more ringing and specific resolutions
were adopted. With the m or al
forces of the state lining up in active

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May II, 1915.
More than 200 new tobacco sheds
have been or are being built in the ter
ritory around East Hartford, that fine
tobacco growing region Of the Valley.
In other portions of the state, prepara-
tions among the growers for record
breaking 1915 crop are evident upon
the same. extensive scale. The build
ing of new barns is occupying much of
the farmers time, as is the purchasing
of new shade cloth, for seed beds are
laid out and the grower has little culti-
waiting work to do from now until
transplanting time. The warehouse
season is drawing to close. and labor
is being diverted into the industrial
centers as we'll as into farming regions
where other crops are demanding at
tention. The extraordinary increase in
the cultivation of Shadegrown tobacco,
outlined recently, stands forth as the
biggest feature of the early season.

LANCASTER, Pa, May II, 1915.

LANCASTER, PA, May IL, 1915.
The recent dry spell has been great
disappointment to the growers of this
section, as it has seriously delayed the
growth of the young plants. The lat
ter part of April had been so warm
that the seed beds fairly jumped along.
and it was almost certainty that the
planting this season would be the earli-
est done for years. 1t is not too late
yet for this hope to be realized, if only
weather conditions from this time for
ward are favorable. The crop would
then have ample growing time and
there would be no necessity for cutting
until the plants were thoroughly ma
tured. The seed beds have not been so
far raided by snails or insect pests and
all the plants have to do is grow.
Our packers would like to see the
growers get back to the general use of
barnyard fertilizer, or, if there is
shortage of it, then, to buy the right
kind of commercial fertilizer. Of course
if the local packers had their way the
growers wouldn't raise any tobacco at
all for season, giving the packers
chance to work off their old goods.
The 1915 crop, SO far as the number
of acres planted is concerned, will be
very little less, If any, than the 1914
planting. All the talk of growers who
were sore because they got small prices
for their tobacco was vapor, and by
this time most of them have concluded
that they got about what their crops
were worth.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, May 81, 1915.

EDGERTON, WIS, May q, 1915.
Only at rare intervals is there any
trading from first hands in the rem
nants of the 1914 tobacco crop now be-
ing conducted. An occasional lot of
the earlier purchases, weighed up and
stored in the country, is still coming to
the receiving points and with the draw
ing to a close of the warehouse work
there is little to report of interest in
the local markets. There is a few
weeks work of packing yet to be done
at few of the warehouses before the
season is entirely finished, but soon
most of the labor will be turned toward
stemming.
There is absolutely no news in the
cured leaf markets that would lend any
encouragement to holders of these
goods.
A cold, rainy week of unreasonable
weather has served to retard the
growth Of the plant beds while quite
severe frosts in some localities may
have done damage where the beds were
not properly protected, but the exact
situation is not yet determined.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 600 csses and cars of bundles
from this market to all points for the
week. Ten cars have been received
from outside points for warehouse ham
ding since last report.

Money
Value

Every one who has gained
the first few hundred dol
lars has gained more than
the money. He has learn
ed the value of money and
has cultivated habits of
thrift and economy, which
are more valuable to him
than the money itself.
Think it over from your
own standpoint, and you
will be doing an act of
kindness if you can start
some young man or woman
on the road to prosperity.

According to report submitted to
the president by the bureau of corpor-
ations, the decree of the supreme court
dissOlving the tobacco trust "has re-
suited in the successor companies com
peting with each other for business in
most branches of the industry, but has
not affected wholesale or retail prices.
The report treats of prices, costs and
profits of the former American Tobacco
Co.; of the seven companies among
which the court in 1911 apportioned the
business of the combination and of the
principal other tobacco companies in no
way related to the combination. Joseph
E. Davies, ex-commissioner of corpora
tions, who signs the report and who is
now chairman of the federal trade COM
mission, submits the following conclu-
sions:
The combine was actually and un-
questionably split up into several Sec
tions.
These separate sections engaged, and
are continuing to engage in severe
competition with one another.
This competition has reduced the
proportionate profits of each of the
successor companies.
Unfortunately the severe competition
between the segments of the old COM
bine has necessitated more extreme
competitive methods on the part Of the
smaller concerns.
AS a result of which the smaller con-
Germs have not succeeded in increasing
their proportionate profits.
And finally, that the chief BENEFICIARY
from the dissolution of the combine is
the advertising business.
Those who believed that in the sim
pie dissolution of the tobacco combine
the vast profits of that corporation
would be divided up among the smaller
manufacturers throughout the country
will find the commissioner report dis
appointing. On the other hand, those
who expected only that the dissolution
would result in wider and more open
competition will find their expectations
realized-in part, at least.

