GAYS MILLS. WIS. Aug. 22. 1912.

One of the most damaging wind and
hail storms visited the northern part of
Crawford county Sunday afternoon at
about O'Clock. doing an immense
amount of damage to hundreds of acres
of tobacco and other growing crops in
its path. The storm seems to have
originated along the border line be-
tween Crawford and Vernon counties,
near the head of Sugar creek, and tray-
eled, first in a southeasterly direction,
sweeping territory perhaps three
miles in width. The damage is vari-
ously estimated. The tobacco crop was
a valuable one and scores of the dam
aged crops had already been contracted
for at from 13 to Ice. Since the storm
buyers have been riding in the hail-cut
districts recontracting at from 5 to &c.
Some estimate the total loss to grow
ers in the district at $3.50, 900, while
others put it at twice that amount.

DEERFIELD. WIS. Aug. %. 1912.

Riding among the tobacco fields in
this vicinity is we'll under way and some
purchases have also been made. The
local man now buying so far reported
to US is John McCulloch, representing
Mr. Ellingson of the Eisenlohr Co. The
prices offered are around 12&4c for well
advanced crops. The tobacco fields are
coming ahead most rapidly. A good
share is topped and at least one man
has harvested little. So far there is
no damage, and if the crop is given a
fair chance hereafter it will be among
the leafest and soundest crops grown
in this vicinity.

NEW YORK, August "a, 1912.
The real break in the seasons dull
ness seems to have come this week
when a considerable number of buyers
secured the market and are reported to
have made some heavy purchases. In
what? One is informed that desirable
stocks are so low that heavy invest
ments in them would seem out of the
question. That binder stocks are scarce
is undoubtedly a fact. The shade-grown
wrapper leaf has we'll nigh been clear
ed out and Sumatra supplies largely re-
duced. True, there is an abundance of
Pennsylvania, nearly three crops, on
hand but nobody seems to be over
anxious to load up on them. So the
heavy purchases by the buyers in mar
ket might have been pronounced as a
canard were it not that they extend
chiefly to the New England Broadleaf
which was supposed to be undergoing
yet peacefully its customary sweat but

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, Wis, August 80, 1912.
The field buying movement is being
crowded along under high pressure in
the southern growing sections until the
contracts placed since our last report
very likely aggregate good many
thousand acres. Seldom has so much
tobacco been sold in the same length of
time or at figures more generally salts
factory to growers. 1t is estimated
that fully rs per cent of the crop that
looks as if it might reach the sheds
within the next three weeks is already
under contract. In the northern sec
tions we are advised that the buying is
proceeding more leisurely because of
the still higher prices demanded. Green
tobacco never before sold so rapidly in
Wisconsin so far away from the har-
vest. We cannot attempt to report
only small fraction of the sales, but
enough are given to show the range in
acreage and price.

A fair commencement is made with
the harvest which will become more
general next week, but good portion
of the crop is yet to be topped and a
full month Of suitable weather is need
ed to see it safely housed. The late
portion of the crop, however, is coming
forward very rapidly these days and
with favorable conditions it is not i'm
possible that nearly full acreage may
yet reach harvest.
A few lots of old leaf have changed
hands since last report. The Johnson
packing at Morrisonville of 200cs 10 is
sold to A. S. Flagg. A. Jenson & Sons
sold 150cs '06 and M. Pelton 160cs '06
to a Chicago dealer.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 400 cases from this market to all
points for the week.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

We are getting the kind of weather
now just needed to bring to maturity
the tobacco crop. Warmer weather
that has prevailed the past two week
has given the later fields new impulse
and has been the making of good
many thousand dollars of leaf every
day. 1t is quite evident if the early
tobacco that has been most sought
after by the buyers reaches maturity
and cures out as good leaf as is an
ticipated there will be plenty of medium
and late tobacco that will also meet the
standard If frosts hold off to a rea-
sonably late date there is reason to be-
lieve that Wisconsin will harvest at
least 1000 case crop of binder leaf,
enough to supply the market needs of
the country if only the trade could af-
ford to pay the price already estab-
lished. 1t begins to look as if the buy
ers who started the market, banking
on the theory that not over one-quarter
Of the crop could reach the sheds, have
made bad bet. And yet there is a
month yet before the crop can be called
secure and lot of things might hap
pen in that time.

One of the chief aims of the tobacco
work in the Department has been to
maintain an effective bureau Of inform
alton for accurately answering all legit-
innate requests for information. The
results of these Investigations have
been published from time to time, the
more practical being presented in
Farmers Bulletins intended for general
distribution. A list of the available
bulletins may be had by applying to the
secretary of agriculture A great many
tobacco growers are under the impress
sion that the governments agricultural
workers are merely theorists, too sci
entific to be practical. This of course
is an error and the sooner the skeptical
farmers rectify this mistake the better
it will be for them. Agriculture today
is science; and the time is about over
when anything but scientific farming
can succeed. The governments ex-
perts may have barked up the wrong
tree occasionally, for the experimental
is pioneer and must make many false
marches before he finds the true trail.
But science is truth, and the results of
the governments experiments are
facts, not theories. Every farmer,
presumably, is a taxpayer, and as a
taxpayer he has footed the bill for
every scientific venture that has been
made; so as long as he has paid for it
he ought to reap the benefit, if there is
any. If he fails to avail himself of the
knowledge so gained it is his own fault.

The early buying in Wisconsin might
be justified by the absolute lack of any
proper binder supply. Besides, the GER
tainty of near change in the tariff is
not likely to seriously affect the price
of binder leaf. But it would be differ
ent with the New England crops. For
not only is it an absolute certainty, as
absolutely certain as anything human
can be, that a change and radical
change in the tariff will be undertaken
by congress early next spring, no mat
ter what party may carry the presi-
Dental election, but that during the
pendel.cy of these tariff changes busi-
ness will drop. The uncertainty of the
final outcome which may last for
months is likely to have an even more
disturbing effect than the final settle
ment. So to pay now prices CORES
ponding to the present prosperous con-
dition of the country and to present
needs for goods not marketable till we
are in the midst Of another upheaval
likely to demoralize all industries if the
Democratic program for tariff for
revenue only is carried out, would ap-.
pear to be rather more than mere
risky venture in futures. "-U. S. To-

Certainly this is the tobacco growers
year! It is estimated that if the pres
ent crop is all harvested without any
misfortune the tobacco growers of New
England will probably pocket upward
of $40, 900, 900. The value of the shade
grown tobacco this year should be more
than it was in 1911, as most of the
growers have added one more year to
their experience to the production of
Cuban under CLOTH The shaded crop
alone should be worth not far from
81, ,25O, 900, provided it is harvested
without hail or other injury, and is
properly cured. The acreage here in
New England of out-of-door tobacco is
3 to per cent larger than last year,
making the total approximately 20, 900
acres. The market for the crop last
year was excellent considering the
quality of the tobacco to be sold. The
disastrous hail storm last year, just
prior to harvest, greatly reduced the
amount of wrapper and binder tobacco
put on the market in first-class shape.
Since there is stable demand for cl-
gar leaf wrappers from New England,
any falling off in the supply, such as
then occurred, logically results in in
creased demand the following year
n. E. Homestead.
"a prominent buyer said in the hear
ing of the writer recently that it took
more time travelling around keeping
farmers from cutting unripa tobacco
which ne had contracted for than it did
to buy the crops, which, if true, dis
closes one of the evils of field buying
so frequently spoken of. Higher the
prices greater is the temptation to vio-
late the better judgment of growers to
harvest immature tobacco, which of all
things should be avoided.
