IDA CANINE RES BE OPERATED
 THIS COAST
(By Associated Press)

SEWARD, April 16. - There will be operated along the coast of Alaska from Ketchikan in the south to the Nushagak section in the north, 104 sal mon canneries this season. Approxi- mately 30,000 men will be employed for an average of ninety days.
 It was the old idea that a salmon cannery must be located on or near the mouth of some river up which the salmon run to the spawning grounds, but this fallacy has been exploded and the salmon packers are looking for the places where the most fish can be caught at sea with purse seines.
 Fish taken in salt water are of SUI perlor quality to those caught after reaching the fresh streams, where the salmon at once begin to deteriorate.
 For the most part, however, these canneries are grouped near the fresh water streams. in many places there is from 800 to 500 miles of coast line | taking into account all the indenta- tions and deep cut fiords without a cannery in sight.
 Many new canneries are being con strueted this spring, including three on the Alaska peninsula.
 Already the packers are beginning to take precautions to safeguard the supply of fish and to seek the destruc. tion of any animal which preys upon or destroys the salmon. To this end bill has been introduced at Juneau before the territorial legislature by which bounty of S5 per head will be placed on hair seal. This animal and the so-called sea lion eat more fish each season than would keep many canneries supplied. A herd of several thousand live just outside Resurrec tion bay, which it is estimated by those informed, eat more in day than could be handled by two line can nery. or about 30,00O fish daily.
 Another improvement being tried out is the establishment of cold stor- age plant in connection with every cannery. When the run Is at its height in Bristol bay more fish are caught in a day than can possibly be packed before the time limit placed by law within which the fish must be canned after being caught expires.

NEW YORK, June 80 1917.

After the excitement of inscription
week the leaf market is settling down
again to normal conditions. Demand
is brisk but tobaccos are scarce. 1t is
hardly conceivable, with the steady in
crease in it's output, that the cigar in
dustry can meet the demand with SO
little of the supply Of raw material on
stock in the market. The question of
scarcity looms up even of bigger en-
barrassment than that of high price.
But the cigar industry is probably still
so much under the sway of the uncer-
tainty of the outcome of the war tax
as to consider the question of supply
for the present of secondary movement.
In the meanwhile the preparations for
the new crops are being followed with
close attention. For the yield and out
come of these crops may offer some So

LANCASTER, Pa, June 25, 1917.
The past week witnessed the plant
ing of practically the entire 1917 tobac-
co crop of Lancaster county, the ground
and the weather having been in prime
condition for the work. The plants,
big and hardy, are the finest this coun-
try has had in years. In many seed
beds, through overcrowding and wet
weather had rotted, and the growers
who were 80 unfortunate as to suffer
this loss had to buy their plants. But
those whose beds escaped spelling had
plants of the very best. And, as a
rule. they were about twice the size OF
the plants usually transplanted. AS a
rule the plants wilt Immediately after
planting. In many fields there was no
evidence of this, the plants standing
firm and strong from the very start.
Last year planting began fully two
weeks earlier than this year, but by
this time of the month there was still
much to be planted. This year some
planting was done weeks ago, but the
bulk of the planting was done last
week, so the crop virtually starts out
altogether 1t may not mean an even
crop, because this does not necessarily
follow general planting within con-
tracted period of time, but it means
that all gets start about the same
time.
The fields planted early have already
heen pestered by cut-worms, and an
other fall of hail occurred last week in
some sections of the county, but these
conditions are not particularly uncom-
mon, not so much so, at least, as to
cause any great alarm. The ground
already has enough moisture in it to go

NEW YORK, June 26, 1917

The fine weather that has prevailed
in the country has given the farmers
good opportunity to plant tobacco, and
they have availed themselves of it.
Nevertheless, the crop is late in get
ting in the ground, and the probabili-
ties do not favor a record breaking
acreage. The manufacturers are busy,
and there is a good demand for tobacco
which intensifies the situation, making
the scarcity of material and the high
prices all the more evident. The en-
tire leaf trade, and the cigar trade as
well, are very much "up in the air. at
present. No one seems to have any
very determined opinion as to what the
next six months is going to bring forth.
The entire trade is operating at the
rate of a day at time, without appar-
emily any deep consideration for even
the Immediate future. Leaf.

NOTE COOK SKETCHES

Wisconsin tobacco growers were sell
dom favored with better conditions for
securing perfect stand of living plants
in the fields than the present trans
planting season. Cool weather has
prevailed largely during the planting
and the soil so saturated with moisture
by timely rains that the moment the
plants were placed in the ground they
commenced to grow. There has been
no lost time this year nor have the
plants suffered from the shock of be-
ing removed from the beds to the fields
as is. often the case in seasons when
the planting is done in day soils and
hot, burning temperatures. The re-
suit has been that the early planted
fields have taken root readily and are
coming on so rapidly that hardly any
thing can now prevent an early har-
vest. Contrary to expectations of a
few weeks ago there has been an
abundance of strong. healthy plants,
sufficient for the needs of the intended
acreage in all sections, and the newly
planted fields never looked more prom
ising. The work Of transplanting ought
to be entirely completed the present
week and at date scarcely any be-
hind the average Of other years in this
state.
