Algiers is soon to have a new con-

possible through contributions by our
citizens here, to a fund given by the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. Mr.. j. ID. Middleton, as

New York State.

The 1917 crop of Onondago tobacco,
which was considered one of the finest
crops raised in New York in many
years, received severe setback while
hanging in the sheds, being touched by
the frost. There was hardly any to-
bacco to speak of that was frosted in
the fields, all of it being harvested in
good shape, but the leaf was not cur
ing very we'll in the sheds, due to the
bad weather which prevailed since the
tobacco was harvested.
Early crops cured down in pretty
good shape, but the late tobacco was
frozen in the sheds. This does not
mean that the crop is worthless, but a
good percentage of it is badly dam
aged. The tobacco which was pot
cured is that which is badly frozen.
There may be lot of trouble when the
tobacco is brought in to the buyers,
for there will be lot of frozen goods
brought in. Adjustments will have to
be made on early contracts. Ninety
five per cent of the tobacco has been
contracted for, and the balance Of the
crop can not be bought till the tobacco
is taken down, as the farmers holding
it want to wait and see what they have
TO sell before contracting, due to the
fact that some Of the crop is frozen.

EDGERToN. WIS.,. Feb. %, 1918.
Another brief casing spell ushered in
with heavy fog early in the week has
furnished an opportunity for growers
to clean out their sheds and strip the
balance of the crop. The condition of
the country roads has made it difficult
to proceed with the deliveries to any
great extent and the inability to get
cars at interior points for transship-
ment has further delayed the work.
This has compelled packers to secure
temporary storage when receiving has
occurred outside of packing points, so
receiving is proceeding slowly. Zero
weather has again interfered with the
work of stripping in the country for a
time.
The warehouse work of handling the
crop is going forward, however. but
there are some interruptions on account
of the lack of rail movements.
Carload shipments out of storage to
eastern factories are not yet accepted
to eastern points owing to the railroad
congestion.

NEW YORK, FEB. 16, 1918.

With the sudden arrival of spring
weather in the trail of Siberian holo-.
caust which nearly froze up all the ar
teries of our commercial and industrial
life the spirit of the market has become
buoyanty again. Once more it can go
after its business unimpeded by pros
trating elements and unobstructed by
traffic stoppage. With the advent of
what appears to be an open season
again the leaf market at once started
hustling out all delayed orders by every
means possible and with the resump-
tion Of at least continuous travel, even
If not altogether normal, by the gov
ernment's new control of transporta
ton, shipments were accelerated as far
as possible. The leaf market expects
now to return to it's normal condition
and to enjoy the benefits of undisturb-
ed activity. While tending to it's rou-
tine business, the market continues
intensely interested in the arrange
ments made for the Importation of the
new Sumatra. While not a full quota
of the actual Sumatra needs are ex-
pected, at least a sufficient quantity
has been secured and aportioned al
really for distribution among dealers
and manufacturers to prevent repetl-
ton of the strained Sumatra market of
last year. Besides it is being gener-
ally assumed that the Sumatra distri-
button will be spared excessive profit
eering.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. I3, 1913.
Packers who have received any to-
bacco are universally complaining OF
the course adopted by many growers.
This gives the packer much more work
in the handling Of the tobacco and adds
to it's expense, so if he buys by one
system or the other he gets the short
end of the deal
Commenting on the growers being
too lax in the delivery of their crops,
one prominent packer of this city de-
clared that the trouble lies with the
packers themselves. The packers, he
asserts, have spoiled the growers. A
false position has been created, and

