LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. %, 1918.
Whether or not the Lancaster county
growers intend to conform to the buy
.ers' requests that they defer stripping
and delivery until the tobacco is thor
oughly cured and relieved of fatty
stems, it is quite certain that very lit
tie stripping was done recently and
then only in sheds where there was a
heated cellar. The long continued cold
spell prevented stripping while at the
same time it gave the tobacco more
time for curing. 1t is known that some
growers, just how many there is no
means of knowing, have made up dam
aged goods separately and instead of
delivering the goods improperly cured,
are holding them back for further cur
ing. Just how these deliveries may
prove to the buyers remains to be seen,
but it is doubtful whether the plan will
meet with approval, for it has several
objections.
The trouble lies in the wish of the
grower to get his tobacco off his hands
for the grower knows he can get his
cash, which always looks good and is
always forthcoming when the crop is
delivered.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 1915


Activity in the leaf market is limited
to a hand-to-mouth supply in the hands
of the smaller dealers. Large packing
houses have disposed long ago of their
entire holdings and their mind and work
is now chiefly occupied with preparing
new crops into marketable condition.
They are, however, on the alert to ac-
quire every neglected crop that may
still be located somewhere regardless
of price. 1t is being reported that one
of our largest domestic leaf packers
contracted this week for 1900 case
lot from packer in Wisconsin for 45
cents per pound. At such prices, Wis
consin binders will rule this year at
not less than so cents and probably as
high as so cents. But such exorbitant
prices do not seem to bother the packer
very much as long as he is able to get
some tobacco to permit him to remain
in business. The arrangements for the
importation of Sumatra are being grad
ually smoothed out and there is likely
to be tolerable supply the next few
months. AS for other types, they
share the incessant price raise which
is. no doubt, one Of the causes for de-
creasing by so per cent the output of
cheap cigars. For there is no manu-
facturer living except he intends break
ing up his business who could manufac-
ture cigars no matter of what kind and
type on the basis of the cid leaf prices.

DAYTON, o., Jan. 21, 1918.

AA@OAN, ost y c~i. 81, 1C4Cs
This section of Ohio is completely
showed under. This being such an un-
usual condition here, our people are
not prepared for it, and unless the
weather moderates or the snow is car
ried away by rain it will be some little
time before our roads are passable,
even with a horse and buggy.
Buyers, however, are getting little
bit anxious. Reports come in daily
that farmers are stripping tobacco,
when we all know they have not had a
casing spell for weeks, and what little
was taken down at that time was strip
ped out long ago, so that anything
which is being handled today must
have been brought into case by water
or steam.
Reports are also current that the
farmers are not stripping out this crop
as clean as should be. They have kept
mighty little trash out of what has al
ready been handled, running it in with
the filters, which as you know go at the
crop price in this state. They simply
figure that at twenty-five to thirty
cents they cannot afford to throw out
trash, and as long as the buyers stand
for 1t they will not do so.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EpGERToN. WIS.,. Feb. j. 1918.

EDGERTON, WIS.,. Feb. i, 1918.
Railway blockades, drifted highways
and zero weather have again curtailed
the movements of the tobacco crop in
almost every direction. Little or no
work can be accomplished on the farms
towards preparing the crop for market
while such severe winter weather con-
tinues. Some receiving is going on at
warehouse points, but it is quite i'm
possible to set delivery dates at coun-
try stations where shipments to pack
ing houses are contemplated because Of
the uncertainty to get cars for loading.
So the receiving of the crop seems
likely to be a question of patience and
improvement in railroad facilities. The
shutting down of the packing plants on
Mondays in conformity with the fuel
saving order further delays the sea-
sons work but is submitted to grace
fully
The only transaction in old leaf noted
is the sale of 132cs lot of '16 by John
Linaas, made to C. H. Spitzner & Son.
Shipments out of storage are still
being held up by embargo on eastern
consignments in spite of the pressing
needs of some of the manufacturers.

NOTE 6ook SKETCHES

In our last issue was mentioned the
sale Of the last large lot of old leaf re-
naming in the state the 1916 packing
of 1260cs of Fred Eckhart at Virooua
to G. H. Spitzner & Son of New York.
then followed the statement that in
money values it was the largest trans
action ever made in Wisconsin tobacco.
What the writer intended to convey
was that the price per pound was the
largest ever paid packer of Wiscon-
sin leaf; for it is true there have been
larger packings sold in other years
where the aggregate amount paid was
larger Just what that price was is
not disclosed but it is quite generally
believed to be around as cents pound.
1t might also be truthfully said that
the transaction yielded the handsomest
profit ever realized by packer of Wis
consin probably about $75 for
each case, and almost fortune on a
single years business. Such prices, of
course, were not anticipated two years
ago when the tobacco was purchased,
and could not have been obtained ex-
cept by the conditions brought about
of extreme shortage of binder stock
and the enormous increase of values
due to the world war. 1t was the only
large lot of fine binder remaining in
the state and the packer was able to
get his price for it. And yet there are
plenty of dealers who contend that a
manufacturer could better afford to
pay even so cents pound for this lot
than to take his chances on the new
crop at 20 cents that is now being
brought in from the farms, for it would
be a cheaper binder to work than the
average run of the 1917 tobacco. AS a
matter of history it is well enough to
mention these record d-breaking figures,
for they are likely to never again oc-
cur.

