Rev. F. T. Porter May
Be Sent to France

Should the army Y. M. G. A. board at
Portland insist, it is probable that tho
Rev. F. Il, Porter, pastor Of the First
Christian church Of this city will leave
within a few weeks for Y. M. G. A. work
in France.
Mr.. Porter was called to Portland this
week to confer with H. W.. Stone in
regard TO the work over there, and also
the great need of men experienced in
general religious and social work. Mr..
Porter expressed his willingness to go,
provided he was sent direct to France
where the services of experienced
church workers are mostly needed.
In the Y. M. G. A. work e%ontemplat-
ed by Mr.. Porter, the enlistment is
for the wal and the work takes the
workers into the Y. M. G. A., buildings
close to the actual fighting front.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY, IN
FRANCE, March ia request has
for authority from the War Depart
ment in Washington to take over the
American Army post Office in France,
now controlled by the Post Office De-
partment. The primary purpose is to
improve the mail service. The first
step to be taken is to abolish divided
authority and fix responsibility for the
shortcomings in the service. Properly
addressed letters require from one to
seven months from the time they are
sent until they are delivered here by
American post. while the French mail
service frequently makes delivery in
two weeks.
There has heer more complaint over
the mail service than over anything
else connected with the expedition.
The new plan contemniatss the gradual
absorption of the present Offices by
Army men. who viii replace the
civilian clerks. y regular postal bat
talon of enlisted men will be or
ganized. The big distributing Offices
will he at the ports of entry, while
the main office will be located in Tours.
This will be equipped with card in
dex of every officer. soldier and civilian
attached to the Army, Navy and ma
rines and making it possible to re-
direct mail to men rot attached To par
ticular units.
The American Army receives and
sends more mail per man than any
other fighting force in the worlds his

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN. Wis. April II, 1918.
There is very little of the 1917 tobac-
co crop now outstanding that has not
been delivered and paid for, though
there is some fraction that was receiv-
ed and settled. for on the farms to be
brought in later when packers have
better storage facilities. Anything re-
naming in country hands can find a
ready sale at top figures for buyers
stand ready to make clean sweep of
the state. Some firms have a couple
months work of warehouse handling
before them before the close of the
packing season. Outside the the TAX
ing in of a few scattering crops yet
outstanding and the warehouse work
the local markets have no news to i'm
part.
The weather of the week has been
too cool with freezing nights for much
progress to be made in preparing the
seed beds for the new crop. However.
the steaming of the beds is under way
in some localities but the sowing of the
sprouted seed is discouraged.
The embargo on shipments out of
storage seems to have been raised and
something like 20 car loads have gone
out of this market to factory points
since last report.

Late Food Regulations.

All bakers are hereby notified that
rye flour cannot be used as substitute
for wheat flour after April 1. Begin
ming with April Ia all bakers must use
% per cent of substitutes in their
bread. Bakers may continue to use
potatoes as wheat flour substitutes on
basis of four pounds of potatoes as
equal to one pound Of other substitutes.
The use of sugar on bread and rolls is
forbidden. It may be used on crackers
and other pastry products.
All Meatless Days and Meatless Meals
are hereby suspended by order Of the
IT. S. Food Administrator until May 1.
This ruling is due to the fact that there
is an unusual run Of hogs in the mar
ket and limited storage capacity in
packers cellars and also shortage of
cars and shortage of overseas trans
portation.
We urge people to eat more pota-
toes, milk, and meat of which there
are now bountiful supplies, and con-
serve all bread stuffs.
There is no change In the ruling to
the effect that all consumers must pur-
chase wheat -four and substitutes on
the fifty-ffty basis. After April i,
housewives and households should not
purchase and consume TO exceed one
and one-half pounds Of -four per person
per. week, or six pounds Of -four per
person per month In this connection
substitutes must be purchased as here
tofore.
Five hundred leading hotel men from
all parts OF the United States pledged
themselves on March 80 to abolish abb
solutely the use of wheat products in
their hotels until the next harvest, in
order that through their example an
adequate shipment of wheat TO the
allies may be made. We ask al hotels,
restaurants and eating houses to CO.
operate in this agreement.

NEW YORK, April D, 1910.
There is no change whatsoever in the
leaf market situation. Any brisk busi-
ness is restricted by the scarcity of am
pie stocks. There is, however, a good
deal of speculation going on as to the
prices the new crops will fetch when
they become marketable. In the to-
bacco raising centers, stocks in the
hands of the growers can be had yet
but they are being held for increasing
price and so cents for Pennsylvania
filler and Wisconsin binder leaf seems
to be the aspiration. The users of
Sumatra leaf are being cheered by the
approaching arrival of the first direct
shipment of the new crop to reach this
country. Our domestic Shadegrown
leaf is, of course, on top both in price
and demand, while the Havana and
Porto Rican leaf are sharing a like de-
mand. journal.

LANCASTER, PA, April 3, 1918
There is no mystery as to the reason
BUYERS paid what they did for this
county's 1917 tobacco. The trade knows
quite we'll that the goods were needed
no matter what they cost. And this
was the case in particular with the big
cigar concerns of the country. Most
of them are credited with having on
hand a reserve stock sufficient for two
years, though the trade may be a good
deal off on this score. Whether this is
SC or not, still they do not apparently
feel safe even with such reserve. So
they went in to get as much Of Lancas-
ter county's tobacco as they thought
they needed. Twenty cents pound
was the limit tacitly fixed by the trade
for the 1917 crop, and it would not
have gone higher if somebody, in their
anxiety to get certain crops had not
overstepped the limit. 1t precipitated
fast buying and prices went ballooning,
as a matter of course, and once started
there was no pulling down prices.
The heaviest tobacco grown in this
county in many years is last year s
crop, and on this account there will be
much shrinkage, through the drying of
the leaves. Meaning an additional
source of loss to the packer, who al
ways has to figure on certain per
cent of loss on every cross, through
various causes, and the worst of it is
that the packer can do nothing to shut
off loss through shrinkage.
The planting of seed beds is practjc-
ally finished, but from the reports re-
ceived no more than usual have adopt
ed the system of sterilizing the beds,
sterilization meaning the destruction of
weeds and insect life in the beds.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-04-12

The War Trade Board has under con
sideration the question of curtailing
imports and exports of tobacco. It is
too early to attempt to forecast its~de-
cision but in view of the shipping sit
uation and the imperative demand for
ships and cargo space it is not unlikely
that there will be some curtaiIment Of
both exports and imports. Recently
the War Trade Board promulgated q
list of restricted imports. Since then
it has been at work on a second list and
it is in that connection that it has been
considering possible action that will af-
feet the trade. There will be no hasty
decision in a matter of such grave in
portance and the problem is being stud
led from various points of view.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-04-12

If the market for the coming years
tobacco crop should start at the closing
figures of. the 1917, Wisconsin tobacco
growers might already commence to
discount a profit that would size up
with stock in any of the war babies.
The farmer who produces good crop
in 1918 is in danger of being classed as
a plutocrat unless all signs go wrong.
