a permanent place in your field
crops.
These plants seem to have the Pc
culiar property of utilizing the free
nitrogen of the air and thus store
nitrates in the soil, and accumulate
humus, the II thing II soils seem
most to need. How is this done?
Through a most peculiar little
family of lower organisms known as
bacteria. which grow on the root hair
and tiny rOotlets of the root system
of these legume plants. This Gre
ates, as it were, a fever in hat ar
ticular part of the plant, calling for
lore air and more water. In a chem
ical process not easily understood.
the free nitrogen obtained from the
surrounding air is worked into nj
trates available to succeeding plant
life.
Perennial legumes are always deep
feeders, bringing a part of their min
eral food from soil depths below the
feeding ground of ordinary crops.
This value to succeeding crops is
shown in the opening paragraph to
COburn's Alfalfa: There are some
silent subscribers that do their work
with ease and in their way, more eff
fectually than any team or pillow ever
hitched. The clover plant is right
eously famed as one of these, but al
faifa is its superior. Its roots work
Sunday as we'll as Saturday, night
and day; they strike 8, 10, Is or 20
feet deep, making innumerable err
f~oratiOns, while storing up nitrogen,
and when these roots decay they leave
not only a generous supply of fertil-
ity for any desired crop, their mill
lions of openings into which the airs
and rains of heaven find their way.
and help to constitute an unfailing
reservoir of wealth, upon which the
husbandman a draw'with little fear
of protest or overdrafts."
Professor Buffum, some years ago
at the Wyoming experiment station,
made a test showing the gain on al
falfa ground for small grain and po-
tatoes owe the same type of soil
where alfalfa was not grown. His
obtained are here given:

Therefore, get the land into a le-
gume of some kind, alfalfa, vetch or
field pea, as soon as you can that
it may be better prepared for sue
cessful and profitable after crops.
In cas- the farmer is in doubt just
what crop to put in, he will make no
mistake to seed down to alfalfa
while he is planning out the crop ro-
tatiOn hat his environment would
seem to indicate best for him to
adopt.
Rotation Destroys Weeds-The ell
limitation of weeds is effectually ac-
complished by the introduction of
cultivated crops like potatoes, stock
roots, sugar beets, field beans and
truck gardening crops. The irriga-
ton ditch is even a greater carrier of
weeds than the winds. Where an en-
tire irrigation district adopts the
practice of crop rotation and cutting
ditch and canal bank weeds, they can
be, and are, exterminated. Most of
our worst weed pests are annual and
when all users of a given ditch prac-
tice a good crop rotation the weed
question is solved.
Get Station Bulletins Because
weed and insect pests as well as fun
gus diseases are fully discussed in
station bulletins which can be had
by addressing the director of your
state experiment station, l shall pass
up any discussion of them.
Rotation Fundamentals-Let us
now consider the fundamentals which
we should concern ourselves with,
in adopting a rotation for our irrigat-
ed lands, where we cannot afford to
grow many cheap forage or grass
crops, unless upon said farm we can
convert these cheaper crops into more
rempnerative meat, dairy or poultry
products.
]. All plants tend to exhaust the
soil. They abstract some one or more
food elements to the full amount of
availability.
2. All plants do not exhaust the
soil in the same way and name
equally.
3. Plants grown constantly or con-
tinuously on the same field favor the
spread of insect pests and certain
plant diseases.
4. Some plants, by methods of til
lage, are favorable to weed growth,
others are net.
s.. Plants differ in habits of root
growth.
6. All legumes are soil builders
and soil ~renovators.
z. Some form of stock raising.
combined with crop growing, will fur
nish manure for making humus and
building up the soil. The old English
adage mo grass no cattle: no cattle
no manure; no manure, no grass is
true everywhere.
Rotation on Irrigated Lands=Ev-
cry rotation IN the irrigated lands in
this region should contain:
1. At least one money or cash crop.
:. At least one cultivated crop.
3. At least n legume crop.
4. At least one live stock feeding
crop.
5. These should be so grouped as
to most economically distribute farm
throughout the year
6. So arrange the rotation that the
farm can turn cheap and bulky feeds
INTO milk poultry or meat products.
Z. Thus make factory methods on
the farm, turn ordinary waste pro-
into profits.
The meat packer so utilities the
lamb and pig that now there
IS nothing lost but the blat and the

NEW YORK, April l, lSll.
AS was to be expected trading in the
new importations of Sumatra was quite
lively during the week. Despite the
stiff prices, manufacturers seemed to
take readily to the new leaf as it is
many years since such an almost per-
feet type of wrapper leaf has come into
the market. The most exacting requi-
sites as to color, soundness, yield and
texture are apparently combined in the
new leae and act as an irresistible temp
tation for the manufacturer notwith-
standing the high price the new leaf
commands. And With the progress of
the inscriptions there seems to be no
falling off in the higher qualifications
of the lots offered. The special cable
report of the Unit ed States Tobacco
Journal on yesterdays third inscription
of the season gives assurance again of
the extraordinary alue of the Sumatra
purchased for the American market.
It is not surprising, therefore, to learn
that in the three inscriptions so far
Americans have taken about 300 bales
more than at the first three inscriptions
of last year. The Havana market is
also keeping up its activity. AS Cuba
is nearly cleaned out or old stock and
as the new crops are recording par
tial failure in many respects, the trade
is naturally alert to provide itself with
the old stock to be found in the hands
of the importers in this country. Sales
in all grades of Havana leaf are, there
fore, more than active even at advanc-
ing figures. Only in the seed leaf mar
ket lethargy continues, chiefly, how
ever, because of the lack of an abun-
dance of supply.

