positively identified Maybray as the
st. Louis horseman.

st. Louis, also met Maybray in Jail
and he later asserted that Maybray
was none other than Mccain. Ee

Mccain when they lived in st. Louis.
Maybray denies that he is Mccain
and in an interview said:

They have me listed as everything

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERTON, WIS. july 2. 1903.

EDGERTON, WIS, July z, IJUS.
The planting of the new crop has pro-
gressed so nicely during the week that
possibly 80 per cent of the intended ac-
reage has been safely transferred to
the fields by the close of June, so that
few days more will see the crop out
within the usual planting limits. The
soil was in such excellent condition to
receive the young plants that the
growth has hardly been checked in the
transplanting and the early fields are
reported to be looking splendid. So
far, too, but little complaint is heard of
the work of cut woms and growers
generally feel very well pleased at the
present outlook.
While the market for old leaf can
hardly be said to show very marked
improvement, there is some business
which local packers hope will lead to
more extensive trading later on. Some
where near 1000 cases of '06 and '07
goods have been moved by GAINESVILLE
packers recently, and inquiry for sam
pies and prices are much more frequent
than for some time past.
The shipments out of storage reach
1876 cases to all points from this market
for the week. Since last report four
car loads have been received.

LANCASTER, Pa, June 22, 1909.

LANCASTER, Pa, June 22, 1909:
While the planting of this seasons s
tobacco was practically finished week
ago, there are places here and there in
the county where the plants have not
yet been set out, for various reasons,
though this will be done this week. The
planting has ranged over such a con-
siderable period of time that it is bound
to be most uneven crop. Cut-worms
are reported as being bad in certain
sections, and as plants are scarce the
unfortunate growers who must replant
will have trouble getting plants.
The packers are still Jogging along,
doing jobbing business with local
manufacturers The largest sale in old
goods reported recently was one of 100
cases of 1906, made by Hoffman Graber
of Maytown, who received IL cents
pound. One fairly large sale of 1908
tobacco was also reported last week,
A. H. Sondheimer having sold 200 cases.
There has been trifie stiffening of
the cigar industry, if the reports may
be>relied on, though it has apparently
only affected the larger manufacturers.
AS the dull, midsummer season is at
land, very little Improvement is ex-
pected by the trade generally until fall,
even with the tariff agitation settled
New Era.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1909-07-02
New England.

Several thousand acres of tobacco
still remain to be set in the Connecti-
cut Valley. Better progress has been
made the past week in transplanting
than in any preceding week. The tenn
perature was so low Thursday and Fri
day nights that frost was feared in
some parts of the valley. The present
outlook is that transplanting will be fin
ished before July 1.
Despite the fact that the crop is at
least two weeks late, the plants that
have been spared by the cut-worms
have seldom appeared more thrifty.
The abundant rains Of the past two
months have greatly reduced the likell-
hood of damage by drouth. While the
growers are undeniably anxious because
of the backwardness of the season,
many of them point out that late to-
bacco has frequently proved the best:
In some towns there is the unusual
spectacle of cutting hay on one side OF
the road while tobacco fields remain un-
set on the other.
Cut and wire worms have appeared
in veritable armies within few days.
In Suffield their ravages have caused
despair on the part of some growers,
particularly as the shortage of plants is
pronounced In many fields 25 per
cent Of the plants have been destroyed.
The worms are so numerous that pol
sonous preparations, which are effec-
tive under ordinary circumstances, do
not avail.
Favorable reports are received from
