WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EpGERToN, WIS, Nav y. 1911.

EDGERToN, WIS, May u, 1911.
There is but little news to be CLEANED
from the local tobacco markets these
days. A few warehouses have some
work yet to complete the seasons pack
ing, but the business is gradually COM
ing to an end. T. B. Earle starts stem
ming operations at Readstown next
Monday and week later at the Edger-
ton warehouse and continue through
the summer months.
Trading in old leaf is confined to
minor transactions. The American Ci-
gar Co. have been buying the short
ends of several local packings of the
'06 remaining in the state, and James
vile packers report the sale of d few
round lots, but business is largely of a
hand-to- mouth order from manufacture
ers.
Summer temperature has come dur
ing the week, giving vegetation boost
and pushing plant beds along at an
amazing pace. Everything bids fair at
this date for an early transplanting
season.
The shipments out of storage reach
200 cases from this market to all points
for the week.

LANCASTER, IA, May L, 1911.
Both leaf men and manufacturers are
agreed upon the fact that business is
excessively quiet, condition for which
no one seems to be able to give con-
vincing reason in view of the prosperity
the agricultural classes. The dullness,
coming as it does upon the heels of a
satisfactory degree of activity, in both
the 1909 and 1910 crops, is less welcome
on that account.
The tobacco of the 1909 crop that has
passed into the hands of the mgnufact-
urers has given a good account of it
self. The crop got black eye from
the fact that it was grown largely under
unreasonable conditions and from the
attitude taken by the packers during
it's growth. Prominent manufacturing
houses who have used it declare that it
furnishes very satisfactory filler, and
this view is being SO universally taken
that packers will not dispose of their
holdings except at profit, regardless
of the fact that the big 1910 crop is due
to come on the market in few months.
Owing to the fact that the 1909 has
been held so long by the packers, it is
impossible for them to make their usual
profit, but they hope to recoup to some
extent with the 1910 tobacco which was
raised under normal conditions, and
which contains large quantity that is
suitable for binder. There are no
standard prices on the 1910, each pack
er making his own bargain, and very
frequently the determining factors are
how badly the packer needs money or
how badly the manufacturer needs the
tobacco. Local packers believe, how
ever, that sharp advance in the price
of new goods is due as soon as there is
an improvement in the manufacturing
business, and consequently they are not
anxious to sell at present.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The warm growing weather the past
week has been just the thing to give
the plant beds a decided sendoff, as it
has all other vegetation. The young
plants are making remarkable progress
quite a marked contrast with some
other seasons when cold, rainy weather
has retarted the early starting of the
tiny plants. So far the conditions could
hardly be improved on and the pros
poets for the coming tobacco crop are
about all that could be wished for at
this date. Growers, however, should
see to it that the beds do not lack for
moisture, and if rains are not frequent
enough should supply the needed moist
ure by sprinkling. A treatment of
liquid fertilizer would also prove help
ful if the plants are not making the de-
sired progress, though the indications
are there will be no lack of plants at
the usual transplanting season in this
state. Another main requisite is to
keep abreast with the work of prepar-
ing the fields for the crop.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May =, 1911.
Seasonable weather has apparently
arrived, though somewhat behindhand.
The young tobacco plants are coming
along finely, the warmer weather great
ly stimulating growth. Farmers are
now speculating as to when the plants
will be large enough to set out. A few
growers may begin transplanting the
last of next week, but the process will
not be general before the Goth or 25th
of the month. Years ago the grower
who did not have his tobacco plants in
the fields before Memorial day was
looked upon as slothful individual. In
recent years, it is doubtful if half the
crop was transplanted by May 80.

For number of years the tobacco
industry Of this state got but slight
recognition from the state agricultural
department of the university. Finally
it was prevailed upon to conduct a Sc
ries Of experiments in the propagation
Of improved seed, which resulted in
producing very fine strain Of tobacco
seed that for three or four years after
wards was distributed free to the to-
bacco growers of the state. Some
work is yet being conducted along this
line, but the experiments have been of
much value to the industry in this
state, not only in seed propagation but
in the matter OF fertilizers and in cur
ing the crop. Lately 8 bulletin has
been issued concerning the whole field
Of tobacco culture which is likely to be
in great demand which later we hope to
publish in full.

