Peters" article issue of February
Ia is very misleading. l rode all last
week, and tobacco cannot be bought
at eighteen to twenty cents. Farmers
are still holding good crops at from
twenty-seven to thirty GEMS, wrappers
and filters running. Some inferior crops
can be bought at twenty-five cents. If
buyers hold off a short time, it may be
possible to buy the best at twenty-five
cents down, but now is not the time to
try it. Lots of adjusting and rejecting
was done last week and more this week.
Wait until more Of it has been done
and the farmers will begin to strike
their balance. Gebhardt and thinner
is fully so per cent bought, while Dutch
is still hanging fire. Buyers are offer
ing twenty cents for Dutch, while the
farmers are holding at twenty-five.
The main thing is to have packers and
manufacturers ride and inspect their
crops, otherwise some of them are
stung and stung right. Wet butts and
fat stems are more than plentiful, and
a large percentage of trash is being
packed in filters. Trash is bringing ten
cents, with some buyers offering eleven
and twelve cents

NEW DIRK, Marcn Z, 1915.
An atmosphere of dependency is be-
ing noted as creeping over the leaf
market. There are not exactly any
visible signs that may justify such an
apprehension. Business and prices are
according to the opportunities offered.
But it seems that some in the outlook
ahead see shadows arising on an undis
turbed future. The extravagant and
excessive prices contracted and paid
for part of last years seed leaf crops
loom up as threatening the stability of
the leaf market and have so far caused
a sudden recession from further acqui-
sitions of these crops. On the other
hand, the situation of the cigar indus
try is not viewed at in the rosiest light.
Internal Revenue figures show consid-
cradle reduction on the output and
though the true causes of this unex-
pected reduction may be found chiefly
in the demoralized transportation facil-
tiles and the severity of the winter
months, the fact of this diminution is
nevertheless ascribed to the decreasing
consumption on account of the price
of cigars. But to the observer of
keen mind and unprejudiced perception,
the not altogether satisfactory c0ndi-
tion of the cigar industry would seem
to be due rather to the neglect of
bringing cigar prices up to the figure
representing their present full value.
AS long as this necessity will not be
recognized alike by the manufacturer
and retailer, so long will there be
causes for discomfort and dependency.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Feb. rs, 1918.
Shortage of coal and of stripped to-
bacco are handicapping Connecticut
Valley warehouse operations. Most OF
the warehouses which have been with
out coal have been able to continue
operations by using wood which, how
ever, is less satisfactory than coal, as
wood fires require much attention,
while a coal fire can be banked for the
night with absolute assurance that it
will be burning in the morning. Few
warehouses have been able to get sea-
soned wood for fuel, but in most in
stances have been obliged to use wood
from trees which have been felled to
meet requirements. There are no in
dications that the fuel situation will
improve before April, so far as ware
houses are concerned.
The scarcity of tobacco is due to lack
of tobacco clamps" !" The rainfall since
November L has been the smallest in
recent years and each brief rain has
been followed by a quick change in
temperature which restored dry atmos-
pheric conditions before any consider
able quantity of tobacco could be taken
from the poles. =
Relative TO deliveries it may be said
that there has been little quibbling this
season between growers and buyers

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS. March 8, 1918.

A season of fogs has furnished the
growers an opportunity to remove the
last of their hanging tobacco during
the week. As soon as stripping is COM
pleted the farmers will be able to make
deliveries and count the proceeds of
the crop. The deliveries have been lib
eral at most of the receiving points
this week but car shortage is still so
acute that the movement from interior
stations is greatly handicapped. There
is also considerable complaint about the
condition of the tobacco being delivered
as more or less wet stems are found in
nearly every crop. Adjustments of
course are frequently made though a
few recent sales reported at top figures
make it more difficult for packers to
obtain such reductions as they think
they are entitled to because of the de-
fects mentioned. Some dealers put up
with what they consider impositions
rather than have an open ruction with
the growers, while others release con-
tracts as the safer method of guarding
their rights.
Warehouse handling is proceeding
slowly at the packing points as it is
found to be slower work in grading the
crop than usual because of the amount
of throwouts, so the season is likely to
extend into late spring.
Shipments to eastern points out of
storage are again resumed in moder-
ate WaV.

ROSTERS DOOMED
IN j, s. THIS WEEK

This is Rooster week all over the
United States.
1t began Monday. and will continue
until Saturday.
Rooster week was innaugurated by
the United States department of agri-
culture for the purpose of Kidding the
nation to as great an extent as posi-
BILE of the male bird, unless he hap
pens to be an extra fine fowl.
BOOSTERS are responsible for the
spelling Of II out of every 100 eggs
which become fortified. develop
germs from which emanates blood
rings, and then the eggs are no good.
A bulletin issued by the department
of agriculture stated that the farmers
of the country lost $15,00O,O00 every
year for this very reason. Bad meth
DDS of producing and handling eggs
cost the farmers S45000,000 annually,
the bulletin said.
Therefore farmers of Wayne county
the government, through its represen-
tative here, County Agent Kline, asks
that you exterminate Mr.. Rooster this
week and thus save yourself some
money. If you do not want to kill the
rooster and serve him at your own
table, dealers are offering this week
an extra bonus price for ROSTERS.
The county agent advises that all
exceptionally good males be separated
from the flock and be not allowed to
mingle with the laying hens, but that
all the ordinary ROSTERS be either
killed or brought to market before Sat-
urday, June s, which marks the close
of Rooster week.
Produce infertile eggs" is the ad-
wise given by the department of agri-
culture in a bulletin sent to County
Agent Kline. "Infertile eggs keep
best and market best in summer heat.
Fertile eggs spoil quickly in summer
heat The rooster makes the egg fer
tile, and that is why the rooster
should be exterminated"
The following rules for handling
eggs on the farm are cited in the bull
letin:
/. Provide one nest for every four
hens, and keep the nests clean.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
3. Keep the eggs in cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
week
5. Sell, kill or confine all male
birds as soon as the Matching season
is over.

INTERVENTION WILL
RESTORE RUSSIA

TOXIC. Tuesday, May 2s.-Allied
Intervention is necessary in Russia in
the opinion of Alexander l. Konovaloff,
minister of commerce in the Kerensky
cabinet, who has arrived here on his
way to the United States. NJ Konava-
loft who was recently liberated from
a prison in Petrograd said the object
of his visit to America was to aid the
reconstruction of Russia by informing
Americans of exact conditions there.
The former minister declared that
the present regime is destructive and
hopeless. He believes allied interven-
ton under the leadership of Japan
would restore order, create a respon-
sible government and hasten the win
ming of the war by combating the
Germans and Austrians.
If Intervention is delayed anarchy
in Russia is inevitable and there is
danger of the bourgeoise and the So
cialists turning TO Germany for help,
he said
Intelligent Russians" NJ Konava-
loft added, ''also would welcome Amer
can economic and financial aid, be-
cause they know it would be disln-
terested and not based ON political
ambitions.
