provisions of this law and the opening Of
two new schools on the coast where but
a few unorganzed township schools have
ever been maintained.
THE total school population, which II
perhaps should be explained does not in
clude the children living at light stations,
shows an increase of IS over the previous
year and is the largest with the excep-
ton of two years since statistics in con-
nection with the unorganized townships
have been kept. The past year shows an

LANCASTER, Pa, July Is, 1871

LANCASTER, Pa, July Is, 1917.
United States statistics credit Penn
sylvania with approximately Al. 500
acres in tobacco this year, and it is
safe to say that Lancaster county has
at least $4,000 of these acres. York
county. neighboring county, may
have as many as 5000 acres this sea-
son, against not half as many last year,
and our sister county of Chester, which
during the past few years raised next
to no tobacco, will have good sized
crop this year.
1t is almost preposterous to say what
the Lancaster county growers expect
to receive for this years tobacco, yet
buyers smiled last year when growers
talked about 16 cent tobacco, but a
large per cent of the crop actually
brought that figure, and quite lot
sold at 10 and 20 cents. twas stated
in my lastNletter that offers of 20 cents
had been refused as away below the.
mark, so it need occasion no surprise
when / say that many of the growers
expect to get Is cents, and probably
before buying begins most of them will
be asking very much above 20 cents.
The new crop looks fine. There has
been some cool weather, but there have
been good rains, too, and plenty Of SUM
shine and warm nights.

NEW YORK. july q


The leaf market is under the spell of
these "dog days." That means that
business is not in strenuous motion.
The busiest in the market is the Amer
lean Sumatra Importing Corporation in
setting the stage and preparing the
samples for the second inscription
scheduled for Friday next. This Suma-
ira inscription will be followed imme
diately by an inscription of Java to-
baccos, another novel venture which
promises a success similar to the Suma-
ira inscriptions. For the second SUI
matra inscription an even larger at
tendance is expected than was present
at the first The third Sumatra in
scription has been scheduled for some
time in October. Sumatra will there
fore be not on the famine list this sea-
son. But neither will there be any,
thing like a sufficient quota for the
needs Of the cigar industry.
In the meanwhile some vacationists
of the market are securing around the
cigar leaf raising districts and some
rumors have reached the market of
some contracts made already in north
ern Wisconsin which will raise the
price on that praduct again to extraor-
binary figures And these contracts
are being made for tobacco that is just
beginning to sprout. What the price
advance on the matured crops will be
no one can foresee or foretell. Locally
the greatest optimism prevails regard
ing the new crops regardless of price.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July %, 1917.
Hail, wind and storm damage to the
Connecticut Valley tobacco crop Satur-
day will exceed half million dollars.
The storm extended from Hatfield,
Mass, through Westfeld and Feeding
Hills to Suffield, Conn, a distance of
fully thirty miles. In Hatfield the loss
will reach fully $500, 900. Hatfield is
largest tobacco-growing town in Mas
sachusetts and the second largest in
New England, its tobacco area being
exceeded by Suffield alone. The cream
Of the sun-grown crop in Hatfield is a
total loss. For half an hour the hail
beat upon hundreds of acres-of perfect
conditioned tobacco. The stalks were
stripped bare and beaten into the
ground.
Tobacco in North Hadley and other
Hampshire County towns suffered in
lesser degree. Tent-grown tobacco in
the Hatfield district escaped damage.
The cheesecloth coverings saggei I'M
der the weight of the hail which gath
cred in the folds of the cloth but it held
firm. The loss to many growers is
staggering as no hail insurance was
written in the Hatfield district this
year, all risks being declined. Outside
of Hatfield the heaviest damage was in
Suffield, Conn., Several hundred acres
in the northern part of the town were
hail-cut, and in some instances the loss
will be- heavy.
Westfel1, Mass, reports hail and
wind damage to tobacco of $40, 900.
The loss in Feeding Hills, Mass, may
reach 100000 or more. The tents on
the Hinsdale Smith farm were torn
from the framework in places and hail
riddled the tobacco which was unpro-
tected. Twenty-Five acres of sun
grown tobacco owned by John A.sWar
ner was practically ruined. Other in
dividual losses are reported in Feeding
Hills. The storm was most destructive
in years.
It was the second hail visitation in
Suffield in the week. Hail fell Tuesday
night, the principal loser being Hattie
way & Steane whose sixty-five acres of
shaded tobacco was badly damaged.
With the assistance of other planta-
tions the firm was able to put 500 men
at work the next day repairing the
damage where possible.
Revised figures may increase the es-
innate of hail damage. In no circum-
stances can the total fall below the half
million mark. While it is still too ear
ly to pass upon the ultimate effects of
the storm it is obvious that the loss of
such an important part of the new crop
must tend to strengthen the market
which for ten days past has been at the
highest altitude the New England to-
bacco industry has ever knnwn. Like
wise it will prove to the advantage of
the packers who have bought growing
crops which have escaped hail damage.
On the other hand the storm probably
means an increased burden on the man
ufacturer whose hopes had been raised
high by recent reports from New Eng
land. Most misunderstanding of oil IS
the loss which falls upon the owre-e ~
the ruined fnhacco. More mnrtce geg
will go on Connecticut Valley fsrirss
this year than are paid off.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Continued From Page ~

Vernon county's tobacco crop will have
been under purchase by contract by the
close of the present week if activity
continues as it is now directed.
The crop has made fine growth the
past fortnight. The unprecedented
heavy rain of Saturday night quite Sc
riously washed crops in the valleys and
sidehills. We learn of some farmers
whose fields were so badly swept that
they may be valueless. But as whole
the prospect is bright for heavy and
good crop, and it will certainly be a
bumper money mine if all goes right. -

guest, a boy of eight, feeling too old
for baby games, was frankly bored and
refused to join in the play. Several
times Harold, in obedience to warning
chances, offered the boy his own place,
only to meet as many refusals. Finally
he inquired in tones Of sincere inter-
est, 'What, did you come for-to eat?"
