S24 PER TON

Farmers throughout the peninsula are
discussing the remarkable high price OF
hay. For years the price has not equalled
the present figures, and farmers are gen.
orally condeming their own luck and
judgment for not raising more of this
staple forage crop when with some varie.
ties five or six crops may be harvested in
a year from the same field. No. Tim
othy hay is quoted in Baltimore at S24
per ton by the carload lots. One year ago
it was considered exceptionally high at
$3.50 and SIS per ton. The receipts. in
Baltimore for the past two days only aver
aged twelve cars, making the offerings ex-
ceptionalIy light. In another month,
however, new hay will begin to move,
and the farmers living along the bay
shores and all through the peninsula are
looking with longing at the price calen-
dars.

BEES NOT BUSY; PEARS MAY SUFFER-

According to an authority on fruit sub
iects, the busy bees Of this Peninsula have
failed to do their customary service for
humanity. Their failure to get busy at
the proper time has caused heavy loss
in the year crop Of the Peninsula, partic-
ularly the prolific Keiffer pears. A fruit
authority says:
"Keiffer pears have suffered from the
rains, and it was 30 wet and cold at the
time of blossoming that bees could not
convey the pollen from one bud to another
and thus fertilize the pears. Conse.
quently the pear crop will be a failure.
Peaches are hurt badly and there will not
be more than one-third of crop. Plums
are injured and white apples are not yet
far enough advanced to permit Of calcu-
lation, at the best this cannot be consid-
cred as fruit year"

stating that he would appear before that

sion to lay tracks through portion Of

Mr.. Endean will have maps and plans
showing the roads his company desires
to use. The letter goes on to state that
the trolley road will be of heavy. I rail
and cross tie construction, and that BAL
last will be OF gravel, cinders and broken
stone, which will make hard surface on
all the roads. The tracks will be drained
into side cutters, and rails will be laid
flush with the roadway, SO that vehicles
can use the improved road, only turning
out at the approach of cars. These roads
will be uniform width OF 3S feet. clear
of the rails, and where present conditions
do not permit Of this width, the company
will acquire the necessary land, move the
fences back, and deed the land to the
county for road purposes. 1t will also
keep the roads in full repair for two feet
each side of the tracks.
Signal arms for warning purposes will
be placed at every road crossing, and
these will be lighted at nights. Steel
poles will be used, SO that the roads will
not be lined with unsightly, crooked
wooden poles. The interested parties
guarantee to keep the roadway in good
condition at all times.
Mr.. Endean will also ask that the fran
chise requested by the company on De-
cember 4th, 1905, be granted. If the
franchise is granted by the court, the
letter states that active operations will
begin at once upon the construction OF
the road. 1t will touch several towns of
New Castle County as well as a number
in Kent. British capitalists are said to
be collaborating with Delaware monied

DANGER SIGNALS
Valuable Formula For Americas
National Disease

Natures danger signals are a coated
tongue and bad breath. They usually go
together. There is nothing more often.
sive than bad breath, and nothing more
to be avoided. When the tongue is coated
and the breath foul the whole aIimentary
canal is in state of ferment Nervous
ness, headache, kidney and liver trouble,
constipation and about 'tall the ills that
flesh is heir to- are the sequence of this
condition. They record the fact that the
intestinal tract is so-called with impurities
that its walls cannot absorb nourishment
from the food, and they also record the
fact that there is urgent need for few
liberal doses of the following mixture:
Tincture Cinchona Compound, q OF; Kas.
tor Compound, l OF; Fluid Extract Cas-
cara Aromatic, l OF; which would
promptly correct the dire uncIeanliness
within. There is no possibility of your
having coated tongue or bad breath if
you take spoonful before or after each
meal, or on retiring for the night. 1t will
guarantee good digestion, prevent fer
mentation and aid healthful evacuation.
But, if through neglect of this wise pre-
caution, or owing to overfeeding or over
indulgence in alcoholic stimulents, you
find yourself with a coated tongue and
bad breath you should Immediately resort
to the use Of the above mixture, which
will quickly dispel the unheathful condi-
tions and sweeten and purify your stom-
ach. You can have this formula prepared
at small cost at your local drug store.

WHEAT AT THE DOLLAR MARK

Wheat in Chicago has risen 10
the magic dollar mark. Crop re-
ports. which indicate heavy dam
age, stimulated enormous buying
and that sent the price OF the
s.staff Of life" flying upward.
The farmers will not lose mucn,
even if the winter wheat yield
does fall off 1Oo,oO0,0Oo bushels.
The price they receive for a crop
four-fifths as large as that OF
last year will equal the money
obtained for the banner harvest
of 1906. But because the far mer
will get as many dollars
for a small crop as he would Tor
a big one, it does not follow that
there is no loss in an inferior har'
vest. To cut off 100, ,O0O,oO
bushels of wheat, which would
have been sold to Europe, is like
losing about s75, 100000 of i'm
ported foreign gold-it is a dead
loss. The American consumers
will pay the American farmer as
much for the bread they consume
next year as the American con-
sumers and the foreign buyers
paid for the bumper crop. OF last
year. The results is that while
the farmer comes out even, the
home consumer foots the BILL
and the country at large loses
the beneficial effect of an over

u. ~. HUCGHToE,
Entomologist to the Delaware Expert
ment Station.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1907-10-18
Lancaafer.
LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. s, 1907


A revival of trading occurred in local
tobacco circles the past week, and con-
siderable 1906 goods changed hands,
mostly in small lots. Manufacturers
were the principal buyers, and the pur-
chases were intended for early use. The
prices ranged from 2l to 2219 cents act
ual weight. There have been plenty of
inquiries from out-of-town Dealers but
the big buyers are holding back, evi
IDENTIFY with the idea that prices will
break. The, local dealers say there is no
danger of this because when they can
not get fair price they will simply re-
fuse to sell in bulk, and will do as they
did with the 1905 goods to a large ex-
extent, sell it in small lots to the manu-
facturers. 1t took longer to work it off,
to be sure, but, then, on the other hand,
they secured better prices than by sell
ing in large lots. The 1906 tobacco cost
the packers so much that they must
have good prices in order to have fair
margin of profit, and they have given the
out of town buyers to understand this.
The latter may hold off buying awhile,
but they will have to come to it before
long, simply because they must have the
goods to do business with.
The 1907 crop of Lancaster county is
practically housed, and the growers feel
satisfied that they have a very good ar
ticle-not just as good as the 1906 tohac-
co, perhaps, but an excellent article.
Most of it was in good condition when
cut, fit for shedding, and if there are few
leaves to the stalk, and these not so
large as of the 1906 crop, the leaves are
heavier. 1t would be pretty good gnes IS
to say that the crop will yield somewhere
around 10000 cases.
The local cigar business appears to
have taken another grip on prosperity,
and manufacturers are now hustling
aroud after OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Era.
