New YORK, Au

New YORK, Aug. /, 1914.
The war excitement, in fact the war
panic, prevailing at this writing, is not
likely to perceptibly, or, at least di-
rectly, affect the fortunes of the leaf
market. Even a general European con-
flagration could not directly cause in
furious inroads into our cigar industry,
as the exports of our cigar industry to
European countries are an absolutely
negligible quantity. Neither will the
raw material that we need for our do
mestic products be affected by any
blockade that may be carried out by
the European beligerent powers. Hol-
land being and independent country not
drawn into the vortex of war will be
able to supply us with Sumatra in the
bottoms of it's own ships. And as for
the foreign cigarette tobacco, that, too,
comes from countries who are not IN
volved in the present imbroglio, as long
as there will be neutral ships to carry
that tobacco to our shores. AS for our
domestic supply, the prospects have
never been brighter for better and more
serviceable cigar leaf crops. So the
leaf market can cradle itself in secur-
ity of continued activity and uninter-
rupted flow of business regardless of
the disastrous upheaval that may take
place on the European continent. There
may be drawback in view in the labor
market.
There is likely to be also an uneasy
feeling about the stringency of the
money market, caused by the sudden
and increasing return of American Sc
curities held abroad, the payment for
which has to be remitted in gold. But
luckily the institution of our federal
reserve bank system was planned for
just such an emergency and from that
source relief is certain to come to the
commercial interests which otherwise
might be hit by money stringency.-

EDGERToN. WIS, Aug. z, 1914.
The condition of the growing tobacco
crop is not as assuring as we would like
to write about, and the prospects Of
the harvest not as encouraging as a
few weeks ago. Rain is badly needed
in most of the growing sections to help
the development of the earlier fields
now topped and to prevent quite no.
ticeable tendency to spindle in the later
fields. The grower will gain nothing
by permitting the plants to grow up a
long Towering head. If there is pre-
determined nature to spindle it might
as we'll be topped one time as another
for it is bound to produce small leaf
in any event The outlook at present
points toward large proportion of
short "B" tobacco in the present crop
and vastly more of it if the dry wealth
er continues for another week.
Sampling of last seasons packings
has hardly yet started and the market
for old goods furnishes no news of i'm
portance at the present writing.
The shipments out of storage reach
only about 200 cases from this market
to all points since last report.

LANCASTER, Pa, July 27, 1914.

LANCASTER, Pa, July II, 1914.
Havana Seed tobacco will be cut in
Lancaster county considerably in ad-
vance of the Pennsylvania Broadleaf.
Most of it has been topped already,
while only comparatively small per-
centage of the Broadleaf has been top
ped. The first tobacco cut will be
around Washington Borough, along the
Susquehanna river. A few days ago a
representative of big New York
house was in the county around Wash
ington, looking over the field and get
ting samples.
Havana Seed growing is no longer
an experiment in this county, for fully
1900 acres are planted in it. The
Broadleaf crop will be a great one if
natural causes do not harm it. Some
is topped already and it will not be long
before topping is general. Our pack
ers are pretty well stripped of old
goods, not counting the 1909, and they
will be heavy buyers Of this year s
crop, no matter what big concerns en-
ter the field. The growers, alive at
last to their own interests, used better
commercial fertilizers than usual this
season, and gave it all the care they
possibly could give it. .
The packers continue to give only
favorable reports regarding their 1913
tobacco If any of them have found
any considerable amount of black rot
among their packings they keep the
fact pretty quiet, but it is considered
that as a rule the packing shows less
than the usual per cent Of black rot,
and no other imperfections. Some of
the 1913 has already been sold to York
county manufacturers.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July 28, 1914.
History is being made rapidly in the
Connecticut valley tobacco belt. Since
the last issue of the Tobacco Leaf
priming of the shaded Havana Seed
crop has>begun and considerable part
of the acreage of sun-grown leaf in
Connecticut has been sold. Never in
the history of New England tobacco
growing has there been more spirited
competition for crop or more furious
buying than has occurred in Sufield,
Windsor, Simsbury, Enfield and other
large Connecticut towns in the past
week. Exact prices are hard to get at
and of course vary according to the
condition of the crop. Probably 20
cents a pound is fair average price
for sun-grown crops to be delivered in
the bundle An allowance of 3 or
cents a pound is made when contractors
call for priming. Some crops of sun
grown tobacco have sold as low as 16
cents pound and others as high as %

