Very little Of the low grades for
stemming purposes has been moved as
yet, hardly enough to establish price
for these grades of the new crop. Or
dinarily from Is to 40 per cent of the
crop in recent years eventually finds
a market to the manufacturers of scrap
tobacco and of tate years the price has
been around seven cents. Aside from
the cheaper crops of farmers, the fill
ers and rags obtained from packers go
to make up the class of low grades
that go to the stemmers. Wisconsin
leaf is generally preferred by the
scrap manufacturers but prices have
ruled higher the past few years than
formerly and some substitutions from
other states have been made in conse-
quence. One or two large manufacture
ers have turned their attention to
Pennsylvania for their supply where
prices were cheap rather than pay the
price for Wisconsin. Some large stocks
have also been carried over so there
seems to be question whether the
low grades of Wisconsin will bring the
accustomed figures this season or not.
In the contracts for the new crop
about cent more for filters has been
paid than heretofore and if packers
have to take less for their low grades
there will not be much evening up on
the binder end of the deal this year.

Taken on an average, the prices of
tobaccos all over the United States are
high. The buyers say so, the brokers
say so, and the manufacturers affirm it
to. be true. Wrapper goods, filler
goods, binder and smoking and chew

that make the grower feel good. Some
claim that in the case of smoking and
chewing tobaccos the foreign corpora

they say that the reason cigar leaf is
higher is because there is real competi-

companies. There may be something
in these reasons offered, but the real
cause in our minds is Supply and de-

is rapidly-growing demand for bright
tobaccos. Virginia grown tobacco is
going into cigarettes all over the world,
and in ever-increasing quantities. Since
China has abandoned opium, the cigar

the industry. There are more people
to use cigars, ard anyway we are using
more and more of them each year
Crops have been bigger than this year,

Dear Editor Era.Leader.

In reply to "An Inquiry in

| beg to state that section 18 of
Act No. PA of 1912, reads as to|-
lows: There shall be selected
by the patrons If each local
local school district in the man
ner to be provided by the Board
of School Directors Of the Parish
in which the school district is
located, the parish of Orleans
excepted, three auxiliary visiting
trustees who shall have the same
qualification as members of the
Parish Board of Directors. The
said trustees shall visit the
schools of their respective dis
tricts and shall make quarterly
reports to the Parish Board of
Directors of the actual condition
of the schools, and shall make
needful suggestions in all mat
ters relating to the school of
which they are trustees. F"
The matter of selecting local
trustees is practically in the
hands of the Board of School
Directors. In some sections of
the State The Boards of Direct.
0rs deem it necessary to have
local trustees to assist them.
