He said that the greatest sermon that had ev- e. been preached was that of a pure noble life of a Christian who is liv- ing it every day in the year.
 During his G.scourse MT. Violet gave three reasons why every follow CT of Christ sAop]a believe in Him and in the Bible. The first one he mentioned was the life of Christ him. self; and the second one was the con- version of Paul and the impression 1 that his life made upon the following generations and the third was the life of sure enough Christian whose , heart was pure in the sight of Goo and man. The evangelist appealed tt his hearers to become Christians after the examples set in the times of the Apost'ss and such that the world al large ce1ld easily tell what kind of { l life the" were leading.

NEW YORK, Aug. b, 1910.
While the market is still waiting for
the western buyers, the advance guard
of whom is reported to be already
scouting in the local leaf markets of
Connecticut, the trade is invited to pay
some attention to the treasury depart
ment's import figures of foreign leaf
for the fiscal year 1909-1910. These
figures show remarkable increase in
the imports of foreign leaf over the
total imported during the previous fis-
cal year of 1908-1909. More detailed,
the foreign wrapper leaf importations
show an increase of 991, 588 pounds; one
of 951, ,265 pounds in the importations
of Sumatra, and wonderful to tell, an
increase also of 10,948 pounds in the
importations Of Cuban wrapper leaf.
These increases would again and more
than ever substantiate the proof that
the excessive duty rate cannot keep
out the foreign wrapper leaf so essen
tial for our cigar industry and the IN
controvertible essentially of the need.
They prove also another thing, that
during the past fiscal year the market
in foreign leaf must have been a very
brisk one. In fact, even during the
long spell of the dog-days the reports
published in this column were all to the
effect that such activity as was notice
able was nearly exclusively centered IN
transactions of Sumatra and Havana
And this activity prevailed also during
this week. 1t was only in domestic
leaf that the dullness Of the hot spell
manifested itself. journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, Aug. II, 1910.

EDGERTON, WIS, Aug. II, 1910.
The middle of August is here and the
long continued drouth of nearly six
weeks duration extends over the great
er portion of the tobacco sections of
the state. If prolonged another week
there can be small hope of harvesting
much of crop in Wisconsin this year.
There has been little topping of the
early fields, but there is but little
chance for the usual spread of the top
leaves under present weather condi-
tions. The other fields are living on
but making very slow progress because
of the lack of sufficient moisture
Rains fell in the northern growing
districts during the week but COW
cred localities where but a little por-
ton of the crop was set.
The old leaf market continues in
about the same dull channels as for
months past. A 81 case lot of '06 was
recently marketed by local packer,
but the trade is almost exclusively
confined to small business.
The sampling of 'O9 packings has
commenced with very satisfactory re-
suits SO far.
The shipments out of storage reach
350cs from this market to all points for
the week past.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1910-08-12
NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 1910.


The activity of the manufacturing in.
terests is being reflected in the leaf
market, and within the past week or SO
business in all lines of domestic tobacco
has been quite fair; and there is an ex-
pectation of improvement from now on.
A few out of town dealers have re-
Gently visited the market, and num-
Der of Western leaf men are expected
within week or SO, with the intention
of supplying themselves with goods.
The report of the packers is that the
new Connecticut samples are fully up
to expectations, and it will be wanted
owing to the scarcity of old goods.
There has been some activity in old
Pennsylvania, the demand exceeding
the supply, at advanced prices. Hail
storms did considerable damage in GER
tain sections of Connecticut, the loss
being conservatively estimated at $780,
900, but in other sections only a badly
needed rain fell. The stand of the new
Pennsylvania is excellent, according to
all accounts, and the same is true of
the growing New York State crop.
The continued drouth in Wisconsin
makes it foregone conclusion that in
the so-called northern section there
will be a falling off in acreage OF con-
siderable proportions, as it is now too
late to replant, but in the southern
section of the state prospects are ex-
cellent, although there is considerable
need of rain.-Leaf.

New England.

At last we have had good smart
shower. | have visited several fields
of tobacco and if we could have water
enough to moisten the soil thoroughly
we shall have a part Of our crop that
would develop quite good crop, and
we also need good lot of rain to de-
velop good curing qualities in what we
have been able to grow, and unless we
do have am afraid that the quality OF
tobacco will not be up to the standard
of quality to bring good prices.
The season reminds me of the season
of 1885, that year we could cut the
plants any time after the dew had
dried off and pass them along to the
wagons and load them right on without
danger of breakage.
Windsor. Ct, July 80: Tobacco in
the fields was damaged to the extent OF
about $50, 900, it is estimated tonight,
by a heavy thunder storm accompanied
by hail which passed over this section
this afternoon. Hail fell at North
ampton. Mass, Saturday afternoon to
quite an extent. but more damage was
done to tobacco by the high wind that
preceded the shower. With tobacco al
ready to harvest it would chill the ar
dor of good many of the growers, as
cutting will be quite general during the
coming week. Down at Poquonock,
Fred Thrall and Clark Brothers have

crops. They are the first in town te

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 2, 1910.
The condition Of the growing crop in
our county continues favorable, though
it would develop faster il the nights
were warmer. In some parts of the
county the plants need rain, some sec
tions having been hardly touched by
the recent precipitations. So far but
little damage has resulted from worms
or other insect pests. The late hail
storm damaged good deal Of tobacco
in the eastern section of the county,
causing quite heavy loss. Consider
able topping has been done, and will be
continued actively thia week. 1t is ex-
pected that some tobacco will be cut
the middle of this monti.
The packers are taking things easy,
as they have nc cid goods to trade
with, and their foremen are all suffi-
cient to look aftsr the goods going
through the sweat All expect trad
ing in the 1909 goods to open up early

