LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 10, 1913.
Fearful of having their crops caught
and destroyed by hail or frost, the to-
bacco growers of Lancaster county
have already cut great deal of the
new crop, and it must be added regret
fully that great deal of it has been
cut green. Such tobacco will not cure
properly, and it will probably develop
an unusually large percentage of black
rot. And in addition to being cut be-
fore it has been properly ripened, the
stalks, generally, are not matured.
The losses by hail already this season
have been enormous, and the cool
weather recently has threatened more
hail and an early frost. Most of the
Havana Seed has been cut and the bulk
of it was farther advanced towards
maturity than the Pennsylvania Broad
leaf. When Havana was planted 1t
was with the idea of securing better
prices than for the kind SO long grown
in this county, even though the same
weight per acre cannot be obtained.
But better prices could only be COM
manded by first-class tobacco, and this
the Havana will not be. The leaves are
too narrow for one thing. And lot
that will be cut has been left so small
after topping that the stalks have few
leaves to boast of.
: The local packers are not pushed
with trade, but those having 1911 goods
would have no trouble in soon disposing
of all their holdings if they we're will
ing to take the prices offered, sacrifice
prices, which they will not accept. The
prices of thirteen and -a-half to fifteen
cents leave less than a profit to the
original packer.

TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, Sept. 19, 1913.

EDGERToN, Wis, Sept. 19, 1913.
The harvest of the tobacco crop has
been delayed considerably during the
week by rains and unsuitable weather,
so that possibly from 10 to Is per cent
OF the crop is yet outstanding and an
other week or ten days will be needed
to see it all secured.
Reports of an occasional sale of the
new crop reaches US, but since the lit
tie furry in the Trempeleau valley,
where a couple hundred acres were
contracted for, buying has eased. At
least no organized effort is apparent to
continue the movement in other sec
tions.
Sampling of last seasons packings
has become general and as a good deal
of cleaning is found to be necessary,
the samples may not reach the eastern
markets for some weeks yet. Aside
from few small transactions we learn
of no movement in old goods worthy
of mention. Packers report plenty of
inquiries for binder goods.
The shielded tobacco seems to be cur
ing satisfactorily; the recent rains
helping along the coloring.
The shipments out of storage reach
only about 200cs to all points since last
report.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 10.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 1913.
Market conditions remain favorable
for merchantable leaf. All types are
being taken as it were for immediate
needs, but persistent searches and in
quiries are being made for new binder
leaf. When that type is sampled the
rush for its acquisition is likely to be
tremendous. Sumatra is selling steadily
in response to increased needs, as is
also the domestic shade grown leaf in
response to the larger consumption of
wrapper leaf by the expansive activity
of our cigar industry. In the Havana
market things are likely to liven up as
soon as the exact conditions of the sit
uation of the new crop will be realized
by our own manufacturers. In Cuba
itself whatever of the new crop has
been brought into the capital seems to
have been swept clear into cosump-
tion already. A reflection of this sit
uation cannot but rebound in time ben
efcially on the Havana stock in our
local leaf market. Journal.

A New York opinion of the 1912
Wisconsin crop, as expressed by the
Leaf, will be read with interest by the
trade: The new Wisconsin crop is be-
ing sampled. The tobacco is said to be
in every respect practically similar to
the 1906 crop. 1t is predicted that the
manufacturers will be delighted with
the tobacco, but in spite of the high
prices the packers, it is generally be-
lieved, will be hard put to it to make
any profit on the crop. This crop of
tobacco will offer some relief to the
binder scarcity as it is better dried out
than is usual at this time of the year,
and most of it is ready for use now.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Sept. 10, 1913.
Buyers are making liberal purchases,
but the buying movement has at no
time this season been marked by the
excitement which prevailed last year.
A year ago probably 80 or 50 per cent
of the New England crop had been bar
gained for. This years buying has
been so radically different in character

One of the most enthusiastic advo-
Gates of the use of winter vetch as a
cover crop and green manure crop in
growing tobacco, potatoes and other
crops is J. w. Upson, the Baldwins-
vile tobacco grower. Mr.. Upson has
been endeavoring to get his fellow to-
bacco men about Baldwinsville to i'm
prove their land by sowing vetch each
fall and points with pride to his crops
of tobacco as evidences of the worth of
the great crop in restoring fertility.
Mr.. Upson advocates sowing in the fall
with wheat as a combination, using 40
pounds of wheat and the same of vetch
seed. The seed can be mixed and soWn
with common grain drill. The prep
aration of the land is the same as for
wheat or any fall crop and lime need
not be used unless the land is in need
of it. The vetch will not cause sour
ness. Aside from its value as fertil-
izer, an average crop puts 125 pounds
of available nitrogen into each acre of
soil, the vetch and wheat crop when
plowed under next spring will furnish
an abundance of humuS for the soil.
In heavy lands for tobacco and potatoes
this is particularly desirable and if it
can be secured In conjunction with veg
etable matter that carries so much val
liable nitrogen, this cover crop should
surely be chosen according to all ex-
perts. The only drawback to the SOW
ing of vetch hitherto has been the
nricn of tha seed tha statesmen aSkInO
S12 to SIS per hundred pounds. This
year the price is So per hundred f. 0. b.
at Detroit, which is about the only
place where the seed can be purchased
in any quantity.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Even while the gre at bulk of the to
bacco crop has been safely shielded the
present week will hardly see all the be-
lated fields harvested. And the time
for early frosts is so close at hand that
growers are using every endeavor to
secure the remainder safely housed.
The crop has very generally gone into
the curing sheds sounder leaf than
the average season as neither worms
or grasshoppers or storms have caused
much injury. Even hail, always more
or less to be feared, has apparently
visited smaller sections than the aver
age of series of years past. If fav-
ored with a favorable curing season,
there is ample reason to believe Wis
consin will yield the usual crop both as
to quality and quantity of leaf. The
growing season of 1913 has given less
anxiety to the farmer than that of
most recent years while the crop has
been in the fields.

Consul Harris in report on indus
tries in Sweden says more than so per
cent of the tobacco manufacturers were
united in one corporation in 1912. The
import of tobacco and it's manufactures
at Goteborg aggregated 2,167,0OO
pounds in 1912, an increase of 300, 900
pounds over 1911. The import from
the United States appears important
but shipments appear to be made
through Germany. American raw to-
bacco is blended in Bremen before
coming to Sweden. Cigars are import
ed from the Netherlands, Germany and
the United States and cigarettes from
England. The tobacco manufacturing
industry in this consular district is i'm
portant.

SKINNER AGAINST
PORK BARREL PLAN

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, jan S.-Representatiye o.
c. Skinner of Montrose enjoys the
distinction of being the first speaker
OF the house to go on record against
the division of the Internal improve
ment funds by the legislature. These
monies, says Speaker Skinner in a
statement to the Colorado Good
Roads Association, SHOULD be spent
on the roads of the state through the
agency of centralized commission.
! am unalterably opposed to any So
called pork barrel division. Wheth-
er this commission shall be one
man affair, or composed of several
members rests with the general as
sembly, but these details will be
worked out later
Representative A. P. Ardourel of
Boulder county, one of the house
leaders, also favors the expenditure
OF state monies on good roads
through the medium of commits
sion. The money will be better ex-
pended through commission, than
If divided by the legislature. Fix the
responsibility on some central body.
and you will get better results. The
larger the amount commission has
to spend the less will be wasted, be-
cause the responsibility will rest up
on that commission"
Continuing, he states, Colorado
needs good roads. They make the
state, and increase values every
where. In France, where | have
travelled, good roads are every
where. Because of these the farmer
can always get his product to mar
ket, and 1T is the good roads of
France which make that country
great"
Bills to secure the good roads leg
islation now desired in this state are
now being prepared for submission
to the annual convention of the
Colorado Good Roads Association. to
be held at the Albany hotel in Dem
YER January 1920. This is the
third annual convention, and will be
the most representative ever held.
The only subject to be discussed
Is the good roads legislation to be
presented to the general assembly.
Chief of all measures is that to turn
over all monies available from the
state for good road purposes to a
highway commissioner for expendi- |
ture. In this movement the Col
orado Good Roads Association has
the support of Governor Ammons, |
Speaker Skinner OF the house and

Of DEVELOPMENT
OF URANIUM FIELDS

The uranium and vanadium depos-
its in Colorado and Utah and their
development is discussed In recent
issue of the bulletin of the United
States geological survey. Referring
TO the development work near this
city, the bulletin says:
THE shipment of uranium and
vanadium ores during 1912 has been
in the hands of about dozen per-
sons and firms, and as in previous
years the ores have come mostly
from southwestern Colorado, with a
smaller production from southeast
ern Utah, between the San Rafael
Swell and the Colorado line.
The notwithstanding ores were
all carnotite, a variable compound of
uranium and vanadium with other
elements, found with several vanad-
ium minerals in sandstones of Ju-
rassic-Triassic age in the high pla-
teau region of Utah and Colorado. So
far the richest and largest deposits
found are in Montrose county, Colo,
in Paradox valley, Long Park, the
Mcintyre district, and adjacent terri
tory, extending into San Miguel, Do
lores and Mesa counties. In Utah
the deposits mined are in Emery and
Grand counties. Deposits which
were unproductive during the year
occur in Rio Blanco, Routt and Mof-
fat counties, Colo, and in Uinta and
San Juan counties, Utah.
