Activity in the local leaf market con-
tinues unabated. There is constant in
quiry for all types of leaf and transac-
tions follow closely on the find of de-
sirable goods Nor is there much re-
sistance against the market price, al
though slight advances are being con-
tinually made. This very active condi-
tion of the market stands somewhat in
contrast with the reports of the pro-
gressiveness of our cigar industry, in
asmuch as the general returns of the
cigar output from the chief cigar pro-
ducing districts show falling off in
comparison with the January output of
last year. Evidently manufacturers do
not accept this falling off as criterion
for their years business. On the con-
trary, they seem to anticipate much
larger expansion than was recorded for
their production last year and IN this
anticipation they are on the alert to
make timely investments in, the raw
material. Almost every manufacturer
nowadays seems to be on the lookout
not to be caught short in his desirable
raw material and hence the rush to ac-
quire sufficient supply of domestic
shade-grown leaf and Connecticut, even
before these types have become sea-

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Feb. IS, 1914.

EDGERToN, WIS, Feb. Is, 1914.
Storms followed by zero weather has
interfered somewhat with the tobacco
movements during the week. Buying
of the unsold remnants of the crop is
quietly progressing, although the re-
naming crops are so badly scattered as
to require considerable riding in the
making of purchases. 1t begins to
look as if the crop would be pretty
closely gathered in before spring opens.
An occasional lot brings somewhat
near earlier prices, but the bulk of re-
cent sales range from 10c down.
Deliveries have been coming in mod
erately owing to the severe weather
of the week.
Most of the packers have been able
to dispose of their low grades upon
contracts to the stemming concerns,
but the price is said to rule at least a
cent under that received year ago.
Warehouse work is moving along
but SO large proportion of the crop is
destined to go over the sorting tables
this year that the handling season
seems likely to extend well into the
spring.
No news has developed in the cured
leaf market.
Shipments out of storage reach 200
cases from this market since last re-
port About 25 car loads have been
received from outside points for ware
house handling.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. 2, 191

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. 2, 1914.
That a great deal of the new tobacco
crop has been already sold is evidenced
by the large quantities now being re-
ceived at the warehouses all over the
county, but at Lancaster warehouses
in particular and especially at those of
the United Cigar Manufacturers Co.,
the American Tobacco Co., the Eisen-
body knows how these have been buy
ing, but they have probably taken up
many more crops than it was suspected
they were getting.
The old style of buying is not in
vogue with them this season. They
are not doing any indiscriminate buy
ing, but their men are going about
the work as carefully as the local buy
ers would go about taking up crops for
their own trade. In short, the crops
are being bought on their merit, no
standard of prices prevailing. The
grower who conscientiously brings out
goods of q superior quality gets the
best price being paid, while the slip
shod grower is paid according to what
he has.
The local packers are not crowded
with business CnoSo Gays, even LnOSe
who have little 1911 or 1912 left over
to trade with.
If the big concerns now buying begin
to gobble up the crops faster than they
are buying now, why then the Lancas-
ter packers will have to pitch in and
buy, too. The tobacco selling lately
brought from eight to ten cents, though
most of it went at less than the latter
figure, and it must be understood that
this was the really good tobacco. Since
the advent of e. L. Kimbrough and his
pooling scheme good many farmers
have stiffened in their demands and are
asking from ten to eleven cents for
wrappers and two to four cents for fill
ers. We have not heard of any of
these parties selling unless their to-
bacco was right up to the scratch.

A serious disease to tobacco plants,
which often greatly damages the crop,
has been carefully studied by scientists
Of the Department of Agriculture. The
department has just issued an exten-
sive report describing the nature and
symptoms of the disease and such
methods of control as have been found
effective. Careful experiment has
shown that certain insects spread this
disease, and In greenhouses, plants
screened with fine cloth and fumigated
with nicotine paper were kept free
from it. IN the field, the only method
of control at present available seems
to be the prompt removal of all plants
infected with the disease. Laborers
in the operation of worming, sucker
ing and topping tobacco plants may
readily communicate infection from
diseased to healthy plants, for if the
healthy plants are brought in contact
with the sap of diseased plants the
malady is apt to develop. This is in
addition to the spread of the disease
by insects, and as the infection is so
readily carried it is obvious that affil-
lated plants are always infection cen
ters so long as they remain in the field.
The methods of fumigation tried in the
greenhouse experiments proved so sue
cessful that the question of their ap-
plication to the seed bed is now under
consideration by the department. The
keeping of the mosaic" infection
from the seed bed seems most i'm
portant means of controlling its intro
duction and spread in the field. In so
far as outbreaks of the disease may
occur directly in the field the matter of
successful control probably will be
found to be exceedingly difficult. This
is matter still being investigated by
the departments scientists. The de-
velopment Of the mosaic disease, COM
monty spoken of as ''calico," in tobac-
co plants produces very noticeable
changes in their appearance. The bios
SONS of the plant are often distorted;
the leaves may be dwarfed, distorted
and blistered and are always more or
less mottled; frequently the entire
plant is dwarfed. In very young plants
at the two-leaved or three-leaved stage,
and in much larger plants, in the ro-
sette stage, the first visible symptom
of the disease usually appears as a
slight downward curling and distortion
of the smallest, innermost leaves. The
new bulletin regarding this disease can
be had free on application TO the De-
pertinent of Agriculture at Washing
ton, ID. G. The bulletin is No. 40 OF
the department series and is entitled
The Mosaic Disease of Tobacco.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

