II is rare that the tobacco growing sections
have been favored wsiiI a more perfect caring
season than the present. one. From the very
early start Of the harvest weather conditions
have been sMtabie fer tae rapid curing Of the
shielded tobacco and IL has continued 700 right
up 80 the present writing. The early cut
would be in condition for stripping now al
almost any time were casing weather 10 come
and the packers aeFe ready 10 receive IL.
About the only thing needed 10 put mn ideal

no time since the harvest eommenceS> when
there Was any danger from shed barn or pole
rot, q risk often assured In the curing. This
much can be truthfully sad-the curing of
the crop IL so far advanced that the first heavy
frOsts cannot iniBre the tobacco in the sheds

grower is concerned. they promise 20 have

when II is taken down for stripping.
The buying movement still slumbers and
there is no present indication of its awaken
ing. Certainly none need be looked for while
the country is engaged in putting the
Fourth Liberty Loan, which is the absorbing
matter for the time being. Possibly IL cas-
ing season should come that would permit
buyers TO examine the cured leaf and learn
more definitely it's merits. some effort might
be made 70 revive the movement, but this Is
only n personal view of the condition. Every

This great war photograph,
the largest in existence, shows
a wide portion of the battlefield
during the actual advance Of
the Canadian forces at Vimy
ridge. It was taken on the
morning of April 9, 1877, when
the Canadians accomplished
their great victory at Viny
ridge, preceded and protected
by the barrage fire of their
forces. The smoke in the back
ground is produced by the
counter-barrage attacks of the
Germans. The Canadian cur
tain fire has already swept over
the battlefield and is no longer
