The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-04-26
NEW YORK, April II, 1918.

Every requisite for big business
may be discerned in the market except
plenty Of tobacco to trade with. The
demand is there, but the tobacco is not.
The result is that hand to mouth bus
mess in which manufacturers are sup
plementing their stock bit by bit is
being done. The news coming from
Wisconsin, with regard to the quantity
of binders produced by the last crop, is
disheartening. The general opinion iE
the market is that most grades of to-
bacco> are cheaper now than they will
be six months from now. Owing to its
cheapness, Manila tobacco is in great
demand, and the houses handling it
have no difficulty in disposing of their
stocks.
Sumatra Barring few earthquakes,
storms at sea and other natural phe-
nomena of that sort. it may be assert
ed that sufficient Sumatra will reach
this country, probably by the end OF
August, to meet the requirements of
the American manufacturers. The Su-
matra Purchasing Corporation has con-
tracted for shipping to bring the tobac-
co across, and the very energetic gen.
tlemen who are in charge Of that con-
cern are breathing easier than for a
long time past.-Leaf.

NEW ORk, Aprll ~, 1910.
i The attention of the leaf market this
week was concentrated chiefly in re-
spending to the governments appeal
for investments in the Third Liberty
Loan Bonds. The response was given
cheerfully and very literally. The leaf
trades investments in the Liberty Bond
issue will compare very favorably with
the largest contributions offered by
other trades. In other respects the at
tention was concentrated in produc-
tions, calculations and speculations on
both the size of the crops that are 60
ing to be put out this year and what
the likely price Increase is going to be.
This topic seems to occupy the thoughts
and forecast of the leaf market more
than any business activity. For limit
less business could be done if ample
stocks were to be had. The best proof
of the scarcity of seed leaf is the in
creasing demand for the Philippine
type Just now, but even the Philippines
do not seem to be able to supply the
full quota. Although the government
is not absorbing entire outputs of cigar
factories as it is doing with /manufac-
tured tobaccos, its contracts with cigar
factories for increasing numbers of
cigars for new soldier encampments is
likely to lead also to a curtailment of a
normal supply for civil customership.
New factories will, no doubt, have
then to fill up the supply which will
mean increased demand for the leaf
market. journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis. April 26, 1918.

ElDGERTON. WIS, Aprll 20, 1915,
Cold rains and frosty nights are de-
laying the laying of tobacco seed beds,
for on two or three mornings this week
the ground has been frozen to the depth
of an inch or more and the canvas COW
erings have offered but little protection
to The beds. If sprouted seed had been
sown previous to this cold wave it is
feared the beds will have to be reseed-
ed. There is ample time yet for SOW
ing the seed and growers who wait
until the warm days do come will be
fully as far advanced as those who
have taken chances on weather condi-
tions.
Outside the warehouse handling which
is proceeding as we'll as labor condi-
tions will permit, there is little doing
about the local tobacco markets. The
packing season is likely to continue for
several weeks yet and then the help
will find employment in the various
stemming plants that will continue
through the summer. An effort will
be made to stem a larger proportion of
Wisconsin leaf within the state this
year than usual.
The shipments continue liberal out of
storage as May 1st, assessment time,
approaches and about Is car loads have
gone out to factory points since last
report.

Here is a familiar scene in any r. II. c. A. building at our army camps. Ice-cooled water ''bubblers" quench the thirst of thousands of soldiers. and during a "run' on the fountains $ the "water line" often extends across the building.
 The Army Y. M. 0. A. is the en. listed mans club, where he may read write letters, buy stamps and post cards, have bundles wrapped free of charge, get money orders. play games and meet his comrades for a social ; hour.
 The bubbling cold water fountain is one of the most popular advantages offered the soldiers by the Army ''Y' in the Southern department, which is composed of Texas, Arkansas, Okla homs, Louisiana, New Mexico and Arizona.

Air Plants.

In some parts of Mexico lair plants abound. These curious growths are never attached to the soil in any way, but rely for their moisture on the at- mosphere. One kind, known as "Spaniard's Beard" CTillandsia usneo- ides), attaches itself to telephone wires. Very often the, growth becomes a positive nuisance, and it is neces- sary to send men to clear it away. The "Spaniard's Beard" has no proper leaves, and in appearance is simply a mass of green gray threads.-Wide World.

been the owner and proprietor. He
has also been conducting lodging

This position has always been consid-

him unsolicited Needless to say, he
has made good, and has always done
his duty. He has always taken a
lively interest in public affairs, and
his many Skowhegan friends will con-
graduate him on this new honor
which has recently come to him.

Garrett County Soldier Boy
Writes Home.

One of our KitzmiIler boys now in
service at Camp Fremont, Palo Alta,
Cal, has sent the following letter home
and 1t is herewith printed
MY DEAR FoLKs:-I reached here
about 230 Friday afternoon and l am
quite busy getting things Strengthened
out, but now must take a few minutes
to write to my loved ones.
This state certainly does deserve the
much heard of name of the Golden
State. While coming through we could
see for miles which was covered with
orange groves and all kind of fruits and
flowers. We have very fine camp
here, nice trees and grass all around US.
1t certainly is an ideal place. Palo
Alto is college town with wealthy
people with fine mansions. The Leland
Stanford University, one that ranks
among the greatest, is the principal
school.
l cannot tell you how much l enjoyed
the fine trip across the Continent. We
hit Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Mississippi. Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona, and California. We stopped
off at ElPaso, Texas. We walked across
the Rio Grande River into Mexico. We
again stopped at Yuma, Arizona. We
were out to see the Indian reservation.
One grows tired while crossing the
desert, seeing nothing but plains, but
once, when you hit the Rocky Noun
tains, you see all kinds of beautiful
sights fitting before your eyes. Just
after we left Deming, New Mexico. we
crossed the highest bridge in the world.
1t is a railroad bridge spanning a deep
canyon. While passing through several
towns the women would serve US with
sandwiches and coffee, but when we
reached this State we were met with
something, the big yellow oranges.
They were just showered upon US
through the windows by the girls at the
stations
Myself and fellow named Maxim had
charge of the canteen, Chat is the
army store.) We would go into each
of the towns at which we stopped, so
you see that we really had quite a trip
and we could visit the different places
Of interest.
l did not get to take any pictures as
we were forbidden carrying cameras,
and never will forget the grand
chances that had to pass by. Ireceived
your letter and valentine and card from
Holmes.
l will now quit for this time. and hop
ing that all are well, remain,

PROHIBITION FOR NATION WILL BE
 LEFT. ID STATES
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington. July 24.-(Special Ut is regarded as probable tonight that Congress, in the present extraordi- nary session, will submit to the states a proposed amendment to the consti tuition prohibiting the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors in the United States and it's subdivisions
 Tomorrow, in all probability, Sena- tor Sheppard of Texas will ask unani- nous consent that the proposed amend ment be considered and date for final vote on its passage be set.
 It is learned that opponents of the proposed amendment, who. by parlia
 mentary artifice could easily encom-
 pass it's defeat, will offer no opposi-
 tion to it's consideration, and will in terpose no objection to the Sheppard plan that date be set for final test of its strength Should it pass the Senate its advocates in the House promise to secure its passage through that branch of Congress.
 Advocates of nation wide prohibition by constitutional amendments have a majority in the Senate. The passage of the proposed amendment through the Senate by a two-thirds majority would, if at all, be by a narrow mar gin.
 While no compromise, 1t seems, is responsible for the above develop ments, it is regarded as significant that the defeat of the Shoot amendment to the food control bill is generally pre- dicted. That amendment would re quire the President to commander and pay for all liquor bonded in govern ment warehouses.
