New YORK, May A, 1912.

Market conditions continue to be fair
Trading is going on in all kinds of leaf,
in some in larger, in others smaller
volume. There is no lack of business.
Of course, in some types the supply has
been pretty thoroughly ransacked. and
is fast waning. Noticeably is this the
case with the shade-grown and primed
wrapper leaf. The demand for the new
Sumatra is quite active, although not
overwhelming. AS each succeeding in
scription brings forth an equal amount
of available excellent leaf, and as prices
do not soar higher, manufacturers evi-
IDENTIFY take their time in making their
selections, being assured of plentiful
good supply of Sumatra for the current
year. The scarcity of available binder
stock seems to begin to pinch, even at
advanced figures demands cannot be
met with the fall supply. In the Ha-
vana leaf the market was little slack
the past week. j Journal.

NEW YORK, May 1, 1912.

Local dealers in domestic cigar leaf
are reporting that business has been
fairly quiet for the past two weeks
with the exception of some inquiries,
which have recently come in from fac
tories located in the Middle West. They
attribute this quietness largely to the
fact that the convention of the National
Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association, which
is to be held in this city, is only about
two weeks away. Most of the promi-
nent cigar leaf merchants of the vari-
Gus sections of the country are planning
to be present in New York at that
time, either as delegates or alterDates
from their respective associations, or
as visitors. Naturally, under the cir
cumstances, they would defer any
transactions with the New York leaf
merchants until that time.
Prices for all kinds of tobacco remain
firm, and the local leaf merchants are
strongly of the opinion that great
deal of activity may be expected with
in the near future. The scarcity Of
binders remains the salient point of the
situation. Every state that has pro-
duced tobacco of the binder variety, or
whose crop can, by any possibility,
produce proportion of binders, has
been curried by the dealers in the hope
of bringing to light an additional sup
ply of this much-needed material. In
spite of this, however, anything of a
binder nature is at a premium, and the
prediction is made that before the 1911
crops are ready for the manufacturer,
a binder starvation, and not merely a
binder scarcity, will have been exper-
fenced. Last year when this prediction
was first made the manufacturers were
very slow in accepting it, but signs are
now apparent that they realize the Sc
riousness of the situation, and many Of
them in the past few weeks have paid
through the nose for their lack of fore
sight Leaf.

The copious rains last week have
done a good deal of damage iii some of
the towns adjoining Stoughton. From
the town of Pleasant Springs it is re-
ported that the rains Of last week,
which in some places were in the form
of cloud bursts, washed away fences,
submurged the grain fields and tobacco
beds, doing much damage to both. An
old resident of Pleasant Springs says
he never witnessed such heavy rains as
those of last week. In some localities
the tobacco beds will have to be re-
fitted and reseeded, as both beds and
plants have been washed away.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

A1O0CR1O1N, w AS., Vudy ~, 1O1Z-.
The buying of the remnants of last
seasons crop is apparently stacking
away somewhat, though riding of the
country districts is yet being done.
The deliveries of the recent purchases
however are coming in quite freely at
the receiving points, showing that a
liberal portion of the remaining frac-
tion has been lifted. Late sales show
the same low level of prices, much of
it going at stemmers' figures. There
are good many hundred acres of to-
bacco still hanging in the sheds in the
western and northern part of the state
and growers have almost given up
hope of being able to take it down for
it remains dry so long that no ordinary
casing weather effects.
The market for old stock holds re-
markably dull, though the offerings are
not particularly plentiful. The only
sale of size, beside the usual small
trading, is 10Ocs lot of '06 packed by
John Walters of Oregon to A. Jenson
& Sons
At last some warm growing weather
has arrived, following good soaking
rains, giving the plant beds nice
start. The young plants are showing
in abundance and promise we'll.
The shipments out of storage reach
433cs from this market to all points
for the week. Since last report 6 car
loads have been received from outside
points for warehouse handling.