Fish Beat Whiskers.

a visitor to Monhegan, Me-, was re-
clining in the only barber chair ON the
island with half his face shaved and
the other side thiclxly lathered when
the cry "Mackerel to the south'ard"
came down from the headlands. I'M
mediately the barber put up his razor
and started on the run for his boat.
When he returned he had lost a Gus
toner. but he had a. $40 catch of fish.

A packing of such size of fine bind Ter
goods has for months been the envy of
many of the large manufacturers and
leaf dealers III the East who frequently
have entered into negotiations to Sc
cure it, but the price at which it was
held always about ten points above
previous sales has stood in the way of
closing the deal. A half dozen firms
we could name wanted the goods but
the figures seemed to them impossible.
When 0. j. Jenson, representing a New
York dealer, finally closed the deal, the
transaction became at once the talk of
Water Street as it has been the sur
prise of the local dealers of the state.
The very next train after the deal had
been closed brought New York dealer
on the ground who came especially to
land this lot Probably no one except
an eastern firm who is we'll informed
as to the extreme shortage of desirable
binder leaf would have the business
foresight or nerve even to pay such top
figures for Wisconsin leaf. But the
manufacturers to whom these goods
will go may consider themselves for
tunate in securing an exceedingly fine
lot of binders, even though they cost
exceptional figures.

Inc LOO early stripping OI Cnolf To-
bacco by the farmers was strongly cen
sured by the Lancaster Leaf Tobacco
Board of Trade at their annual meet
ing. But at the present time, anyhow,
there is no stripping going on. worth
the name, nor has much been stripped
yet and delivered, for stripping is next
door to delivery. The packers feel that
as long as the cold weather continues
they will not have lot of damaged
goods dumped upon them and the long,
er stripping holds off, the better it will
be for the tobacco. The packers have
no wish for trouble with the growers
and prefer to have no docking or any
necessity for trying it. This season it
is so easy to sell tobacco that it is
doubtful if growers would submit to
docking even if they knew they de-
served it, for it would be such an easy
matter TO find another buyer. And the
packer would not be likely to sue for
damages for violation of contract. for
in this county, with the sympathy go
ing to the farmer, packers would have
as much show Of getting fair verdict
from jury as of crossing the ocean
with an aeroplane- Local papers all
over the county have published the
packers appeal for late stripping and
under the circumstances the packers
are hopeful that this year, at least, the
growers will heed their requests. The
extremely high prices the new crop
sold for ought to be inducement enough
for the growers to give their customers
a square deal.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-02-01

According to Dun's, the tobacco crop
of Kentucky this year is three times.
as large as that of previous years. APP
proximately 100000, 900 pounds is the
amount grown, which will net the
farmers something like $1OO, 600, 600.
Tobacco in that state, continues the re-.
port, usually sells for 81 TO $40 per
hundred, but this year the farmers are
asking $40.

Save the Boys.

The boys of today are the men of
tomorrow. More will be expected of
our farm boys this season than in any
season that has past. We have just
two alternatives with the youngster:
Q) To get more actual work from
him by sheer manual labor, or (2) to
plan our work ahead so that his la
Dor will be made more effective.
Which will be it? Remember that
he is BOY, not man, even though
he has the stature of one. He is rap
idly growing, his muscles are soft
and flabby. A single heavy lift may
make him only half man for the
rest of his days. Woe betide the par
ent who takes the responsibility for
such consequence.

Save the Pasture.

Feed is scarce and will be scarcer.
A go odpasture is mighty asset to
any farm. Despite this, the tempta-
ton to turn the stock on to the pas
ture early will be great. Every year
valuable permanent pastures are rem
dered practically WORTHLESS sthrough
being pecked full of holes by early
spring pasturing. Moreover, the grass
at this time is neither fattening nor
satisfying. eMadows that are to pro-
duce hay should by all means be kept
free from the stock.

Labor Supply Meagre.

1t is true that the labor supply is
very meagre this spring and it will
take the best headwork we can COM
mand to manage the old place. Just
because the boy has gone to the front,
though, let's not lie down on the job
and starve him to death. Well drive
four and six horses where last year
we drove two and four, a section of
the harrow will follow the sulky plow
and the two-row cultivator will take
the place of the one. Needed fertil-
izers i'll save labor and we'll be sur
prised when he find out how much it
is possible for us to do.

Horse Ease.

Ease the horses into the heavy
work-don't throw them in. A sore
shoulder makes an inefficient and un-
willing hauler, often leads to vicious
ness, as we'll as to chronic sore shoul-
der, which canont be reduced without
an operation. Come to thing of it,
the manure spreader is one of the
hardest Juggling tools on the farm. A
little of it goes long ways with a
soft horse. Giving the horses an hour
the first day, two the second, three
the next, and SO on, will better enable
them to stand the irksome labor in
,tore for them.