them, preferring to wait until fall be-

Material changes in the United States
revenue laws which impose upon man.
ufacturers of smoking and chewing to-
bacco important obligations in the mat
ter of packing their products, has been
responsible for some inconvenience to
consumers for few weeks. 1t now is
reported by dealers, however, that nor
NAL conditions are returning. Accord
ing to retail dealers the changes in the
laws affect principally the sizes and
weights of packages of smoking tobac-
cos, some packages being reduced and
others enlarged. Many retailers, anx-
ious to please their customers and to
gradually accustom them to the
changes, flooded manufacturers with
orders for the old style goods. To sup
ply this extraordinary demand and at
the same time make preparations for
the new style of packing, the resources
of the largest factories were taxed to
the utmost, but while it increased the
output Of the manufacturers it resulted
in making popular brands of tobaccos
scarce with the retailers. In many in
stances there was difficulty in obtain
ing popular brands of cigars and cigar
cts.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

And still another week without the
general rains so much needed to put an
end to the almost unprecedented drouth.
Neither can local showers bring the
necessary relief for they only moisten
the top of the ground and are soon
evaporated. What must come is long
continued rains, soaking the soil to
such depth that the moisture will be
conserved by natural processes. Ex-
cept in few specially favored districts
the tobacco crop has. suffered greatly
by the long continued dry spell and
each day detracts something from the
prospects of the harvest. 1t is quite
generally admitted that the showing is
the poorest our state ever knew at this
date since Wisconsin became large
tobacco growing district. The only re-
deeming feature of the situation we
can call to mind is that with short
crop this year the market will haze an
opportunity to clean up all the surplus
of old leaf remaining in the state that
in recent years has been somewhat of
menace to remunerative prices which
packers ought to receive in the conduct
of business. With the boards swept
clear once more of all the odds and
ends of half dozen years, business
might get back on an old time basis
again.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1910-08-12

In seasons like the present one if ir-
rigation could be carried to the tobacco
fields the grower would be independent
of weather conditions. That irrigation
is possible on many farms is shown by
an account Of system which Mr.. Ed
mund H. Smith of Springfield, Mass,
has established, taken from the New
England Homestead:
Mr.. Smith has $50 acres in Feeding
Hills, Mass, devoted to tobacco. On
100 acres he grows broadleaf and on 80
acres Havana. Altogether very ex-
tensive grower, his natural resources
are not any better, nor as good, than
found on many tobacco farms in the
valley. His sources of water supply
are large artesian well and small
brook. There are many farms upon
which a larger, dependable supply OF
water can easily be found so situated
as to be readily turned on to the fields,
either in primitive manner or by up
to-date irrigation methods. The water
ing system on Edmund III. Smiths farm
is so arranged that Is acres of tobacco
land can be irrigated To supply this
water two large iron tanks, each hold
ing $4,000 gallons, are situated on the
two highest points of land on the farm.
One of these tanks is supplied from a
small brook WEIGH is damned and forms
pool and from this water is pumped
direct to large supply tank several
hundred feet from the brook and con-
siderably above it's level. A five-horse
power gasoline engine is used to run
the pump. The same arrangement is
followed at the second standpipe, or
large reservoir, only the water is ele-
waited from an artesian well. From
each standpipe radiate systems of main
pipe inches in diameter. They are
about % feet below the surface OF the
ground, and in most instances extend
in parallel lines 200 feet apart down the
fields. At distance of some 200 feet
4-inch pipe is connected to the mains
forming a hydrant which stands 8 feet
above the ground. These hydrants are
equipped with six connections to which
1-inch hose is readily attached. The
hose extends to sprinklers. These are
made of a-inch pipe, are about 5 feet
high, and have whlrling device or
top. When full pressure is on, this
throws the water in circle 40 feet II
diameter. The sprinkler and hose be
ing movable make it possible to cover
large block of tobacco land at one
time. The pump is an ordinary suction
pump with a capacity Of 100 gallons
per minute. The supply tank, holding
$4,000 gallons, is very easily filled dur
ing the day and emptied at night. An
other use to which Mr. Smith intend:
to put the system is to wet the drylns
sheds in time of extremely hot, dr..
weather This will greatly assist Il
curing the tobacco, and could also D'
used as fire protection.

employ dynamiters to stir up trouble,
and generally prove that they could
run the town or wreck it,
And the only slogan they ever have
is the pestiferous, lying, double-cross-
ing, hypocritical fake, open shop.
Open shop is a ghost, jest and a
dreams. When "a big employer uses it
he means that he demands the right to
bring in Greek and Greaser labor, to
cut wages to the bone, to violate all
sanitary working laws, to keep women
on the job all night at five cents an
hour, if he sees fit. to hoot at demands
of fair play, to prevent his workers
banding together for square deal, the
while he organizes and plots and con-
tributes to the election Of various city
and county officers to assist him in
carrying out his nefarious practices.
Many business men do not know
these things, but labor does and the
workers Of Oklahoma City do, and it
is entirely possible that despite the
very excellent and lady-like objection
to boycotts on the part of business men
that labor will be just mean, and un-
kind and wayward enough to use this,
and other sharp weapons, against the
men it considers fighting for the tuber-
culosis shop, the ten hour day, the for
eign wage serf, the woman and child
mill and the arrogance of the man on
the top with wad and a pull.
