WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS. Aug. A, 1911.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Aug. A, 1911.
Truth compels us to admit that a
rather disheartening prospect faces a
large proportion of the tobacco grow
ers of the state at the present writing.
For the crop has steadily been going
backward fer the past three weeks,
while the hot wave the past week put
still another crimp in it. The light
rains that have fallen have helped to
keep the fields alive but much too scant
to promote anything like normal
growth or development of the plant.
Nothing but immediate heavy rainfalls
will save any portion of the crop, and
at best large proportion of short leaf
seems inevitable.
Buyers are riding the growing dis
tricts pretty thoroughly these days and
if conditions were more favorable the
ball could easily be started rolling.
Some inquiry has developed for bind
er goods of all yeats growth, but
transactions are generally limited to a
small order business. Bert Page sold
II, 900 pounds 10 crop to Geo. Rumrill.
Chris Hellie sold 28cs of '08 to A. S.
Flagg.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 250 cases from this market to
all points since last report.

NEW YORK, July 20, ]

NEW OIS1A, culy ZC, ACAA'
Good news for the leaf market is
presented in this issue of the United
States Tobacco Journal by the reports
of renewed and expanded activity in
the first and ninth Pennsylvania dis
tricts. These reports are safe fore
cast of brisk fall trade. Although the
leaf market is at present still lethargic
the prospects are that as soon as the
new crops are sampled trading will
start in with rush. That cigar leaf
is needed is proven by the activity in
Sumatra. In spite of the high prices
the new Sumatra sells at figures from
S2.25 to So. so in bond, proof sufficient
that factories are sadly in need of the
proper wrapper leaf. For those who
neither care nor need such high priced
wrapper leaf the Florida is at hand as
a welcome relief. The more so as the
price of that type is hello within rea-
sonable bounds. In the seed and Ha-
vana lines very little seems to be doing
simply because old stocks are nearly
exhausted journal.

LANCASTER, Pa, July Is, 1911.
The feature of the past week in the
local tobacco market was the advance
in prices asked for the 1909 tobacco.
The long hot spell of weather earlier in
the summer had the effect of i'm
proving its quality to marked de-
gree. because of the additional and nat
ural sweating it received. If the leaves
are not as long as could be desired, it
possesses other qualities that commend
it to the manufacturers, and it is the
only old goods to be had about here.
Some sales -jobbing sales-have been
made recently at as high as seventeen
and half cents. Some dealers want
nineteen to 20 cents. Some of the pack
ers who have already disposed of their
1910 goods are holding on to their 1909

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Rains have fallen in the southern sec
tions of the state during the week, af
fording some relief from a five weeks
continuous dronth, but timely and fre-
quent showers will yet be necessary to
perfect the crop. The dry belt has ef-
fected the very heart of the tobacco
growing sections of the state where the
large acreage lies, so under the best
conditions from this time on full crop
can hardly be expected. The early
fields have not attained size of leaf
so necessary for binder stock and quite
a portion of the stock must apparently
grade as CPS" or filler leaf. If suf-
fcient moisture can be relied on now,
the later tobacco has chance to meet
the expectations of the grower, but
general rains of long duration are nee
essary to put the soil in condition to
bring about this result. Tobacco, of
all crops, is known to make most
phenomena recovery from unfavorable
climatic conditions, so it is hard to pre-
dict at this time the results at the end
of the season. If the crop come for
ward as rapidly as it deteriorated the
past two weeks there is yet hope of
fair harvest.

Reports of serious plaques of grass
hoppers (locusts) have been received
by the economic entomology department
Of the College of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin from various
sections of the state. The department
announces that various arsenical poison
mixtures and mechanical means can be
advantageously used in controlling the
pest in its younger stages but when the
insect is mature and able to fly such
remedies are of little avail. The "Crid-
die Mixture seems to be the most sue
cessful when properly employed. Add
l pound Of paris green and pound of
salt to so pounds Of fresh horse manure
and mix thoroughly. Scatter this bait
along the margins of fields or wher-
evel the young grasshopper nymphs
appear. Repeat this application for
new or incoming broods. Locusts lay
their eggs in pockets just beneath the
surface Of the ground, so that the prac-
tice of thoroughly discing and harrow
ing the surface of the fields will de-
stroy large percentage of the eggs.
Flowing fields and turning under the
eggs to depth of six or eight inches
will bury them so deeply that the
Matching larvae cannot reach the sur
face. "Hopper-dozers consisting of
shallow sheet iron pans with high
back and sides, containing oil or kero-
sene in water or tar are successfully
used as controls in some regions. These
pans, IL to Is feet wide and two to

