New England.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. "a, 1918.
Another week of practically perfect
harvest weather has materially increas-
ed the quantity of New England tobac-
co safely housed. Rain would benefit
late-set crops, but tobacco now going
into the barns is, to quote homely ex-
preston, ''good for sore eyes," Ger
tain it is that New England is doing its
full part of relieving the tobacco situa-
tion. The yield will reach proportions
which in the middle of July seemed
wholly out of the question.
The statement that the 1918 New
England crop may be the largest ever
grown is now fully justified. That it
will be the most valuable overtopping
the proceeds from any othey year by
millions of dollars-is assured, even if
not single pound were harvested from
now on. In other words, that part of
the new crop already in the barns rep
resents greater value than the entire
crop of any previous year.

NEW YORK, Aug. %, 1918.

From the beginning of the planting
season until now The Tobacco Leaf has
emphasized the fact that this years to-
bacco product would, in all probability,
be larger than usual. The tremendous
prices paid the farmers for tobacco last
year made it certain as thing can be
that large acreage would be planted.
Whether the big acreage would mean a
big production would depend upon the
weather and the quality of the cultiva-
tion given the tobacco. The growing
crop has had favorable weather condi-
tions from the start-much better than
the average crop meets with-and de-
spite the shortage of help the farmers
have managed to give their tobacco
reasonably careful and adequate culti-
walton. The result is that, as it now
stands, the 1918 crop of cigar leaf to-
bacco promises to be one of the larg-
est, if not the very largest, in point of
yield, that the country ever produced.
The only thing that can now happen to
nullify this promise is severe hail or
wind storms, or frost, within the next
two or three weeks. The crop has
come into harvest fully two weeks ear
lier than usual, and much bigger per-
centage of it is now under cover than
is usual at this time of the year. If
hail, wind and frost fail to come within
the next two weeks, it can be taken as
certain that the farmers have harvest
ed bumper crop of cigar leaf-per-
haps the biggest-in the history of the
industry. Leaf.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EpGERToN. WIS. Sept. 6, 19l

EDGERToN, WIS.,. Sept. 6, 1918.
A few of the larger operators have
pushed the buying movement quite ex-
tensively during the week and secured
contracts in the aggregate of several
thousand acres of the new crop. But
in order to accomplish this they have
had to meet more nearly the expecta-
tions of growers and have paid the top
prices yet quoted. Gradually the farm
ers are becoming more and more in
clined to accept the going figures.
Here are few sample sales:
John Thronson, 16a at 37c st.
Grover Olson, LA at 371c st.
Bady & Barnes, Ga at 393&15c.
Fred Punzel, IA at 3S&15c.
Palmer & Perrigo, I0a at 363c st.
John Marks, ga at 36c st.
Joe Brenhaug, Ia at 26c st.
John jacobson, Ia at 36c st.
Walter Marsden, Ia at 36&15c.
Scott Hatch, IA at 33c.
c. w. Mccarthy, 10a at 3Oc.
The harvest has been delayed by
cold, cloudy, drizzling rains the past
few days, and the fear of low tempera-
lures near the frost line is causing
much uneasiness as not half the crop is
yet secure. The growers have pro-
duced too valuable crop to permit of
any loss of working time or cost of ex-
ira labor to interfere with it's early
housing. From this time on there will
be busy times throughout the tobacco
growing sections.
In cured leaf j. A. Jenson sold 205
case lot of IT to the account of Hart
& Murphy, ST. Paul manufacturers. It
is also reported that the John Soulman
packing of GAINESVILLE had been disposed
of to Chicago parties.
The shipments out of storage reach
200 cases and Z car loads of bundles to
all points since last report from this
market.

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. %, 1918.
Some cutting of the new tobacco crop
of Lancaster county is already going
on, being crops planted unusually early.
AS this tobacco is ripe, it has to be cut,
although not fully developed, having
nearly reached the harvest period dur
ing the late drouth. 1t was 4 bad time
for tobacco, which, while not actually
suffering on account of dry weather,
yet made but little growth. So the to-
bacco that has already ripened did not
benefit from the favorable growing
weather that Immediately followed the
breaking of the drouth. This early-cut
tobacco will lack the big leaves that
the later harvested crops will show.
Lately there has been another dry spell
and while days were sometimes warm
the nights were invariably cold-not
good for the development of crop.
The topping is all over and suckering
has followed.
The packers and growers alike are
pleased with the present outlook of the
county's tobacco. Whispers have been
heard of the buying of few crops, but
there has been no general movement
towards buying. For number of years
past large percentage of the crop has
