Phenomenal Returns Sometimes kfs
Earned by Growers
The year just closed will nass into
history as the most prosperous one
ever experienced by the growers of to-
bacco in Wisconsin. Whatever there
is in store in the future for the dealers
who now practically own the 1906
crop whether it earns them a profit
or a loss-need not concern the farm
er, for his position is secure. He Is
already counting his profit and it
amounts to something phenomenal
when viewed in the light of recent sta
tistics regarding the acreage, yield
and price paid the producer.
Assuming that the statistics OF the
agricultural department are reasona-
bly,. correct, let us estimate what the
profits of last seasons tobacco crop
were to the growers of Wisconsin. 1t
is generally conceded that the 1906
crop amounted close to 10000 acres,
yielding 1,275 pounds to the acre,
while the average price paid to grow
ers is given at 13 IL cents by the gov
eminent report. In other words, the
gross receipts of each acre would
amount to $17212.
Deducting the cost of raising,
which under the most conservative es-
Inmates cannot exceed $40 per acre,
and it is generally believed that most
Of the tobacco of Wisconsin is grown
at cost of less than $50 per acre,
we have at least a profit of $132 on
every acre produced in the state. This
would mean an enormous total of $5,-
100000 of clean, cold profits to be paid
the tobacco growers of Wisconsin.
No such profits were ever before paic
TO so small a number Of producers in
the West The figures are unprece-
denied and almost challenge the Gre
