NEW YORK, April IA, 1917.
A new worry seems to threaten the
leaf market on account of the appeal
by the National Defense and Food
Commissions to the farmers of the
country to devote all the acreage pos
sible to the raising of foodstuffs in
preference Of any other agricultural
product. If the farmers of the country
should respond to this governmental
appeal and if patriotic animation moves
them to do so, then there is likely to
be an enormous shortage this year in
our tobacco crops. AS nearly all the
cigar leaf crops of last year have been
contracted for already the imminence
of shortage of this years cigar leaf
crops looms up more threateningly for
both the leaf trade and cigar industry
than ever before. 1t would then be
absolutely no longer any question of
price, but to grab up from the farm
er's hand at any price whatsoever,
whatever he may produce on the tobac-
co acreage. Brighter, however, have
become the prospects of a Sumatra
supply. For as our Washington bureau
informs our readers in this week S issue
the English blockade is likely to be
raised in favor of more adequate
shipping transportation between Hol-
land and the United States, and if so
the tobacco purchased by Americans at
this years inscriptions is likely to
reach our shores in due time. Even if
the normal quantity should not be
brought ia, the new importations in
addition to the acquisition of the ten
thousand bales by the American syndi-
cate are likely to save the American
Sumatra market from a famine. Busi-
ness in the market remains brisk in
whatever types are still for sale. -

The first really warm days of the
season have come during the week
which has set the tobacco farmers
busy preparing their seed beds and the
white canvas tops can be seen on most
farms in the growing sections. Where
sprouted seed is sown on steamed beds
this date is plenty early enough for
starting the crop.
The receiving of the 1916 crop is now
pretty we'll completed in all sections
of the state except where few belat-
ed growers have not been able to get
their tobacco down from their curing
sheds. The difficulty from this time on
will be to get the leaf into pliable con-
dition for stripping.
Warehouse handling is dragging along
rather slowly owing to the shortage of
help that have left for other industries.
There is an active demand for all to-.
baccos that local packers control and
the price does not stand in the way of
transactions if the goods needed by the
manufacturers could be found. There
probably never has been time in the
history of the industry in this state
when so little tobacco was held in the
hands of local operators.
The shipments out of storage reach
500 cases and 6>carloads of bundles.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Apr. 10, 1917.
That the labor question is already a
serious matter is evident from the fact
that the tobacco men in these parts are
forming associations. The Windsor To-
bacco Growers association has just
been formed. The association will be
conducted along the lines of similar as
sociations in the tobacco growing busi-
ness in the state. The members have
been convinced that it will be almost
impossible to secure enough help locally
to carry on their work, and they will
organize labor bureau to be controlled
by the association and secure negro
help from the South.
The weather of the past few days
has been favorable for the growers to
start operations on their tobacco beds.
Some of them have already started to
sterilize the ground and will SOON have
it in condition for sowing.

LANCASTER, Pa, April IL, 49,

LANCASIEh, IA, ApIi IL, 401t.
By the middle of this month the seed
beds of Lancaster county for the 1917
tobacco crop will have been made.
Some growers, indeed, had their beds
started week ago, but under glass.
The average grower does not plant so
early and prefers muslin covers. 1t is
worthy of note that until the federal
government established a tobacco ex-
pertinent station in Lancaster county,
few, if any, growers knew anything
about such a thing as sterilizing bed.
This year sterilization is general, the
grower who don't practice it being an
exception to the rule. The grower has
come to realize that it destroys all in
sect life in the soil and protects the
seeds first and then the tender plants
from every enemy but the snail. In
recent years the growers have made
another important departure from pre-
vailing customs. They are using more
literally barnyard manure in prefer
ence to commercial fertilizers. For
some years, not many years back,
many of the growers used cheap fertil-
izers, which simply ruined the ground.
Poor crops followed, and that was one
reason Lancaster county tobacco had a
black eye in the trade for few years.
1t was well the growers saw the error
OF their ways in time.
Prominent packers, who are inter-
ested in learning as much about the
coming acreage of our county this year
as possible, after very exhaustive in
quiries, have reached the conclusion
that the 1917 acreage will be away
ahead of that of last year when 10000
acres were out, crop that made the
Lancaster county growers richer by
something like 50, 500, 900 to $5, 600, 600.

