FLOOD TO MAKE
INVESTIGATION
PLANTERS WORRIED ABOUT
PRICES OF DARK TOBACCO
BRIGHT WEED HOLDS OWN.

''The tobacco question is one Of the
pertinent ones of the day" said MIR
bohn ]. owen, director of institutes
in the department OF agriculture yes
terday.
"In the present year the price OF
dark tobaccos for export has dropped
to figure hardly up to the cost Of
production. In some of the counties
in Virginia, where dark tobarcns are
grown mainly, the producers hardly
make the price of shipment
bright tobacco, on the contrary. fs
far UP. The price Is about four time
as much. and the growers of the
bright weed are rolling in prosperity,
figuratively speaking, while the dark
growers, are in the depths of de-
spair. also, figuratively speaking.
There seems to be no remedy to
offer at this time, except that of a
discontinuanee OF the raising OF dark
tobacco"
MIR. owen said he did not know
that the tariff had anything to do
with 1t. but that the growers had
employed. or would employ. Congress-
man Hal .. Flood to take a trip
abroad and investigate the, proposition,
so that by the time for the next crop
the atmosphere might be cleared.
1t Is not known what time Con-
gfessman Flood may he able to go
abroad on this mission. 1t is hardly
likely he may be able to go until the
adjournment of congress ON March
4th
Looney. unless the governor sees fit
to interfere. will die in the electric
chair Fsr->y. The state Supreme
Court Of Appeals refused to grant n
writ Of error in the case.
THE growers are very much per-
turbed." said Mr. owen. and they are
dead anxious to learn the cause OF
the great difference in the dark and
bright prices"

CHANGING THE SEASONS.
In China IL 10 Summer When the En-
peror Saws Ii Is

The emperor of China has some
strange duties. One of these is the
ordering of the seasons. 1t is summer
in America when the sun warns the
earth and not until then, but in China
it is summer when the emperor says
It is summer. AS soon as the emperor
declares that summer has come every
body in China puts off winter clothing
and arrays himself in summer garb,
no matter what his feelings on the sub
ject may be. All domestic arrange
ments are made to suit the season as
proclaimed by the emperor, although
they may not suit the individual at all.
The nearest approach to the Chinese
system of ordering the seasons is the
practice observed in France in all pub
lie buildings. There it is winter on
and after Oct. 1. Fires are then light.
ed in all government offices, and the
employees exchange their white sum-
mer waistcoats for the thicker and
darker ones Of winter. At that date
the public libraries are closed at 4, and
in the streets the sellers Of toasted
chestnuts make their appearance. In
official France it is winter, no mat
ter what the weather may say and no
matter what unofficial France may
think.-New York Press.
