The leaf market seems to be still hot
on the trail of the enturesome invest
ments Sin futures" in both the Wiscon-
sin and Connecticut tobacco fields. In
Wisconsin a very large yield is eX-
pected, estimated at about one hundred
thousand cases, of which rs per cent is
reported to have been contracted for
already, and in New England similar
condition seems to prevail But wheth-
er the crop will turn out to Justify the
high prices at which it is being con-
tracted for is still problematical. The
very moist weather the past week and
the sudden temperance of tropical
temperature this week are said to be
anything but beneficial for sound cure
of the tobacco in the sheds. In fact, 1t
is being reported that the combination
of excessive dampness and heat is like
ly to produce considerable pole sweat.
But such sinister surmise might yet
proper change in weather conditions.
Not less interesting for the market
conditions will be the information that
our consumption of Sumatra during the
past fiscal year amounted to about
thirty-one thousand bales and was
therefore about eight thousand bales
larger than its consumption during the
calendar year of 1911. What stimulated
this excess consumption is likely to oc-
cupy both the reasoning power and
speculative faculties of the market.
The more so, as our domestic wrapper
leaf had during the same period an al
most clean sweep. The business of the
market seems to be satisfactory.

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 3, 1912.
Cutting tobacco in some places and
topping IN others is the unusual spec
tacle now presented in the fields of
Lancaster county, With the frost
month already here, there is consider
able tobacco not ready for cutting even
now. Naturally much of it will not
mature before the normal frost period.
Taken as a whole there is not any par
ticular fault to find with the present
crop beyond its uneveness, and it ought
to finish up all right.
There will be no buying on the field,
and every crop will be taken on its
merits. No standard prices will be
fixed, and it will be case of every tub
standing on its own bottom. From all
the reports | hear the big leaf and ci-
gar concerns are so loaded up with old
goods that they are not likely to prove
formidable competitors for this years
crop.
During the past week the Lancaster
packers have been gratified by the re-
ceipt of numerous inquiries after the
1911 packing, for which there is every
reason for believing the trade will soon
be making a very active demand. There
is lot of black rot among many pack
ings, but sound goods have brought
fourteen and half to sixteen cents.
During the past week a goodly number

EDGERTON, Wis, Sept. 13, 1912.
The field buying movement is slack
ing away and the volume of transac-
tions have materially declined over that
of the past two weeks. The large op-
orators are taking things more leisurely
Indicating that their orders are nearly
filled, while no new men have taken
the field so the excitement of the first
buying is gradually subsiding. Up to
date, however, prices have been quite
generally maintained while the first
selections have been made but scarcely
more than half of the acreage of the
state is yet contracted for though it is
generally conceded that very large
per cent of the more promising crops
have been sold. The following are a
few sales showing the range of prices:
McGinnis Bros, 14a at 12a&4c.
Chas. Bowen, 10a at 12&3c.
And Doldad, 10a at 12&4c.

The harvest is being pushed along as
rapidly as possible until the bulk of the
early fields are we'll nigh secured. The
later tobacco has been coming forward
to maturity very fast of late and some
excellent leaf will be harvested should
frost hold off two or three weeks yet.
No news of Importance has come to
the surface in the old leaf market. A
4OOcs packing of 10 of Geo. Loomis of
Windsor is reported sold to Chicago
firm. Sampling of last seasons pack
ing has commenced in limited way,
but the tobacco has not dried off as
we'll as it ought yet.
The shipments out of store reach 300
cases from this market for the week to
all points.

Tobacco harvesting has started on
most of the fields and the farmers are
happy for every load they are able to
save before hail storms or frost reaches
it. Considering the violent weather
had in many sections, this vicinity has
been singularly fortunate. Corn, tho
taller than ever, is still standing erect
and if allowed to remain it will make
pleasant harvesting for the farmers.
A more beautiful corn crop was never
seen hereabOuts.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES ::
::

