THE problem of dropping
bombs accurately from aero
- planes in motion has been
solved at last. The value OF the
airship in war was greatly limited
by the fact that it was quite impos-
sible to drop explosives from
great height with any certainty
that they would hit the target
aimed at.
The speed OF the aeroplane, it's
altitude, the acceleration of the
missile due to gravity, the wind

were all important factors to be
considered and the need of some

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The tobacco growing sections of the
Connecticut Valley are having more
than their share of misfortunes this
year. On top of most disastrous hail
storm that is estimated did half
million dollars of damage to the grow
ing crop recently, another affiiction, an
early frost on the morning of the 18th
caught from 1,500 to 1900 acres un-
harvested, which is said to be ruined
for wrapper or binder purposes. The
dispatches state that the temperature
fell to the lowest point of record for
mid-September and it is believed to be
the worst setback of the kind the
growers have encountered in years.
All this happens, too, in year when
the market needs a full crop Of binder
leaf and cannot help but enhance the
value of the sound portions Of the pres
ent crop wherever grown. The loss
will be more seriously felt among the
consumers of domestic wrapping stock,
because no other state supplies it, but
in binders, were it not for the ravages
OF the grasshoppers, Wisconsin could
go long ways toward meeting any
shortage that might occur in the mark
ct needs.

VIRooUA. WIS. Sept. 12. 1911.

For about 80 minutes on Monday af-
ternoon, the western section of Wis
consin experienced one of the heaviest
hail downpours that it has known. Our
advices are that it started near Trem-
pealeau, on the Mississippi, coming by
Lacrosse and south as far as the state
line. Fifteen miles wide was about the
extent. Viroqua appears to have been
ice flood. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that hail stones measured three and
four inches in diameter, falling in a
great variety of shapes. In some sec
tions roofs were damaged, windows
broken and other forms of damage
done to buildings. But the heavy loss
is put upon tobacco growers. Through
this section one-fifth to one-fourth of
the acreage was still in the fields. Oc-
casionally patch that seemed in the
path of the storm entirely escaped,
while others are partially injured, the
worst class being literally driven into
the ground. Last week was not favor
able to tobacco gathering; but for that
condition very little weed would have
remained unshedded. Growers feel the
loss because in most cases their hold
ings were contracted at ptionally
remunerative prices. There are few
fields, we believe, that will not pay for
cutting and shedding. Many farmers
had finished their harvest, while others
with late tobacco had just begun. The
losses run from one load to eleven
acres. Nels Appleton of Brush Hollow
lost eleven out of sixteen acres, Mathi-
as Hanson, west of town, five acres,
the Tobiases eight acres, Sylvester Sol
verson acres, Cox and Conklin, rent
ers on John E. Nuzum's place, four
acres, the Lewisons three to five acres,
and so it goes, a sorry financial tale.
Buyers who have contracted for crops
are going over the territory making
arrangements with farmers on equit-
able basis for the damaged tobacco.
Many are hustling to buy unsold dam
aged good, prices ranging from four to
seven cents.
A conservative estimate, on tobacco
alone, the loss is $75,0 900. The storm
appears not to have penetrated serious
ly the Kickapoo valley and not much
west of the Bad AK river. ( Censor.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Sept. p, 1911.

EDGERToN, WIS, Sept. %, 1911.
The buyers of the large operators
who have been most active for the
past few weeks are being gradually
withdrawn from the field and the bulk
of the transactions now being made are
by local dealers or the consumers of
low grade, taking over the hailed and
grasshopper end of the crop at from 5
to cents. Some crops are being lifted
at from Z to cents and an occasional
crop at II cents or better. 1t looks
something like a dragging market from
this time on.
The harvest ought to be we'll nigh
completed by the close of the present
week and out of the reach of frost.
The early shielded tobacco is reported
to be curing down nicely, with good
colors and generally free from shed
damage.
The most important transaction in
old leaf for some time has been con-
summated this week in the sale of the
Eckhart packing of 1910 at Viroqua,
amounting to 692 cases, for the account
Of Otto Eisenlohr & Bro, Philadelphia
manufacturers. Something is also do
ing in small way to meet increased
calls of the manufacturing trade. The
sampling Of last seasons packings has
commenced quite generally and very
little if any damage is reported.
The shipments out of storage reach
500 cases from this market to all points
since last report.