A decision recently handed down
from our supreme court will be of
special interest to tobacco growers of
this state for the reason that it re-
versed the findings of the circuit court
of Vernon county in the case of Rose
VS.. the Northrup King Co., seed con-
Germ of st. Paul, in case tried nearly
a year ago. In the trial court S. c.
Rose, Vernon county farmer, secured
Judgment of $1015.00 as damages
against the seed company because the
seed did not prove to be the variety
ordered. Rose contended that the seed
purchased of the King Co. produced an
entirely different type of tobacco which
was neither suitable for binder and
was sold at a much less price than the
Spanish generally raised in that COM
munity. A circuit court jury, COM
prised partly of farmers, decided that,
had the seeds produced tobacco, the
crop would have been worth approx
mately $100 an acre. The court holds
the company did not warrant the seeds
ordered "Comstock Spanish tobacco
seed" but the seed sent him came from
Virginia, and the decision of the lower
court was reversed. In other words,
the seed firm did not guarantee the
seed true to name and nature. The
Importance of this decision will at once
be apparent to every tobacco grower
that it does not pay to purchase tobac-
co seed from irresponsible concerns
who will not guarantee the varities.
There are plenty of people who make
it business to grow tobacco seed that
are willing to back the strain with am
pie guarantee and growers need have
no fear but that they will get what
they order from such people. The les
son of the Vernon county grower is
worth remembering.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Feb. 3, 1914.
Not only is the 1913 crop practically
closed to other than the consideration
of putting it on the market to a great
er extent than it now is, but even plans
for 1914 Connecticut tobacco are bios
soming forth. The growers of this
section are plainly elated with the sue
cess they experienced during the past
season. Nothing succeeds with the
Nutmeg contingent like high prices.
and these they had in plenty during the
time when buyers were riding their
fields. 1t is consequently agreed that
every square foot of ground available
for Connecticut tobacco will be set in
that agricultural product this year.
The warehouse season is on full blast
throughout the valley.

The Reporters columns for the next
few months will contain the announce
ments of reputable growers OF seed
who will guarantee not only the fert1l-
ity but the strains to be true to name
and nature of the varieties. These men
know the needs of the Wisconsin grow
ers and are doing much towards keep
ing up the quality of our production.
The decision of the supreme court,
therefore, is timely one and may save
our growers from similar losses in the
future. In this connection it is not out
of place to again urge our tobacco
farmers to plant only the best strains
to be obtained, as the price of seed is a
very small matter-the lowest of any
product produced on the farmland
they cannot be too careful about the
character of the crop at the other end
of the season.

Who Knows
Better?

Than this man who started with
nothing and accumulated a
vast fortune. Hear what he
says:
The failure of the man
who does not save his
money is due not only to
the fact that he has no
money with which to
take advantage of the
opportunities that come
in the way of every man,
but also and particularly
to the fact that such a
man is not able or fit to
avail himself of these op-
portunitieS. The man
who can not and does
not save money cannot
and will not do anything
else worth while.

feds Won't Get Club and
Take it Away.

st. Paul, Nov. 14.-Local fans will
rejoice that one Of the w greatest
dangers that threatened the st. Paul
American association club has been
removed. Charles Weeghman prac-
t:cally has closed a deal to buy the
Chicago Cubs, and hat means that
the plan to sell him the Saints and
move the club to Chicago has gone
by the board. The other danger, that
OF having the club removed to Toledo,
has not yet been disposed of. but in
dications are most hopeful. it is said,
that the club will be here in 1915.
The entry Of Weeghman into the
National league means that the plan
for baseball peace will go through.
The st. Louis Federal interests are to
get of the two major league clubs
in that city and the Wards Of Brook
lyn will get either the Yankees or the
Brooklyn club.
Whether or not the Federal league
continues to exist is nov a small mat
ter. for if it does it will be within the
fold of organized baseball.
The most generally accredited plan
for the settlement of existing troubles
has it tina the Federals will be raised
nominally to major league status, and
thus the pride of Gilmore will be
saved from too rude a shock. This
raising will consist Of the waving Of
the right to draft their players. Under
his plan the Feds will have a new
circuit, and changes also will be made
in the International league.
