Don't purchase the lowest priced
seed. In nine cases out of ten the
highest priced seed is by far the
cheapest. The seed doesn't cost much,
after all, in proportion to the labor put

Officials of the Internal Revenue De-
partment have decided to issue special
tax stamps for tobacco manufacturers
under the new revenue law, instead OF
collecting the special taxes from the
members of the manufacturing trade
by the assessment plan. Accordingly
there will be printed a special tax
stamp for each of the specific annual
rates of special tax prescribed by the
new law.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Nov. 4, 1916.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Nov. 4, 1916.
Mild weather with frequent casing
spells continue, which is especially
favorable for the curing of the tobacco
crop, as it promotes the evening of the
colors and finishes the drying out of the
stems. Just a little of the new crop
that was harvested early has been re-
moved from the curing sheds and
stripped, but this work ought not to
become general while there is danger
of warm temperature that would start
heating of the bundles. Most dealers
think it would be safer to wait at least
another month before stripping. Only
now and then are sales of the new crop
from first hands reported.
The market for old leaf is still con-
fined to small order trading as necessi-
ties of manufacturers require and no
transactions of Importance have come
to notice.
The shipments out of storage reach
450cs and cars of bundles~from this
market to all points since last report.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Sept. 25, 1916.
Rumors are rife concerning the 1916
Shadegrown crop. Contradictory opin-
inions have been the rule for some
time past, until it has become ques-
tion of putting them all in a hat and
drawing at random in order to arrive
at any conclusion. A leaf expert, who
professed to know what he was talking
about, recently made some interesting
statements which he said would be
verified by subsequent developments.
He stated that the tobacco was har-
vested too early, and in an immature
condition. The consequence is that it
will be almost impossible to differen-
tiate between the various primings.
There is not much sorting being done,
in fact, it is all matter of guesswork
as to what color any of the tobacco will
cure. Buyers will have to take a
chance on getting light, medium, or
dark, as every bale looks the same
now, but is likely to change like a
chameleon later on, he pointed out.
History may disprove these assertions
but as present they stand as authorita-
tive, yet to be taken, perhaps, cum
granO sails.

Pennsylvania.


LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. "a, 1916.
A Lancaster packer fond Of figures
several days ago made an estimate as
to the amount of money the 1916 to-
bacco crop will put in the pockets OF
the farmers of Lancaster county. Bas-
ing his estimates on 10000 acres as the
crop, and with 400 pounds as the aver
age per acre, the number of pounds is
Approximately 5000, 900 pounds. Of
this about 24,000,000 pounds are wrap
pers and the rest, 4,OOO,O 900 pounds,
filters. The average price paid is a
trifle over Is cents, the fraction over
allowing for loss by hail and frost, and
this would place the price of the wrap
pers at So, 800, 900. With filters aver
aging cents pound this would add
5000, 200 to the receipts, making total
of So, 300, 900.
The feature of the local market just
now is prices, and strange as it may
seem the long despised 1909 is to the
front again. Other goods than the
1909 have gone up in price. John
Grosh, near Lancaster, lately sold 400
cases of 1905 for something like %
cents.
The new tobacco is curing nicely,
though now a damp spell is needed, and
the quicker it comes the better. Now
that the bulk of the crop has been con-
tracted for the packers want an early
delivery. 1t is desired to have it III the
warehouse at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and in many of the warehouses
the goods will be bulk-sweated, in or
der to gain time over the slower sys-
tenn of packing in cases for natural
sweat

New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. %, 1916

NEW DIRK, oct. rs, 1910.
Soaring prices are still the charac-
teristic features of the leaf situation.
Whether it is the stock on hand or the
crops just harvested the echo from all
parts of the country resOunds, up, up,
up! The farmer in the frost-bitten
Ohio districts has put five cents more
on his crop. The Pennsylvania farmer
is now holding out for seventeen cents
and the packer of this years Wiscon-
sin expects to realize thirty cents next
Fall. Even the price of cuttings is
soaring from week to week. Last week
they were quoted seventeen cents, this
week eighteen and one-half cents. With
such prices for raw leaf, is there the
slightest chance for any manufacturer
TO merchandise his product at the old
price? The situation of the wrapper
leaf is keeping pace with \these steady
advances. Notice has already been
given of the largely increased cost of
the new Shadegrown leaf, which means
the expectation of higher price. And
the increased demand for that type of
leaf is certain to enforce the higher
price. It will be the same thing with
the Sumatra. The shortage of this
years importation will make itself
sorely felt by the time the new inscrip-
tions arrive. This will likewise mean
a price advance. Nor does the Havana
market suffer in comparison. Old
stocks are being fast cleared out and
the higher prices for the new crop will
have to be met as the better times will
require better smoke of the old-fash-
ioned clear Havana cigar. And for
such smoke the better-situated con-
sumer will be willing to pay journal.

MELTING POT THAT
ABsORBs BELGIANs

London, Jan. j 3.-Most of the 200,-
600 Belgian refugees in England have
now been assimilated into English so
cia1 and Industrial life. About Co.
coo refugees formerly of, the we11-to-
do class are now maintained by hospi-
tality, as are also a residue who are
unable to look after themselves and
are consequently maintained by the
government in a, camp on one OF the
local exposition grounds. Work has
been found for practically all of the
Belgian workmen. who number about
$4,000 out of the 80 900 men refu-.
gees There are now in England no
Belgians who are 1T for military SER
vice except those exempted for war
work. Very few undesirables have
been found among the refugees and
thew were early taken in control

proposal was mao de to establish a sep

through, and Be1giansf work under
the same conditions as Eng1ishmen.
Three-f1fths of the refugees are wo-
men and children. and of these large
numbers are employed in factories
and as servants and tnursemaids.
Belgians now living as England's

THE LAST HOURS
BEFORE GOING TO PRESS

Any person serving a newspaper in
| any capacity usually is made to rea-
lie the need of getting copy into the
office on time. Occasional corre-
spondents. however, and the public
generally, do not see why their copy
should not be printed in full, even
though it is brought in at the last
moment.
An actual incident that happened
on a we'll know exchange, a morning
daily, illustrates about the way the
thing works where copy is delayed.
A country corresp ondent sent in his
regular letter the news that a GER
tain Mrs. Rock had been run over
morning. His story ran along some
thing like this. '"The, victim was
taken to the -- hospital, where she
is now suffering intense agony
Shortly after the correspondent sent
his letter, Mrs. Rock died. There
was still time to have got off a sup
Elementary letter, which would have
reached the office of the paper about
6 p. m. and would have been in time
to have given the editor chance to
make the needed changes carefully.
But the corresp ondent delayed
sending word, and it slipped his mind
until it was time to go to bed. Then
he called up the office by telephone,
and informed the editor that Mrs.
Rock had died, and that the item
must be changed.
It happened to be a very busy night,
and the force was being driven by
some emergency at top speed. The
editor rummaged around among
pile of proofs, but things were in such
disorder that he could not find the,
one he wanted. He went out into
the Composing room, and undertook
to make the needed correction by
reading from the type, an always haz-
ardous proceeding if one is in a
hurry.
AS the result of his haste, the dis
patch came out next morning reading
something like this, which was not
particularly pleasing to the relatives
of Mrs. Rook:=
Mrs. j. B. Rock was run over this
morning at the crossing of the x. & z.
railroad. She was, taken to the Mer-
cy hospital, where she died at 3 p.
m. She is now suffering intense
agony, etc, etc.
Moral, any newspaper copy should
be delivered to the office at the ear
Hest possible moment, and the quick
er it gets in. the freer from errors it
will come out.
