ment's figures:

Total imports of Sumatra tobacco in
to the Netherlands in 1918 amounted to
282, 925 packages, according to Vice
Consul C. H. Krough's report. Rotter-
dam, Holland, is one of the large auc-
tion marts for this tobacco. The pro-
ceeds from the sale of 282, 925 packages
average 55c p ! kilo Q.1 lbs.). The
first sales brought an average of CSC,
while the II spring sales brought only
66c, and the four sales made in the fall

ally in the spring sales of the best to-
bacco offered, but became more re-
served as quotations dropped. Reports
of the 1918 crop, which is to be mar
keted in 1914, vary considerably; this
crop is estimated at 256, 600 packages.

Reports are to the effect that tobac-
co plant beds are being preyed upon
by flea beetles, cutwOrms and grub
worms, and that considerable damage
is being done to the tobacco plant beds
in Kentucky. The complaint is SO gen.
eral that it caused an investigation to
be made by the experiment station of
Kentucky State University, and the re-
suit of their investigation of the mat
ter and the treatment of the tobacco
plant beds is told in the following bull
letin: Complaints are reaching the
station of injuries by cutworms and
flea beetles to tobacco beds. These
pests can be controlled very largely by
care, first, in preparing the beds, sec
ondly, in keeping them covered and
destroying the weeds and grass about
them, and finally, when worst comes to
worse, by spraying the young plants
with arsenate of lead or Paris green.
The cutworms are the young of several
species of night flying moth, and have
shent the winter in grasses or weeds
about the beds. The burning of the
beds destroys those within the area
burned over, but the others lurk among
any vegetation that may be left imme-
diately about the frames. A bare strip
of five feet or more should therefore
be left outside the beds, and if muslin
covers must be removed this strip and
wooden frames can be treated with
creosote, the odor of which will afford
some protection from worms disposed
to travel across the bare area. If
gnawing insects have been allowed to
get in the beds, the only thing to do is
to spray with arsenate of lead, three
pounds in fifty gallons Of water with
about pound Of slake lime to prevent
burning. The arsenate of lead in the
proportion recommended does no harm
at all to the plants and requires no
lime. The above treatment is to be
recommended also for the small brown
flea beetles which sometimes infest the
beds and gnaw numerous round holes
in the leaves.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

In order to hasten the growth of the
plants in the seed beds, as we'll as in
ducing plant food as part nourishment,
many growers fertilize with various
manure salts or spray them with So
luton of nitrate Of soda. Immediately
after application it is thoroughly wash
ed off the plants and into the soil, for
otherwise the tender plants would be
burned. This process is carried out
three or four times from the time the
plants are an inch high to the time of
pulling. To water beds correctly is of
the utmost Importance. The object is
to induce capillary movement of soil
moisture, prevent packing on the seed
or around the growing plantlet. The
beds should be watered daily and kept
up until the plants are large enough to
be pulled. After the beds have been
watered, every other sash is left raised
so as to prevent damp-of and other
fungus entering the beds. Then, too,
raising the sash hardens the plants and
accustoms them to spring air.

Stocks of cigar leaf tobacco in the
hands of dealers and manufacturers on
April /, 1914, according to the census
department, were smaller than on a
like date a year earlier, there being a
difference of 5O,O00,00O pounds. The
discrepancy is most noticeable in the
amount of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wis
consin tobacco held by other than grow
ers. In New England alone is there
any increase shown, while Wisconsin
dealers report IS, 739, 900 pounds in store
as against SO, 1853, 600 pounds April l,
year ago. We have never felt these
statistics were of any particular value
because they do not separate the diff
ferent grades of binder, filler and stem
ming stock, so there is but slight
guide to the trade of the amount of
each held. However, the figures show
about one and half full years growth
of Wisconsin leaf on hand. With the
cigar leaf crop Of New England, New
York, Wisconsin, Florida and Georgia
practically out Of farmers hands, even
to an unusual extent, it is gratifying to
see that the stocks in the hands Of
dealers and manufacturers are even
Smaller than year ago. Thus the
market is statistically strong and the
crop which is about to be put into the
field should be taken readily at good
prices next fall Here are the govern
ment's figures:
