Declare, and Will Quit

SUFFIELD. Conn. Sept. Coon
necticut Valley tobacco growers have
read with interest the Department of
Agriculture statistics concerning the
1912 tobacco crop. But these statis-
tics. which Secretary Wilson's sub
ordinates prepare at considerable ex-
pense to the Government. are in the
main absolutely valueless to any
branch Of the tobacco industry, farm
ers assert.
According to these statistics the
average price paid farmers for to-
bacco in August was III cents a
pound. as against 9 cents and a frac-
ton a year ago. The average price
of tobacco, growers are informed, has
not reached II cents a pound until
this year since the close of the civil
war.
New England farmers grow the
great bulk of the fine domestic
wrapper tobacco. Prices paid for this
years crop have ranged from II or
Is cents a pound to 80 cents for Ha-
vana seed and broad leaf strains.
Only damaged tobacco has sold below
the minimum price named,
National Average Useless.
