from the transfer of soldiers from
other cantonments to bring the Eighty

ten days ago and 1000 more men from
the same camp arrived this week.

LANCASTER, Pa, March 20, 1918.

LANCASTER, Pa, March 20, 1918.
For more than month past the word
has gone forth that very little Of the
new crop remained unsold. But the
dealer referred to above learned that
there is considerable yet to be had.
Not great quantity, certainly, but a
good deal more than the trade thought
remained uncontrolled for. The recent
sales show that the prices being paid
for these crops is about the same as
were paid for the bulk Of the crop,
ranging abound twenty five cents, with
not many sales above that figure. Re-
cent favorable weather has allowed the
growers to go steadily abe ad with their
stripping, and there is now very little
that is not stripped. And doubtless,
fully eighty per cent Of the crop has
been delivered. Recently, not many
complaints have been heard from the
packers about the condition in which
the tobacco is being received, SO it may
be taken for granted that it is being
delivered in fairly good condition. But
it is certainty that tie packers will
not forget in hurry the tribulations
that attended the earlier deliveries of
the crop of 1917.
1t is predicted that long before the
1917 tobacco is ready for the manufac-
turers it will have passed out Of the
hands Of the original buyers, the big
cigar concerns, which bought the major
part of the crop, not coming under this
head, of course. Early in the season it
was estimated that the 1917 crop was
worth to the Lancaster county growers
from eight to ten million dollars. Since
the deliveries began and financial cir
cles have learned the size of the checks
growers are receiving, estimates have
changed, for checks ranging from two
to five thousand dollars are not unusual,
many going much above the latter
figure.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Have you ordered your. tobacco seed
for the 1918 crop yet? The growers
generally have by this time determined
the amount of acreage to be devoted to
tobacco the coming season and arrange
ments made for fertilizers. The first
step towards another crop therefore is
securing the seed for the beds which
will now soon be laid. Start right by
securing the best seed obtainable-se seed
that has been tested and guaranteed as
to termination and true to variety.
The kind of crop growers ought to
raise is the kind of binders dealers are
most anxious for. The cost of the seed
is too small consideration to deter
anyone from ordering the best to be
had. Provide yourself now while the
supply is ample. for the dealers may be
sold out later. Tobacco is bound to be
on eof the safest crops farmers can pro-
dnce now for a few years and the 1918
crop quite likely to be the most profit
able one Wisconsin has ever produced
if we read the signs of the times right.
It would be vastly to the interest of
the growers to make it quality crop
as we'll

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, March 20, 1918.

EDGERToN, WIS. March %, 1918.
The growers are still rushing the to-
bacco crop to receiving points and the
unusually fine condition of the country
roads has greatly facilitated the move
ment. The deliveries at Stoughton on
Tuesday when five outside buyers were
receiving were the largest ever seen in
that market, between two and three
hundred teams being crowded about
the station during the busy part of the
day. Buyers are bending every eff
fort to take in their purchases as fast
as possible and even considerable to-
bacco is being weighed up and paid for
in the sheds in order to satisfy grow
ers anxious for their returns on their
crops. The unsold crops as well as the
few rejected ones are all the time be-
ing picked up by buyers who stand
ready to take over everything saleable
at top figures, equal to those paid
earlier in the season. It looks as if
the country districts will be swept bare
of all leaf before another crop is
started.
Frosty nights have so far prevented
anything being done towards preparing
seed beds for new crop.
Some tobacco is being sent out of
storage through small lot shipments
consigned to central points and then
reconsigned to eastern factories.

NEW YORK. March 10. 1918.

In the local market the packers state
that there is steady demand for to-
bacco of all sorts, despite the high
prices and that the prospects are that
the 1917 crop will go into consumption
rapidly when it is ready for use. Every
one has his eyes on the 1918 crop The
scale of prices at which last years crop
was sold would ordinarily make it GER
tain that large crop would be planted
this year Shortage of labor, high fer
tilizer, and the general high cost of do
ing business will interfere with this
proposition to some extent. Leaf
