cent of the entire New England crop is
affected. Tobacco under tents, gener-
ally speaking, escaped serious injury.
Nevertheless, several plantations re-
port losses which, in storm of less
fury, would be considered heavy.
Heavy damage resulted from wind IN
sections where there was no hail. Dam
age to tobacco tents is almost wholly
due to wind. Hundreds of acres of to-
bacco grown in the open which escaped
hail were whipped into shreds by the
gale Warehouse Point, Conn.,, escaped
hail and lightning, but the wind blew a
gale and carried tobacco plants, roots
and all, before it.
The gloom which prevails in the de-
wasted districts is so thick that the
edge of the proverbial knife would be
badly dulled in an attempt to cut it. In
this connection it should be remember
ed that the New England tobacco grow
er is game to the core and is sobered
only by disasters of stupendous proper
tions. Last Fridays storm was such a
disaster, in every sense of the word.
Had fire destroyed the homes of sew
eral hundred growers in a single day
the consequences could not have been
more far-reaching than the ultimate
results of Fridays storm.

Madison Democrat: Pride, like char
ity, begins at home and the farmer
who begins by taking pride in his farm
and in his own affairs soon extends his
interest to his community, for he can
not long fail to see that the interests
of the property owners of the entire
community are so closely interrelated
that the advancement of the one is
largely dependent upon the advance
ment of the other. The farmer who
raises good crops soon will have good
stock and he must then have good
fences and good farms. Next he wants
goods roads to market and he wants
good bridges on his roads; he wants
good stores in his town and he will see
the necessity of patronizing his home
merchants III order to perpetuate the
home town. Likewise he will want
good churches and good schools, for he
can not go far in scientific agriculture
without realizing the value of schools,
and when he acquires property he real

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. %, 1911.
The most violent hail, wind and cleo
trio storm known to the present gen.
GRAFTON swept through the Connecticut
valley, on the west side of the river,
late Friday afternoon, literally hewing
its way through the cream of the 1911
crop, from the Massachusetts line to
Hartford, Conn. The loss will exceed
$500, 900 and may reach $3.50, 1000. The
path of the storm, though compare
lively narrow, was more tina twenty
five miles in length. Fully 1900 acres
of tobacco were ruined so completely
that not single leaf of merchantable
tobacco can be found in this area.
From 700 to 800 acres additional suf-
fered lesser wind and hail damage.
The storm is nothing short of cal

ers who have been rated in comfort

mortgage their farms in order to grow
another tobacco crop. Some extent of
the sweep of the damage may be gain

NEW OIsN, mug 70, IVII.
The leaf market seems to have been
satisfied with its business activity dur
ing the week. Out-of-town buyers are
steadily coming in and though they may
be disappointed at the stock of the
marketable supply and by the ever
growing price increase, they are COM
PEELED to buy something not to leave
empty handed. The conditions of the
market are, therefore, not favorable to
buying in bulk. But the purchases
made in small lots from different grades
and types run up nevertheless to con-
siderable aggregate. Most of the
transactions during the week continued
in selections from the New England
crops, particularly of seconds, and of
some choice wrapper lots. Prices were

Gautier's Superstition.

Theophile Gautier, the critic, novelist
and poet, like many another great
man, was superstitious and believed
in the evil eye. Offenbach was his
aversion, and in this respect a Paris
contemporary tells us that one day the
son and father were walking together
The son, for wickedness' sake, start
ed a conversation about Offenbach, and
his father gave him to understand that
the subject was disagreeable. Moth
ing daunted, the lad led Gautier to a
shop window where was exposed a
photograph of the composer.
As they resumed their walk the son
observed, well, you see, father, after
all, nothing has happened through
looking at the photograph" At that
moment they were turning the corner,
and the son preceded his father In

There has been a good bit of cutting
of the new Lancaster county crop dur

was in fine condition In fact, as the
growth progresses, the farmers and
packers are better pleased with it, and
If the frost period is delayed until
about the middle of September the bulk
of the crop will be safely housed. The
development the past week was very
noticeable and in all sections of the
county the harvesters could be seen at
work. Especially fine crops were

Buying in these types became some
what animated on the report of the big
damage in the Connecticut tobacco
fields. But the first reports as usual
were exaggerated and though consider
able damage was suffered it was hardly
excessive enough to boom Unfortunately
the marketable stock. A more dis
turbing factor for the market is the
continued buying by cigar manufacture
ing concerns of the still standing crop
in the northern part of Wisconsin at a
figure which has checkmated even the
most venturesome operators among the
leaf packing fraternity. For the ques-
ton of binder leaf is more serious

GAYS MILLS, WIS, Aug. %, 1911.
The race for tobacco still continues
and scores of buyers are still hammer
ing away on the growers and results
are being obtained too as contracts
have been secured on quite large per-
centage of the crop. Prices are so high
that growers can not be wondered at
for taking the chance of letting it go.
Several crops have been purchased at
15c. Harvesting of the early crops is
on in full blast and the copious rains
and splendid growing weather of the
past couple of weeks have made splen-
did tobacco of later crops. An all
round banner crop of 1911 is now as
sured for Crawford county if frosts
hold off. If no trouble is experienced
in delivery this year, growers in this
section will surely have fat pocketbooks
as result of the crop. Independent.

grown this year in the eastern and
southern sections of the county. The
south is developing as a tobacco-grow-
ing center and some of the choicest leaf
in the county issnow grown there. The
number of tobacco sheds in that section
has been almost doubled this year. Re-
ports of purchases in the field are again
current, but actual sales have not been
learned. One thing is sure, and that is
that the growers are expecting pretty
good price for their leaf. The rural
packers will no doubt be among the
first to buy. They have succeeded in
disposing of nearly all their holdings of
1910 for which they received a fair
profit and they are ready in consequence
to begin operations on the 1911.
