growers hereabouts appear to
have surfeit of selling their crops in
the field and even on the laths, and
there is general feeling among them
that unless certain price per acre is
paid down when the tobacco is contract
ed for, it will not be sold before it is
stripped or ready to be stripped

aud completeness of the downward
movement had hardly been expected by
buyers themselves. The situation vim
dicates buyers who refused to meet
growers prices in the fall. Recent sales
include large purchases by owners of
packing houses who had previously an
nounced that, rather than pay the prices
which growers asked, they would not
open their warehouses this season.
Inquiry in the Broad leaf district re-
veals that the lowest prices in five years
prevail in Broad leaf, though the col
lapse has not been so pronounced as in
Havana Seed tobacco. The American
Tobacco Co. are charged with being the
cause of the Broad leaf Weakness Care
full consideration of the situation, how
ever, hardly seems to warrant the asper-
sion. In fact, some buyers have openly
charged the American Tobacco Co. with
paying more for tobacco than it was
worth in order to handicap the indepen-
dent dealers. This fact is said to be the
real explanation of recent large sales of
1905 tobacco by the trust at prices which
meant considerable net loss. At any
rate, it is certain that the trust could
buy 1906 tobacco cheaper today than it
did last fall, when upward of 2200 cases
were contracted for by it's representa-
tivaS

EDGERToN. WIS.,, March /, 1907

EDGERTON, WIS. MARCH l., ISOt'
More effort has been made of late to
take over the unsold portion of last sea-
sons crop than for some time past. Buy
ers are again riding the growing districts,
among them some firms that have not
heretofore been interested in the deal.
Sales coming to notice, however, indi-
cate that the tobacco is being lifted at
from IL to Ii cents for wrapper and
binder grades, which are several points
under earlier quotations, while some re-
iected lots are bought at even less fig
ures. Some low grades are also being
sold by packers for the account of the
scrap manufacturers. and these too bring
less money than earlier in the season.
A liberal amount of tobacco is still
coming to receiving points and consid-
erable amount of deductions and allow
ances are consented to before settlements
are effected. Warehouse handling is be-
ing crowded along at the packing points
as fast as possible. A few concerns have
already finished the work of the season
and others begin to see the end.
A dull market for old stock continues
and transactions are confined to small
lots on manufacturers orders.
Shipments out of storage reach % car
loads, 1922 cases, aside from 25 cars of
bundle leaf. During the week 30 car
loads have reached this market from
outside points for handling.

SprOuting Tobacco Seed.

1t is common custom in the Connec.
ticut valley to sprout part of the seed
before sowing in beds This sprouting
is usually done in rotted apple tree wood
or cocoanut fiber. When the sprouts
have been we'll started they are thor
oughly separated and sowed with an
equal measure of dry seed. There is no
doubt but that this method produces
the earliest plants, and the sprouted
seed in the present arrangement OF seed
beds means gain of several days in
earliness for part of the plants. How
ever, it was observed last season hat
where plants from sprouted seed grew
side by side with plants from dry seed,
other differences could often be observ-
ed. In many cases the diseased and
freak plants could be traced directly to
the sprouted seed. In other words, it
seems probable, particularly where the
sprouts are allowed to grow n inch or
more before sowing in the seed bed, that
many of the young plants are injured
during the process of sowing in the bed.
This injury frequently results in abnor-
NAL plants which develop unusual and
undeeira ble types of plants.
Ii the seed is sprouted before sowing
1t should be sowed before the sprouts
reach over a inch in length. In fact it
is desirable to SOW as soon as the young
sprouts appear, and any injured plants
which are fonnd at the time of trans
planting should be discarded.
One of the means of securing uniform
crops is by the selection of plants in the
seed bed at the time of trapsplantiDg.
At this early stage of growth, the shape
of leaf, the comparative ,vigor of growth,
and the general type OF the plants can
be observed. II this matter is taken in
to consideration and the plants pulled
by someone who is capable OF discardng
the individuals of poor type, the benefit
from this kind of selection will he very
marked and noticeable in the field. 1t
is supplementary to the selection ~ the
seed plants, and by combining both
methods of selection. the rate Of i'm
provement can be increased and i'm
proved type more rapidly developed.

IF cigar leaf were traded on an ex-
change like other products of the soil,
such as wheat, corn, coffee or cotton,
the news of 1.-The absorption of the United
Cigar Manufacturers Co. by the Ameri-
can Cigar Co." which was circulated in
the market on Monday last as fact and
is still believed in the market to be
fact in spite of the strenuous denlnal by
both parties to the DEAL a terrific slump
in prices such as only genuine panic
could cause would have resulted. For
the news was received with all outward
signs Of the distress of a panic. The
pictures drawn of the effcts of such an
absorption were as dark as-those drawn
of the day of judgment. But this pan
icky feeling vanished as suddenly as it
had seized the market. BY the end of
the week full confidence was restored,
/ and though She market regsalns indolent
it has no bargains to offer. Prices are
being held firm though few transactions
of any note take place. The impression
noticed in this place last week, namely
when the market becomes stocked with
a more adequate supply of leaf prices
will have to bend, seems to spreda and
act as barrier against any speculative
investments. But the stock on hand will
nevertheless ooze out till the expected
time comes. For no matter how we'll
cigar factories may have stocked up, the
increase of the output is such that they
possibly could not run for months with,
out supplementing their supply. And
though they may expect shakedoWn IN
the price of some domestic types, no such
hope has the slightest chance of realiza-
ton in regard to the wrapper leaf. The
inscriptions of the 1906 Sumatra crop
will start in next month. The size of
that crop is held to be 238,5OO bales,
while the 1905 crop had yielded $3.50
| bales. The 1906 crop was therefore
| larger only by l3,00O.bales, but just such
quantity was destroyed by fire. With
the crop therefore not larger than the
year before and with greater demand
on it by our own as we'll as the European
| cigar factories, the price of Sumatra this
! year much more likely to jump up than
doWn.-Journal
