NEW YORK, May "a, 1913.


Taading in the leaf market continues
in fair condition. 1t could hardly be
otherwise in view of the considerable
progress made by our cigar industry in
the past month, as recorded in the in
ternal revenue returns published else
where. The most striking activity
seems to prevail in Sumatra transac-
tians which continue not only brisk but
almost extraordinarily expansive. The
new crop seems to possess the features
most desired by the cigar industry and
it is being absorbed almost as fast as
it is being imported, in spite of the ad-
vanced price. But the active wrapper
demand is not exclusively confined to
the imported leaf 1t also extends to
the various grades of our domestic
types which are being disposed of in
larger quantities than for some seasons
past. And what other available type
of leaf is on hand is sharing its full
proportion of sales. The Havana mar
ket, however, is somewhat disturbed
about the contrary reports on the burn
ing qualifications of the new Partido.
1t is too early, however, to pass final
Judgment on 1t.
Disposition is being shown by the
cigar manufacturers to believe that the
summer months of 1913 will be in this
branch of the industry what the last
six months of last year were in that
cycle of time. 1t is believed that the
summer which is beginning will pro-
duce the slow but sure improvement
making for satisfactory business year
during 1913 with the cigar men. j our

LANCASTER, Pa, May Il, 1918.
The local packers appear to be mark
ing time and waiting for "the good
times to come" The packers have of
late been rounding up their 1912 pur-
chases, and deliveries have been quite
heavy. A number of Lancaster dealers
have been buying in York county,
where plenty of cheap tobacco can be
had. The Hoffmans of Maytown have
in particular been heavy purchasers,
getting crops all the way from three to
six cents. In Lancaster county prices
have been somewhat better for the
growers, running from five to eight
cents. A few New York concerns have
had agents buying up the remnants OF
the 1912 crop, at seven and eight cents.
Not a great deal of the new crop is
left, and at the rate it is now being
bought up, it will soon be out of the
growers hands, much to their relief.
While there has been no sampling of
tobacco yet, it being much to early,
yet some of the growers have been in
specting portions of their holdings, and
have found some black rot-but not
more than is usually found when the
crop is of the age 1912 is now.
Packers and growers generally ap-
pear very little concerned over the
coming experiment with Havana Seed.
1t was at first supposed that LOCO acres
would be about all that would be plant
ed in Havana Seed, but it looks now as
though fully 1,500 acres would be set
out, nearly tenth of the cOunty's
acreage of tobacco.

EDGERTON, WIS, May 81, 1918.
The plant bed situation is assuming
better aspect. Warm weather has
at last come, just at the time when the
proper conditions bring about surpris-
ing results. The young plants are in
shape now to come along very fast and
week or ten days of the right wealth
er may change the prospects of getting
the plants into the fields materially.
With corn planting not completed, it
looks as if the tobacco growers might
have plenty to do to get their fields in
readiness for transplanting within the
usual dates for this work.
With the closing of the warehouses,
the market points have lapsed into
their usual summer quietude. Even in
old leaf there is very little busi-
ness being conducted, except to meet
the small order needs of the manufac-
turers.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 800 cases from this market to all

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May 81, 1913.
The Connecticut tobacco crop ap-
pears to have been given several
days setback during the earliest stage
of its cultivation and, according to the
latest reports, is now almost entirely
recovered from the effects of 28 and 30
degree mercurial registrations such as
were evident at Sufield and Hartford
about the middle of the month. The
cold snap, producing a heavy freeze,
did not do as much damage in the to-
bacco fields as it did in the orchards
and early gardens, but it is conceded
among the growers that the tobacco
plants suffered a few days setback,
that they are now recuperating from
this smart blow, and very good. Con-
necticut weather during the last few
days has developed highly pleasing
features. There is no rain in the to-
bacco growing sections at present.

