LANCASTER, PA, Aug. Fl, 1912.
At last the tobacco in the fields of
Lancaster county, as crop, has begun
growing, and during the past week,
under warm rains and hot sunshine, the
backward plants have forged ahead,
though three weeks behind the season.
1t has been many years such a season
was witnessed as this present one. r.
regular growth is hardly the name to
do justice to the situation. Only about
Is per cent of the crop is topped, and
August is three parts gone, while some
fields have already been cut. The crop
is not only irregular in sections, it is so
in the same field Some plants are
turning yellow, as though the roots are
being attacked by some enemy. In or
binary seasons considerable tobacco is
cut by this t. e in the season. and now
the growers are not even guessing when
they can cut. The growers appear bent
upon getting out good crop if it can
be done, for they appear to have caught
on to the fact that the packers don't
care at present whether the crop is
raised or not. They have been discuss
ing the topping question pretty seri-
ously, and the belief is pretty general
now among the growers that better to-
hacco will result from high topping,
and there will be more weight.

maturely on the @. T. in response to
requests from anxious buyers. So this
old-fashioned and most conservative type
of all cigar leaf has to submit also to
the quick living and advanced ripeness
of the modern hustle. It seems to be
therefore also in concert with such pro-
ceedings that the tobacco crops are
being contracted for so hurriedly ever
before they are off the fields. But what
may prove as foresight in one case
might turn out as disastrous specula-
ton in another. Journal.

Creamery Cost of Making Butter.

1t costs exactly 2.66 cents to manu-
facture one pound of butter, according
at at the the l state ua am at Albert Lea
Mimi, which is operated Under the
supervision of the state dairy and food
department. Of this amount 1888 cents
is charged to power, labor, ice and sim
liar expenses: .48 of cent for main
tenance of plant and 81 of cent for
interest on the investment. This
amount, added to the cost of the raw
material, which is variable, gives the
reasonable price which should be charg
ed for butter.

 BUSINESS MAN
ROBBINS SAYS HE WANTS RUT- LAND so THAT c. P. AND GRAND TRUNK WON'T
 GET IT.

New York, May 24-At the hearing yesterday in the Supreme court here on the motion in behalf of minority stockholders of the Rutland Railroad Company for an injunction restraining the New York, New Haven & Hart foard railroad from taking over con- troa of the Rutland from the New York Central. AttoF0ey Edward D. Robbins, ahief counsel for the New Haven, said that the New Haven wanted the majority stock of the Rut- land only because the Rutland was necessary link for the New Haven by which to get into Caanha from Bos- ton. It was a protective move by the New Haven, the attorney said, because of the fact that the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific roads were plan ming t.- make Boston a terminus for their uaA A-continenfal lines.
 Attorney h,bbins said that President mGellen of the New Haven and the oth- CT officials of the road were plain, honest business men.
 Then why don't they pay the mi n0rity stockholders of the Rutland $1c6 a share for their stock:" asked MT. Untermyer.
 The majority stock is to be taken over at that figure, according to the agreement MT. Robbins quoted Pres 1dent Mellen's reason, which was to the effect that the New Haven had too many drains on its reserve at .re0ent to take over the rest of the stock.