The tobacco growers are anxious to
get their fields plowed for the coming
crop, but much wet weather has inter-
fered with the work. Most of the
growers farm along other lines, too,
and blowing for other products comes
in ahead of that done for tobacco, and
as that has been interfered with by too
much rain, the tobacco land may be
late in being prepared for planting. If
luck favors them, the plants are set
cut the latter part of May, but more

At the experiment station at the uni
versity important discoveries have also
been made in controlling and elininat-
ing stem rot, the dying of young plants
in the seed bed, and rust, which prom
ises to aid the tobacco grower in mater
tally increasing the yield of his crop in
the future. These latter troubles, es-
pecially stem rot, doubtless cause as
much injury to the average tobacco
crop as black rot and if a certain rem
edy is found much of the risk in the to-
bacco business will be eliminated. These
experiments all point towards assisting
the packer who assumes many Of these
chances when he purchases tobacco in
the uncured state, as the prevailing
custom now stands.

To destroy cutworms, which often
times seriously damage tomatoes, cab
bage and other vegetables and garden
plants, government experts advise the
use of mash consisting of one bushel
of dry bran, one pound of arsenic or
Paris green and eight gallons of water
in which has been stirred half gallon
of sorghum or other molasses. After
the mash has stood several hours, scat
ter it in Jumps of about the size of a
marble over the fields where injury is
beginning to appear and about the
bases Of the plants set out. 1t is ap-
piled late in the day SO as to place the
poison about the plant over night, when
the cutworms are most active.

Canada is now raising great deal of
tobacco. The Improvement of the
quality may be imagined when it is
stated that some fifteen years ago
samples of the tobacco then grown by
the Quebec farmer for his own use,
upon being submitted to several of the
leading tobacco manufacturers in Eng
land, was pronounced to be of quality
quite unfit for their purpose; that IN
their opinion a use for it might be
found for fumigating purposes, as an
insecticide for greenhouses, and that
it's commercial value was about one
half cent pound. Tobacco is at pres
ent raised almost entirely in Quebec
and Ontario The total crop last year
was 20,OO0,00 pounds.

The house of representatives has ac-
cepted the senate amendments to the
Cantrill bill providing for the collection
of additional statistics of tobacco. This
action was taken on motion of Repre-
sentative Small of North Carolina, who
stated that Representative Cantrill fay-
ored the amendments. The bill now
needs only the signature of the presi-
dent to become law.

generally they are not in the fields un-
til June. A few years ago good deal
was not planted until early in July, but
when this is the case the crop does not
mature until the frost season.
The making of the seed beds is over,
and many growers can boast of beds
that have plants already above ground.
Reports have been received here from
various sections of the country, stating
that many of the growers who have not
yet sold their 1911 crop will put out a
reduced acreage this season.
The tendency is to increase rather
than diminish acreage, wherever a
grower sees his way clear to securing

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

That they are on the eve of discov-
cry that will save the tobacco industry
of Wisconsin and the nation millions of
dollars from the ravages of "black
rot, is the belief of officials Of the ag-
ricultural experiment station of the
University of Wisconsin. Authority
for this statement is James Johnson,
assistant in horticulture. "Black rot"
appears in tobacco after it has been
packed. "Our experiments, said
Prof. Johnson, ''have brought some
important results which will not be
given in detail to the public until placed
in bulletin form. Our remedy when
announced will not be in the care and
growth of the plant but in showing the
proper methods for curing tobacco, so
that this variable loss, reaching as high
as So, 600, 600 in 1892, can be eliminat-
ed. !" The effect Of this discovery will
be of unusual Importance to Wisconsin
growers, many of whom cure their own
tobacco. Over 10000 acres are grown
in thirty-fve connties.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-05-10

Of course the tobacco trade will be
anxious to know just what the pro-
posed remedy to prevent black rot con-
sists of, though the damage occasioned
by this disease has been somewhat
overestimated. If it is anything the
packer can prevent in his manipulation
of the crop in preparing the crop for
the cases, it will be gladly welcomed
and the discovery prove of much value.
1t has been quite generally supposed,
however, that the trouble was due to
certain conditions of soil or season
rather than the methods of handling
after the crop had been produced.
Science, however, is all the time max
ing discoveries of great value and we
hope Prof. Johnson has arrived at some
information on the subject Of black rot
that will be of benefit to the tobacco
industry. If his discovery proves a
sure cure he will accomplish something
the university will receive great credit
