The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-10-04
New YORK, Sept. 25, 1912.

The market in domestic cigar leaf
has been quiet this week so far as
transactions of Importance are con-
cerned. The local packers all report
good deal of inquiry, but in spite of the
fact that samples Of all the new pack
ings are on display, sales have been
moderate in volume, though including
all the standard types. Reports from
ing districts are very satisfactory, the
crop being reported as highly pleasing
in character and color The harvest in
the older cigar leaf growing states is
nearly over, and the season at which
frost may be expected having arrived,
the farmers will lose no time in getting
the remainder of their crops under
shelter. Unless adverse weather ap-
pears in the next week or so, the 1912
crop will have been harvested under
almost perfect conditions and with less
storm, hail and frost damage than any
other crop within the past ten years.
The sale of about |, 1000 cases of Con-
necticut broadleaf binders was reported
last week.
Sumatra. Americans bought spar
ingly at Fridays sale in Amsterdam,
taking about 1853 bales in all, of which
H. Days & Co. bought 270 and S. Ros-
sin & Sons SO. Prices were about the
same as last weeks.
Havana. The new Havana has met
with very favorable reception in this
country, and business has been good.
It's appearance dampened the enthusi-
asm Of the manufacturers at first, but
its other qualities, such as burn and
aroma, have done much to reinstate it
in or.-Leaf.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Oct. 4, 1912.

GbOER4O4Ns w 1872 wv. 4; 4V1N-.
The first frosts to leave soaring
effect came during the week and as
was expected caught small percent
age of the belated tobacco fields that
might have been secured had not the
previous rainy week delayed the har-
vest. Growers strained every effort to
house the later fields, and had the
frost been delayed few days longer
all would have been under cover. The
main concern now will be the curing of
the late tobacco, for which consider
able warm weather is necessary to pre-
vent fat stems.
Aside from some buying in the hail
cut districts and an occasional sale of
better grades at somewhat under pre-
vious prices the market for new tobac-
co seems nearly suspended. There is
but little riding in the growing dis
tricts and not much effort to increase
the holdings of the large operators.
The usual amount of small business
among packers in old leaf has taken
place but no large transactions have
come to notice of late O. H. Dahl
sold 58cs IL crop and Andrew Monson
47cs IL to A. S. Flagg. The weather
of the week has been favorable to shed
curing though plenty of warm days are
needed for the late harvested. Sam
pling of last years packings is pro-
ceeding moderately and generally the
tobacco is found to be in excellent con-
dition.
The shipments out of storage reach
300 cases from this market to all points
since last report.

Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. "a, 1912.
By the time this letter reaches its
readers fully rs per cent of the tobacco
crop of Lancaster county will have been
cut and housed, ana the rest will not be
far behind in being put under cover.
In the past few weeks the weather has
been all that could have been desired,
and the crop has progressed toward
maturity at a wonderful pace. And
yet lot of tobacco will be harvested
not as ripe as it should be- Hail storms
have been frequent this season, and
another may occur, while the normal
period of frost is already here. The
growers are expecting to receive the
usual high prices this year, but it is
doubtful if they do. Some of the pack
ers have been looking over the county
the past week. They admit that it will
be Hfair'' crop, even though it has
grown so unevenly. To the ordinary
observer it looks like an excellent filler
crop, and there may be a lot of desi-
able wrapper goods among it.
Lancaster leaf dealers are very
cheerful body of men these days, be-
cause business is better Big sales are
not in evidence yet, but as all are doing
some trading, the aggregate sales are
pretty large, and getting bigger every
successive week, recently. Some 1909
is going off, and those who have any
1910 can sell readily, but it is the 191
packing that interests chiefly the trade
centers. The packers have been busy
cleaning out the goods affected with
black rot, and find they have on hand
tobacco that ought to command ready
sale. Some has already been sold, and
the packers are in daily receipt of in
quiries regarding it from all parts of
the country.

New York.
NEW YORK. Sept. %. 1912,


The leaf trade still remains in a COM
atose state as practically nothing has
transpired to even cause fiutter in
the market. The reason for this is ap-
parent, as the various out-of-town buy
ers that were in town the past few
weeks have discovered that the tobacco
crops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
are not as yet marketable and their
visit to this city was premature. This
will necessitate another visit from the
western contingent at an early date
and it is more than likely that within
the next fortnight little activity in
the market will prevail. journal.

