LANCASTER, Pa, April "a, 191

LANCASTER, PA, April "a, 1919.
Within the past few weeks consider
able tobacco has been purchased in this
section. After having waited for
months until the growers were willing
to accept the lower prices the packers
at last seemingly have become busy.
Buying is being done not by few
houses but by many including num-
Der who have not previously purchased
of the 1913 tobacco.
Although the packers are manifest
ing a greater desire for the tobacco and
growers showing willingness to part
with their crops at figures far below
what they had expected to receive early
in the season, the prices for the best
grades of tobacco continue to hold in
the neighborhood of twelve to fourteen
cents.
By many persons well qualified to
Judge almost half of the 1918 crop is
still in the hands of growers. Many
of the growers have started to pack
their own crops and others have deliv-
cred it to warehouses where the pack
ing is being done to their account. 1t
is one of the worst situations that the
grower of Pennsylvania tobacco has
experienced in many years and it is
going to weigh heavily in the amount
of tobacco that will be raised this year.
Leading growers are urging ten per
decrease in the acreage but if what the
growers themselves say of their inten-
tions is true the decrease will be much
larger than that.

HARTFORD, CT., April %, 1919.
The small Connecticut farmers are
fast undermining their farms by the
purchase of motor tractors and several
are now being used to excellent advan-
tage in the Connecticut Valley. In
Glastonbury and the southern part of
East Hartford, where there are large
farms devoted to tobacco cultivation,
FIVE tobacco growers have recently
equipped their farms with motor tract
ors and besides doing their own plow-
ing with the machines, have contracted
to do similar work for their neighbors.
Packing by the individual grower is
more general this year than ever be-
fore. This is due to. the fact that
many of the 1918 crops remain unsold.
The reason given that the crop does
not 4'move" more rapidly is be-
cause the grower, packer or buyer are
at loggerheads over the price. In
many Instances, it is learned, but few
cents per pound hampered sale.

EDGERToN, WIS. May 2, 1919.

LDGEhION, w lS.s Way Z, 1919.
There is a little picking away at the
unsold remnants of the tobacco crop all
the time going on, which in the aggre-
gate is absorbing the balance of the
1918 crop. The chances are therefore
good that before another crop is har-
vested the state will be fairly we'll
cleared of that years growth The
American Cigar Co. is also credited
with adding little more to its holdings
in this part of the state of late, a
few lots of the better grades bringing
70 and cents, but the smaller operators
are generally doing the most picking.
There is plenty of work in sight at
the packing centers that will carry the
warehouse handling we'll into the sum-
mer months, though few of the
smaller concerns will soon finish, re-
lieving help that will be used to ad-
vantage by the firms that have been
shorthanded.
The laying of the plant beds for an
other crop has been delayed during the
latter part of April by unfavorable
weather conditions but is now about
completed.
The shipments out of storage reach
500 cases and six cars of bundles since
last report. Incoming shipments reach
five car loads.

DAYTON, ONO, April 21, 1919.

DAYTON, UHIO, April Il, 1919.
Although there is yet wide diver
gence of opinion between the growers
of the Miami Valley and the dealers
and packers, there are evidences crop
ping mp here and there indicative Of a
gradual breaking of the deadlock.
Most packers of Dayton and vicinity
are handling some stock, but the move
ment is confined principally to old
Dutch, available for stogies. Some old
and some new are moving, but farmers
are weakening. and many are telling
inquirers substantially, ''Well, you see
the other fellow and if he's willing, Til
let go, too" This is heard throughout
the entire valley.

NEW YORK, April 26, 1919

New YORK, April 26, 1913.
The announcement of extensive pur-
chases of 1918 Sumatra tobacco which
will be brought to this country during
the late summer and early fall months
is gratifying in that it affords the as
surance that the cigar manufacturing
industry will not languish because of
lack of wrappers.
In domestic tobaccos there has been
movement in 1917 Pennsylvania, which
absorbed quite quantity of the stocks
in packers hands. There is strong
demand for binder material, and as a
result the force-sweated binders of the
1918 crops have been moving freely,
meeting with ready acceptance. Bind
er prices are high and will undoubtedly
remain So Journal.

That American exports of tobacco
have picked up considerably since the
signing Of the armistice has been a
familiar fact to almost everyone who
knows anything about tobacco condi-
tions. The export figures for Febru-
ary, which have just been made public,
indicate that our shipments of tobacco
to foreign countries far surpass old
time proportions. In view of the fact
that shipments to countries that for
merly took large quantities of tobacco
are impossible, and that shipments to
almost all countries are still matter
of considerable difficulty, owing to lack
of tonnage and restrictions of one sort
or another, these figures are interest
ing, and give a good indication of what
may be expected to happen as soon as
conditions are more propitious.

ASIA GREAT DANGER POINT

- -.-s: the Home OF Plague and
:Pestilenoe. .S>

Asia Is the home Of plague and
many other pests. The facilities Tor
travel have brought Asia and our Pa
cific coast together, while. the posses.
sion Of the Philippines has multiplied
the occasions for intercourse with the
far east. Thus, says the Journal OF
the American Medical Association, the
diseases Of Asia threaten the lives
and health Of the American popula.
ton, and the situation, has been ag-
gravated by the conditions Of war.
With the unyarying persistence OF bu'
bonic plague in Asia, 1t seems timely
to lay further stress on these points
The obstacles In the way Of success
fully graphing with the plague prob
lem In Asia are almost insurmount'
able. The natives object to whole.
sale incubation and rat destruction !;
hence the only effective mode Of pro-
cedure Is most difficult to carry out
Religious scruples against the slaugh-
ter Of animals, even vermin, are prev
alent throughout India. Consequently
1t may be taken for granted that
plague will continue to persist In
Asia, and as it Is extremely rife
in the two great ports Of that con.
tinent, Hong Kong and Bombay, it h
not an impossibilfty that It win be con.
veyed thence to American ports on the
Pacific coast. While there is no doubt
that our health authorities are awake
to the danger. it is well to know
that the danger exists In Asia.

ONE MANS BEST INVESTMENT
Especial" Account Opened by Man.
aser Of Big Enterprises Has
Paid Big Dividends.

An American business man had be-
come convinced Of the reasonableness
of the doctrine Of mans stewardship.
He had thought 1t all out and decided
that 1t might be good thing to try
the experiment His various business
enterprises had prospered; his income
was constantly Increasing; he GER
tainly could do things which he might
have done but had not. One night he
lay awake bordering the whole mat
ter. and before going to sleep prayed
over 1t. Then he made up his mind,
says the Christian Herald. Next morn
ing he instructed his bookkeeper to
open In the ledger a new account in
his name, and marked Special" to
which the bookkeeper should regular
ly carry one-tenth Of all the profits.
He warned him never to fail to have
the Special" account ready when
called for.
And that business mans Especial"
has never failed. 1t has been to him
wonderful revelation of the capacity
OF man immersed In big enterprises
for doing good on large scale as
side. line. 1t has helped to build
churches, to promote the gospel, to
support missionaries, to maintain and
train orphans, to bring gladness to
homes of suffering and to many shut.
ms. He has had a hand In hun.
dred noble enterprises for Christ and
humanity. And the most extraortii-
nary thing about 1t is that 1t has
given him new zest for business,
having. as he himself would say rev.
erently, God as a silent partner. 1t
has not only been a means Of bless
Ing his business, but 1t has purified
his whole life, ennobled his charae-
ter and made him ten times a better
