LANCASTER, PA, May 26, 1915.


The temperature went down so low
one night last week that there was a
light frost in the southern part of the
county. Fortunately there were so few
crops planted that no special damage
was done But it has had the effect of
delaying planting. A great many grow
ers have their plants ready for setting
out in the field, but they will not take
chances with the weather so uncertain.
The growers will be fortunate if they
get their plants out in the field any
time before the early part of June.
The packers say that if growers
would take their advice, raise less to-
becco, but work it better and put good
stable manure on it, there would be no
five and six cent tobacco. When they
do this the Lancaster county tobacco
will get back its old-tlme reputation,
and with increased demand for better
tobacco will come better prices.
The packers are of the opinion that
the growers have no reason to complain
about the prices received for the 1914
crop. Excellent the crop was when
first shielded, but the curing went on
under distressingly unfavorable condi-
tions, and calico tobacco was the result
with regard to an immense number of
crops. 1t is worth noting right here,
that with practically all the tobacco
sold, not single report has been heard
of any trouble between buyers and
growers.
Some 1913 goods have been selling
recently, but this packing hung fire a
long time before beginning to sell, al
though plenty of inquiries were made
regarding it year ago.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May 26, 1915.
The heavy rains of the past few days
have lifted big load from the minds
of Connecticut valley tobacco growers.
Thousands of acres of tobacco land
were as dry as flour and the dust blew
in clouds whenever there was stiff
breeze. Many growers had plants of a
sufficient size to set out but wisely de-
cided to hold off in the hope that rain
would freshen the soil. From now on
every minute will be made the most of.
At this writing probably less than 10
per cent of the New England crop has
been set out. The rain already re-
ferred to has put the soil in splendid
condition and plants set out at this
time will have an advantageous start.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

An unseasonably cold, wet May which
has prevented farmers from complet-
ing their corn planting within the usual
prescribed time, may also serve to de-
lay the transplanting of the tobacco
crop this year. The farmers have been
unable to do much towards preparing
the ground for either of these crops
for nearly the last half of May and the
low temperatures prevailing during the
wet spell seemed to preclude much
growth on the plant beds. AS COM
plants are nowhere near as forward,
while in some localities there is consid-
cradle complaint about a poor stand
with prospect of considerable short
age at transplanting time. However.
a few days of the right kind OF wealth
er conditions the plant beds are known
to make up for good many defects.
Many growers have plants in prospect
for all their probable needs and some
to spare. What is most needed now is.
warm weather and plenty Of it for the
next two weeks and then the trans
planting of the crop might proceed
within the usual dates for getting it
into the field in this state. There is
plenty of time yet under favorable
weather conditions to see tobacco plant
ing follow pretty closely after corn is
planted this year.

The sale of cigarettes in Wisconsin
will be considerably increased through
the new law, which became effective
on Saturday by official publication. The
law, however, will not become opera
tive until July 1, from which date the
licenses, which are to cost SIS, will be
issued. Through the new law the sale
of cigarettes by all dealers holding
licenses is authorized, but no sale is
permitted to minors. If a dealer is
convicted twice of selling to minors his
license becomes automatically revoked.
Many more dealers will now handle
cigarettes, now that the sale has been
legalized. Scores of dealers discontin-
ued the sale of cigarettes through fear
of prosecution. The price will not
change. Violations of the new law are
punishable on the first offense by fine
of not less than S25 or more than 500,
and on the second offense by fine of
not less than $25 or more than $500. A
prison sentence of not more than sixty
days may also be imposed.

The question of field buying Of to-
bacco came up for quite general dis
cussion in the annual convention of the
National Cigar Leaf Tobacco associa-
tion at Dayton recently. A New
England delegate declared that one of
the chief bugbears of the business is
the custom of buying green tobacco be-
fore it has sufficiently matured to show
what its quality might be when it was
ready for the manufacturer. The sit
uation which he described does not vary
much from what we have experienced
in this state several years, when he
says:
In the month of July the packers get
out and buy green tobacco in the field
at from 18 to % cents in the bundle.
Then comes the month of August with
it's wind and hail, followed by Septem-
Der with its frost, cold sweat and pos
sibly white veins. And when the day
of delivery comes and we find that our
July purchases contain any of the
above mentioned defects, we have to
get down on our knees and cry baby in
order to get deduction. Some, how
ever, are stubborn enough to tell you
that you have bought something IN
legal way, having paid money down,
and they will concede nothing. In such
cases you have to cough up or pay
friendly visit to the court. Now the
only way to remedy this evil is to put
off your purchasing until the crop is
cured, at which period one can intelh
gently Judge the merits and value of
crop. Then you can satisfy yourself
on the burn, texture, size and color,
which cannot possibly be done in July.
This matter can be easily accomplished
if the packers belonging to this asso-
citation will pledge themselves to abide
by the resolution that is before you.
Possibly pledge of such a nature
would not be sanctioned by the Inter
state Commerce Commission as doing
business in restraint of trade. But |
feel that the United States government
stands for what is only honorable and
Just and would choose the lesser of two
evils; for at present we are gamblers
of the worst sort. A man who plays
the Street has better proposition than
we~have, for he can tell any business
day between 10 and 3 whether he is
winner or a loser, while we have to
wait whole year to find out where we
are at.
The convention was apparently quite
unanimous in opposition to the practice
of field buying and a resolution to that
effect was passed. The main question
is, will the trade generally abide by it?
One of the frailties of the tobacco buy
er is that he will take great chances in
a gamble, we'll knowing the risks he is
assuming.