NEW YORK, May Is, 1915.

NEW ORK, May 10, 1919.
The leaf market was somewhat slack
this week, may be owing to the absence
of so manv prominent leaf men at the
National Cigar Leaf Tobacco associa-
tion's convention at Dayton. It is any,
how now an off season. A more than
normal activity prevailed only in the
Sumatra line. The new importations,
particularly of the better grades and
fancy lots, seem to have found favor
with the cigar manufacturers, in spite
of the high prices and the market has
become ready for the importations from
the later inscriptions.
While midsummer may be dull
season in some cigar manufacturing
circles, early summer, so far as 1915 is
concerned, is proving very busy sea-
son for practically the entire cigar
industry. The cigar manufacturer,
whether producing clear Havana, Seed
and Havana or Seedleaf cigars, is now
getting considerably more of an inning
than he has had for months some say,
since January, 1915, and others say for
the past year or so.-Journal.

BALDwINsvILLE, N. Y, May IL, 1915.
Fine weather during the past week
has aided New York tobacco growers
with their seed beds and it is not
thought that anything now stands in
the way of an early transplanting. The
amount of moisture being supplied the
young plants is just sufficient and the
chances are that no very bad weather
will develoy during either May or June.
Business in supplies is brisk although
practically all the work of preparing
the fields for transplanting is well
under way. Cultivation of the finer
strains will undoubtedly be more pro-
nounced this season than ever before,
and creditabIe acreage with healthy
increase over that of 1914 is surely pre-
dicted.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


A cold May so far has had tendency
to promote slow growth of the tobac-
co beds, so it can scarcely be feared
now that the plants will be any too for
ward at the usual transplanting season.
Quite severe frosts, too, have covered
the northern growing sections during
the past week, but where the beds
have been amply protected, as is u.s.
ually the case in this locality, probably
but little damage has been done, though
ice was formed in many places. Since
the steaming of the beds has become
SO common a practice, the tendency
has been toward securing too forward
plants. and growers found they have
been crowded in the work OF preparing
the fields and sometimes lose portion
of their beds because of the plants get
ting too large for convenient machine
transplanting. 1t is hardly advisable
to start transplanting before June goth
in this latitude for there is ample time
for maturity of the crop if transplant
ing is finished by July 1st. There is
complaint in some quarters that the
plant beds have not been doing as we'll
as common this season owing to the
dry spell following the sowing of the
seed. But such results are due largely
because of some neglect of the grower
in not properly giving the beds the at
tention deserved. The farmers who
keep their beds supplied with the nee
essary moisture have little cause to
complain of the present outlook.
*.*
Never in the history of the National
Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association was
there ever held a more successful con-
vention than that which closed Tuesday
at Dayton. 1t was the largest in point
of attendance ever held and it was also
the most important to the trade at
large when compared to previous con-
ventiOns of the association. ResOlu-
tions of the utmost Importance to the
trade were adopted and during the next
year the various committees in whose
hands has been placed the work of car
rying out the will. of the association as
expressed in the resolutions adopted
during the two days session, will have
accomplished the mission assigned them
and series Of forward steps will have
been taken for the trade generally.
Among the more important of the res
olutions adopted were those providing
that the association take an active part
in contesting the proposal Of the rail-
roads to change the classification on to.
bacco; opposing the amendment offered
by Senator Cummings to the Interstate
Commerce Act providing for ten per
cent increase ON account of indemnity
insurance and seeking it's repeal; pro-
viding for permanent representative
of the association at Washington to
keep the association informed of mat
ters of legislation, etc., affecting the
trade; protesting against the present
war-revenue schedule of taxes on the
cigar manufacturing industry on the
ground that it is not equitable; pro-
testing against and seeking the aboli-
ton of the war tax of so cents now
levied on withdrawal entries; refusing
to join the Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association in their campaign against
prohibition and pledging greater CO.
operation between the packer and the
jObber. u. S. Tobacco Journal.

