SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Oct. 20, 1917.
Connecticut Valley packers are pre-
pairing for the warehouse season which
will begin early. The length of the
season will depend upon the labor sit
uation. At this writing there is moth
ing to indicate that the labor supply
will be more abundant than it was a
year ago. The tobacco packing indus
try has always employed large num-
ber of women and girls. Female labor
is more easily obtained than male, but
unfortunately there is vast amount
of work in warehouses which is too
heavy for women to perform.
Under ordinary conditions the ware
house season would be short as not
more than 70 or Is per cent of the 1917
crop will reach the sorting tables, ow-
ing to hail and frost damage.
A heavy rain last Wednesday soften
ed tobacco hanging in the barns and
growers took down large amount of
the new crop that night and the fol-
lowing day. Meantime pressure is al
ready being applied to prepare the new
crop for use at the earliest moment.
Users of Shaded tobacco who are short
of wrappers are depending on the 1917
packing not later than January.

LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. 1, 1917.
The deadlock that has existed be-
tween packer and grower ever since
attempts were made to start the buy
ing of this years crop of tobacco has
been broken-and the grower is the
one who has won out. The big drive
for tobacco is now on here. Otto
Eisenlohr & Bros. were the first to ac-
cede to the growers demands and had
already succeeded in buying a large
portion of the crop raised in the south
ern section before the other packers
could get actively to work at the same
game. For some time the Eisenlohrs
had been buyiug through York country
but last week they transferred their
attentions across the Susquehanna river
and soon had gathered up large acre
ages of tobacco. Most of it is held in
the southern section but the buyers of
this firm have also operated in the 9TH
er sections, buying few crops here
and there, so that their buying move
ment is general throughout this re-
gion. It is estimated that the Eisen-
lohr purchases to date will aggregate
of the good tobacco available. Prices
paid ranged from twenty to twenty-six
cents.
AS soon as it was discovered that the
Philadelphia firm had started general
buying movement local representatives
of other concerns Immediately wired
their headquarters as to what was go
ing on here and in short time host

account of being unable to come to
terms with the growers, and the same
prices offered by the Eisenlohrs were
offered. Considerable tobacco was
picked up by them but many growers
were encountered who would not even

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

The week has witnessed the return
of warm days which is aiding the cur
ing of the tobacco so long delayed by
unfavorable weather conditions. Grow
ers contend that even a few days of
Indian summer have made remark
able improvement in the hanging to-
bacco and should it continue week or
ten days longer the earlier portion at
least will be entirely cured out. Even
the frozen leaf, though curing dark in
color, is believed to have some value.
No one is able to estimate as yet what
proportion of the crop suffered from
the hard freeze of week ago that en-
tered the curing barns. Until strip
ping commences it will be largely guess
work to say how far fat stems will fig
ure in the crop.
Wisconsin cured leaf is traded in al
most exclusively in the eastern mar
kets for local packers have very little
old leaf to offer the trade.
The shipments out of storage reach
$50 cases and cars of bundles from
this market since last report.

Activity in the leaf market would be
at its height if the scramble for goods
could be gratified. The urgency of
buyers for supply, however, is being
restrained wherever possible and the
stocks on hand are being parcelled out
in homeopathic doses. Lucky those
who can get half or one third of what
they desire to acquire. Price seems to
be no impediment any longer. Any
price is being paid as long as any goods
are obtainable. Never before existed
such condition in the leaf market. 1t
is not any longer what the buyer wants
to pay or the seller wants to take but
what the seller will take if he only can
deliver the goods. Of course, the
dearth of sufficient supply may help to
accumulate the profits of the packer
and dealer. But these are nevertheless
worried as to the continuance of their
business in regard to furnishing their
customers with sufficient supply. In
the meanwhile, extravagant specula-
tive prices at which growers still hold
their crops seem to have the effect of
abating the feverish competition and
rivalry that existed some time ago for
their acquisition. There is limit in
prices even in war time particularly
when the raw material is not likely to
become commandeered by the Govern
ment to help out its Allies. journal.

PREVENT FAT STEM IN TOBACCO.

We have received communication
from G. W. Bacon, dealer in leaf to-
bacco, Madison, regarding the condi-
tion Of the 1917 crop of tobacco now
hanging in the sheds. The weather
conditions have been unusually unfav-
orable for curing in the sheds, and he
makes some suggestions regarding ar
tifcial methods for curing tobacco be-
fore it freezes, and thus helping to
prevent wet butts and fat stem. The
communication is as follows:
In riding through the neighborhood l
find small percentage Of the tobacco
that is cured to any extent in the shed.
At this late date we have little hopes
of much good weather for curing to-
bacco. With ordinary weather the
green tobacco will freeze and never
cure. Wet butts and fat stem will be
the result The leading tobacco jour
nails are advocating the use of artificial
heat in the sheds, such as burning
straw, old wood or anything that will
produce heat enough to dry off the
moisture. In talking with number of
growers, find they have never heard
of it. 1t occurred to me that you
might like to pass it on through the
columns of your paper. By so doing |
think you will assist your readers, and
perhaps be the means of their realizing
on their crop, what they would not
otherwise. A few years ago we had
two or three weeks of damp, cool
weather in October My tobacco be-
gan to smell bad in the shed. closed
the sides of same as tightly as possible
and opened the doors in the gables (for
draft), took load of old straw, start
ed fires in either end of shed. By mix
ing in some damp straw managed to
keep a big smudge going. In about
one hour, or when [ had the shed filled
with smoke, I closed the doors in the
gables and kept fires going for two or
three hours. In two or three days l
repeated the operation. Of course, |
am not able to say whether or not the
fire did any good because do not know
what would have happened had | not
had fires in the shed. But, as mat
ter of fact, | did not have any pole rot,
fat stem or wet butts, my tobacco
made wonderful progress in curing,
which fact / attributed largely to the
artificial heat applied. There is one
thing absolutely certain 1t will not in
jure the tobacco or do any damage, un
less they burn their sheds down. The
dealers want every pound of tobacco
there is and the growers should spare
no efforts to get their crops in the best
shape possible. Sun Prairie Country

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Had the Indian summer days we are
now experiencing come month ago,
according to calendar, the prospects
for our tobacco crop would have been
vastly improved. The warm weather
even now is working wonders in curing
out the belated tobacco. Should the
season continue long enough there is
hope that the early harvested portion
at least will be in readiness for strip
ping by the holidays. Fat stems, how
ever, are always slow in drying out and
en- leaf will have to remain in the sheds
until well into the spring months for
the winter months to have frozen them
dry. There is contended also that the
later portion that froze in the sheds
will be available for stemming pur-
poses even though it cures out black.
If so there will be salvage to the
growers that goes far to make up losses
that were at first thought to have come
from the freeze. However, this is
contingency to be settled later after
such leaf is cured down. No one is yet
able to say what the final outcome will
be. One thing at least is certain the
stemming concerns are in the market
for all the available tobacco to be had,
nor does the price stand in the way for
taking it over.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1917-11-09

The amount of Wisconsin tobacco
held by dealers or manufacturers in
storage October 1st, as reported to the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, was
So, $50, 557 pounds, shrinkage of over
13 million pounds since the report of
July 1st, and some six million pounds
less than was held on October /, 1916.
These figures indicate gradual short
ening of the reserve stocks of tobacco,
not only of this state but of all other
types as well. Probably 60 per cent of
the total Wisconsin leaf reported con-
sists of stemming grades and even of
these the stocks are much less than
are usually carried for manufacturing
purposes.