Vernon county seems to have been
the favored spot this season, notwith-
standing the killing frosts at tobacco
harvest time: We had excellent case
periods about holiday time, which per-
mitted taking down the entire acreage.
1t has been bundled and is making its
way to market, giving plenty of en-
ployment to all who wish to work.
Every day the procession moves to-
ward Viroqua and other receiving points
in the surrounding territory. It is es-
timated that not to exceed so per cent
of the crop has been delivered. We
need month of sleighing to do up the
winters hauling of weed and other
teaming between town and country.
Everything indicates that farmers
will cultivate increased acreage of to-
bacco in Vernon county the coming
season. Notwithstanding shortage in
labor, the temptation for certain high
prices will influence their action in that
respect Already they are buying seed
and thinking about seed beds. One
large handler said to the Censor, re-
Gently, that he predicted tobacco would
be sold in the field this year at thirty
cents, or more. Censor.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The probable acreage of the 1918 to-
baccco crop is already a matter of con-
siderable discussion in the cigar leaf
producing states. While it is admitted
that the market conditions were never
more propitious for increased produc-
tion with an almost absolute certainty
of receiving top prices, the government
is urging farmers that their patriotic
duty lies in producing greater amount
of food products, and the councils of
defense in some states have gone so
far as to discourage any increase of
acreage. The labor problem in these
states doubtless has as much to do with
their position, as the war industries
there are seeking all available help.
Wisconsin farmers, however, are able
not only to raise its own bread stuffs
and have a comfortable surplus for
sale, but also produce it's normal acre
age of tobacco as we'll. Of course the
shortage of farm labor which is certain
to be a greater handicap this year than
ever before is going to stand in the
way of very much increase. AS much
as the incentive is to reach out for the
certain profits of big tobacco crop,
growers can hardly go beyond their
shed capacity or depend with any GER
tainty upon additional help needed in
harvesting the crop. Better than to
overreach is to keep within the usual
bounds and try and improve the quality
of the crop rather than the quantity.
There is broad opportunity to accom-
plish this end by increasing the fertil-
ity of the fields and devoting greater
care in the cultivation and handling of
the tobacco, which the additional profits
might well repay. These are sugges-
tions that ought to be considered in the
discussion of the seasons prospects.
Remember the following rules if you
desire to grow heavy crop of tobacco:
/. Have plenty Of good strong
plants.
Z. Have them ready at Cne proper
time
3. i Have deep and well prepared
field for transplanting.
4. Have plenty of manure.
5. Do not transplant when ground
is too wet
6. Make first cultivation a deep one
so as to tear UP the soil that has been
packed down in transplanting.
Z. Follow with frequent shallow
civilizations up until time when one can
not get through without tearing off the
leaves.
8. Keep all weeds out.
9. Keep worms and suckers off and
not let it bloom out.
10. Take out bud as soon as it forms.
Il. Do not cut until ripe.
H. Handle carefully.
13. Do not hang too close together.
IA. Do not hang it too close to the
ground
Is. Give barn plenty of ventilation.
This method produced the following
results in the different states mentioned
below.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-02-22

The United States Department of
Agriculture has been devoting consld-
cradle attention to the improving and
curing of tobacco sick" soils in the
Connecticut Valley, which are causing
heavy losses to tobacco growers, par
ticularly where artificial shades are
used for growing wrapper leaf. Sc
lected strains of Cuban and binder
types of tobacco grown there have
given very encouraging results, indl-
eating that the disease which attacks
plants on these soils may be controlled
by using resistant varieties. 1t has
also been shown, a recent summarized
report by specialists says, that the use
of fertilizer of acid reaction will ma
terially reduce the injury caused by the
disease. Proper rotation wherever
practicable also appears to be an effec-
tive remedy. In Maryland, where a
similar or identical disease is giving
much trouble, the native varieties
which are susceptible have been cross
ed with resistant strains, with view
to obtaining resistant types adapted to
local requirements. In Wisconsin and
in the Burley section of Kentucky pro-
gress has been made in the control of
tobacco root rot through the develop
ment of resistant varieties. The dis
ease causes heavy damage in these re-
gions every year and ordinary Burley
tobacco is especially susceptible. In
the fields where the native Burleys
have failed completely, some Of the re-
sistant strains have given surprisingly
good results.
Because of the unavoidable delay in
the preparation of forms. and regula-
tions for the war excess profits tax,
and hence in the preparation of the re-
lated forms and regulations fJr returns
for the income and war income taxes,
and in order to afford taxpayers nee
essary period for the preparation of re-
turns after receiving the forms and
regulations, Commissioner Roper an
nounces that the time for filing returns
on or before March /, 1918, for income
and excess profits taxes, whether they
are made on the basis of the calendar
year or of fiscal year ended during
the year 1917, is extended to April 1st,
1918.

MILITARY BALL NETTED $3.50

On Tuesday evening the Home
Guards gave a most successful bali
at the Moose Hall. The ball was got
ten up for the purpose of securing
funds for the purchase of a flag for
the Fort Meade Company and in or
der to ensure its success they enlist
ell the services of the ladies of the
local Red Cross. giving to the Chap
ter a percentage of the net receipts
for their trouble. About twenty of the
Ped Cross ladies got together and do,
mated the refreshments and nine of
them put in their time serving them
on the night of the ball.
The attendance was about 23O, in
Guiding numbers from our neighbor-
ing towns and all had a most enjoy
able time dancing to the music of
Watkins Orchestra. Punch was
served all the evening and at IL
o'clock refreshments, cake and ice
cream, were handed around, after
which dancing was continued until
about 1890.
Financially the affair was a decid
ed success, the gross receipts being
III the neighborhood of $3.50, of which
amount the Red Cross got about $50
for their share.-Fort Meade Leader.