This has been the heavy week of the
tobacco harvest with the growers of
this state and the work has been crowd
ing so hard that every bit os additional
help available has been pressed into
service with long hours in order to
proper " care for the crop. The ex-
tremely hot weather of the past two
weeks has brought on the ripening SO
rapidly that it is with the utmost diff
ficulty that growers have been able to
keep pace with the work at hand. AS
the greater part of the crop in this
locality is under contract at fancy
prices, every load harvested beyond the
reach of hail. frost or storms means
dollars the farmer can safely count on,
hence his anxiety to see his crop Sc
cured before any calamity might over
take it. The early portion of the crop
is now pretty generally secured. The
warm days following have promoted
rapid curing so that already some idea
of the color and texture of the cured
leaf may be determined, and it prom
ises to yield some of the brightest to-
bacco the state has seen in years. This
is most pleasing news to the dealers
who have wagered their money that
the crop would eventually meet their
expectations of a fine crop. Two or
three weeks are yet needed to COM
plete the harvest of the later portion
of the crop that is exceeding ex-
pectations in the making of good deal
of very fair tobacco.

The Reporter last week made brief
mention of a disease discovered this
season in tobacco fields that was seri-
ously effecting the crop and suggested
that the experimental stations might
give us some explanation. We are
under obligations to Prof. James John
son of the university agricultural ex-
pertinent station for the following in
formation:
A new disease of the tobacco plant
has apparently just began to make it's
appearance in Wisconsin tobacco Sec
tions. This disease attacks the roots
of the plants in the seed bed and field,
causing them to wholly or partially rot
off, killing the plants or leaving them
in stunted or dwarfed condition. The
trouble is known as root-rot of tobacco
and is caused by 3ungus (Thielavia
basicola) which lives ii the soil and is
parasitic upon the roots of many plants.
The disease has been known for many
wears in Europe and in Connecticut and
Ohio where it is serious pest. The
trouble will undoubtedly become seri-
Gus menace to many growers in this
state, especially in wet seasons, unless
precautions are taken to prevent it. II
the disease occurs in the plant bed the
growers should be careful not to set in
fected plants in the field as the trouble
will continue, and the disease is also
spread over the farm by such methods.
When the disease has once occurred in
the seed bed, do not use the same bed
for plants again. and preferably rotate
the tobacco field. In case it is unde-
sirable to change the location of the
seed bed, the same purpose may be ac-
complished by sterilizing the soil of the
seed beds by steam heat. Methods OF
applying this remedy will be furnished
by the experiment station upon request

There is far more significance in
what congress failed to pass than IN
what it did pass concerning trade af-
fairs. The two measures passed con-
Germ solely and exclusively the interests
of the southern tobacco raisers, and the
measures which failed of legislation
had their initiative in the sentiments
and actions of the northern tobacco
trade. The two measures passed orig
mated with representatives from the
south, and have for their object the
sole benefit for the hogshead leaf to-
bacco growers. The one measure COM
pels the semi annual publication by the
census bureau of statistics OF the stock
of leaf tobacco in the hands of leaf
dealers and manufacturers. The pur-
pose of this law is to disclose the snort
age or surplus of leaf tobacco chiefly
of the southern variety so that the
southern farmers, or rather the middle
men and commission men who contract
most of the hogshead leaf for sale to
the manufacturers may take advantage
of the knowledge gathered officially to
raise prices. In vain was 1t pointed
out that the department of agriculture
collects and publishes monthly the con-
ditions, state and yield of all our to-
bacco crops, and that the internal rev.
enue bureau publishes annually the
statistics of the annual consumption of
leaf tobacco by all of our various kinds
of tobacco manufacturers. Official in
formation and general knowledge OF
the yield of all our tobacco crops, and
of what there is actually consumed was
therefore on hand already. But what
was missing was specific information of
individual holdings, and the democratic
house permitted itself to be used as a
spy for that purpose by authorizing
and directing the census bureau to get
this information from the individual
dealer and manufacturer to be used as
a club against them by the spectators
in hogshead leaf. But not content with
spying on our own individual tobacco
manufacturers, the other measure pass
ed sets up congressional committee
to do like thing to the foreign coun-
tries for the equal benefit of our spec
ulators in hogshead leaf. For the Gre
alton of congressional commission to
investigate the purchase of American
grown tobacco by foreign countries is
roughly speaking nothing else than an
attempt to exact also higher tribute
from the foreign corporations and re-
gies which are compelled to use our
southern tobacco.--U, 5. Tobacco
