WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET

will be enough tobacco to go round.
And another reason is the refusal of so
many growers to sell. The prevailing
price has been fifteen and three and
four cents, though good deal of to-
bacco has been sold at sixteen and five.
That it is great crop, one of the
finest the county has ever grown, is
very generally admitted. Some was
damaged or destroyed by hail and storm
but it is only a small per cent. Some
people are figuring on the value of the
crop to the grower, the figures running
all the way from S4,00O,000 to S6, 0OO,-
900.
The local packers, most of them,
have been doing some buying, but
since the prices have gone so high they
have been holding in. A leading pack
er, who has not yet bought an acre,
said last week that if packers will take
into account the usual shrinkage, they
will have to ask rs cents pound for
the new goods in order to realize even
a moderate profit.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Sept. IL, 1916.
Shortage of labor continues to handi-
cap New England tobacco growers.
The harvest is progressing, however,
and the uncut area is smaller than many
had expected at this date.
Growers of Shaded tobacco feel the
pinch as we'll as others, and on one
large plantation only single printing
has been accomplished. The Shaded
contingent has the advantage of ample
frost protection, and delay in printing
is more of an aggravation than seri-
Gus setback. There is, of course, the
danger that the crop under shade will
become overripe, but on the other hand
a vast amount of Shaded tobacco suf-
fers in quality from being primed when
too green.
Clear, cool nights indicate that frost
may be expected at any time. Many
growers harvested tobacco Sunday.
Several thousand acres of tobacco in
the Connecticut Valley are still uncut,
and the last Of the crop can hardly be
housed until late in the month.

Hard TO Kill.

An alligator's tenacity of life is re-
markable. IT remember one time
says an English traveller in India, 81
was with a shooting party on the
Gauges when the natives brought in
a six foot alligator. They hoped some
one would want to buy it, but no one
did, so it was determined to kill the
creature. 1t was hauled out of the
tank and tied to a tree. Bullets from
a small rifle or an ordinary twelve bore
gun seemed only to irritate the sau-
rian, and he did not seem to care very
much when a native thrust a spear
down his throat. Finally they were
obliged to get axes and chop off it's
head. Even then the tail thrashed
around, and the body was almost cut
to pieces before all movement ceased"