Packer and Dealer in

York, Pa.
Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, Pa, March %, 1911.
The condition of the Lancaster to-
bacco market, in all of it's branches, is
worse now than it has been at any time
since the slump in the trade occurred.
Prominent packers in discussing the
causes confess it is puzzle to them, as
there is no apparent reason why the
bottom should have dropped out of the
trade as it has. The falling off in the
volume of business has not yet affected
prices of the 1909 goods, which still
range from Ia to 16 cents. The pack
ers are content just now to take mod
crate prices, though it must not be ur-
derstood that they expect such prices
as those named to continue. The belief
among the trade appears to be that
when business takes tarn for the het-
ter, prices will do likewise, mainly be-
cause of the shortage that exists among
all goods but the 1909. Outside pack
ers, notably those of New York and the
West, who have 1903 tobacco stored in
Lancaster, have been withdrawing in
large quantities and shipping it else
where
To ali intents ana purposes, the 1910
crop has been disposed of, the little re-
naming in the growers hands not
counting, and there is so little unbought
that the packers are now laying back
on their oars, the grower who has
crop for sale now hunting the packer.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, April z, 1911.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Aprll {, 1911.
While the buying of last seasons
crop is practically closed, few scat
tering lots are all the time being taken
over by dealers possessed with desire
to make a clean sweep of the state
when they can secure it around former
quotations. The receiving of purchases
is going on as expeditiously as is possi-
bic even with the large holders. The
American Tobacco Co. will about COM
plete their receiving this week, having
weighed up in the country and paid for
over million pounds in excess of their
present storage facilities. Warehouse
work is also progressing as fast as the
limited help situation will permit.
There is little news to chronicle in
the cured leaf market, either in the
state or the eastern centers of trade.
Sales are mainly of small consignments
to meet hand tomouth business. A.
Jenson & Sons received 27cs lot of '06
from John Rue.
The weather conditions of the week
have been unfavorable for farm work
and scarcely anything has been accom-
plished in the way of preparing seed
beds for another crop.
The shipments out of storage reach
500 cases from this market to all points
for the week past. Since last report
10 car loads have been received from
outside points for warehouse handling.

NEW YORK. March %, 1911

In the local market for domestic CT
gar leaf there has been very little ac-
tivity in the past week. Binder stocks
are scarce and high, and while consid-
cradle inquiry exists for this kind of
tobacco, there is not enough available
for general market use to constitute a
business of any proportions. The prin-
cipal interest of the week was in the
reported sale of one of the largest
shade-growing concerns of Connecticut.
Sumatra. Sample bales of the to-
bacco obtained at the first inscription
have been exhibited. They have been
carefully examined by an interested lot
of manufacturers, and their pronounce
ments in the main have been favorable.
1t is light in color, stretchy, and good
yielder, in the opinion of most of those
who have passed upon it. The price
will be higher than last year. An ex-
tensive sample business has been done
by all the importers. Leaf.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1911-04-07

H. S. Frey, the veteran Connecticut
tobacco grower, writes the N. Y. Leaf
as follows regarding the shade-grown
situation and the pitfalls it is in dam
ger Of:
/ am not rash enough to make any
predictions, however, as to the ultimate
success or failure of the apparently re-
juvenated industry under the present
and normal conditions. merely OBJ
serve that if-as its most enthusiastic
advocates now evidently expect-it is
destined to become successful rival
of it's big brother, imported Sumatra,
the most optimistic dreams OF its devo-
tees might be realized. Truly, it seems
so; but will present and normal condl-
tions continue, at least long enough to
demonstrate whether or not the new
candidate for popular favor of the do
mestic cigar manufacturers will succeed
in winning the smiles of that "court of
last resortv' Judging from recent, and
I believe reliable, advices from Wash
ington, / should say decidedly not. That
tariff revision by the next congress is
inevitable. Assuming this is true, it
would appear that the tobacco interests
of this country, especially the rejuven-
ated shade-grown, is rapidly approach
ing a critical era in it's history and may
result in its firm establishment in this
country as a successful rival or OF
satisfactory substitute for its elder i'm
ported Sumatra brother, or by some
vicious tariff tinkering may end IN dis
aster greater than ever before. Briefly,
/ assume it would not be possible to
grow and sell, at a profit, Connecticut
shade-grown under any material reduc-
ton of the wrapper rate Of duty. Sec
ond. / am convinced that in the event
of a revision of the tariff, that wrapper
rate Isl. .85 per pound stands now in a
more precarious position than at any
previous time since the last democratic
landslide of 1892. Third, the Dutch
Sumatra syndicates undoubtedly know
that as well as we do and presumably
will act accordingly, because 1t IS a
matter of almost life and death with
them whether they save or lose the
wrapper monopoly they have held so
long in the American market. Lose
they are liable TO do, are sure to do. II
the new reascendancy OF Connecticut
shade-grown tobacco proves to be
the success its promoters today antlci-
pate, thus supplanting the Imported
leaf, unless by some means they can
bring about any material reduction IN
the wrapper rate of duty here.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, March %, 1911.
'sLess than / per cent of the 1910
crop is unsold. Personally | wouldn' t
know where to look for single crop if
I were buyer" Such was the COM
nent Of one of the best known tobacco
growers and packers in New England.
The fact that the New England crop
has been picked up so thoroughly at
tracts attention to the causes of the
demand. Chief among them is the big
shortage in the Wisconsin crop, and

prisingly large percentage of the 1910
