Packers who are beginning to receive
the new tobacco comment favorably on
it's appearance and predict it will be
one of the best in some years. On ac-
count Of the manner in which consider
able Of the tobacco was sold this year
there will be no delay in the movement
of tobacco from grower to packer.
Much of it does not even have to be
sorted and that will tighten the grow
ers' work considerably and expedite
deliveries. On the other hand, there
will be more work for the packer to
perform and this necessarily will add
to the final cost of the tobacco. This
is viewed with extreme satisfaction on
the part of the grower because with
the prevailing shortage in farm labor
caused by the draft and enlistments
taking many men from the community
he fears the work might be delayed.
Growers who raised large acreages
look on the situation with not any too
much optimism There will be consid-
cradle work to be done where the con-
tracts call for the delivery of the to-
bacco as in former years, and it is ex-
pected that some of the large growers
will not have this work completed un-
til late in March, the delay being caus-
ed by the labor shortage.
There is considerable speculation now
over the acreage that will be raised
next year but there is nothing definite
on which to form an opinion. The high
prices received will make many grow
ers anxious to put out large acreages
in tobacco but the labor situation will
be the determining factor. With the
prospect of future drafts coming on,
the grower is unable to form any idea
of what he will be able to do in the way
of raising tobacco.
Some recent sales of crops have been
made &C thirty-two cents for wrappers.
There is not much tobacco remaining
unsold but prices on it are ruling firm.
The little frosted tobacco which was
not purchased early is now bringing
extraordinary price, some sales being
made at 20 and % cents twice as
much as the best tobacco commanded
several years ago, the equal of the
highest sales last year for perfectly
sound tobacco and the average price, it
is believed for tobacco sold this year.
Growers who have held on to it have
realized beyond their greatest expecta-
tions. With their experience with
frosted tobacco as a guide some grow
ers who have not yet sold their good
tobacco would not be surprised if the
prices should reach 40 cents for tobacco
of good quality.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS. Jan. 4, 1917.


Severe winter weather has prevailed
largely during the week, but stripping
has proceeded upon the farms where
the bulks were not permitted to become
frozen too hardly. There appears more
of the crop is ready for delivery in the
northern sections than the southern
counties, for several firms have already
started warehouse handling there with
stock on hand sufficient for steady op-
GRAFTON. Some receiving is also under
way in the lower section but only one
or two warehouses have started ware
house operations yet. H. I. Sweeney
received few lots on Wednesday for
Cullman Bros, who have received at
other points during the week. Pack
ers are beginning to wonder il the car
shortage will interfere with the con-
centration of their purchases from out
side delivery points and what effect it
may have during the handling season,
provided their tobacco cannot be for
Warded at the time set for delivery for
they generally receive directly in cars
at such points.
The market for cured leaf brings no
new features.
There. are plenty Of orders on hand
for shipments out of storage ware
houses but little is moving because of
rail facilities on eastern connections.

VIROQUA. WIS, Dec. 26, 1917.

Although little hampering to gen
eral business, the prolonged season Of
lease" weather last week was God
send to growers and warehouse men.
It started things on the jump, and
promises early and continued activity
in tobacco matters all winter. Few if
any farmers failed to get their hanging
tobacco from the poles, and every man,
woman and child who could be pressed
into the service has been and is strip
ping the weed and putting it in bundle.
Right away deliveries commenced and
have been coming. AS natural con-
sequence the Bekkedal warehouse in
this city opened its doors this Wednes-
day morning with Is sizers, all women.
At the Eckart house considerable bun
die goods are arriving and also at the
other places IN the city, all of which
expect to open with packing crews
next Monday.
The tobacco that is coming in is con-
sidered in very good shape and little if
any scrapping has been the order as
deliveries are made. Censor.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 1917.
The year 1917 closes in the leaf mar
ket with feeling of exhiliration such
as it never experienced before. Busi-
ness was brisk to the limit of supply
and it never resulted in such high re-
muneration It's only worry was the
lack of supply but for what it had it
found ready buyers and at prices which
were beyond calculation a few years
ago. Our packers and jobbers must
have realized very comfortable for
tunes, indeed, in many cases beyond
all expectation. Everybody received a
full reward for his toll and foresight.
Nobody can look back at the year with
out the innermost satisfaction of hav-
ing for once passed business year
without financial trouble and setbacks.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The year just closed will pass into
history as one of the most unfavorable
growing seasons Wisconsin farmers
ever experienced. The 1917 crop came
through many vicissitudes of drought,
hail ard frost, lighter in yield and
poorer in quality than any previous
crop within remembrance. But yet,
despite these disasters, the crop has
been practically sold at higher prices
than ever before realized in this state
and The money returns which the grow
ers will receive for their product will
range far above that OF any previous
year save possibly that Of year ago.
With the state swept bare Of tobacco
to be marketed Of both old or new leaf,
and the almost inevitable assurance
that the present high prices will main
tain for year or so to come, the pros
poets for the coming year were never
more bright from the standpoint Of the
grower of cigar leaf tobacco. 1t is
hardly probable that the market could be
overstocked were the acreage to be in
creased so per cent in 1918, for the pro-
duction has hardly kept pace with the
manufacturers needs for several years
past What is especially needed is
bumper crop Of binder leaf and from
the natural laws Of compensation it
should be due soon. Let US hope it will
be with us the coming season. In the
light of all these circumstances the
writer urges Wisconsin growers to
make preparations for as full an acre
age as is possible this year.

AND NOW THEYl ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MIKE II BETTER

For a good many u ears TIE American
Tobacco Company haze been conducting &
series of experiments having as the.r
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it Is interesting to know that one
of the greatest OF their discoveries was one
of the simplest. and that was. that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way. just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burnley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; mostened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off b. toasi:ng;
made it into cigarettes. called them
LUCKY STRIKE the toasted cigarette"
and offered them TO the public.
Theresult has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length OF time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved. just as cooking improves
meat. for example.

A statement by Senator Overman
to the effect that the president has
been untustIy criticised for not taking

fidence was responsible for the pro

audible tone from senator sitting

but give it TO me. and some aenatcrs

A short time before this exchange
Of words, Senator Overman had read
number OF verses from the Bible
by way of pointing out the course
which senators should follow in acting
upon the bin. He read from the
eighteenth chapter of Exodus a de-
scription OF the manner In which the
forces under the leadership of Joshua
were enabled to triumph over ANA
lex because Aaron and Hur had held
up the hands of Moses.
Applying this historical example TO
the bill under consideration, Senator
Overman appealed to the Republicans
to hold up one of the presidents
hands while the Democrats sustain
the other.