Tobacco root rot, which caused con-
siderable loss to growers last year, has
again made widespread appearance
in Wisconsin, according to James john
son, instructor in horticulture at the
college of agriculture, who has just
completed an inspection trip through
the tobacco districts. The disease pro-
duces a stunted condition of growth
and causes a too early topping of the
plants. If the plants are pulled up and
examined, the root systems will be
found to be decaying. The rot is
caused by fungus whose development
on the roots of tobacco plants is made
possible by moist weather conditions.
Since the tobacco plant is always send
ing out new roots to take the place of
those destroyed by the rot, fair crop
Of tobacco may yet be produced in spite
of the early set back, providing rela-
lively dry weather prevails for some
time

Up to the present time only IA, 900
bales of Sumatra tobacco have been
purchased by the importers, which is
10000 bales less than what was bought
by the same people for the American
market last year. This does not include
the purchases by manufacturers.
No hard and fast rule indicates when
cigar leaf tobacco is ripe, says the N.
E. Homestead. Wrapper quality is Sc
lected when the plant is somewhat un-
derripe, to preserve the elasticity and
obtain light colors. The process of
ripening works from the bottom or
sand leaves upward At the time the
lower leaves have begun to change
color, to shrink and yellow, is believed
the proper time to commence the har-
vest. At this time the dark green of
sometimes a mottled condition The
feeling of the leaf becomes leathery
and thick. Growers often also test the
leaf by turning it up and If it cracks
and holds crease it is thought to be
ready to house. In comparatively re-
cent years picking the leaves, priming
as it is termed, has gained in popular
ity, although by far the greatest
amount of tobacco harvested in New
England is stalk cut. All plants are
not ready to harvest at the same time,
neither are all the leaves of single
plant ready to be picked at one time.
A plant that is topped low with only
eight or ten leaves will mature more
uniformly, of course, than one topped
high, where more leaves are left to
mature. All of the shaded tobacco is
primed.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Something seems to be the matter
with the growing tobacco crop, that 5
certain, for with the exception OF few
localities the fields are not as promls-
ing as the weather conditions would
seem to warrant. Just what the rea-
sons are may not be fully explained.
One thing, rain is needed in most OF
the growing sections, but it cannot be
the absence of moisture that is entirely
to blame for the stunted growth seen
on many fields. 1t is quite probable
that the heavy rainfall in June, during
and Immediately following the plant
ing, induced considerable root rot that
has proven serious handicap. At any
event the fields which to all appear
ances had fine start have been stead
lily showing an unevenness the past few
weeks with tendency to spindle dur
the hot, dry July. Were we to be fav-
ored with good soaking rains within a
few days there is plenty of opportunity
for the late planted fields to yet make
a normal sized crop, but under any cir
cumstances it begins to look as if there
would be plenty of short "B" tobacco
produced this year when the market IS
ready for an almost unlimited amount
of binder leaf.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1914-08-07

The case of the Wisconsin tobacco
crop is not a hopeless one by any
means. We have known conditions to
look vastly worse at this time of year
and still nearly an average crop har-
vested. Much, however, will depend
on the weather conditions of the COM
ing two weeks. Tobacco is such re-
operative plant that few setbacks
do not produce the unsatisfactory re-
suits as many other crops grown on
the farm. Many time have we wit
messed some lightning changes in a
very few days after drouth had seem
ingly put discouraging outlook on the
prospects of harvest.
