States as an Example of Christian
Country. Inspiring Occasion.
Thanksgiving was appropriately
observed in the South Georgia Con-
ference Thursday. By vote a resolu-
ton introduced by Rev. E. F. Nor
gan was adopted the day before that
conference adjourn at II O'Clock and
that Bishop Gambler deliver a SER
mon.
Fully 600 people assembled to
hear Bishop Gambler and to engage
in the special service. Bishop Cand-
Ter delivered most forceful address,
choosing as his text verse in the
e;ghty-fourth Psalm, Blessed are
those whose God is the Lord"
MY brethren" began the bishop,
"knoWing God is the basis of all true
happiness we are called together to-
day by the president of the United
States and by the governors of the
states to give thanks to God. This
is not true of any other nation. This
fact alone is a ground for thanksgiv-
ing. God has been in the making of
the government. When our forefath-
ers came to these shores they brought
two things with them-an' evangeli-
cal form of religion and the idea of
independent government. We can
have and continue to have peace in
this Western world as long as we
recognize Jehovah. No nation can
afford to do wrong; least of all can
we afford to do wrong.
War has put the warning nations
of the earth, temporarily at least, on
a prohibition platform. If this nation
is given to grapejuice diplomacy the
European nations have gone warning
on water When liquor goes down a
man reason likewise goes down in
him and the brute passions rise up
in him.
I'VE are not to go into the street
the partisans Of any class. New times
will never call for the approximation
of eternal principles. | hope that the
thanksgiving of this nation today is
not because the corn and wheat crops
this year are the most valuable in our
history, but because OF our spiritual
prosperity.
my countrymen, the schools of
this country have fashioned our ma
ton more than we have dreamed.
The educational center of the world
has been shifted from the center of
rationalism and materialism to this
country, and I am glad of it.
Il am here to say the wealth of
this nation today is largely in the
hands of the evangelical churches;
and we should see to it that our edu
cational institutions are evangelical.
I want behind us, if you please, great
spiritual siege guns, that this coun-
try remain evangelical until the end
of time"
In the afternoon another Thanks
giving service was observed, when
Rev. Walter Anthony of COrdele
preached to a large audience.

GREATEST WHEAT CROP EVER KNOWN
Supply of Seed Has Been Exhausted,
and Special Orders Are Made.

There is no doubt that Terrell
county will have the greatest wheat
crop ever known in its history.
Farmers who have never before
planted wheat are sowing it this year,
and 800 bushels of seed wheat that
was bought by Hon. ]. R. Mercer to
be sold to the farmers of this section
at cost has been exhausted, and
there is still a demand for more.
Many farmers have sent special Or
ders for seed, and others will do 50.
Flour from home-raised wheat will
be the rule instead of the exception
on Terrell county farms next year.

Many Terrell county farmers are
disposing Of mules to agents buying
them for shipment to Europe for war
purposes, and during the past six
weeks no less than seven car loads
have been shipped from Dawson.
There is still a demand for them, and
several car loads more will probably
be shipped before the end of the year
AS the farmers are not buying 9TH

sold they are evidently going to cur
tail the cotton crop, as the Georgia
mule is an important factor in the
production of the staple.

NEW YORK, March Il, 1914

NEW ORk, Marcn II, 1914.
An almost sensational impression
was produced in our leaf market yes
terday at the news of this years first
Sumatra inscription. To the Sumatra
importing houses the news was most
depressing, for even the biggest i'm
porting houses got only a few stray
bales while the bulk of the tobacco ac-
quired for America was taken by man
ufacturing concerns. Besides prices
were reported to have been almost pro-
hibitive for the American importing
trade. In consequence only about 100
bales were acquired for the American
market, or fully 1000 bales less than
were purchased by America at the first
inscription last year. The direct com
petition at the inscriptions by our large
cigar manufacturing concerns has un-
doubtedly the effect of boosting up the
price above the limit, which the leaf
importer has to set for himself in or
der to provide the Sumatra to his
home consumer at a reasonable figure
with living profit for himself. And
as the large cigar manufacturing con-
Germs need every year more and more
Sumatra they seem prepared to jump
in at the first opportunity to get what
they need and desire regardless of the
price. They thus set the price for the
Sumatra inscription of the year and it
seems therefore doubtful whether the
subsequent inscriptions will show ma
terial price reductions. On the other
hand the limited quantity bought at the
first inscription and the extraordinary
price paid by manufacturers some
instances as high as $2.4 per pound
would seem to indicate also that desir
able American marks will prove rather
short in this years offerings. From
whatever point viewed the result of
the first inscription seems to forecast
both the shortage of American marks
and higher prices than prevailed for
many year. This grave situation for
both the Sumatra importer and those
manufacturers who have to get their
Sumatra supply in the home market
overshadows every other interest In
the trade. Market conditions, anyhow,
were not very brisk during the week
as the output of our cigar industry has
so far during the current year fallen
behind the output of the corresponding
period of last year. ournal.

TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS, Mar. 20, 1914.

EDGEhIUN, w 49,, Mdf. ~, 1914.
A week of bad roads has interfered
somewhat with the deliveries as we'll as
the buying movement in the country.
Most of the purchases, however, have
been received, while dates are out for
the delivery of the balance. There is a
quiet hunting for the unsold remnants
that can be used for binder purposes
and sales are made at very moderate
figures compared with those paid for
the early selections. There are few
exceptions, however. Chris Felland
received 153 cents for acres and Carl
Felland IA cents for acres, sold to
Soulman of Janesville. There is con-
siderable of the stemming grades left
in country hands which buyers so far
have seemingly neglected.
Only a moderate business is being
done in cured leaf and but few lots of
any size remain in packers hands.
The contagion of "spring fever is
spreading among the warehouse help
and work is being prolonged somewhat
in consequence.
The first sale of the new packing is
reported this week, that of Richard
Holton & Co. at Whitehall of 480cs for
account of L. We'll & Son.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 800 cases for the week to all
points. Since last report Is car loads
have been received for warehouse han
ding.

