NEW YORK. June IL, 1918,

A rather disquieting feature of the
weeks news is the fact that efforts are
being made, at time when only about
one-half the crop is in the ground, to
contract for future delivery at prices
that would guarantee another year of
very costly raw material. Be it said
to the credit of the common sense of
the farmers, very few of them seem
willing to tie themselves up, even
though the prices offered them are very
tempting. 1t is estimated that the
1918 acreage will surpass last years by
at least five per ceut. A good crop
season could easily give twenty-five
per cent better yield per acre than last
years. 1t could easily happen that
those who are making those future
contracts will find themselves bound to
accept a great deal more tobacco than
they are counting upon. The manu-
featuring industry has reached point
where it has got to be considered. 1t
is easier to raise the price of tobacco
than the price of cigars. An abnor-
mally large production by the farmers,
which is by no means out of the ques-
ton, would leave somebody in bad
predicament. The leaf packer who
keeps his head during the next few
months is going to save himself lot
of trouble.

NEW YORK, June IL, 1911

NEW YORK, June IL, 1910. &
Activity in the leaf market continues
to be in a normal condition. But it
would be lost week if it were not
stirred up by some sensational occur
renee. And SO it was by the news pub
lished in our issue of last week that
1900 bales of Sumatra and Java were
to be auctioned off without obligation
of duty payment, at the order Of gov
ernment officials. By what means this
new excitement will be abated nobody
can just at present foresee. In the
meanwhile, speculations are travelling
fast as to who is or is not to be bene-
fitted if the auction sale comes up and
how it will affect the domestic wrapper
leaf market. The market was so busy
specializing as to why anybody should
venture now to gamble in the new to-
bacco crops. the plants of which were
just put out. But such gambling ven
lures have become rather the rule than
the exception with the leaf packers and
should not cause any moraliZing COM
ment, as such comments seem to have
never had before any salutary results.
The Porto Rican tobacco market was
likewise affected by the severe loss of
a large cargo of leaf tobacco on it's
way to our port torpedoed by an enemy
vessel. AS the supply of desirable
Porto Rico tobacco is anyhow not very
ample, the loss is likely to cause some
depression. j ournal

EDGERToN, Wis. June 21, 1918.
With the close of the present week
probably three-quarters of the intended
acreage of the 1918 tobacco crop will
be transplanted in the fields, close to
two weeks in advance of the average
planting season in this state. Except
in few localities, not favored by rains
during the week, and the soil too dry,
this work has proceeded under fine con-
ditions. In the early set fields the
plants have already taken root and are
showing up well. The cut worms are
reported quite troublesome on fields re-
Gently planted, but the different pre-
ventatives now reduce the loses mater
tally from this source. The end Of
June ought to see the end of trans
planting of the 1918 crop.
The Spitzner warehouse closed pack
ing operations during the week and
there are but few firms yet to finish
warehouse handling Of last seasons
crop. Stemming operations are now
being carried on at most of the pack
ing points in the state, giving employ
ment during the summer season to sew
eral thousand hands.
The shipments out of storage reach
225 cases to all points from this mar
ket since last report.

VIROQUA, WIS, June IL, 1918.

Taking plants from the beds and
transferring them into the tobacco
fields commenced ten days ago in a
small way, but now nearly every grow
er of the weed is at the work. In fact
some have completed setting. AS usual,
some have grand plants, while others
are backward. We believe the beds
are more numerous and longer than for
many years, indicating that the acre
age of tobacco will be larger in Vernon
county this year than for many sea-
sons. There are very few farms in
this whole region but will cultivate
from one to ten acres of tobacco. The
tendency is not to abnormal acreage on
part of individuals as sometimes in the
past.

LANCASTER, Pa, June IL, l

The inspection being made at present
of the 1917 packing discloses preva-
lence of black rot greater than is US
ually found. Several of the largest
packers find that as high as Is per
cent Of the cases have to be cleaned.
The result of the inspection by two
large dealers will be of interest. One
secured twelve sound cases out of q
hundred and the other got eighteen
sound cases out of like amount of to-
bacco examined. Much alarm is being
felt over this situation, and it is caus-
ing many packers to look at their to-
bacco earlier than they usually would
have done. Much of the blame for the
condition is placed upon the grower,
who in hurrying the tobacco to the

Well posted men state that the 1918
acreage under shade in the Connecticut
Valley will be in the neighborhood of
1000 acres. It seems likely, however,
that some of the best known firms are
going to cut down their shade acreage
and grow more open and primed tobac-
co. The high price that binders and
primed wrappers brought make that
kind OF tobacco very attractive, and it
can be grown with a much smaller
financial investment than the shade to-
bacco can.

DANES SUBSCRIBE FREELY
TO FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The Danes in various sections of the
country have literally helped the gov
ernment in its time of need. Subscrp-
tions aggregating nearly $1,125,0OO
were secured from them in the last
Liberty Loan campaign through the
Jacob A. Riis League of Patriotic Ser
vice, according to statement just
issued by that organization.
This, however, does notb va con-
siderable amount represent the total
purchase of bonds by the Danes dur
ing the Fourth Liberty Loan cam
Ipaign. Many of the local societies
asked to report have not yet been
heard from, the expiration of the per-
iod during which such reports are to
be made not taking place until De-
cember 1st.
Thine grand total is practically i'm
possible of determination. Thousands
of persons of Danish blood, it is es-
timated, have subscribed through var
ious other channels than those of the
League. Among the amount thus re-
ported, the largest comes from the
town of Audubon, Iowa, where there
is large Danish population, the en-
tire subscriptions of the 1900 Danish
people coming to 1923, $50. 1t is es-
timated by the League, from the re-.
ports so far received, that the average
per capita subscription by each mid
vldual in the case of some 1865 Dan
ish bond purchasers is $245.

RULING ON FISH LAWS

Fisherman and fish dealers of Flor
ida who have taken the recent relaxa-
tion of Food Administration rulings
to mean that they are no longer under
control of the Government, should
give further thought to the subject
according to statements from the off
ice of Federal Food Administrator
Braxton Beechman at Orlando.
Administrator Beachman points out
the difficulties of giving fair and
equal privilege to all fishermen of the
State unless the laws are observed
faliKe IN an sections. When the United
States Food Administration rulings
wereAformed, it was the desire of the
Washington authorities to do nothing
that would interfere with the plans
of Florida officials looking toward
preservation and protection of the
fishing industry, and with that in view
all Food Administration rulings i'm
portantly stressed compliance with
state laws.
One of the rulings, that which per-
tanned to mullet fishing provided that
atlantic outside waters" would mot
come under the restrictions of the
Florida chosed season, but that "Gulf
of Mexico outside waters" would be
controlled by the closed season rules.
This brought forth the necessity of
policing each separate outfit sent to
the fishing grounds, and also left a
loop hole through which violations
could be covered by an outfit that af-
Ter fishing in the gulf might 'enter an
Atlantic. port with it's catch.
The State Fish Commissioner de-
clared that he would prosecute those
having mullet in their possession dur
ing the closeed season, leaving the
burden of proof on the fishermen as to
where the mullet were caught. Real
izing that this would mean untold
hardships for those who conducted
fishing in the Atlantic, Administrator
Beachman ruled that the state laws
must be between fishermen of the gulf
coast and those of the Atlantic.
AS the rulings now stand, mullet
fishing and shipping umst be in ac-
cordance with the Florida State laws,
but Food Administration rulings per-
tanning to other fish and fishing, gear
and net, remain in force and effect.
