is NOTHING Doing NOW
BUYERS DESERT FIELD TO WAIT
DEVELOPMENTS
Tobacco Purchasing Crusade Not a
Great Successfully Win
Return Later

just little nlonotonous is i at
present without the activity of the
scores of tobacco buyers VINO canvass
ed and made Vernon county their
stamping ground for fortnight past.
By a unanimous agreement of local
handlers and foreign buyers, all pulled
out of the contracting game last We'd
nesday. The Censor is assured that
these men came 70 the conclusion
Fiat rs a whole their efforts at enter
ing, into contracts for the growing
crop were practically futile, and that
their strenuous riding in The growing
districts was little less than a hind
rance to farmers IN constant inter-
ruptions from their daily and hourly
conduct of their pushing work. A
goodly number of crops were bought
and contracts signed, but nothing Ike
the number one might naturally be-
lieve considering the energy and de-
termination exhibited among buyers.
Strong hesitancy was manifest among
growers, and although the prices ten
dered were tempting, they were slow
to bargain away a commodity of such
prospect and quantity as the present
tobacco crop gives promise. Finding
these unsatisfactory conditions be-
coming stronger each day, the buyers
considered it best for all concerned
to abandan the campaign and return
at a later date Such an agreement
was considered eandidly and entered
into.
The Censor has been permitted to
peruse that agreement, which is in
writing, and signed by every firm or
representative who sought to buy here
in the late crusade There is posi-
lively no agreement as to future prices
but simply a purpose to keep out Of
the field until crops have developed
sufficiently so that buyers and sellers
may Judge fairly accurately Of what
they are buying and selling In Au-
gust, or about the opening of tobacco
harvest, a committee viii call a meet
ing and determine a date when it is
renew the operations abandoned last
week.
The Censor can but feel that this
is q proper and legitimate move. We
would frankly and foreibly state the
matter if we surmised otherwise.
Should it develop otherwise we will
certainly sound the warning The to-
baeco crop of this country is in Won
derful demand and every pound is
wanted at its full value, so there is no
fear, as we can see, of any combina-
ton or movement to restrict prices
or buying when the time is opportune.
The Censor has been shown an
agreement entered into by the deal
ers in the Edgerton- Mad ison-Janes-
vile growing districts to the same
purpose as that made here.

should be made of the splendid work
of the members of each sch DOL district

Special mention should also be made
of the work of the nine district chair
