COLFAx, WIS.,, Sept. 27, 1910.

The tobacco crop in the vicinity of
Colfax was all harvested by Sept. 1st
and is so we'll cured down that the first
could be stripped if it was later. The
leaf is very spready and of good tex
ture and color. A good portion of it
will size out from 25 to 81 inches. The
crop is free from field and shed dam
age and farmers are not willing to part
with it unless they get a good price.
The tobacco crop since 1906 has not
been paying the farmers what it ought
to. If it don't take a change soon the
tobacco will soon be thing of the
past, as it has decreased in acreage
about 80 pei. cent in three years. Sec
tions where they raised carloads before
have not plant this year. Farmers
in general will turn their attention to
dairying and stock raising and fix their
tobacco sheds for barns and other pur-
poses. There have been built many
silos this year and next year they will
be more numerous, for when dairy
cows average from $75 to $10O apiece
and hogs and sheep at good prices, the
farmers cannot afford to raise tobacco
at from 5 to 8 cents per, pound, as 1t
will not compare with cows and other
products, and for that reason they give
tobacco ''black eye" to get rid of the
worries and expenses.

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 27, 1910.
The new tobacco crop of Lancaster
county is practically all cut and under
cover, and the grower can now devote
his energies to helping it cure properly.
1t is big leaved tobacco and will have
to be carefully looked after to prevent
pole burn. The early cut crops are
certainly curing nicely and there ap-
pears to be no reason for doubling that
the crop all through will be a splendid
one when the time comes for market
ing it. While no authentic sales have
been reported, there have been rumors
of such in the North End. The pack
ers, however, are not to be supposed
to be sitting around quietly waiting for
the tobacco to cure Instead, they are
on the move, spotting the best crops
and keeping alert, in order to learn of
any possible sales. The grower is not
exhibiting over anxiety to sell, because
he knows he has an article that will be
wanted right badly at the proper time,
and when thing is wanted very much
its value increases.
Some few sales of the new packing
have been reported recently, and one
sale was made at 16a cents pound.

as it has been for several weeks. New

NEW DIRK, OcC. l, I9IU.
An advance in the price on all types
of cigar leaf is probably the most per-
ceptible feature in the leaf trade. The
advance is not so much as yet on the
marketable stock on hand as in the
growing districts where the new crops
are beginning to pass through their
curing process. In New England there
is going on a scramble of buying as if
there would be already an immediate
and irresistible demand for its con-
sumption. The experience with last
years crop on which packers will have
to write off heavy losses on this years s
inventory, does not seem to serve as a
deterrant example Quite the contrary.
While last year docking was freely ex-
ercised when the crop failed to come up
to expectations and the loss therefore
shifted to the raiser rather than the
packer, a similar escape from respon-
sibility is being rather obstructed this
year by an obligation on the part OF
the packer of putting up a forfeiture
penalty of $100 per acre. And the fig
ures at which the tobacco is being con-
tracted for are pretty stiff. In the
filler districts of Pennsylvania and Ohio
the new crop has also pretty nearly
all been gobbled up by the packers at
an ever increasing advance to the
grower. And the later and better yield
of the Wisconsin has shared the same
distinction. From all of which it is
only too evident that our seed leaf
crops next year will demand in our
market far higher price than this
year. Journal.

The heavy transactions in Wisconsin
tobacco, recorded In another column of
this issue, have naturally excited a
great deal of interest in the trade, and
in fact have been the topic of conver-
sation in Water Street since they were
announced. The most vital feature of
the matter is that considerable por-
ton of the tobacco is taken bodily from
the market, reducing to considerable
extent the quantity Of Wisconsin to-
bacco that is available for general bus
mess. Taken in connection with the
established shortage of the 1910 Wis
consin crop, these sales will undoubted-
ly prove of especial interest to those
whose stocks are in need of replenish-
ing. The situation as regards the 1910
crop has been fully set forth in these
columns, and there is no change in the
situation according to latest advices,
except that the buying movement has
slackened somewhat, owing to the fact
that buying a crop that has had so
checkered a growth as the 1910 Wis
consin is precarious business, much
better deferred until the tobacco has
been cured, when its quality can be
much more accurately judged. Sound

AS this week is ushered in, we can
realize that the harvesting of the to-
bacco crop is finished, and | hope with
no show of frost.
Tobacco that was cut early is now in
many instances ready to be taken down
and stripped, thus giving the farmers
room to house their corn fodder, ard [
regret to say many Of their farm inn
plements for this year the crop was SO
large that more room was required to
house their tobacco crops. / have al
ways noticed that plows, harrows and
all such tools give better work that
were stored and kept dry and bright.
Only today saw one moving machine
standing out under tree, having been
run out when the room was wanted for
tobacco. / think that some of the to-
bacco sheds should be up higher from
the ground so that the sulky plow and
low wheeled wagons could be run under
the lower tier of tobacco. -Cultivator.

EDGERToN, WIS, Oct. 7, 1910.
The harvest is practically over and
the crop under cover. The tobacco is
curing out as fine as could be wished
for and the early housed are showing
signs of good colors, and all along the
line bids fair for the maturing Of a
crop of quality.
Aside from the lower grades, which
are being contracted for from 5 to
cents, the buying has about ceased.
Report comes from Soldiers Grove that
the major part of the valley crops have
been contracted for, and that buyers
in the field there are paying from II to
121a cents for all that can yet be found.
In old goods there seems to be con-
siderable stir and fair amount is
changing hands. The United Cigar
Manufacturers Co. have purchased the
1909 packing of G. F. Mabbett, amount
ing to 1000 cases and sampling of the
same is now being done. The Brill &
Hubbell packing of 1909, amounting to
1900 cases has been sold to julius Mar
qusee and the Holton & Sernson pack
ing at Stoughton of 400 boxes of '09
has been sold to Brill & Hubbell. Geo.
Rumrill of GAINESVILLE has bought 43cs
'07 from Nels Fosdahl and Goes from
Hans Veeum. Edward Simonsen of
Stoughton purchased 34cs of '08 from
Christ Felland. 1t is currently report
ed that Mr.. Simonsen has disposed of
contracts for about $50 acres of 1910 at
good figures.
The shipments out of storage were
481cs since last report. Four cars of
bundle goods have been received.
