NEW YORK. April 81,

NEW YORK, April II, 1918.
The serene atmosphere of the leaf
market was again disturbed this week
by the alarming news from Washing
ton that tobacco imports except those
from Porto Rico and Cuba will be pro-
hibited after May 18th, which prohibi-
tion seems to include the imports ar
ranged for by ''New York Sumatra I'm
porters Syndicate. The purchases by
the Syndicate were supposed to be safe
as they were made under government
license covering the entire purchases
and not only those in transit. If the
balance of the Sumatra purchases of a
quantity in it's entirety hardly sufficient
but for normal consumption by our
cigar industry were to be inhibited, it
is no exaggeration to state that the
cigar industry will suffer one of the
severest blows in the continuance of
it's business. The sentiment of the
market could hardly grasp the inhibi-
tion of the contracted for Sumatra i'm
ports as serious proposition as the
importers have received license for
their entire purchases and were justi-
fed in relying on the safety of their in
vestment on the governments pledge.
Naturally, this occurrence was STIR
ring event of the market as it's conse-
quences are likely to prove to be very
serious drawback not only for the Su-
matra business but on the volume Of
our cigar. industry itself on whose pros
porous progress the leaf market large
ly depends. In other respects the mar
ket remained quiet. Transactions are
going on routine like in nearly every
type. Havana leaf in particularly ac
tive active active demand as the clear
Havana cigar output has been steadily
and satisfactorily increasing since the
beginning of the current year. Jour

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARK EFT,
EDGERToN, Wis. May 3, 1918.

The weather conditions of the great
er part of the week has been too COO
and rainy to promote much growth of
vegetation and yet the young tobacco
plants are reported to be showing on
the early sown beds. Many growers,
however, have preferred to wait for
warmer temperature before sowing
their sprouted seed. The season is al
ready late, but the delay can easily be
made up under suitable weather when
it comes to stay. The soil now has an
abundance of moisture and warm days
are only needed to bring all vegetation
forward.
There is considerable work yet in
sight to close the warehouse handling
of the crop, though we learn that the
Eisenlohr warehouses have about fin
ished sorting for the season.
The shipments out of storage reach
seven cars and three cars of bundles
from this market to all points for the
week.

LANCASTER. Pa, April 22.

LANCASIEhs a., ApIIl IL, 4O1C'
Since it became known within a COM
paratively recent period that there was
a good many unsold crops in Lancaster
county, the general belief was that this
was due to the high prices demanded.
But some of the packers say that there
is another reason why there are as
many unsold crops as there have been
reported. This reason is the reluctance
of packers to load up with goods they
cannot very we'll handle. They have
Just about as much tobacco in the ware
houses as they know what to do with,
and the scarcity of labor, especially
that. of the right kind, holds dealers
back from packing. Much Of the ware
house help now available has had little
or no experience at this kind of work.
Much of the new crop was bought
loose. The growers not being required
to do more than to strip and deliver it.
Some of the packers who cased goods
early have been inspecting it, and they
report it as sweating nicely. 1t is still
too soon to crow, but they find very
little black rot. The tobacco has free
burn and good boquet, and the packers
are very we'll satisfied with their hold
ings. Under ordinary conditions, they
believe they will find these gods profit
able, for the steadily increasing prices
of old goods and their growing scarcity
convinced them that by next year this
time, the prices obtainable for 1917
tobacco will justify all that was paid
for it. For the Lancaster county crop
of 1917 is not being rated merely as a
filler crop. Npt by any means. The
manufacturers are already letting it
be known that they expect to get lot
of wrappers, and even more binders,
out of this crop.

SPRINGFIELD. MASS, April %, 1918.
Tiny tobacco plants are now visible in
early-sown hotbeds. Ten days ago a
fall of three to four inches of snow in
parts of the Connecticut Valley COM
pletely covered many hotbeds. At no
time, however, was the temperature
below the freezing point and the beds
seemingly benefited from the snow
which covered the glass. Spring plow-
ing is backward.
A warm rain Wednesday and heavy
rain Saturday night and yesterday soft
ened tobacco still on the poles, and Stn-
day observance was overlooked by some
growers who have been waiting since
last fall for an opportunity to take
down cheir crops. Rarely has there
been a season in which there have been
SO few opportunities for taking down
tobacco.

