Government REPORT
ON TOBACCO RAISING

washington, Dec. s. (Spl) - An
interesting report just issued by the
department of agriculture on tobacco
production in the United states,
shows while some tobacco is pro
duced in almost every state, less than
/ per cent. of this country's crop is
grown west OF the Mississippi, Texas
being the only trans Mississippi state
in which the industry has gained
much importance.
Kentucky leads all the states in to-
bacco growing. 1t produces more
than one-third of the United States
crop, and about one-ninth OF the en-
tire crop of the world.
The tobacco grown in the United
States is of two general types OF
classes, (1) cigar tobacco, and (2)
chewing, smoking, snuff and export
tobaccos. In 1908 something more
than 15O,O00,000 pounds of cigar to-
bacco was grown in the United
States, and nearly four times that
amount of the other types.
The cigar tobaccos are grown
mostly in New England, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Wisconsin, though
there is a considerable and rapidly
increasing production of this type
in Georgia, Florida, and Texas. The
tobacco used for chewing, smoking
snuff and export is produced mos
heavily in Kentucky, Tennessee
North Carolina, Virginia, and South
Carolina.
Tobacco production is largely con
fined to certain clearly defined dis
tricts, each of which produces a spe
cial type and fills a demand for thai
type. The kind of tobacco grown ii
particular districts depends mainly
on the nd climate conditions.

KAYNESBURG Man HAS
REMARKABLE CAREER

L. L. Mowls of Waynesburg, this
county, has been making for himself
an excellent record since entering the
Ohio State University in 1906.
When he. graduates in June of next
year from that institution he will
leave a record in scholarship and a
list of honors. such as is seldom
equalled by student in any univers-
ity.
He has been especially interested in
the department of animal husbandry
of the Agricultural College and his
record there won for him the admir-
alton of his professors, and in 1907
he was awarded a j. Ogden Armour
scholarship by the faculty OF that
college.
When the college time to select a
team to represent ire college in the
annual students Judging contest, held
under the auspices of the Internation-
al Live Stock association, at the I'm
ion Stock Yards at Chicago, on No
vember 81, Mr.. Mowls was one OF the
first men to be selected.
In this contest he made remark
able record for himself and for the
Agricultural College, standing as first
man in whole contest, with a score o1
1896 points out of possible 1900.
Seven colleges, representing as
many states, sent teams of five men
to compete in this contest, and these
teams are made up of the best youne
men in the country from Texas tc
Ontario, and from Ohio to Nebraska
Mr.. Mowls was high man in horse!
and sheep in the whole contest anc
ranked among the highest on cattle
and swine. He was awarded the non
ors of the contest by the stock show
management, and the department o.
animal husbandry of the Agriculture
College will have his, name inscribed
on the plate on the base OF the horse
trophy belonging to the college.
Mr.. Mowls worked through the show
season OF 1909 with Zehring Bros.
Holstein breeders of Germantown
Ohio. and helped them show their cat
lie at the Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky ant
Texas state fairs, and at several o
ohio's leading county fairs, so he ha'
had much added to his practical AM
scientific knowledge during the pas
three years.

STORY TOLD IN COURT OF HOW
CUSTOM HOUSE GRAFT
WAS WORKED,
SPECIAL 10 THE NEWS.

bBEClAlI III THE NEWS.
New York, Dec. S.-The name OF
James Il. Bendernagel, former cash
ier of the HavenIeyer G. Elder refin-
cry in Williamsburg, figured more
prominently today than at any time
since the beginning of the sugar trust
in the United States circuit court
nearly two weeks ago.
Frank j. Hornby, an assistant gov
ernment weigher, told of a conversa-
ton he had in December, 1896, with a
man whom he subsequently learned,
was Bendernagle This conversation
took place on the williamsburg dock
and two government laborers named
Mulhall and White were present. Null
hall testified positively that the man
Hornby talked with Bendernagle and
that oliver Splitter was there too,
though Hornby said he did not know
that.
The circumstance of the conversa-
ton as testified to by Hornby was
that he found several bags of sugar
on the docks which had not been
weighed. He went back to do this
when he met Bendernagel who told
him that the sugar had been weigh
ed.
A dispute arose between the two
men and Bendernagel told Hornby:
"You are too d smart; I've got
better heads in the custom house
than yours and I'll get that"
Hornby said that he was removed
that day from the cargo he was weigh
| ing and the next day was removed
| from the dock.
"How do you recall all these circum-
stances so readily?" asked Mr.. Stim-
son.
"I kept a diary"
Hornby tEpn started to tell Of an
other conversation in which Bender
nagel figured although the latter was
not present but this recital was de-
ferred until tomorrow and court ad-
| journed.
James Conlin. also an assistant
government weigher, testified to find
ing a piece of iron and two iron nuts
| attached to one Of the scales which
he discovered after an experience
with Kehoe, one Of the defendants
He said he observed that the scales
were not balancing properly wher
Tlehoe was checking with him and
on investigation found the iron wire
and nuts.
He showed those to Kehoe, who
begged him not to say anything abou
the incident. He reported the cast
however, to George Baldwin, the dis
trict weigher over him, and soon al
ter he was transferred.
"a case of q man being transferred
for vigilance" remarked Mr.. Stimson
Harry Waters, liquidator in tn
custom house, who had been asked b!
the government prosecutor to prepar
tabulations of the cargoes and dutie
paid on thcae importations during tn
period covered by the indictmeh'
took the stand to swear to their prep
aratlon. These tabulations were pU
in evidence and then handed to tn
Jury for examination Winfred Den
ison, Mr.. Stimson's assistant, ais
read to the jury the weights of tn,
same cargoes as recorded in the pinl
books used by the sugar company
checkers showing that prior to tn
raid on November 20, 1907, the entrie
ran from 9S6 pounds to 99S pounds ant
after that date from 1904 pounds t.
1926 pounds.
