WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Continued From Page T..

and was the price the big buyers had
fixed as the limit, except for gilt-edged
crops.
Because the crop was sold on the
poles, more than the usual amount of
litigation is bound to follow. During
the years when the crop was not sold
until after stripping, lawsuits were
few, but selling on the poles means
trouble At least, it has in past years,
and there is no reason why this year
should prove an exception. The trouble
will come when the tobacco is deliver
ed. By that time it will be possible to
tell what the tobacco really amounts
to. Reports from various parts OF the
county confirm the belief that the to-
bacco acreage will be largely increased
next year.
The Lancaster county farmers know
it is tobacco alone that has made this a
hundred million-dollar farming county.
No other staple has so much money in
it.
The local packers are not doing much
now, not only because of the holiday
season, but because they haven't much
old goods on hand to trade with. 1t
they stay in business next year, they
will have to trade with tobacco other
than Pennsylvania. Some of those who
still have 1909 have been working it off
lately; of course, at heart-breaking
prices.

Yellowstone Park Fossils.

Of the fossil forests which have so
far been discovered probably the most
remarkable is to be seen in Yellow
stone park, where the greater part of
the trees stand upright in their natural
position instead of being recumbent
and scattered about the ground, as in
other parts of the world IL Arizona
the fossilized trunks have evidently
been carried long distance from
where they originally grew. In the
Yellowstone the trees now stand
where they grew and where they were
entombed by the outpouring of various
volcanic materials
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on the steep
hillsides just as they stood when they
were living. In fact, it is difficult at
little distance to distinguish some OF
these fossil trunks from the lichen COW
cred stumps of kindred living species.
1t should not be supposed, however,
that these trees still retain their limbs
and smaller branches. for the mass of
volcanic material falling on them strip
ped the trunks bare.

New London, Conn.
The president found requests for
engagements from many political
leaders. but he arranged for none,
and is holding himself ready to re-
turn to New London.
There were evidences here today
that the republican victory in Maine
has led democratic leaders, TO work
more diligently in other parts Of the
county. Administration officials here
said they expected no other result.
but it is plain they realize they have
work ahead of them. Encouraging re
ports from Oregon, Washington and
California reached the executives Of

with the receipt of a report of the
finance committe of the National com

SPECIAL TRAIN TO THE
- - NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW

Washington, D. c., Sept. II. Ar
rangements have been made by the
Southern railway to run special
train carrying dairy farmers and 9TH
ers interested in the building up OF
the dairy interests in the South to
the National Dairy Show to be held
October 1921 at Springfield, Mass,
at which the Southern will have an
extensive exhibit giving full pre-
sentation of the South as dairy sec
ton at the present time and as a.
region for til culture development Of
the dairy industry.
The idea of the special train from
the South to tn edairy shiw, which
is held in the East for the first time
this year, is to give Southern dairy
farmers an opportunity to see how
the industry is conducted in the
North and to widen their outlook by
bringing them in contact with sue
cessful dairy farmers and dairy work
ers from all parts of the country.
while general attendance at the
dairy show on the part of Southern
dairymen is expected to do a great
deal to educate the people of the
| North as to the advantages of the
South for the industry.
Pullman cars will be started from
central points in each state and will
be made into a solid train into New
York and to Springfield. The special
will start probably ON Thursday, Oc-
tober u, reaching New York on Sat
urday, October IA. Already nearly a
hundred dairy farmers located from
Virginia TO Mississippi have indicated
their intention to become members Of
the party. New England people have
| contributed $650,00O for the erection
| Of buildings at the show and more
han 1000 pure blood dairy cattle of
he various breeds will be on exhibit,
| ,esides a comprehensive collection Of
The most approved implements and
machinery used in connection with
| he dairy industry.
In connection with the trip, ar
arrangements are also being made for
stopovers and side trips to allow the
Southern dailymen who go to visit
the most interesting milk-producing
| centers of the East, including the
pasteurizing and distributing plants
at New York, the railroad warehouses
in Jersey City where over 100000
quarts of milk are shipped daily 70
New York by special milk trains, the
| MiXter farm, an hours ride from
| Springfield, famous for the breeding
of the pure bred Guernsey cattle, and
Washington where the party will visit
the United States Department of Agri
culture and the Bureau of Animal
Industry.
