The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1911-09-15


But the most unexpected ''holler"
against the high prices paid for Wis
consin tobacco comes from another
source entirely-one you would hardly
believe. M. Wesley Tubbs, secretary
of the state Society of Equity, is out in
public statement in which he says the
prices of the Wisconsin crop have been
boosted to unheard figures, making
impossible the pooling of the crop
which was primarily the object of the
association. Well, well, this is really
tobacco society who are about to lose
their jobs should have the sympathy of
the entire community. And Mr.. Tubbs
sees another calamity, too, for be says
the growers face the prospect of al
most unlimited dockage that may range
from 80 to go per cent. Mr.. Tubbs de-
clared the trust" has made it i'm
practicable for the growers own or
ganization to put up their crop, as it
can not hope to compete with the prices
offered in the field; and by eliminating
the growers association the ''trust"
will have practically everything in it's
own hands without serious competi-
ton. The growers look for, a heavy
dockage and lower prices at delivery
time. They declare there is no possi-
bility of putting up tobacco, with the
many items of expense incident there
to, and emerging with fair profit.

| Suppose the farmer who sold his crop
| two or three weeks ago in the field
| now finds that the grosshoppers have
nearly ruined it for binder before it
reaches the harvest. Who stands the
| loss? This seems to be the problem
that quite good many growers are
facing today. If your contract calls
for the delivery of sound tobacco, you
can guess who will have to stand the
shot, and it won't be the buyer either
We learn of a few instances where
contracts have been cancelled and ad-
vances returned already. The condi-
tion simply illustrates what a risky,
unbusinesslike proposition this field
buying of tobacco really is. The grow
| ers who protested and baked against
the sale of their crop until it was har-
vested had the levelest heads after all.
| Nothing but the very outside figures
offered would tempt them to violate
their better judgment.