New YORK. March 10. 1914.

Business in domestic cigar leaf to-
baccos has proceeded along very un-
eventful lines in the past week. There
has been more or less call for almost
every standard type of tobacco, but the
total volume of business has not been
large, and the demand comes princl-
pally from manufacturers IN need OF
small quantities for immediate use, and
who did not care to commit themselves
by heavy purchases. AS one cigar leaf
merchant expressed it: '"They are let
ting us carry the goods for them. !"
Possibly the only variation from the
above situation is the demand for Flor
ida-Georgia and the Connecticut shade
grown wrappers, the demand for which
continues brisk. Leaf.
BALDwINsvILLE, N. Y, Mch. II, 1914.
Discussion of the coming crop of
New York tobacco is rife in Onondaga
and the counties surrounding. The un-
usually severe spell of weather to which
that region was subjected late in Feb
ruary and early in March placed an
effective quietus upon much of the ac-
tivity of the tobacco country but now
that conditions are returning to normal
the entire situation is showing signs of
greater life. Deliveries of what to-
bacco there is remaining in the hands
of the growers are proceeding more
freely and the early spring season with
the packers is as busy as ever, but what
the growers are chiefly concerned with
is the prospect for their work this year.
It is safely established beyond all doubt
that as large an acreage and in some
sections larger one than heretofore
will be set in tobacco this year by New
York farmers.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The tobacco growers of this state are
pretty we'll convinced that under mod
ern methods now employed it is not
such a difficult matter to get their seed
beds started and good stand of seed
lings as it was years ago when the
farmers were not acquainted with the
newer ways of procedure. Very few
growers now experience any trouble in
securing plants of the proper size for
the field at the usual transplanting sea-
son, for oftener the plants are ready
earlier than most farmers care for
planting. The newest method, that of
sterilizing the plant beds, seems des
tined to become great factor in Sc
curing sure stand and earlier plants
than anything yet adopted. Under this
plan growers can wait two or three
weeks later before starting their beds,
or until the cold, dry winds of early
spring are passed, and still be pretty
sure of getting better results than the
old ways of the cold frames of sand or
canvas covered beds. There is but lit
tie question but that the sterilizing
process will prove the greatest help to
the tobacco farmers in the way of in
suring an abundance of early plants.
and we hope in time to see it in gen
eral use.

One of the most troublesome and eX-
pensive features of tobacco culture,
particularly in the southern districts,
is the control of numerous insects,
which if not combated would often
times completely destroy the CONNER
cial value of the crop. Among the
more important insects attacking the
tobacco plant may be mentioned the to-
bacco fea-beetle, the tobacco wire
worm, cutworm, the hornworm or
green worm, and the tobacco bud
worm. Of these the hornworms or
green worms are usually the most de-
structive For detailed information
regarding insects attacking tobacco and
methods of combating them, the reader
is referred to Farmers Bulletin 12O,
entitled 'The Principal Insects Affect
ing the Tobacco Plant" The new bull
letin, Tobacco Culture, - is Farmers

cations may be obtained by application

ture, Washington, d. c.

The Treasury Department has pro-
mulgated the decision of the Board of
General Appraisers at New York on
the 5 per cent discount on goods i'm
ported in American vessels as provided
by the recent tariff act, but which the
Department held up on decision OF
the Attorney General, and which was
protested against by importers who
claimed the benefit of the reduction IN
tariff duties. The Board holds that the
language of the statute is plain and not
ambiguous; that a discount Of 5 per
cent should be allowed on the duties
imposed on goods imported IN Amerl-
can ships; that such discount Will not
abrogate, impair or affect the provls-
ions of treaties between the United
States and foreign nations; that the
favored nation clauses in treaties be-
tween the United States and foreign
nations are not brought into question
by the allowance of the per cent dis
count because the allowance does not
grant favor to any particular nation;
that provisions of commercial treaties
are not self-executing and are not with
in the jurisdiction of the courts but adj
dress themselves to the politica depart
ment of the government; that treaties
which modify rates of duty on imports
are in contravention of the constitu-
tional perogative of Congress to lay
and collect duties and the House to
originate revenue bills and such treat
les are not enforceable by the courts
without the sanction of the House and
Congress; and that goods in ware
houses at the time the act of 1913 be-
came effective and subsequently with
drawn are not entitled to the discount
even though they may have been i'm
ported in American vessels; the dis
count applies only to such goods as
''shall be imported" in American yes
sells after October 8, 1913.

At the annual meeting of the New
England Tobacco Growers association
a committee of three were appointed
to be known as the legal committee to
have drawn the proper forms for con-
tracing to sell tobacco. These forms
are to be kept with the secretary of
the association and can be had for the
asking by any member. The feasibility
of the use of this contract was discuss
ed from all angles, and it was gener-
ally agreed to be one Of the best moves
yet made by the association. 1t would
not only bind the tobacco buyer but the
grower. w. H. Pinney of Sufield,
Ct, introduced resolution to have a
grievance committee appointed, and
this was carried. A committee of three
is, upon the request of any member of
the association, to investigate any COM
plant in regard to the sale of tobacco.
The committee is to report at the an
nual meeting of the New England To-
bacco Growers association it's findings,
whether favorable to the farmer or to
the dealer. 1t is pointed out that
neither farmer nor dealer will wish the
fact that he has dealt unjustly or dis
honestly paraded before the 500 mem
bers of the New England Tobacco
Growers association.