We beg to announce to the
public that the First National
, Bank to meet the growing de-
mands of business, has remov.
ed from its old building to its
new granite front bank build
ing in the next block west.
The Capital Stock has been
, increased to s5O,OOO.OO, all of
which stock is held locally by
fifty of our most influential
business men and farmers. A
complete list of the stockhold-
ers will be published at some
future date.
Our Officers take this occa-
sion to thank you heartily for
the part you have had in the
expansion of the business and
the broadening of the inilu-
ence of this institution.
This bank wants your busi-
ness, promising in return,
liberal treatment and courte-
GUS consideration.

The season in the warehouses is prac-
tically over. Here and there ware
house is finishing up large crop or one
on which late start was made. Even
the warehouse help has caught the
spring fever, and from now on procur-
ing hands for indoor work will not be
easy.

***
Tobacco growing in Wisconsin began
about fifty years ago and the area de-
sgsed to this crop has increased stead
lily antil about 10000 acres were devot-
ed to the crop in 1909, according to bull
letin 206 on tobacco culture in Wiscon-
sin, by James Johnson of the horticul-
tural department, just issued by the
agricultural experiment station Of the
University of Wisconsin. Production
centers in Dane county, with Vernon
and Rock counties following in impor-
tance. Fifteen counties now grow the
crop to considerable extent, while it
has been tried in fully 35 counties in
this state. An average crop at the
present time amounts to about SO, 000, :
900 pounds, worth from $1,000, 900 to
Sc, 600, 900 annually, placing tobacco
sixth among the important crops of
Wisconsin. The growing of tobacco is
not as exhausting to soils as is gener-
ally supposed since crop of 1900 pounds
of leaves per acre removes less fertil-
ity in value than 60 bushel crop of
corn, Is tons of cabbage or 15 bushel
yield of peas. Under proper rotation
tobacco culture is not injurious to soils.
Potash is the fertilizing element most
needed and with liberal use of stable
manures fertility may be maintained to
a great extent. A good crop rotation
provides for growing tobacco three years
in succession followed by corn, barley
and clover each one year. Oats may be
substituted for barley on poorer soils.
Grains and legumes such as rye and
hairy vetch are used to advantage. In
the tobacco plantbed good seed that
terminates so to 80 per cent and which
has been well cleaned should be used.
The soil for the plantbed should be of
good texture and fertility, free from
weeds and fungus diseases or injurious
insects. A well protected site, shell
tered from north and west winds will
be free from danger of light spring
frostS.
The National Cigar Leaf Tobacco as
sociation held it's annual convention at
Lancaster, Pa, May 7th and 8th. The
program arranged called for the calling
to order at 10 o'clock Monday morning.
The first business session lasted until
about 80 d. m After dinner the
guests gathered at the P. r. f. station
where special train was waiting to
convey the party on a trip along the
Susquehanna river, the objective point
being the great power dam at McCalls
Ferry. Here guides were IN readiness
to show the visitors the wonderful en-
gineering feat which mas attracted the
attention of the entire world. Supper
was served at the hotel at Pequa and
the special returned to Lancaster about
$50 %. m. There was another business
session on Tuesday morning with an
other pleasure jaunt in the afternoon.
In the evening the annual banquet was
served at Hotel Rossmere, when covers
were laid for more than two hundred.
A resolution was adopted by close
vote of % to "a that there should be a
decided decrease in the existing duty
on wrapper tobacco, after an animated
discussion. The convention meets IN
New York next year. A. b. Hess OF
Lancaster was elected president.

HITCHCOCK ADDS
TO SERVICE PAY
All Branches of Post-office
Department to Get Raise.

Since his authorization on July 1 of an
expenditure of $4,OOO,OOO to increase the
compensation of rural carriers, the larg-
est salary increase in the history Of the
postal service, Postmaster General Hitch
cock has issued orders for the payment
of about s1.2OO.OO0 for the promotion of
post-office clerks during the current fis-
cal year and of about $500, 900 for the pro-
motion Of city letter carriers.
He also arranged for promotions in
the Railway Mail Service during the year
that will aggregate about $751; Thus
the four great groups of postal employees,
city post-office clerks, railway mail
clerks, city letter carriers, and rural let
ter carriers will receive during the fiscal
year beginning July 1 advances in pay
aggregating more than 500 900. which is
unprecedented.
Mr.. Hitchcock favors liberal compen-
sation for employees of the postal serv-
ice, believing that the larger expendi-
lures thus made are invariably offset by
increased efficiency. Now that the de-
partment is showing for the first time
in many years a surplus of receipts over
