The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1910-05-27

After long period of reports which
were calculated to try mems souls,
there are glimmerings today of better
signs all around for the manufacturers
of cigars and tobacco throughout the
country, and several straws have been
cast out to the winds, which would
show that at least portion of the
prosperity about which our leading
statesmen are so busy discussing, is
drifting toward our industry. The Of
fetal revenue statistics from the First
Ohio district also disclose that the man.
ufacturers out there are making more
goods today, by a slight margin, than
they were twelve months ago. When
it is considered that cigar manufactur-
ers have been very wary about making
up goods for stock, it can be judged
that their business is at least improv-
ing to a degree. The reports from
Cuba are also of an encouraging ma
ture, and while the fine little island is
not yet getting all the business she
wants, still the makers of clear Ha-
vana cigars feel that the tide has turn
ed and the dawn of more prosperous
day is beginning to break.

The recent rains and dampness have
once more put the few tobacco crops
that remained on the poles into tease
and no doubt every crop in this section
has now been takeh from the poles. A
number of the warehouses that had
closed for the season will now probably
reopen short time in order to size the
few remaining crops that could not be
delivered on this account. The benefits
derived from the recent rains cannot
be over estimated. Independent.

A visit to the government experiment
farm near Nacogdoches, Texas, is very
interesting. The farm consists of about
five acres and the land is leased by the
federal government for experimental
purposes. and in this work the state
assists financially. The experiment was
started in 1908 Under the direction of
Otto Olson. of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Mr.. Olson
has continued conducting experiments
in Texas since that time and it is large
ly, if not altogether, the result of this
work that Nacogdoches county has de-
veloped as tobacco producing terri
tory At present there are about 200
acres of land in this county under to-
bacco cultivation, and the demand
greatly exceeds the supply. There IS
an immediate market for all the tobac-
co that can be produced, and those who
have raised it in Texas say that the
profits are large.
The assessors are now travelling about
the state listing property for next
years taxes. The law makes it part
of their duty to gather agricultural
statistics of crop yields, acreage, etc.,
with the assumption that their figures
will be as accurate as possible. To be
of any value such figures should be rea-
sonably accurate The assessors fol-
low SO closely after the census men,
covering much the same grounds, there
will be check this year, one against
the other, to see which best performs
their duties. The assessors, therefore,
should be especially careful in getting
statistics.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


One result of the recent visit to this
state of Mr.. A. L. Sylvester, in charge
OF the leaf department of the Ameri-
can Cigar Co., is said to be an impor-
tant change in the management of the
business of the trust in Wisconsin.
Heretofore the business of the differ
ent branches has been directed from
the central office at Madison by state
manager, which office has been abol-
ished. In the future, however, each
branch will be conducted as an inde-
pendent business and the man in charge
will have full authority to employ his
own buyers and other assistants, buy in
any territory he chooses, using his own
judgment in all matters connected with
the business. This new arrangement
will make each local manager account
able to the New York Office only and
gives him an opportunity to show his
ability to obtain results. 1t puts each
manager upon competitive basis and
the man who holds q job long with the
firm must demonstrate his true worth,
not only in business way but in his
knowledge of the tobacco trade. An
other view of the change is that the
big trust is preparing to get away from
any legal entanglements that might
arise from decision that may result
tunfavorably by the United States SUI
.preme court declaring their former
methods in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.

One of the Oldest tobacco growers in
the Connecticut valley is j. Signor. He
is well posted on the cigar leaf tobacco
operations and has grown tobacco on
one piece of ground year after year for
62 years. Of course, he has fed this
ground in order to produce good crops,
but he uses mostly stable manure, with
once in while some castor pumace,
which, he says, tends to make the to-
bacco dark, but of good quality. Years
ago he used to grow June peas for
market on the land and follow the crop
with tobacco. He has the distinction
of being the first man in the valley to
get 80 cents per pound for tobacco, His
first crop, raised So years ago, brought
o. and &c, and the prevailing price that
year was not above &c per pound. The
highest prices realized by Mr.. Signor
were in '68 and '69, when he received
75c and 30c. Although Mr.. Signor
grows only four acres of tobacco, he
produces some of the best in the val
ley and makes a good profit from it.
He still adheres to the old-fashioned
way of growing small plants by sowing
the seed out of doors and protecting
them only by brush and poles. He says
he would probably use beds covered by
glass or cloth were he raising more
than four acres, but he can produce
plants early enough in the season the
old way. IN. E. Homestead.
