NEW YORK. April g.. 1918.

In all the tobacco growing districts
the farmers are preparing to plant
their seed beds. Tobacco, at present
prices, is the most profitable crop that
can car be raised. Naturally, therefore, a
record breaking acreage is being pre-
pared for tobacco. The high cost of
fertilizer and the high cost and scarcity
of labor stand in the way, but signs
are plentiful that. in all the cigar leaf
growing states, the farmers are going
to plant the biggest crops they can,
trusting to luck that in some way they
will manage to bring them to harvest.
This is not the way fancy, quality to-
bacco is grown, but tobacco is tobacco
in these days. On account of the scar
city and high price of domestic filters,
Manila tobacco is in good demand, and
the Manila importers are kept busy.
Manila tobacco is also being used in
many instances for binder purposes. =

LANCASTER, Pa, April 10, 1913.
Now that the Lancaster county to-
bacco growers have been convinced
that the federal government has no in
tention of forcing curtailment of the
tobacco acreage and does not contem-
plate taxing them per acre, they are
settling down to preparing for the next
crop. The seed beds are planted and
it is to be hoped there will be enough
plants to go around this season 1t ap-
pears probable that growers will be
warned by their experience last spring,
when they had a lot of unnecessary
trouble through shortage of plants.

NOTE S1oh SKETCHES y
s.yss-... ..-.
There are some reasons for the be-
lief that the 1918 Wisconsin tobacco
crop may not reach as large an acreage
as the growers have intended. 1t is
known already that there is a shortage
of reliably tested tobacco seed on the
market, for the distributors have sold
way beyond their usual orders, which
rarely happens. It is also feared that
the seed generally saved by farmers
last year, owing to the early frosts and
cold weather, will not develop the u.s.
ual terminating qualities, so it is not
unlikely that growers may experience
at the time Of transplanting the crop.
It is to be hoped that every grower has
tested his seed before sowing the beds
but in the event of his failure to do so
may discover his mistake too late to
prevent loss of the contemplated
acreage. In season when very little
of the seed corn saved in the state will
grow, it is not unlikely that the same
climatic Influences will effect the ger
mination of tobacco seed. Growers are
now laying good many seed beds this
week and we trust the seed sown has
been proven for it would hardly pay to
take chances on any other. The prac-
tice of carrying over a quantity Of old
seed is good one and should be more
generally followed. 1t would prove
quite a serious handicap to the coming
crop If growers should fall down now
on account of poor seed and month
later the mistake could scarcely be
remedied..

AN UNUSUAL COMPLIMENT.

Seldom do newspapers pay any at
tention to the candidates for the
smaller statehouse offices.
For that matter, the people them
selves hardly know who is running
and apparently care less. The ma
iority vote in the blind, without ever
having heard of the men whose names
are on the official ballots. They vote
by within, by chance, and by indif-
ference
However, in at least one race this

On the railroad commission, it appears
that Volney Williams, of Waycross

one c. the candidates Such papers
as th3 Macon News, the Savannah
Press, the Albany Herald, and the
Dalton Citizen, among others, are
strongly urging the election of Mr..
Williams, who is man excellently
equipped for the office. He is editor
Of the Waycross Journal, a member
of the legislature, and a man of eX-
perience in public affairs. He es-

THE NEW LIBERTY LOAN

Secretary McAdoo has definitely an
nounced that the Fourth liberty Loan
bonds will bear IA per cent interest.
The Secretary has been insistent
that the Government interest rate
should be stabilized at IA per cent.
He points out that raise in the rate
Of interest of only one-fourth of !
per cent on $1O,OOO,OOO,OOO. of Govern
ment bonds would mean an annual in
crease of $25,OOO,OOO in interest
charges, and that this money would
have to be raised by increased taxa
ton and paid by the people Of the
country. 1t would not be paid by one
class only, because there are con-
sumption as we'll as other kinds Of
taxes, and the consumption taxes
reach every class of people.
AS an intelligent people" said Sec
rotary McAdoo during the Third Lib
erty Loan campaign, 1--WE should now
make a stand for the financing Of ou1
Government during the period of this
war at stabilized rate of interest, say
at 4 IA per cent per annum, so that
all business and all investments may
be adjusted to that basis, and So thai
we ourselves may protect ourselves
against successfully increased rates o
/ interest on Government loans"
Neither our patriotism nor our sup
port of the Liberty Loans are meas
/ ured in fractions of per cent.

HISTORY REPEATS.


tory repeating itself" but could there
be a more perfect repetition of his
tory than is shown by the following
extracts concerning Caesar taken
from Phutach's Lives?
His CCaesar's) second war was in
defense CT the Gauls against the Ger
mans ,hough some time before he
bad made AlIovistus, their (the Ger
mans King. recognized at Rome as
ar ally. But they (the Germans)
were very iuyutferable neighbors to
those under HE government, and 1t
was probable when occasion offered
they would raroInce the present ar
rangcments and march to occupy
CauI"
Did not the Germans in 1914 re-
nounce their present arrangements y
1.-THE neutrality of Belgium, for in
stance land march on to occupy
Gaul"-namelv Belgium and France?
"Ariovistus' courage to some extent
was cooled upon this very approach;
for never expecting the Romans would
attack the Germans, whom he had
thought it more likely they would
not venture to withstand even in de-
fensc of their own subjects"
Nor did the Kaiser in 1914 expect
that the Belgians would attack the
Germans whom he had thought it
more likely they would not venture
t. withstand even in defense of their
own subjects"
They were still more discouraged
by the prophecies of their holy wo-
men, who foretell the future by OBJ
serving the eddies of rivers, and TAX
ing signs from the windness and noise
of streams, and who now warned them
not to engage before the next new
moon appeared"
Have not the Germans within the
llst few weeks seen the hunger
stone" rearing its terrible pate from
beneath the waves, which, they say,
is an urfailing harbinger of hunger
and distress?
Caesar made his APP
proaches to the strongholds and hills
on which they lay encamped, and so
CALLED and fretted them that at last
they came down with great f-& to
Oh, you polip, Tommy Atkins, An
FAC and Yank, why didn't you read
your history to better advantage? ?
Didn't you know that if you CALLED and
fretted them they would attack? Per-
haps you did, for listen:
But he Caesar gained a signal
victory and pursued them for 400 fur
longs, as far as the Rhine, all which
space was covered with spoils and
bodies of the slain. Ariovistus made
shift to pass the Rhine with the small
remains of an army for it is said
the number Of the slain amounted tot
$4,000"
It will be observed that the Ger
rams attacked and that Caesar coun-I
ter attacked, and that the latter did
not thereafter lose the initiative, Does
any one seriously doubt that very
soon there VII be helter-skelter re-
treat across the Rhine Not will it

to stop pursuit "in order to attend to
affairs at Rome"
