YIELD Of TOBACCO
IS INCREASED BY
IMPROVED METHODS
Department of Agriculture
Sends Out Report on
Nearby States.

Maryland. Virginia, and North Caro-
line are the three States mentioned in
report from the Department Of Agri-
culture as having greatly increased
their yield of tobacco by using the Inn
proved cultural methods recommended
by the department.
The department has realized that ro-
tation of crops is a necessity for tobac-
CO as well as for most other farm prod
ucts, and those farmers in Virginia,
Maryland, and elsewhere who have act
ed on the advice of the department and
rotated their crops, now find that they
are raising two and three times as much
tobacco as they did before the correct
culture was applied.
1t has been found that the old stand
ard types of tobacco can be greatly I'M
proved in productiveness and in quality
by the process of breeding and selec-
ton. and several desirable new types
have already been produced. A large
quantity of tobacco seed is now grown
directly under the supervision of the
departments tobacco specialists located
In the various tobacco-growing sections.
The human organism has again been
replaced by a mechanical device, this
time an instrument for smoking or
burning cigars under uniform condi-
tions, and thereby furnishing compari-
sons of the various grades and types.
This device has eliminated the necessity
OF the actual smoking of the cigars by
those conducting the tests. except for
the final test for the aroma: Nothing
has vet been discovered which can sup
plant man himself in this capacity. The
necessity for the new device, however,
NAV be appreciated when tits remember
ed that the old way was for one man 10

order to find out a giod plant as a
foundation for developing a type salts

CAMP MEETINGS
IN FULL SWING IN
NEARBY COUNTIES
Great Falls Session Draws
Crowds of District
People.

This is the season of camp meetings
In almost every neighhoring county Ia
Maryland and Virginia church members
are gathered to hear strong sermons
aud good singing.
While the majority OF Washington
people do not know the real meaning
of a camp meeting, there are many n
the District who enjoy going over into
Virginia or Maryland to an old-uuao
Cpen-air service.
At Berton's Woods. near Lcesburg, Q
big meeting is being held. The Rev.
7. ]. Lambert, is presiding. Old-time
hymns, such BLESS Be the Tie That
Binds" and Shall We Meet Beyond the
River" are being sung with an earnest
ness characteristic OF such meetings.
Large numbers of people from the sur
rounding country and many from Wash
ington are in attendance.
Today at Great Falls more than LOCO
persons heard the Rev DR.. Charles
Bulla, OF Nashville, Tenn, preach. The
large tent was packed. and many stood
Zip on the ouside. Before the morning
sermon, an experience meeting was con-

70 the railways and to general industry
if the same hostile spirit toward the
railways which animated the Senate
IN excluding their ships fro mthe canal.
Hampering the Railroads.
As explained in this column last week,
the position Of the railroads, according
to leading banking interests. is the
weakest point Of the present situation,
hampered as they are in their attempts
to secure suffisient revenue to support
their operations and impeded in their
efforts to secure necessary funds for
maintenance and the like, through an
inability to market bonds except at ruin
Gus rates. And IL they are further re-
stricted and curbed in the exercise of
natural rights or /by the imposition of
additional burdens and additional re-
strictions, their task will be none the
easier. As It Is there seems every rea-
son to believe that their equipment this
year will prove insufficient to move the
crops to market without serious and
costly delSys, and 1t will profit us lit
tie to raise big harvests in the future II
we cannot market them, because in pur-
suance Of an illiberal policy, the car
riers become seriously crippled.
In addition to the Washington devel-
opments, the financial district expert
enced during the week its first real
taste Of the active stage Of the Presi-
dental contest and II cannot be said
, that II enjoyed the favor very much,
though the first dose was not very large.
This came in the shape of the first
speech of Governor Wilson's campaign
delivered at Gloucester, n. J. His refer
ence to the protective tariff as that
dam against which all the tides of our
prosperity have been banked up" did
not sound nearly as reassuring when
read in Wall Street, as his mild present
ment of the tariff problem in his speech
out stock market influence, however
unless a contraction of business on Fri.
day might be traced to that source, OF
which there Is no evidence.
The Speculative Program.
The general Impression in Wall Street
at the close of the week was that the
| market program had been considerably
disarranEed by the starting OF the Presi
Dental campaign al this early date ant
by the Washington developments, parti
cularly the prospect of a longer session
OF Congress than has been anticipated
1t is held In some usually well-informec
circles that the revival of market &C
tivity had been based largely upon tn,
theory that an early adjournment O.
| Congress and an expected delay II
opening the campaign until about tn,
middle or last ofNSeptember. would giv'
the country and the security market al
interval of rest for a month or so II
which the many favorable factors in tn
/, situation. such as the abounding crop
The Washington times., 1912-08-18

and the like, would have full play and
receive the consideration they merit
There Is no way of proving the accu-
racy Of conjecture of this kind, but
the theory seems not unreasonable, for
the security market would un-
doubtedly forge ahead IL for brief in
terval II could be spared distractions
and alarms. which are agitating II con-
tinually. The uncertainty is, of course,
heightened by the triangular contest,
which complicates matters very much
indeed from the standpoint Of the finan-
cial observer. In conservative banking
circles the impression appears to be
gaining ground that the progress of the
campaign will be marked by increasing
unsettlement, to industry. chiefly, how
ever, because the vetoes of the wool and
steel tariff revision bills give an added
issues, and because of extremely radical
views on these subjects expressed by
Governor Wilson In his Gloucester ad-
dress. That these are well calculated to
camille community seems evident.
Better Foreign Advices.
More encouraging advices from
abrcni were a distinctive feature of
the week, and these concerned both the
money and the security market. The
Improvement in British consols was
hailed with much satisfaction by bond
dealers and by international banking
houses, for the well-known reason that
a recovering movement In the premier
security rarely fails to exert a senti-
mental influence on other issues. The
attitude of Europe, and particularly OF
London, toward the American bonds OF
late has been one of studied avoidance
at least as far as the old established
railway issues are concerned. From the
very inception of American railwa,
building these issues found a ready sale
in the English markets. and the virtu
ally estoppage of such buying in recent
months has been one of the unpleasant
features with which bond dealers hav,
had to contend.
The local bond market showed in,
creased activity, but this could scarcely
be regarded as due to strict investment
buying, for the issues which figured
more prominently on the exchange were
of a speculative description. Still the
| expanding movement gave some encour
agement to investment dealers. Th,
| money market showed practically M
change, call money ruling abundant anC
easy. and time funds In fairly good sup
| ply at to AZ per cent for ninety days
ranging up to AZ TO per cent for fiv,
and six months. While bankers are still
| looking for an active demand for none,
| in the autumn, the fears of undu,
stringency have passed away, and It Il
| generally believed that supplies will b,
| sufficient to meet all legitimate require
| ments at fair rates. The bank state
ment failed to disclose as large a gail
in cash as had been predicted, but tn
| changes in the principle items were tri
fling, and the exhibit attracted little at
| tention.
