The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1917-04-06
NOTE Book SKETCHES

What the tobacco market most stands
in need of is one bang-up good crop of
Wisconsin binders and this ought to be
due the coming season if the law of
compensation works out as it should.
The trade would easily absorb a bum
per crop at unusually high figures, a
matter that growers ought to be fully
apprised Of early and make their ar
rangements accordingly. To start right
towards that end the selection of seed
is of prime Importance. 1t should lead
every farmer to secure the best varie-
ties of seed obtainable. If the grower
is not certain what he should do in the
premises, he could consult with the
buyers who handle large quantities Of
Wisconsin leaf, any of whom would be
only too willing to recommend the va
rieties of seed best fitted for his pur-
pose. The cost of seed is such small
item that no one should hesitate to OBJ
tain the best to be had. Don't fiatter
yourself that any old kind Of seed is
good enough to raise a crop Of tobacco.
There is altogether too much run-out
and overgrown seed used in this state
now. the dealers will tell you. II you
are courting the best prices for the
coming season crop, be sure and start
right with good seed.