Interest in Campaign.
The campaign already has de-
neloped unusual interest. The
progressives claim they will offer
the democrats formidable opposi-
ton for the governorship. John
M, PARKER, progressive leader in
the state and close friend of Col
onel Roosevelt. has announced
himself as a candidate.
Democratic aspirants for the
gubernatorial nomination are R.
G. Pleasant, attorney general; T.
G. Barret. lieutenant governor,
and DR.. Clarence Peirson, super
tendent of the state hospitals.
Prohibition and woman suffrage
are expected to play an important
part both in the primary and gen.
eral election.
Mr.. Pleasant has stated publicly
he is for the present system of the
parish as the local option unit on
the liquor question, but that he
always has voted against liquor
when the question has arisen in
his home community"
DR.. Pierson has declared he
favors the present local option
law, but if the legislature should
enlarge the unit to the congress
sional district he would approve
the bill.
Mr.. Barret has come out for the
congressional district as the unit
and has advocated submission Of
statewide prohibition to the peo-
pie.
In his platform Mr.. Parker de-
clared against prohibition and for
the present located option law.

The Greenville, S. c., Piedmont
calls attention to a shameful con-
dition we have often denounced
namely, that it is the big estates
that get off with low assessments
while small properties are as
sessed at much more nearly their
full value. It says:
A $500 cottage never gets on
the books at $25-5 per cent Of
its value-but 100000 piece of
business property may be re-
turned at $4,000.
What is the remedy but public
ity? Why not assess land and i'm
provements separately and then
publish in a county paper the
number of acres in towns, the size
OF the lot and assessed value per
each tract and the assessed value
per acre-or a front foot.-The

HERBERT RENON DISCUSSES
THE ART OF DIRECTION.

Did you ever stop to consider as
you watched a picture being
smoothly reeled off upon the
screen before you, with all its life,
action and exciting incident, that
behind it all, back Of the whole
thing, was single human brain,
watchful, alert, keen and active,
directing and forseeing every
move and making the whole pic
ture the living, breathing thing
that makes you hold on to the
arms of your chair in the thrilling
scenes and shout with merriment
at the comedy effects? 1t matters
not how great star may be, how
much money has been lavished
on the production if the director
ship is at fault the public is cheat
ed of it's pleasure and the produe-
ing company robbed Of thousands
Of dollars. For that reason there
fore it is interesting to hear the
words of Hilbert Brenon, who pro-
duced for William Fox, thee great
Theda Bara, picture SIN, and who
has to his credit such other Will
liam Fox successes as Kruetzer
Sonata, The Clemenceau Case,
etc. Speaking Of his work in pro-
ducing SIN which will be seen
ath the Elks Theatre on Tuesday,
October 18th, Mr.. Brenon said:
"The prime essential for good
direction is sincerity and power to
impress others with ones own
ideas. That is to say that a pic
ture should reflect the directors
brain and eeffort and be truly his
product; although, of course, the
personality Of his artists enter
largely into the matter. A good
director is ever patient and I'M
faltering1y calm under all condi-
tons. If he gets evcited his agi-
tation is Immediately reflected by
the people working under him,
for almost all good actor and
actresses are easily affected by
outlying influences. 1t is for this
reason that the selection of set
ings is essential. Nobody who
has any dramatic ability at all,
can be at his or her best in sur
roundings which do not adequate
ly reflect the personality of the
character they may be portray
ing"

HEALTH COLUMN.

vegetables are eaten to a very
large extent by the poorer elias
ses. Bananas especially, because
of their slow process Of ripening
are apt to be eaten when only
half-ripe. This fruit, even when
thoroughly ripened, should be
| given to children with great eau
ton.
An insufficient breakfast is OF
altogether too great occurrence IN
the live of many school children.
It often consists merely of bak-
er's bread or buns, with tea, cot
fee or coca. This is absolutely
not enough for a growing child.
The drinking Of tea and coffee
is so widespread among adults
that the majority Of children now
indulge in this habit, which is for
them pernicious. DIR. Cornell, Of
Philadelphia, has determined as a
result of careful questioning Of
2,169 school children concerning
their morning meal, that So per
cent. of them drank coffee, and IL
per cent. drank tea. These bev-
erages are not only valueless. so
far as food values are concerned,
but the continuous ingestion of
the alkaloid (caffeine) contained
in them is decidedly injurious to
an immature nervous system. AL
though some children may show
no apparent trouble following
their use, when considering chill
dren as a whole we must abso-
lutely forbid them.
A chool child's breakfast should
have variety enough to properly
stimulate it's appetite. There
should always be sufficient pro-
ted to support the child until
its MONDAY meal. This will be
supplied bv eggs or fish. To this
might be added cereals, if well
cooked, and fruits of different
kinds. Homemade bread. when
well baked, is always superior to
the lighter commercial bakers