Tobacco plants are having slow
growth. insufficient sunshine, heavy
rains and cold condition of the earth
are not encouraging to early planting.
The Bekkedal warehouse was the last
in the city to close for the season,
Wednesday last, the date, after four
months run. At all the houses large
numbers of cases were packed. 1t was
a busy season for owners and their as
sistants, furnishing employment for
all available help, and in fact, sufficient
workmen could not be secured. Cen

to provide the necessary facilities and
help to buy, manufacture and sell to-
bacco in all forms by the government.
It further authorizes the bureau to buy
any factory or manufacturing or selling
plant at the cost of duplicating the ma
chinery and buildings. But it shall be
unlawful to include in the purchase
price the value of brands, or to make
any allowance for the good will of the
business. And it is further proposed
that after July, 1916, it shall be unlaw
full for any person, firm or corporation
to buy, manufacture, sell or deal, in
any form Of tobacco, except such as
may be appointed agents, or officers of
the United States government, who
may be charged with the duty of buy
ing or selling tobacco for the govern
ment, and the violation of the act shall
be punishable by fine of 81, 900 for
each offense and Imprisonment for one
to five years. To put this plan into
operation the treasury department is
authorized to sell United States indus
trial bonds to the amount of $500, ,000,
900 to bear per cent interest. A to-
bacco monopoly is foreign institution.
Of course, the tobacco growers know
of it, but do not know of it's origin and
substance. Foreign governments have
been compelled to establish tobacco
monopolies for the sole purpose of get
ting extra revenues for the support of
their army and navy and not for the
purpose of enriching their own tobacco
growers quite the contrary. S

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

At last warm days have again re
turned, much to the relief of the to-
bacco growers who have been anxious
ly waiting for conditions that would
hasten the growth of the plant beds.
Recent rainfalls have so thoroughly
saturated the soil that about all that is
needed now is plenty of sun and warm
temperature to bring about quick
growth of the young plants. Owing to
the delays experienced in other farm
work it seems quite probable that the
plants will be in readiness by the time
growers can have their fields prepared
to receive them, though it is certain
that the transplanting season will be
later than usual this season. Just how
serious the shortage of plants will be,
due to unfavorable conditions in getting
the seed beds started, cannot as yet be
foretold, but generally in seasons when
transplanting opens late with dearth
of plants, the contemplated acreage. is
rarely reached. 1t is pretty certain,
however, that the coming crop will not
show much additional increase in Wis
consin the present season.

Tobacco is grown in Pennsylvania in
two general systems of farming. One
of these is the continuous cropping sys-
tenn of growing tobacco year after year
on the same piece of ground. In some
sections of the state, where the area
of tobacco soil is limited, it is neces-
sary that this method of farming be
followed. Tobacco has been grown
successfully on the same soil for as
long as thirty years in succession. The
chief trouble in this system is to keep
up the fertility of the soil. The supply
and then poor yields result. The grow
ers who successfully practice this sys-
tenn of growing tobacco keep up the
humus supply and fertility of their soil
by liberal applications of manure and
commercial fertilizers and the use of
cover crops. Rye or wheat is fre-
quently sown after the tobacco has
been harvested in the fall, and then
plowed under in the spring. When rye
is used it should be plowed down be-
fore it has grown too tall. If allowed
to stand too long it will be slow to rot,
and will cause the soil to be dry. Al
though rye and wheat do not add any
nitrogen to the soil, they supply humus.
Crimson clover and vetch also make
excellent cover crops, adding both nj
trogen and humus to the soil. But the
chief objection to crimson clover and
vetch is the high price of seed and the
difficulty in securing a good stand The
other farming system, more success
fully practiced than that of continuous
cropping, is the growing of tobacco
right in rotation with other crops. In
Lancaster and York counties this sys-
tenn is followed almost entirely. The
rotation generally followed is tobacco,
wheat, grass (timothy and clover and
corn. This is four-year crop, four
crop rotation Sometimes the grower
draws this rotation out six years by
growing two crops of wheat and two
of grass. Another rotation sometimes
used IS that of tobacco, wheat and
grass. In this rotation tobacco follows
grass and the grower produces no corn
