EDGERToN, Wis, Jan. 28, 1910.
With nearly all of the large operators
now out of the buying. field, the move
ment of last seasons crop is dragging
some. Small dealers are taking over a
limited amount of the better grades re-
naming in growers hands at prices
disclosed in the following sales:

The monotony of small trading in old
leaf has been relieved somewhat by the
sale of 70Ocs of the 1906 packing of
Fifield & McGifin at Janesville, as well
as 1OOcs of the 'O7 packing of McGiffin
& Birkenmeyer to the American Cigar
Co. A few out of town buyers have
been in the market during the week
and several minor purchases have also
been made.
The deliveries at the packing points
are becoming more plentiful as grow
ers complete their stripping, but there
are more or less deductions for dam
aged leaf when settlements are made,
making the receiving of the crop any,
thing but pleasant job.
Warehouse handling is going ahead
with well organized forces and the
packing season we'll under way at most
centers. Mcintosh Bros. open another
warehouse at Stoughton Monday. A.
Cohn & Co. started operations there on
Wednesday.
Shipments out of storage are again
renewed, 1892 cases and cars of bum
dies having gone forward from this
market during the week to all points.

MIAMIsBURG. O., Jan. 10, 1909.

Buying has started W; Eh a vim since
the first of the year. Much tobacco
has been bought within the last week,
and buyers are out strong for the Zinl-
mer Spanish. The Seed and Dutch
have about all been picked up. The
weather for the most part has remain
ed dry and much tobacco is still hang
ing on the poles. he 1906 Zimmers

fact it is going OUT atout as fast as it
can be sampled. 1t 5 expected that

VIRoQUA, WIS, Jan. 19, 1910

Case weather was the order of the
day on Monday last. Tobacco growers
moved fast and it is estimated that
about rs per cent of the hanging crop
has been removed from it's mooring and
placed into bundle. This means that
within few days heavy deliveries of
the weed will be made at all local ware
houses and that the work of asserting
and packing will soon commence and
continue unabated until the season. S
crop has been cared for. The Bekke-
dal has been in operation two weeks
and it is probable that the Eckhart and
Pretzfeld houses will commence work
next Monday. Mr.. Solverson will re-
ceive tobacco at his new warehouse
here for the F. Borden firm, but expect
to have their holdings put up at anoth-
er point Censor.

NEW YORK. Jan. 10, 1901.

Wisconsin has again led in the sell

attractive offering in all the domestic
types that are now on the market.
Other types have figured to some ex-
tent in the sales of the week, but to a
minor degree. Manufacturers have
been in evidence in the market and IN
ouiry from that source has been brisk,
which is taken by the leaf dealers as a
forerunner of more extensive business
for the near future. Orders from the
Middle West account for good proper
tion of this weeks business.
Sumatra. The week started of with
a number of sales in Sumatra tobacco
and, all told, a considerable quantity
has gone to the manufacturers who

The American Tobacco Co. received
their first tobacco of the 1869 crop last
Saturday, loading one car. The crop
seems to be disappointment, as there
is considerable shed burn and pole rot
found in the early shielded tobacco and
fat stem and frosted in the late tobac-
CO. Many of the crops were docked
more than 20 per cent. The early to-
bacco went into the sheds in excellent
condition, but unfavorable weather
prevented curing properly. The short
season of cease" weather again Mon
day gave the growers an opportunity to
finish taking down their tobacco. =

quiet both here and in Havana in the
past week or so. A few scattered sales
are reported here, and one good-sized
transaction in Havana Leaf.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


AS the delivery of the new crop pro-
ceeds it is becoming more certain that
the crop contains greater percentage
Of damaged leaf than packers antici-
pated and as consequence liberal de-
ductions are demanded before the to-
bacco is received and paid for. Shed
burn heads the list as the most COM
mon imperfection, while pole rot, heavy
stems and green, immature leaf make
up the other deficiencies which the
packers balk at in the settlements.
Any reasonable farmer can hardly ex
pect to be paid for any of the above
described damaged class of tobacco,
but the trouble comes in when an
agreement is attempted for the per-
centage of allowances and here is an
opportunity for plenty of friction and
it is not at all unlikely that some liti-
cation will grow out of receiving of the
crop. Some of the packers have adopt
ed the plan of visiting the farms, look
ing over the crop and agreeing upon
some basis of compromise, if possible,
before the tobacco is ordered in at the
receiving points. In case an agree
ment cannot be made the contract is
surrendered and the advance repaid.
And such an arrangement seems to be
the most satisfactory way to secure ad-
justments for it promotes better feel
ing with all the parties interested. If
the farmer is freed from his contract
he is then at liberty to make the best
sale possible should he feel the dealer
wants too large concession under the
first agreement.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1910-01-28

Docking" however, any way you
look at it is bad business. Nothing oc-
ours in the tobacco trade that engen-
ders so much hard feeling and leads to
the impression of unfair dealing as
when trouble of this character occurs.
In a great measure, too, such a condi-
tissa& seems entirely unnecessary and
could be avoided If it were not for this
inordinate desire to purchase tobacco IN
the fields before it is mature. If the
growers had been permitted to grow,
harvest and cure the present crop be-
fore the buying started, all this trouble
would have been eliminated, for the
buyer could have seen with his own
eyes the condition of the cured leaf and
could have made his contracts with a
full understanding of the character of
the tobacco. basing his price accord
ingly. We sincerely hope for the good
of everybody connected with the to-
bacco business that this buying of fu-
lures will cease, for it amounts to little
more than that when field buying is
DONE The gamble also promotes the
cutting of immature tobacco, which
was another one of the big mistakes of
the year. Good judges estimate that
fully one-quarter of the '09 crop was
harvested in too green state, much or
which would not have occurred had not
contracts for it's sale already been en-
tered into. 49,

A package of Wisconsin grown Con-
necticut- Havana tobacco seed will be
furnished to tobacco growers of the
state for trial planting by the horti-
cultural department of the Agricultur
al Experiment station of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. This seed has been
selected from the improved tobacco
grown at the experiment station for
several years, and represents the very
best product resulting from systematic
Improvement. Growers receiving this
seed will be expected to report results
obtained from their crops next fall. At
the end of this year the general free
distribution of tobacco will be discon-
tinued until new and improved strains
or varieties have been established. To
bacco growers who desire this seed
should make application early to the.