These are most miraculous times.
Every day is making history Of most
marvellous developments, unheard-of
and unimagined in any previous epoch
since the worlds beginning. In this
unparalleled development the United
States is taking a most prominent
share to an extent that even the bold
est fancy could never have forecast.
And although the tobacco trade repre-
sents but trife in the gigantic volume
of expansion which is initiating the
gross of American industries, COM
merce and finance, tobacco tradesmen
are nevertheless in the swim, profiting
literally by this overpowerlng wave OF
commercial evolution. From the grower
to the retailer, each class is passing
through a period of buoyancy such as
no member of it would have dreamt
possible two or three years ago. The
tobacco crops throughout the country
have appreciated doubly in value. Last
years crops have been disposed of by
the farmer without the least exertion,
and even before they were fully ma
tured, at figure that must have
proved stunning to his memory of what
he would have been content to get but
few years ago. Never before in the
history of American tobacco culture
have tobacco crops ruled at such prices
as they did last year and the prospects
are even brighter this year, with the
only drawback the impossibility of In
creasing the acreage. The wealth thus
acquired by tobacco farmers is merely
a reflection of the general prosperity
that permeates all industries and lines
of commerce. It exhibits itself also In
the enormous expansion of the tobacco
industries, notably the cigarette indus
try. The twenty. five billion output
would have been tahooed not so many
years ago as an ''irridescent dream.
The cigar industry has been likewise
carried along on the wave of expansive
evolution. It's output at the outset of
1917 took an unexpected increase which
is still growing in larger proportions,
and while the returns do not show the
inflated profits other industries are ac-
quiring, the expanded volume OF busi-
ness enables it at least to carry with
out overpainful pinch the increased cost
of production. S. Tobacco Journal.

Editor Reporter 7 our advice in the
Note Book Sketches to growers to start
right with good seed is pertinent here
in Ohio for we have plenty of run-out
and bastard seed used here that should
not be used. The same farmers say
they got asmuch for their tobacco in
1916 as the other fellow and what an
sWer can you make? But in 1917 our
tobacco may be bought with more eau
tion or at least the time is coming when
it will. The wires are laid for at least
a 33 per cent increase in Ohio this year
and some of the plants are up and look
ing fine. | have seen Ohio crop plant
ed May Is, shielded August !, stripped
and sorted and in bulk September 1st
and ready to work in December. If
this should occur again it would come
in handy, for all packers are short of
stock. Prof Johnson's idea on plant
beds looks good to me but my expert
ence teaches me that much of the rot
comes from sowing sprouted seed which
is liable to stand too thick on the beds
and the plants do not have good, hearty
roots and hence do not make good
growth in the fields nor produce healthy
tobacco. Many, however, allow their
plants to become too large before
transplanting. After becoming dried
out and yellow in the beds they can
scarcely be expected to make a good
growth in the fields. We need good
crop in all states this year. There is a
fine crop of lawsuits pending in Ohio
over the purchase of 1916 tobacco.

A few years ago corporation was
formed in New Milford, Conn.,, under
the name of the Tobacco Production
Co. for the purpose of manufacturing
cigar binders from tobacco stems. The
process was very much like that OF
manufacturing paper and the product
sold cut to the size and shape of bind
ers ready to be rolled upon cigars.
The concern was reported to have built
up quite a large trade, but lately fore
closure proceedings have been begun
against the company on the grounds
that it has defaulted on interest on it's
bonds. In the petition a receiver is
asked for to operate the plant. It's
said there is a big demand for the pro-
duct which cannot be met while the
plant is idle.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

t
With the coming of some springlike
days the sowing of the seed beds for
another crop is under way. The steam
ing of the beds previous to planting of
the seed is becoming the more general
practice each year until eventually no
grower will think of starting the seed
beds without steaming and protecting
the beds afterwards by canvas or other
coverings against changeable weather
conditions. Where this system is care
fully followed there scarcely need be
any failure to obtain plants in sufficient
quantities for any intended acreage
and at the usual time for transplanting
to the fields. The beds, however, will
need some attention if the rainfall is
not plentiful enough to keep them
moist enough to maintain a steady
growth Then the moisture must be
supplied by sprinkling for the grower
must not expect to trust everything to
nature.

HORRORS HOME.

When a large audience at the Bij0l
theater last night saw living on the
screen the hands Of the invaders at
the throats of unprotected women, as
depicted by The Battle Cry Of Peace, !"
many Of them realized for the first
time the horrors Of the bloody bust
ness Of war.
This stern dictum was launched By
the first president Of the United
States and is just as true today as
Il was when uttered by the immortal
Washington. To prove the truth Of
this statement 1.-The Battle Cry Of
Peace" was made by former naval
man, Commodore J. Stuart Blackton.
after he had read Hudson Maxim's
"Defenseless America"
The book burned its way into the
soul OF the producer and with the mo-
ton picture as vehicle he has sought
to burn the purport OF the book into
the minds and hearts Of Americans.
The message is one that. has been
heard before-"Prepare!" But as ex-
pressed in the big photodrama its true
meaning came to the audience LAST
night with a shock that struck at the
throat, at the pit Of the stomach and
at the heart itself.
