ACREAGE OF CIGAR LEAF CROPS.
ESTIMATED YIELD OF CIGAR LEAF CROP.
FIN rOund thousands and tenthS of thousands
Totals. 1926 53S 1913 5s3.2 6ls


In anaIyzing the figures in yield per
acre it is shown that Pennsylvania and
New York are the only states where
the yield throughout will average more
than in the previous year. Ohio and
Wisconsin show lower yield. The
acreage statistics show that New Eng
land is the only section in which the
acreage has been increased IN 1915,
while Ohio shows the biggest reduction
with approximately 5 per cent, or $500
acres. The New York acreage was re-
duced some 500 acres, which in the
comparatively small total in that state
constitutes about 20 per cent. Among
the larger sections Wisconsin has had
the worst experience. The cold, wet
spring greatly delayed the transplant
ing OF the plants and prevented their
development when once in the field.
The ground was kept so wet that culti-
vation was frequently impossible when
most needed. When finally growers
admitted that warm, dry, late season
was their only hope this was denied to
them and hail and severe frosts made
their appearance through wide sections
before the harvest had been started.
Pennsylvania growers were also him
dered at the outset with cold, rainy
weather. Many plants grew in the
beds until they were too large for best
results in transplanting. When wealth
er conditions would admit of trans
planting, however, in most sections of
the state the plants came along fairly
we'll and the plentiful moisture was ac-
conlpanied by enough warm weather to
bring along the crop satisfactorily. In
Ohio the acreage has tended to fuctu
ate greatly of late years, with gen
eral tendency toward reduction and this
years acreage is about the same as in
1913. Cold, rainy weather resulted IN
very uneven develoment of the fields
and the average acreage yield this year
is some so pounds less than last year.
New England has had perhaps the most
peculiar season of all the leaf growing
sections. In the lower part of the Con-
necticut valley growers have phenon-
inally good crops and many of the
growers throughout the central and
northern sections have the same. In
general, however, there are more me-
diocre crops the farther north you go.

LANCASTER, PA, Sept. 13, l

LANCASTER, PA, Sept. IL, 1915.
The appearance of rust in the new
tobacco crop of Lancaster county is
causing great uneasiness among the
growers. The local packers are dis
turbed, too, because it means that a
great deal of tobacco will be housed
green. Many growers have already
begun cutting, some because of the ap-
pearance of rust in their fields, and
others because of their fears of an
early frost, presaged, they believe, by
the cold weather we have had already.
The present unfortunate and very un-
satisfactory condition of affairs is
largely due to the long continued rains,
with few warm nights and very little
sunshine.
The long period of rainy weather has
in measure spoiled one of the best
crops promised for Lancaster county
for some years, for no amount of fav-
orable weather could now undo the
damage already done. The leaves will
be narrow and thin. If the crop was
left standing until thoroughly ripe it
could still have some chance for some
Improvement, but, as stated before,
much will be shielded green.
The packers, through local papers
o1d by personal appeals, have asked
ne growers to show some nerve and
not give the crop of the county another
black eye by housing immature crops.
Up to the present time there have been
but few crops bought, and these only
of Havana Seed, and none has been
bought on the field. Nor will any be
bought, for the tobacco is too uncer-
tain for any chances of this kink. Past
experience has taught the buyers eau
tion, as buying on the field in past
years bred such crop Of lawsuits as
to give the packers the horrors Such
policy don't appeal to the growers
any more, though the excuse of the
local dealers at the time was that they
were forced to the policy by the big
outside concerns, always hugaboo to
the locals. There is too much old to-
bacco in the market now to warrant
ANYBODY buying on the field.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, WIS, Sept. "A, 1915.
The tobacco growers are still busily
engaged in harvesting what there is of
the crop that has escaped the many
misfortunes of most disastrous sea-
son. In localities some very fair leaf
is being secured if late fall will per-
NIT of a satisfactory curing, and even
a good deal of salvage may yet be OBJ
tanned in the hailed districts where the
storm was not too severe. Another
week of good weather is yet needed be-
fore the harvest is finished and possi-
bly, there will be some fields standing
on October 1st, which is an extremely
late date in this state.
A little buying of the better crops in
the Vernon county section is reported,
as we'll as the more extensive purchase
in the hailed districts at stemming
prices.
Some movement in cured leaf is be-
ing recorded. A representative of an
Ohio firm has closed deals for more
than 1000cs of ID ''B" goods from local
packers of late. Dealers are receiving
some inquiries for binder leaf that may
lead to considerable business later.
Sampling of the IA packings which
is now under way is attended with quite
satisfactory results. Less damage is
encountered than for some years past,
though the tobacco is hardly dried off
enough for present consumption.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 300 cases from this market to all
points since last report.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Sept. IA, 1915.
The Connecticut valley tobacco har-
vest is nearing the end, and late tobac-
co is going under cover in better condi-
tion than much of the early-cut crop.
It is probable too that in the case of
shaded tobacco, and also primed sun
grown leaf, late primings will prove
the best. Decided Improvement has
taken place in the new crop since Sep
tember l, but the advantage gained
will fall far short of offsetting hail
damage, yellow leaves and light weight.
The best that can be said is that the
present outlook is for rather more good
tobacco than seemed likely early in
Anything like normal yield
is out of the question.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

