doing homework all day, and crawling

that it is the only binder in sight, is

: WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS. Jan. 26. 1912.


The absorbing interest in local tobac-
co markets for some time to come is
likely to be the receiving and ware
house handling of the tobacco crop con-
tracted for months ago. This is now
being taken and settled for as fast as
the facilities for packing will warrant.
Weather conditions are yet somewhat
against crowding this work, although
most of the warehouses are running
with full forces and will be kept busy
until the spring months. We hear of
no effort to purchase the unsold frac-
tion of the crop at present.
Business in old leaf is still confined
to moderate sized transactions to meet
pressing needs of manufacturers, and
no news of Importance in this line has
developed.
There is steady line of deliveries
coming to this market each day and
much receiving is done at outside points
by the larger operators.
The shipments out of storage reach
1877 cases and z carloads of bundles for
the week to all points. Since last re-
port 81 carloads have been received for
warehouse handling.

VIRooUA. WIS. Jan, II, 1912.

There is little new to give out re-
garding tobacco matters, except that
there is procession every day, not
withstanding the rigors of awful mer-
curry numbers and the bad snow drifts,
each day the highways leading to vi
roqua are literally used for that kind
of hauling. Every grower appears to
be anxious to make delivery of his
holdings, but the breaks are applied by
buyers, who are not able to handle or
receive faster than the capacity of
their crews and warehouse room per
nit. 1t will be next April before all
can make their deliveries.

acre crop of 5, $50 pounds, which yield
ed in returns $705.06. This is one OF

The government statistical agents
have made another guess upon the
probable yield of the 1911 tobacco crop
in final report of the year just issued.
They place the yield in Wisconsin at
1850 pounds per acre, which may be a
pretty fair guess made before the crop
was delivered but in light of the true
condition of things it is about 300
pounds out of the way and cannot be
relied upon in making up the true es-
innate of the crop in this state. The
Agricultural Department is in too much
of q hurry to get it's figures before the
public and consequently they are not as
reliable as they might be made on more
thorough investigation. This is the
reference to Wisconsin: During the
early growing season the prospect IN
dicated one of the finest crops ever
grown in the state. Dry weather IN
July and early August retarded growth
until many late fields looked worthless.
Some, cut during the dry weather, is of
small size but good quality. Rains in
August-Septembe caused rapid growth
and plants still in the fields improved.
In some localities heavy hail, wind,
grasshoppers and worms did more than
usual damage. The part of the crop
that escaped weather and insect dam
age went into the sheds in fine cOndl-
ton, and the cured product is the best
obtained in several years. Harvesting
was three weeks later than usual. A
yield of 1850 pounds per acre was real
lied; the price per pound was 10 cents
results better in both respects thar
last year.

Activity in the. market is reported to
be in fair condition. Selling seems to
be going on steadily in all types Of leaf
and few complaints are heard about
prices For some types demands are
larger than for others but all available
and serviceable leaf is likely to find a
purchaser. Some houses are credited
with selling large blocks and one house
in particular is reported to have closed
these days a sale approaching nearly to
six figures. This apparently contented
state of affairs in the leaf market is
likely to be somewhat disturbed by the
final report on our cigar leaf crops
raised last year and just issued by the
Department of Agriculture in Wash
ington and republished in full in other
parts of this paper.
The market limped along this week
with little or no excitement so far as
large orders are concerned. Most of
the statesmen are now on the road,
show bound or otherwise, and they are
hoping that the hearts of the jobbers
will thaw out before their tongues get
frost-bitten talking stimulating lines.
Bunches of hard-luck kilograms and
letters have been received; also COM
plants from distributors as to the nom
arrival of shipments. The hard wealth

Why Should Not the Government Clear
Wisconsin Lands?

AS a ground for the use Of funds
arising from the sale Of public lands for
the irrigation of private lands, the
Senate committee on irrigation says:
t.It is admitted that these lands can be
given away to the railroads or devoted
to internal improvements, or the pro-
ceeds can be given to educational or
other enterprises or utilized in any way
within the discretion of congress. If
such be the case, why not use it to
clear land nearest to, and not the most
distant from, the central markets?
Why go to the farthest corners of the
world to do something for the benefit
of the people who want homes?

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

1t seems to be generally conceded
that the 1911 crop is making the best
yield of any tobacco grown in the state
for some years past. The receiving so
far indicates an average weight of
about 1900 pounds per acre the state
over. One reason at least for this un-
usual yield of HaYana Seed is that the
fields contained full stand Of plants,
there scarcely being a hill missing in
most of the fields. Then the large
growth and rather high case in which
the tobacco was tahcc down, all con-
tributed to the heavy yield. A big
yield means more money to the grow
ers, whatever the cause, who are car
.rying away some fat rolls when their
crops are marketed this season. When
low grade tobacco selling around six
cents brings the producer better than
500 per acre, as it does this season, it
is pretty good branch of farming to
stay by even if it is a risky crop. No
other crop grown under such unfavor
able weather conditions can come any
where near making as good a showing
that much is certain. Then again,
there seems to be pretty stable mar
ket for low grade tobacco even if the
grower fails to meet his expectations
in making the crop.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-01-26

In view of the trouble tobacco grow
ers have experienced the past few
years from grasshOppers and worms,
manufacturers of Paris Green, after
experimenting, have developed light
er gravity and fuffier Green for spray
ing purposes. The Green which gives
the best results in water spraying,
staying longest in suspension, covering
the foliage more thoroughly and giving
the most effective poisoning, when used
in connection with meal or other pow
der for dusting over tobacco is inclined
to pile up in little heaps, not spreading
evenly over the leaves as does much
coarser and heavier Green. The ideal
Green for dusting tobacco wOnld be al
most impossible for general spray work
in water. To overcome this difficulty
and to give all our customers the same
satisfaction that has been experienced
in general with our Paris Green, we
are this year preparing to make an
ideal Paris Green for tobacco work.
The Sherwin- Williams Co. say they are
the first manufacturers of Paris Green
to attempt this, and because of the
difficulty of using such a heavy, granu-
lar Green for wet spraying, our special
Tobacco Green will be far and away
ahead Of that of any other maker.

The distribution of selected tobacco
seed will be made by the United States
Agricultural Department in 1912 as
heretofore. Last year total Of 3,118
packets of selected seed were distrib-
uted to persons especially interested in
obtaining the best types of standard
varieties as we'll as new and improved
varieties developed by the Bureau Of

bulletin of the Department of Agricul-
ture. It is customary for members of
Congress from tobacco growing sec
tions to attend to the actual distribu-
ton Of this seed.