KENTUCKY'S OPPORTUNITY
TO MAKE GREAT WEALTH

Speaking Wednesday at the annu-
al meeting of the Kentucky Good
Roads Association, at the State Fair.
Mr.. Stanley recalled some truths
that the people of Kentucky need
bear in mind. He said:
mo other State in this Union has
such variety and wealth of unde-
veloped resources; more coal than
Pennsylvania, more hardwood than
any otherCommonwealth between the
Mississippi and the Pacific. and more
acres OF fertile soil than any other
State of like area between the two
oceans. Our soil produces a greater
variety of products than any other
on this earth. Why is it that the
wealth of the mountain and the
wealth of the plain are not develop
ed? 1t is because the people of the
mountains cannot reach the wealth
of the plains, and the people of the
plains cannot avail themselves of the
wealth of the mountains, because of
the cost of getting from one to the
other. This is eliminated by con-
meeting the fertility of the soil and
the richness of the mines and the
vast wealth of the forest

Glasgow, Kentucky, Last
Monday. Nt

Glasgow, KY, Sept. z0.-Amfd the
plaudits of thousands OF enthusiastic
Democrats. with every nominee on
the State ticket participating and all
speakers expounding the party doc
trines. the Democratic State cam
paign was formally launched at Glas-
gov to-day.
Candidates and party leaders gath
ed here for the occasion united in
declaring that the inaugural meeting
was on of the most suspicious and
successful ever staged in Kentucky.
and the concensus is that IL presages
sweeping victory for the party in
November.
The opening. which took the form
of an old-fashioned barbecue and
burgoo, was held on the Barren
county fair grounds and nothing oc-
Cured to mar the big event, even
the rain, which fell in torrents short
Up after 8 O'Clock, coming after the
exercises had been concluded and
Mr.. Stanley had finished his keynote
speech. The attendance was esti-
mated at from 10000 to $4,000.
Persons came from Barren and sur
rounding counties in autos. buggies,
farm wagons, on horseback and on
foot. Most of them wore badges
surmounted by the rooster and in
scribed Get Together Let's Every
body Vote for Stanley and the Tick
| ct. - &
They showed, too. that they were
in sympathy with the sentiment, and
the way they cheered the speakers
indicated Enthusiastically, the leaders
assert, the trend to Democracy in the
pending fight for control of the
State. A noteworthy feature was
the parade which preceded the exer-
cises. Its formation included fifty
autos and scores of other vehicles,
county delegations on horseback and
three brass bands. Each nominee
on the State ticket occupied an auto
and his name was emblazoned on the
front of the machine.
From a stand in the center ring
the speakers addressed the crowd,
which taxed the capacity of the
amphitheater and all available stand
ing room. Judge w. Logan Porter,
of Glasgow, presided as master of
ceremonies and introduced Congress-
man R. Y. Thomas. Jr., of Central
City, who represents the Third dis
trict in the National House, and who
was the first speaker. He was fol-
lowed by Judge James d. Black. of
Barbourville, the nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor. Judge Black was
presented by Virgil Baird, of Glas-
gov.
Mr.. Stanley, the nominee for Gov
ernor. delivered his address after the
barbecue and burgoo feast had been
served. He was introduced by c. u.
McElroy. of Bowling Green. Mr..
Stanley prefaced his set speech with
a grateful acknowledgement of his
Indebtedness to the Democracy of
Kentucky and the honor paid him by
such an outpouring of the people.
