NOT soSDUcvE TO GOOD RESULTS
Weather unfavorabls for Rish. Curing Of
Tobacco in Sheds

mere mas Deen not little talk on
part of members ef the American So
ciety of Equity looking to the building
of another tobacco warehouse in this
city for the use of the members of the
society who desire to pool or, handle
their own tobacco. 1t is averred that
the place they have used for the past
two years has been either leased or
purchased by other buyers Nothing
definite has been dore so far as we are
advised, but the project is under adj
yisemeSt,
Nothing especially new to take note
of locally beyond the speculation con-
corning the condition that shielded leaf
is liable to be in If the cool damp wealth
er continues. Some fears are enter
tanned about the outcome. On this point
the Edgerton Tobacco Reporter COM
ments: The temperature prevailing
for the greater part of October so far
has ranged much too low to assist in
the satisfactory curing of the hanging
tobacco crop. Warmer days than those
which do not range much aboy. che
freezirg point are necessary to help
out the curing of the late harvested to-
bacco. Especially green cut tobacco
makes but little progress under such
conditions, and unless milder weather
is yet to come there is a greater danger
from fat stems than was anticipated a
few weeks ago. There may be warm
Indian days yet in store for us, to re.
iieye any anxiety growers may enter
tain from this source, and they are
needed. For similar reasons the strip
ping of the early crops may have to be
postponed beyond the usual dates be-
cause of the slow curing of the stems.
Little can be gained by removing a crop
from the poles until the mid-rib is thor
oughly cured out, for the moisture of
the stem is absorbed by the leaf after
being placed in the bundle and high
case leaf is the consequence. One of
the NEST difficult problems the packer
has to contend with is how to treat the
high case and heavy stems that fire.
.quently reach the warehouse largely
through neglect or inexperience of the
grower. The consequences that devel-
oped from the '06 crop have not been
forgotten +"
'The market for cured leaf is surely
picking mp. Several out of town buy
ers have visited the state and number
of fair-sized transactions have resulted.
The call is largely for the '08, though
exporters are searching the market for
any class of goods that can be found to
meet their ideas regarding price"
A well known packer has recently
taken the trouble to gather an estimate
of the proportion of the 700 crop sold,
and reports that statistics returned
from over twenty points in the state
show that 65 per cent. is under con-
tract at that date. Deduct further at
least 10 per cent. of the crop ruined by
the early freeze in the northern sec
tions and you gain an approximate es-
innate OF the crop yet to market.
