NEW YORK, March 20, 1915.

Affairs in the market seem to run
quite smoothly, apparently unaffected
by the decrease in our cigar output and
the continued depression Of business in
general. The demand for certain types
of leaf is reported to be healthy and
even above normal for this season of
the year. The brisk movement that
set in some time ago in our Havana
market continues unabated and de-
pleted stocks are being promptly sup
planted by new importations. In Cuba
the leaf market is also reported above
the average. In our domestic types
filters have good call and the shade
grown type finds steady customers.
Evidently encouraged by this situation
our leaf packers are busy in the coun-
try districts to gather in the new crops.
The buying has been particularly lively
in the New England districts. AS for
the Surnatra the market is anxiously
awaiting the outcome Of the first in
scription.

propositions of the railroads to mulct it

With the granting of the general in
crease of five per cent in their freight

fed and manage their affairs with the
view to propitiate a generous public
and not stimulate resentment again
against themselves. In the meantime
the trades propaganda to hold down
the railroads extravagant demands
should continue undated. IN. Y. To-

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES
A SIMPLE TERMINATING TEST.

1t is important to know the germina-
tion of your tobacco seed in order to
avoid the evil of sowing the bed too
thickly and to be positive that the seed
is free from weak seed. How many
tobacco growers know how to make a
termination test? The Wisconsin Ex-
pertinent Station recommends very
simple home method Of testing that
anyone can use and gain accurate re-
suits. All that is necessary is two pie
tins, a blotter and the seed. Place the
moistened, not too wet, blotter on one
of the tins and scatter a small sample,
about 100 seeds, over it. Take the
other tin, invert it over this first one,
and set the tins in place at room tenn
perature Wet the blotter occasion
ally so as not to allow the seeds to dry
out and termination will take place in
five to ten days It is we'll to start two
or three such tests at the same time IN
order to have a check on the results.
When all the seeds have had chance
to germinate, count the number that
have started, then the number that
have not, and the percentage is very
easily computed. Estimate the number
terminated and not terminated, add
these together, divide the number ger
minated by the sum, and multiply by
100. The result will be the per cent Of
termination. Tobacco seed rarely ger
inmates over Is per cent as it is taken
from the field, and more commonly lies
between so and 60 per cent. Seed
which has terminating capacity be-
low this should not be used as it u.s.
ually contains a large percentage of
weak seeds. If the seed terminates
about 80 per cent make one ounce of
seed cover five or six rods of bed six
feet wide. If the seed terminates at
higher or lower per cent, sow proper
tionately more or less.

Editor Reporter:

Editor Reporter:
Much has been said and written about
the cost of production of tobacco that
l know from experience is misleading
both to dealer and grower, and | can
not refrain from making few remarks
and statement on the subject.
1t is true that the growers are COM
planning that, the price of tobacco, has
reached point in this state below the
cost of production, at least so far as
this last years crop is concerned.
It is also true that at times the deal
ers have bought in this state tobacco
at price that lost them money. The
average price paid for the last ten
years or more is not SO bad, and |
think if the price never went too high
above the cost of production it would
curtail the acreage and by so doing it
would create a demand and price that
would be remunerative to the growers.
| will not take up more space in dis
cussing this matter at this time, but
will submit the following statement Of
the cost of raising one acre of tobacco:

WAL TER MUST REPAIR
FRONT. ,TOO-LYNCH
Commissioner and Contractor Con-
fer on Problem Raised by Move
ment of Motor Trucks

Any damage that may have been
caused to the paved streets of the
city by the movement OF the heavy
motor trucks of the Brown-King Con-
struction company in hauling earth for
filling" in the river front slopes, will
have to be repaired by Alderman
Charles p. Walter. the street repair
contractor. the same as any other
holes or cuts that would require the
repair contractors attention.
City Commissioner William H.
Lynch made that emphatic statement
to-day following a conference with
Alderman Walter on the subject of the
depressions on North Front street
near the pumping station.
The alderman said he does not think
1t is within his province to make these
repairs as the concrete base for the
highway put down ten years ago, was
never intended to bear such heavy
trucks. Commissioner Lynch declared
that the contract was a contract
with the city to haul the fir and that
nothing was stipulated about the con-
dition of the streets and that nothing
needed to be. The movement of the
trucks was a part of the wear and
tear of the traffic on the city streets
he added. and the city had contracted
with Alderman Walter to repair such
sections of streets wherever it might
be necessary.
"Of course the alderman will have
to make these repairs along with the
other parts of streets that require his
attention and ii will all be included
in his Spring job of putting the streets
in proper shape before he is released
from his five-year contract" said Mr.
LynCh.

PARTY PLACE BILL IS
PASSED BY SENATE
McNichol Measure Goes to House;
Peculiar Position Of the
NOnpartisan Bill

The election bill introduced by Sem
ator McNichol. Philadelphia. which
provides for the arranging of party
names on a ballot according to the
vote cast at the last general election,
was passed finally by the Senate to-
day and sent to the House.
Under the present law the ballot is
arranged according to the vote cast
at the last presidential election, when
the Democratic party polled the larg
est number of votes and was given the
first place on the ballot. At the last
general election, November. 1914, the
Republican party polled the largest
vote and under the bill passed to-day
that party would have first place on
the ballot.
The bill repeating the act providing
for the nonpartisan election of all
judges and all officers in second class
cities. which was negatived yesterday
by the elections committee, is in a
curious position. At the hearing on
the bill yesterday Senator Magee,
Pittsburgh, who, by the way. is not a
member of the elections committee,
moved that the bill be negatived. The
motion was adopted and it developed
later that the bill, instead of having
been recommitted to committee before
the hearing began yesterday. was left
on the third reading calendar.
Thus the committee had negatived a
bill which it did not have in its pos
session. When the nonpartisan bill
was reached on the third reading cal
endar to-day it was placed on the post
poned calendar where 1t will remain
for time. 1t is understood that there
will be a conference next week on the
bill TO decide what final disposition
shall be made of 1t.

sented a bill in the Senate day pro-