! ::
The Agricultural Department has in |

The Agricultural Department has in
one Of its green houses an elaborate
display of potted tobacco plants. That
is to say, in the winter they are under
glass but just at present they are out
for an airing and have been all sum-
mer. At this time of year they are just
about ready to burst into pale pink
bloom. The man in charge of this dis
play of potted tobacco plants and who
carefully tends them will tell you what
it all means, but it probably will not be
easy to understand him. He is apt to
be technical. He will tell you about
inoculation and sterilization and hybrid
ization. This growing tobacco consti-
tutes little plant breeding patch-a
stock farm for plants. Plants are be-
ing breo ,I~v much as horses, cows
and chickens ar. Old forms are being
modified and improved. The physiolo-
gist in charge of he tobacco investiga-
tions, A. D. Sham Il, has said that 1.-THE
Investigations an1 observations of
Charles Darwin es ;ablished the princi-
pies of the variab lity of plants under
cultivation and th4 influence of cOntin-
ued selection in the origin Of species.
Although Darwin himself did not pro-
duce any new species or varieties OF
plants, much of the recent practical
work of the breeder in the improve
ment of cultivated plants has been
based upon the principle he announced"
There are numerous angles to this
plant breeding business. There is con-
tinued seed selection for the production
of the hardest and most vigorous
plants. There is the incubation of
seed to produce the disease-resisting
types of plants. There is the modifica-
tion by breeding to produce types OF
plants most suitable for special locali-
ties. Seed that will produce one type
of plant in one place will produce diff
ferent type elsewhere. An Illustration
of this was the experience of the grow
ers of Sumatra tobacco under shade in
the Connecticut valley. The seed of
this variety of tobacco secured from
Florida and Sumatra and sown in the
Connecticut valley in 1901 and 1902,
was found to break up into several dis
tinct types, some of which were desir-
able, but most of which were unprofit-
able for the production Of cigar wrap
.pers. Since then the use of proper
methods of seed selection and breeding
have enabled the growers to propagate
the different types which are true to
seed, and to eliminate the Improbable
types of plants. Besides the crossing Of
numerous types of plants to. yield seed
that will produce tobacco of the desired
types, there is a plant hospital where
plants supposedly immune and those
not are infected with various plant
diseases, the degree of contamination
or sickness observed and the treatment
resorted to.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-10-04

1t will be news to the trade that in
the past nine months fully 100,0
pounds of Manila tobacco has been dis
posed of in this country. Yet such is
the fact, and Manila houses are now
planning to make a serious test to de-
termine if there is sufficient demand
for their goods in this country to make
it profitable to ship it here. The Ma
Mia Commercial Co. has been the heavi-
est shipper of Manila tobacco to this
ing of sixteen bales, weighing 800
pounds each, is on view at the office Of
Henry Rothenberg, broker, 172 Water
street, New York. This tobacco comes
from the Isabella and Cagayan valleys.
Isabella tobacco is the best for cigar
purposes raised in the Philippines and
Cagayan tobacco next, there being a
difference of few cents in price in
favor of the former for all grades. A
hand of Manila tobacco is packed some
what differently from that grown in
any other part of the world. Each leaf
is booked and the hand is packed with
the stems on the outside. The work Of
packing is done on the plantations by
the same workers who raised the to-
7bacco. The only distinction made IN
the different grades is that grade No. l
contains only perfect leaves and grades
No. 2, 3 and A contain more of the de-
fective leaves, the last named contain
ing larger quantity of these than the
others. The same bale contains leaves
of all lengths, hands, IA to "a inches
being packed in the same bale. The
principal advantage claimed for Manila
tobacco is it's mildness and the fact
that it burns exceedingly well.

The French government has been eK-
perimenting on huge scale with light
ming rods for the protection of crops,
particularly in the grape growing dis
tricts. It is proclaimed that the eX-
pertinent is successful and has saved
ten million dollars worth of produce
from destruction by hail during the
past summer. 1t is suggested that the
plan might proftably be adopted in the
tobacco regions of the United States.
The device, colloquically known as the
Lightning Trunk Line, consists Of a
chain of immense lightning rods of
pure copper, planted six miles apart,
the line extending across large districts
of country, transverse to the usual
path of hail storms. Each of the cop
per rods is 130 feet high and terminates
in a crown or aigrette of copper blades.
The base is in large pool of water,
preferably flowing water. The idea is
that these tall copper poles, with their
multitude points and perfected appa-
ratus draw down such quantities of
electricity from the clouds that there
is not enough left to cause hail and
lightning. The Eiffel tower is to be
used in connection with two supple
mentary posts for the purpose OF thus
draining the clouds in the vicinity Of
Paris. Critics hardly will dispute that
there may be virtue in this plan, but
may submit that a single summer is
not enough to demonstrate its efficiency
beyond the possibility of cavil.

Philip.-Quite number of inquiries
are coming in from various parts of
the country from those who left this
section OF. the state last fall, asking
as to the conditions at the present
time Farmers in this part of the
county are very optimistic and say
that the ground is in ideal condition
for crops and winter wheat is looking
fine. with the exception of some that
was rut in rather late. With the
amount of snow we have had this win
ter the most of which has gradually
melted and run into the ground and
filled up the water holes, the outlook
for big crops in Stanley county is very
bright and conditions in general are
80 far ahead of last year at this time
that there is no comparison Already
some Of these who have left are begin
ming to return, and Stanley county will
have the largest crop ever planted in
her history.
