SToUGHToN, WIS.,, March 28, 1913.

While some misunderstanding has oc-
Cured between buyer and grower as to
cutting of prices below the contract,
the general opinion prevails that the
crop last year brought good returns,
beyond that of any other crop produced
in Wisconsin, and that more acreage
will be planted this year in conse-
quence. Tobacco selling above 10 cents
a pound is we'll worth while, SO say
the farmers of Dane county. No corn,
no grain, no sugar beet crops can COM
pare with tobacco as source of profit.

We present herewith copy of the
Paul bill as it passed both houses of
the legislature, went to the governor
for his signature this week, and needs
only publication to become a law.
Section l. There is added to the
statutes a new section to read: Section
167On. Any person, firm or corporation
transacting business in this state that
shall enter into any contract for the
purchase of any crop that is not ready
for immediate delivery shall in all cases
weigh, or cause to be weighed, the crop
so pi released, at or before the time
such crop is delivered to the purchaser,
or to common carrier at the direction
of the purchaser for shipment, and
every such person, firm or corporation
shall ultimately make payment in full
for all of the crop SO purchased accord
ing to the weight SO ascertained and at
the price or amount specified in the
contract, without regard to the quality
or condition of such crop or portions
thereof at the time of delivery, unless
any inferior quality or unsound condi-
tion of such crop shall be due to the
negligence or wilful act of the vendor,
subsequent to such purchase, and in
case any purchaser shall fail or refuse
to comply with his contract as provided
in this section, the vendor, in any action
prosecuted by him to recover for any
crop sold to such purchaser, shall re-
cover as damages for such failure or
refusal, double the contract price of
such crop at the weight thereof when
ready for delivery and offered to or ac-
cepted by the purchaser.
Section 2. This act shall take effect
and be in force from and after it's
passage and publication.
While the new law is general in it's
provisions, the sole intent of the pro-
moters is to put an end to the practice
of field buying of tobacco by making
the purchaser assume the risks that
are generally borne by the seller. The
question whether such measure was
good law or not did not appear to ap-
peal to our law makers so much as
whether it would accomplish the pur-
pose in preventing the dealing in fu-
lures, and we are confident it will do
that. We do not believe many of the
buyers of tobacco will care to enter
into contracts for tobacco while it is
standing in the field or curing in the
shed and assume all the risks that
Slsight befall it before the time of de-
livery in the bundle. There are plenty
of other risks to be taken after the to-
bacco is received and before it is ready
for market to satisfy the most ven
turesome packers. The law may save
the farmer good deal OF bother from
buyers while crop is be-
ing harvested and cured, but the ques-
tion he is most vitality interested in is,
will it tend to bring him any more
in the end? After the law is
given trial he will know more about
it.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-04-04

It seems hard at this time to esti-
mate the losses sustained to growers
and packers of tobacco through the
disastrous floods that swept down
through the Miami valley in Ohio, the
principal growing and packing section
of that state. Dayton being quite
large center is known to have suffered
severely and warehouse Easements all
along the valley are flooded with water.
The first estimate of the damage at
two million dollars is probably too
large, but it is undoubtedly true that
the losses, which largely fell upon New
York merchants, will reach an enor-
nous sum. Until more particulars are
obtained the effect upon the market of
filler leaf cannot be determined. Sew
eral million pounds of leaf designed for
factory use the coming season was in
store in the warehouses of that state
besides the new crop yet to be handled.
-
Preparing the seed beds is the first
work of the grower towards another
tobacco crop and this will soon be the
order of the day. To start right, every
grower should be certain that he is
supplied with the best varieties Of
tested seed. Don't let dollar or so
stand in the way of planting good seed
while there is a plenty of guaranteed
varieties to be had A mistake at the
commencement might mean many less
dollars at the selling end of the season.
The character of the Connecticut to-
bacco product will change materially
this year, according to the states to-
bacco expert, Clarence H. Smith of
East Hartford, who keeps in touch
with the tobacco situation in the state,
and who said that there would be far
less shade grown tobacco in Connect
cut than usual and that the increase in
sun-grown tobacco would be proper
tionately large. Those farmers who
grew the shade-grown product last
season, said Mr. Smith. found that
the expense was greater than for the
sun-groWn, and that the increase IN
p-ofits was not in keeping with that
expense. So this year, | understand,
the majority of them are going IN for
the sun-groWn tobacco only.
