The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1917-12-14

Owing to labor conditions in the Con-
necticut Valley, the council Of defense
has asked the tobacco trade not to fur
ther increase labor demands the COM
ing year. The upshot of this move
ment will be mo increase in 1918
ShadegroWn or sungrown tobacco pro-
duction in the Valley" despite the
losses both to the growers and packers
and the cigar industry that will inev-
itably be sustained. Connecticut to-
baccos of all types have commanded
premiums during the past few years of
their greatest popularity and under or
dinary business conditions the sole
course of the trade there would be to
"make hay while the sun shines. = In
view Of the fact that the Connecticut
labor supply will almost certainly be
called upon more extensively by every
wartime industry for the next twelve
month, however, the Hartford packing
interests will patriotically discourage
any further competition by the cigar
leaf trade with the government for the
labor available.

and that both had eaten of her flesh.
Lepers in Korea hitherto led a mis-

While it has Leen practically certain
for the past year or more that Mr.
Ross would be candidate for the
Democratic nomination for iGller Of

that we are authorized to officially an
nounce hia candidacy.
He has served efficiently as our coun-
ty jailer for the past -four wears and
few men in the county could have given
as faithful service. He has worked
hard and successfully for the Demo-
cratic party il the county and his dem
ocracy has never been questioned; ne
is never overbearing, but kind; he is
not lenient, but tar; not harsh. but
courteous and aifable. He has the
respect and esteem of large circle of
friends, who will work increasingly for
his nomination and election, all Of
whom predict that he will lead the
ticket in November and that his cleo
ton will be sure. which will mean the
continued enforcement of the law and
the humane discipline Of the inmates
of the county jail. of whom he is GUS
todian and keeper.

1t is now stated that since January

The disappearance of girls will continue
as usual.
Not many of the girls who disappear
are murdered. More Of them go, vol

the underworld. Theirs is worse fate
than that of the Cruger girl who was

CATTLE ON FOREST RANGES.
Government Opens Large Tracts to Live
Stock

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. Uncle
Sam s national forest ranges at this
time are carrying approximately 100000
more cattle and 100000 more sheep than
in ordinary years, as a war emergency
measure. Ordinarily the national for
ests furnish pasturage for about 1,S00,-
coo cattle and horses and { 100000 head
of sheep.
Exceptional weather conditions this
year combined with the general food
situation to create an unusual emergen-
cy calling for special provisions to take
care of the stock
The national forests were opened
earlier than usual to lessen the losses
which the Western live stock industry
faced because of severe winter and
late spring which exhausted the hay sup
ply and forced use of spring ranges
before they reached their normal state.
The number of stock permitted on the
ranges for this season was raised to the
maximum consistent with safeguarding
future productiveness. The increases
made in the allowance of stock on ma
tional ranges involves certain amount
of danger, as the ranges may be depleted
through Overerazlng, but it is believed
by the grazing experts OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture that the emergency
needs can be cared for at least during
the present year with material sacri-
| fees
| Experts are carefully watching the
condition of the ranges. Reliance is
placed on special efforts being made to
secure the most intensive utilization
consistent with productiveness by inn
proved methods Of handling the stock
Better sailing methods and the develop
ment Of new watering places are among
the means employed for this purpose.
Careful examinations will be made at
the close of the grazing season on each
forest to determine its condition and
find out how many cattle or sheep it will
support next season. On areas founC
to be overgrazed an attempt will be
made to shift the surplus stock to ranges
which can better stand the strain
While officials do not think the increase
could be carried Indefinitely without Sc
rious damage to the forage. regulated
tgrazing has brought about a steady i'm
Iprovement Of the range and some area,
viii probably be able to support tn,
larger numbers permitted.
