POLITE LANGUAGE FAILED HIM.
Comment on Soup Was Worth For
fixture of Nickel.

There are two little brothers, now
living in New York, who came here not
long ago from Western army post.
Their father, an officer, had been sta.
toned there for several years, and
the boys were born there. The free.
outdoor life threw them much with
the cavalry troopers of the post, and
their vocabulary is picturesquely
sprinkled with vigorous expressions.
This fact, somehow, was not so notice
able in the west, but after the young
sters came here to live the family be-
gan a determined effort to break
them OF profanity.
Il will give each of you two boys
five cents for every day on which you
don't swear" said the father, "but,
mind you, you lose it if you forget
yourself even once"
Since then the two have earned
considerable money, and, though there
have been many days when the sum
had to be forfeited, there has been a
steady Improvement There are
times, however, as the boys can bear
witness, which pass beyond all en-
durance. For instance, the other
evening when the brothers were din
ing with their parents at their grand
fathers, a soup, which was a dis
tinct failure, was placed upon the
table. The grown people, after tast-
ing it, were too polite to make any
comments, but contented themselves
with leaving it unfinished. Not so
the boys. Disappointment and dis
approval were evident on their faces.
Papa" he asked, will you surely
make me lose my five cents if !

Certainly, son; you know that"
was the answer

year-old, you can keep your money
to-day, for this is d bad soup!"-

they took tobacco at as high figures as
they had offered. And there is no doubt
that some legitimate packers, too, went
back on some of their contracts for the
same reason. Such scurvy treatment is
enough cause for the growers feeling
sore over their treatment. So far as can
be ascertained, the new crop is doing

has been so little sold it is impossible
yet to say what it's selling price is, but it
is likely, of course. to be beyond the
price of the goods of 1905. or the latter
very little was sold the past week. and it
went at Is and 20 cents, marked weight.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Once more we must repeat the old
story of no sales of tobacco held by the
farmers of this section. But we have
learned through the trade papers that
prices have s:iffened to quite an extent
among tobacco producers 10 other parts
of the country. The cold weather of the
past week has had it's effect at least up
on the minds of the farmers in this Sec
rion. Many of them have put the second
lot of seed into the sprouting pans, not
that it was necessary in all cases. The
ground for a number of mornings has
been frozen but do not think the frost
has been heavy enough to kill the
sprouts or the plants that have appeared
above the ground, at least not where the
beds have been covered by either glass
or cloth. But it is we'll to be on the safe
as it requires but little seed to SOW bed
in proportion to other crops. Plants, no
doubt will be little later than last
year; should say from one week to ten
days later. But as the weather may
warm up and some good growing wealth,
er occur between now and the setting
time, the lateness may not amount to
one week even But it is generally
thought that setting time will be some
days later than usual. Cultivator.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

With the tobacco handling season
practically at an end, the chic: concern
now is centered in the prospects for the
coming crop. Up to the present writing
the weather conditions have been such
as to offer little encouragement. While
the young plants are showing on we'll
protected beds, the growth has been ex-
ceedlngly slow, and under the most fav-
orable conditions from now on the trans
planting season promises to be late.
With the exception of the L. w. Scott
warehouse, the handling of last seasons
crop is entirely closed in this market,
though few scattering lots may yet be
purchased to be put over the tables.
There is prevailing complaint of a
dull market for cured goods and trans
actions are confined generally to small
lots. Manufacturers are believed to be
playing waiting game and buying only
from hand to mouth as their necessities
require.
The shipments out of storage will
exceed 900 cases from this market to all
points for the week past

Wisconsin agricultural experiment sta
ton. the interesting statement is made
that 13,477 pounds of sugar beets were
added to the regular yield in one field

Investigations and experiments upon
which the statistics compiled are founded
are the work of Prof f. w. Woll of the

and Prof G. w. Stoddart of the soils de-

investigations we're to study the adapt
ability to sugar beet culture of charac-
teristic types of Wisconsin soils, from
light, sandy loan to heavy clay, and to
determine what system of fertilization
will produce best results for factory pur-
poses, taking both the yield and quality
of the beets into consideration. Ter
farms in four counties of the state were
selected, and upon these experiments
were conducted.

Cheerful Attitude Toward Tent Tobacco.

While it has host of knockers" tent
tobacco will again be grown in New Eng
land this season to moderate extent.
The few courageous ones who have
stuck to the business since the crash of
'03 profess to see hight ahead. True, e.
Il. Smith, the biggest shade tobacco
grower in Massachusetts, will cut down
his acreage under cloth this season, but
he will not quit the business. In fact,
be informed New England Homestead
editorial representative few days ago
that he is hopeful of developing better
and more desirable type of tent leaf for
New England.
Several growers will increase the shade
tobacco acreage this summer. A. and S,
Hart nan will put out or 8 acres at
Manchester. Probably the biggest tent
tobacco outfit in New England at pres
ent is the Connecticut Tobacco Corpora
tion, which operates big farm at Tar
iffville. Secretary Charles Soby of the
company says: This year we will raise
100 acres of Cuban tobacco under cover
and SO acres in the open. Eventually
we aim to have $50 acres under tent.
This season we are putting up five new
sheds to take care of the prospective in
crease in our crop. We have had excel
lent success with our shade grown to-
bacco, and believe it will be big thing
for New England in years to come. We
have cut out Sumatra, as it develops too
slowly for this climate. However, Cuban

ening rapidly and making d most salts

New YORK, May 4, 100

Market conditions do not improve.
Manufacturers are continuing to play
their waiting game in the face of steady
increase in their cigar output during the
first three months of the current year.
The internal revenue returns just in
show an increase of fifty-six millions in
large cigars during that period and one
of nearly seventy millions in little cigars.
In ordinary times such an increase would
be hailed as satisfactory proof of undi
minished prosperity. But because the
increases are somewhat below the figures
of the increase during the first three
months Of 1905, the complaint is heard
in manufacturing circles that the cigar
activity is slackening up and it is on
that sentiment that they base their ex-
pectation for reduction of the price Of
their raw material. The market, how
ever, does not show any signs of weaken
ing. Stocks are being held at just as
stiff figures as they we're before and
whoever is in need of tobacco has to pay
the price for it. A large block of Wis
consin, amounting to 500 cases, was dis
posed of during the week and though
the price is not reported. it may be taken
for granted that it was not sold at cut
rate. The trade In Sumatra continues
satisfactory to the importers. Sales are
steady and do not seem to provoke any
stirring complaints either as to price or
as to the character of the leaf The Ha-
vana market, though still lacking activ-
ity, is likely to start up in a boom again
if the bad reports about the effects of
the drouth continue. At any rate, the
appearance of the new crop in the mar
ket will be unusually late this season. =

Lancaster.
LANCASTER. Pa. Anril 30. 1907

During the past week there was very
little selling of 1906 tobacco. The report
of sales at the old time prices having
gone around, our growers refused to let
go of their crops at any lower figures,
concluding that they could get what was
paid to others. 1t was stated that Ju-
lius Vetterlein of Philadelphia was offer
ing 141a cents, but this is denied, with
the statement that he is only offering
1216 cents Some of our dealers claim
that much more tobacco is held by the
growers than is generally supposed, a
fact due to so many crops having been
thrown back on the growers hands by
irresponsible speculators, who discarded
their contracts when they found they
were likely to get their fingers burned if