COUNTY TEACHERS
MET ON SATURDAY
WAS ONE OF THE BEST AND
MOST INTERESTING ASSOCIA-
TON HAS YET HELD.

The meeting of the Terrell County
Teachers Association in Dawson Sat
urday was one of interest and help
fulness, although the attendance was
small.
Miss Bolton, of Pleasant Hill,
taught to her seventh grade pupils
the first lesson of Dr. McMurray's
type study" on corn. After the
presentation of the lesson she gave
a discussion on the type study and
the type study method of teaching.
Superintendent Dukes in discuss
ing the teaching of the lessen brought
before the teachers in a skillful way
the underlying principles of good
teaching. The points he brought out
we're in part as follows: The teacher
should prepare her lesson so well
that she can present the lesson with
out the text book before her; she
should stimulate interest and set up q
line of thought at the beginning of
the recitation; she should show the
relation of the topic she is present
ing to the> child's life, and the time
in which he is living; if possible, she
should help the child get a visual as
well as mental picture of the thing
taught; she should help her class to
gain as much new knowledge of the
subject as possible during the reci-
tation period; and she should make
her assignment clear and definite.
The pupils should react to the pre-
sentation of the lesson with interest;
they should have an open-minded at
titude of learning, and should show
a spirit Of cooperation and sociable-
ness during the recitation period.
This reaction and attitude Of the pu-

pills will be the result of the teach
er's skill in handling her class.
Miss Fletcher, of Yeomans, gave
an interesting and helpful discussion
on 'The School as an Evening Cen
ter; What 1t Means; What 1t Costs
and What 1t Pays" She said that
the reason so many of our boys and
girls leave the farm and go to the
city is because the country is not
providing recreation and entertain
ment for them. The school must be-
come the social center of the COM
munity and provide entertainment
for the people. These entertainments
may be debates, spelling matches,
musical recitals, lectures, moving
pictures, etc. If these things be pro-
vided for our boys and girls they will
learn to care for wholesome recrea-
ton, and will not be so fond of the
cheap shows that degrade their ideals
and standards of life.
Mr.. Lowrey was present, and told
again of his appreciation of the low
ing cup presented to him by the
teachers. He spoke in terms Of the
highest appreciation of Superintend-
ent Dukes and his attitude of heart
and soul interest in his work. He al
so emphasized in few words the i'm
portance Of correct English and spell
ing and expression reading in school.
1t was decided by the association
that the fair and athletics meet will
be held at Brentwood on Friday, May
3, 1918.
1t was also decided that Bronwood
and Yeomans will play a game of
volley ball; Bronwood and Sasser
will play game of baseball, and
Parrot and Pleasant Hill will play a
game of basket ball.

will hold its next meeting on the
second Saturday in April, being the

DOING AWAY WITH THE
INDUSTRIAL SCRAP HEAP
Railroads and Manufacturers Are
Learning to Eliminate Waste, In
GLIDING Drainage Of Man Power.

Confronted by the necessity of utll-
izing every possible traffic facility for
war material, the railroads are going
to the scrap heap for additional equip
ment. They are patching up discarded
locomotives and engines % years old
have been rebuilt and made 'better
than when they were new"
No doubt the railroad scrap heap is
the largest of all American scrap
heaps and by that token the one from
which most material Can be salyaged.
But the conditions of railroad waste
and extravaganza in the name of eff
ficiency equally characterize all Amer
lcan industry, and the new railroad
policy of reclamation is important as
an example and a precedent.
What the garbage pail is as an in
dex of household thriftlessness the
scrap heap is as monument to waste

greatest of all wastes, progressive
manufacturers now realize, lies in the
careless manipulation of mall power