This has been the big week of the
tobacco harvest when every grower is
working early and late to secure the
crop before frost overtakes it, realiz-
ing they are working on borrowed time.
The sudden drop of temperature earlier
in the week, when frost warnings were
issued, caused the slashing down of
considerable acreage and hustle that
does not favor careful handling. Had
the crop been two or three weeks earl
ier much of it wonld have escaped the
late hail storms as we'll as standing a
good chance of curing out in the sheds.
The question now is whether tobacco
harvested so late in September can be
properly cured before the first heavy
freeze that penetrates the shed. Ger
tainly only favorable weather condi-
tions will bring it through.
The oldest packer can hardly recall a
year in which bad crop conditions were
so general, says the N. Y. Leaf. Crop
failures there have been from time to
time in certain districts or states, but
never have weather conditions been so
poor in all six cigar-leaf growing states
at the same time. While holders of
old tobacco might possibly be suspected
of viewing the situation not unfavor-
ably, as it undoubtedly will give their
holdings of old stock additional value,
or at least facilitate it's disposal, never
theless the crop failure is not good
thing for the trade at large. But for
veal or woe, the fact remains that in
no cigar-leaf growing state has the
growing or harvesting season been nor-
NAL. Just what the percentage of loss
or deterioration may be it is impossible
at this time to say. But the crop will
require circumspection in buying, han
ding and selling; and if it gives the
satisfaction to the manufacturer that
normal crop does it will be flying in the
face of precedent.
Che total yield of cigar leaf tobacco
in this country this year, according to
figures deduced from the reports of the
New England Homestead correspond
ents, approximates 168, 800, 900 pounds,
some 18 million pounds less than the
crop of last year and about three mil
lion pounds less than the crop of two
years ago. This is the smallest total
yield since 1907, when our correspond
ents' figures showed the total to be 166
milff0ii pounds. The season has been
very uncertain from the outset, as
noted in our special crop reports from
week to week, with conditions of tenn
perature and moisture that were al
ways affording the growers food for
thought. The season is peculiar also
in that with these conditions varying
so widely some growers have harvested
the largest and best crops ever, while
neighbors have had the opposite re-
suits.

NEW YORK, Sept Is, 1915.
The intoleraby torrid wave that has
been sweeping the country for the past
two weeks has not tended to accelerate
the movements in our leaf market.
And yet a fair business is being re-
ported in almost every available type.
The Connecticut broadleaf that was
not all absorbed by the recent crowd of
out-of- town buyers is gradually moving
to smaller manufacturers and into the
hands of those who are not too fastid-
ious about the perfection of the leaf as
long as it meets their price offer. But
more than fair was the trading in Ha-
vana leaf. The old stock, as was pre-
dicted some time ago in this place, has
come into daily greater demand. Work
ers of Havana leaf seem to have real
lied at last that the available new crop
will be neither in quantity nor quality
up to all their requirements j Journal.