or horses, either singly or in sets,
across infested fields and millions Of
Young hoppers are gathered and de-
stroyed. Various species of blister
beetles feed on the pockets of eggs and
aid largely in controlling these pests.
In reply to a letter addressed to the
u. S. Department of Agriculture by
w. T. Pomeroy, relating to the grass
hopper pest, the following is sent from
the Bureau of Entomology:
'In Colorado we are having good re-
suits from the use of poisonous bats
against grasshoppers. The formula is
as follows: White arsenic or paris
green, A pounds; molasses, 3 gallons;
bran, 100 pounds. The poison, molas-
ses and bran should be very thoroughly
mixed with enough water to make the
bait about the consistency Of chicken
feed (bran NASH. The bait should be
scattered during the evening or late
afternoon in places where the hoppers
will feed on it and die within week.
1t will usually be necessary to repeat
the application in about week. Care
should be exercised not to scatter the
bait where chickens or stock might
pick it up

Initiative action has been taken on
the re-adjustment of the business OF
the American Tobacco Co. in line with
the decision of the supreme court.
Committees of bankers and others
whose names stand high in the tinan-
interest or business connection with the
American Tobacco Co., have been chos-
en- to supervise plans for the re-distrl-
button of the company's assets and
securities SO as to protect the holders
of bonds and stock and to assure an
amiable and equitable adjustment of
the large financial problem involved.
Holders of the six per cent and four
per cent bonds and of the preferred
stock have co-operated with the man
agement of the company to secure COM
mittees whose membership, it is be-
lieved, will assure confidence in the
carrying out of the redistribution.
None of these gentlemen were defend
ants in the suit brought by the govern
ment against the American Tobacco
Co., nor have they any direct financial
interest in the re-adjustment. They
are mostly bankers whose main inter-
est is to secure liberal and rapid COM
pIiance with the decree of the court
and fair re-allocation of the securi-
ties so that no holder of bonds or
stocks may be jeopardized.

Maxine the Xmas Bed.

Among the duties of the yeomen of
the guard in the olden times was the
singular one of making the kings bed
every night and searching it for any
dangerous weapon that might be con-
cealed therein to the detriment of his
majestys sacred person. First one of
these stalwart soldiers had Ito tum-
BILE up and down" the mattress. Then
1.-The esquire for the body" took tn"
sheets and rolled them on his arm or
stripped" them through his hands,
Whenever the yeomen touched the bed
clothes they had to make the sign of
the cross and kiss the place. which
must have rather prolonged the cere-
mony. Finally. when the bed had
been made. with much quaint but in
terminabe ritual" the said esquire
sprinkled it with holy water. and then

as being a crudely executed photo
mechanical production printed on one
piece of paper bearing ink lines to
initiate the silken fibre in the genu-
inc. 1t is said to closely resemble
stage money.
The other counterfeit is a So note
drawn on the Citizens National Bank
of Friendship, N. Y. This is an un
colored photograph on one piece OF
paper without silken threads or imita
ton of them. 1t bears the treasury
number 907,93S, charter number 1853.

You know just how it is yousself-
when you are tired out, perhaps
little rundown, and hardly able to
drag around, life is burden, you are
irritable, nervous, depressed and every
little task seems like a mountain.
Miss Katherine Burns, of Newton,
Mass, says-"About six months ago
was in a rundown condition and my
blood was very poor. had taken sew
eral medicines prescribed by physi-
clans, but they seemed to do me no
good. Finally Vinol was recommend
ed, and from the first bottle | noticed
a great improvement. | have taken
six bottles and | feel as well as ever
and l would recommend Vinol to any
body needing a good tonic to build
them up and make them strong" eve

ine.)
We want to ask every woman who
finds herself in this condition to try
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iror
tonic, without oil, with the understand
ing that their money will be returned
if it does not help them.
We know Vinol will create an appe
tite, and digestion, make pure, ricl
blood and in this way build up an
strengthen the rundown, overworlet
nervous system. You take no chances

with the question of introducing two

now given normal school graduates
by the college of education at the
