WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, Wis, Aug. s, 1918.
While the growing crop is not max
ing as rapid headway as was ex-
pected under the existing weather con-
ditions, especially the later fields, there
is noted advancement and the harvest
of some of the first paintings will be
started the coming week There is a
good deal small and uneven tobacco that
has yet chance if favored with suitable
weather, but month or Six weeks is
necessary to have it make desirable
crop.
The most important transaction in
old leaf in some time is the sale of $50
cases of II, of Conway & Birkenmeyer
to Baltimore manufacturing concern
during the week.
Some work of preparing for the sam
pling of last seasons packings is now
under way.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 1000 cases from this market to all
points since last report.

NEW YORK, August 2, 191

The prevailing dog days are treating
the leaf market rather kindly. For
neither the oppressive weather nor the
absence of the new seed leaf crops,
part of which is just now undergoing
sampling, is dulling business to a stand
still. Trading is therefore keeping up
in all kinds Of odds and ends of old
stock. Also in the steady absorption
of wrapper leaf, both domestic and i'm
ported. The domestic wrapper leaf
has its own innings. not only because
of the intrinsic merits of the higher
grades of it, but also because of the
growing complaint of the high price of
imported leaf. There seems, however,
to be no abatement in the steady de-
mand for the Sumatra The local Ha-
vana market is rather quiet for the
present, but in Cuba the buying of the
new crop seems to have started with a
furry. journal.

LANCASTER, PA, July %, 1913.
1t has happened that tobacco that
was so backward in July as to give
small promise of decent crop, devei-
oped so marvelously in August that an
excellent crop was the result. Unless
something like this occurs, Lancaster
county's 1913 crop will be, if not a
failure, then, very poor crop. Local
tobacco men declare the belief that it
will not amount to much, and they size
conditions up pretty well, as rule. 1t
is simply astonishing to see how little
most uneven one is apparent to even
the most casual visitor, but it is puz-
zle, even to the growers, why so much
of it does not grow. Here and there
can be found field with plants the
normal size for this season of the year,
while all around are fields with plants
little more than started
Weather conditions appeared fair,
and there has been some rain recently,
but the growers say not enough to
make tobacco put out it's best growth.
Many growers say their plants have the
black rot, which just rots off the root.
The tobacco planted very early appears
to have done better than any. The ex-
pertinent in Havana Seed does not ap-
pear promising at this time. Havana
Seed should have quick growth, say
around sixty days, TO bring the best re-
suits, and this tobacco has not had
enough rain to give it such a growth.
1t will be slow in maturing. When it
sells it must go cheaply, and thaG is not
what the growers were looking for.
They were after tobacco that would
bring better prices than can be OBJ
tanned for Broadleaf.
The packers are still guessing at the
number of acres planted in tobacco this
season, but opinions vary widely. Many
are of the opinion that the county is
growing 5000 acres less than usual,
while others think the acreage has not
been reduced.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July 20, 1913.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July %, 1913.
Heavy showers in the Connecticut
valley yesterday saved thousands of
acres of the 1913 tobacco crop from
certain blight. Early-set tobacco has
in most instances already suffered a
setback which will greatly reduce the
yield per acre. The plants had bios
somed when only knee high and an av-
erage yield of 1000 pounds per acre for
such tobacco is liberal estimate. Me-
dunn and late set crops which will soon
be in the bud, should show a fine stand
as the result of yesterdays rain.
Late-set crops which have survived
the drought have splendid future pro-
vided there is sufficient rainfall from
now on. The seriousness of the situa-
ton has not generally been understood
Not in decade have growers been as
blue as they were last week. Even
with the rain it must be borne in mind
that not more than half crop will be
harvested on one-third of the entire
New England acreage This means
that if prices are as high as last year
the owners of this vast drought-afect-
ed acreage may come out even, but
that they can hardly hope to make a
profit.
1t means also that hundreds of farm
ers will grow the 1913 crop at loss.
The foregoing is fair statement of
conditions which actually exist in the
Connecticut valley today. 1t indicates,
too, that, in view of the crop outlook
in Wisconsin, the binder shortage will
continue at least another year.
Printing of shaded tobacco is well
under way. On most of the plantations
the owners would have preferred to
have left much of the tobacco primed
last week on the stalk few days long
er. The rain of yesterday will prob
ably prove sufficient for most crops of
shaded tobacco.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


1t would seem to anyone who travel
ed over the tobacco growing sections
August 1st that there is good deal of
small, late tobacco that needs the very
best of weather conditions to see it
safely through the harvest. While the
state has had an abundance of rain,
possibly too much, the fields are not
making the headway of other years
under similar favorable weather. 1t is
claimed, and probably is true, that the
plant roots have been kept too near
the surface and have not penetrated
the soil deep enough to give the usual
fast development. This might account
also for slow growth of some fields and
the lack of spread of leaf after topping
in the early fields. In any event crop
of average size and quality is not yet
made and full month or six weeks
will be necessary with the most favor
able weather conditions to bring about
a satisfactory tobacco crop. That por-
tion Of the crop ready for topping
about the 18th looks like the better
prospects at this writing.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-08-08

It is question whether the growers
fully realize the Importance Of sucker
ing their tobacco fields at the proper
stage in their growth or even the effect
upon the cured leaf by permitting them
to grow and blossom. The scarcity of
help late years is no doubt the main
reason for the neglect of this part of
the work, as many growers do not
sucker the plants until just before cut
ting, and the substance which has gone
into the rank growth of suckers ought
to have remained to help perfect and
ripen the leaf. Some packers claim
that much of the damage in the cure
may be traced to this source of failure
to sucker the plant at the proper time.
At any rate, none will defend the
farmer for his failure to perform this
necessary work whether they agree
with this notion or not.

Financing

needs little extra financial back

temporary assistance to farmers

demonstrated their ability to re-
pay their obligations.

4 A witness appearing before the Con-
gressional Tobacco commission suggest
ed a novel plan Of protecting tobacco
growers, viz, tax of Is to 20 cents
per pound, to be paid the government
NV buyer, this sum, less the cost of adj
ministration, to be turned over to the
grower. 1t is estimated that the lat
ter would thus receive 10 to IL cents
per pound in addition to the sale price
of his tobacco. Questioned as to the
constitutionality of such an act, the
dog and sheep law now in operation in
several states was cited as parallel.
In the event of such a statute, it would
be necessary to have a federal enact
ment limiting the acreage.
