HARTFORD, CT., May 7, 1919.
The extremely high cost of fertilizer
and shade cloth has made certain de-
crease in the production of Shaded to-
bacco in Connecticut this year. Wheth-
er there will also be a decrease in the
total acreage of tobacco planted in this
state is problematical, though rather
doubtful. The 1918 crop of Shade and
Primed tobaccos did not produce very
large percentage of the kind of tobacco
that is in biggest demand and for which
the manufacturers are willing to pay
the highest price. A certain percent
age of light wrappers is necessary if
the growing of tobacco under shade, or
printing tobacco, is to be profitable as
q general thing. The average last year
was not large enough to meet this re-
quirement, and consequently producers
Of Shade and Primed wrappers did not
find the 1913 crop very profitable. On
the other hand, the demand for binders
is very large, and the binders produced
in the 1913 crop are profitable mater
ial. In view of this fact, it is doubtful
if the area devoted to stock tobaccos
will be decreased, and it is likely that
any company or firm that decreases its
Shade acreage will supplement the loss
by planting larger quantity of Broad
leaf or Havana Seed, according to their
location.

What movement there is still under
way in the 1918 crop is largely confined
to the picking of such lots as promise
to yield fair percentage of binder
leaf. While this trading in the aggre-
gate is not large, it is gradually reduc-
ing the unsold remnants in country
hands and is likely to continue. For
such goods prices range from Is to 20
cents, with filters at around cents. In
low grades and stemming leaf there is
scarcely any movement noted at pres
ent.
The sale of a 80 case lot of forced
sweated '18 crop to a Chicago jobber
by local packer is the only transac-
tion In cnred leaf coming to notice.
Weather conditions have become
more favorable to the growth of the
plant beds, though the season so far is
considerably belated.
The shipments out of storage reach
150cs and cars of bundles. Since
last report 9 cars were received from
outside points.

NEW YORK, May 10, 1919.
A summary of the holdings of the
1918 crop of Wisconsin published on
another page will GO very far toward
clearing up the ideas of the trade upon
the disposition of this crop. Briefly
stated, considerably more than half of
the entire production of the state was
purchased by stemmers, one concern
being credited with the stupendous to-
tai of S5, 600, 600 pounds. The remand
er of the crop produced around go, 600
cases of binders, fully half of which is
in the hands of large manufacturing
concerns, leaving about 80, 900 cases as
the amount available for the general
market supply. Furthermore, fully
one-half of this supply is held by one
packing concern, the, remaining 5000
cases being divided among number
of other packers. This is the first
time, since the crop was put in the
ground, that anyone has been able to
definitely indicate the disposition of the
crop. In fact, the 1918 Wisconsin crop
will stand out for many years as one
of the most remarkable that the state
ever raised, and its absorption by the
trade has been accomplished with the
exception of a small quantity in the
southern part of the state, in spite of
predictions made that its very size
would prevent its being moved in the
usual manner.
1t is not possible, just at this time,
to definitely allocate the holdings OF
1913 Connecticut sur, grown tobaccos,
though the crop has changed hands al
most as completely as the Wisconsin
crop.
7 The. total production of binders in the
1918 crops is not such as to justify the
extravagant hopes that had been held
Of :..ap enormously large supply. The
best that can be predicted is that..a
fairly ample one-year's supply has been
provided, and in view of the scarcity
Of binders that now exists, this will not
result in cheaper prices. journal.

LANCASTER, Pa, May Z, 191

LANCASTER, IA, May {, 1919.
The past week has been the biggest
this section has seen in the amount of
tobacco purchased from the growers.
The buying is being done by number
of the largest concerns and others and
rapid progress is being made in redue-
ing the tobacco remaining in the grow
ers' hands. 1t is now estimated that
over seventy-five per cent of the 1918
crop has been purchased. Prices for
tobacco have stiffened somewhat in
face of the increased activity of the
packers. One grower who was looking
for more tobacco to add to his holdings
this week could not obtain what he was
looking for because the grower would
not part with his tobacco at the price
offered, figure which would have
been sufficient to have moved the crop
several weeks before. A low quality
of toba eco still continues to sell at a
low figure, and quite frequently some
good tobacco is bought up at the same
prices, but in general for good tobacco
a more moderate price is the power
that closes the transaction. In some
sections Of this district the tobacco has
all been bought up but there are still
other sections where there is good
supply yet to be obtained, but this is

HARRY DORSEN GETS ANOTHER
 HARD CHILLING

Harry Dorsen was on the stand un- derSoing q cross examination at the hands of Robert r. Lewis, attorney for the receivers. most all yesterday.
 During the afternoon session, At torney Wolff called John Waco, a for mer employe of the Dorsens. He testified to having assisted in conceal ing just prior to the sale Of the assets on the third floor of the Dorsen build ing ust prior to the sale of the assets to Hyman Karpf and of later having taken the same sweaters and placing them back In stoc'- On cross ex- animation Waco admitted having dis cussed the case with Sam A1berts, who testified some weeks ago regarding the same goods. Finally after being grill ed by Attorney Lewis, Waco declared, 'I don't know anything about the case. sam Albert and I talked 1t over as a joke.'
 "Well, do you consider 1t joke now" asked the attorney.
 'Ycs," was the answer.
 It developed during the testimony of Harry Dorsen that goods were purchased by the Dorsen Dry Goods Co. and then turned over to tho Abel Co, one of the subsidiaries of the Dorsen Co.

Tan, Red or Freckled
 Skin Is Easily Shed

To free your summer-soiled skin of it's muddiness, freckles. blotches or tan, the best thing to do is to free yourself of the skin itself This is easily accomplished by the use of ordinary mercolized wax, which of course can be had at any drug store. Use at night as you use cold cream, washing 1t off in the morning. Im- m mediately the offending surface skin begins to come off in fine powder-like particles. Gradually the entire outer scarf skin is absorbed, without the least harm or inconvenience. The second layer of skin now in evidence presents a spot1ess whfteness and sparkling beauty obtainable in no other way. One ounce of mercolized wax usually is sufficient to completely renoYate a, bad comnla1dnusEAdE.

 About the most interesting pet in town is a young crow which some of Fred Mai5rey's school boys in Ben nington captured with a. nest of fedgling five months ago and which was brought to the Ridge by MT. Ma brey recently when he came home. IL has become fully domesticated and is lively and craftily guileful to a. most diverting degree, the latter ten dency being mostly displayed by it's constant practice of stealing various objects and hoar4ifng them in hiding places A few days since it was de- tected in the act of making off from the dining room of Miss Belle San ford's house with silver spoon. At another time Miss Sanford found un- der pillow of the porch sleeping room a chickens head andd a chop lbone which the crow had deposited there- CfrcumstantiaI evidence in the matter of the bone was conclusive as MT. Sanford witnessed the manoeuvres by which tho crow had sneaked it from the family dog. A favorite amusement of the pet is to perch on Miss Sanford's shoulder and try to pull out the ornaments in her hair F'locks of wild crows have several times come close to the house and tried to coax away the alien member of their species. but although the youngster was be;atiied into following them a short way it aI-1ys flew back to it's human fric>Is.

IlE EV()N

At a meeting held for the purpose, last evening, the Board of Se1ectmen opened the bids which had been ten dered for the purchase of fifty thous- and dollars worth of Town of Milford bonds There were three bids of which that of The National City Co.,, Of New York, was the highest, their bid was s1O1,419 and to them the bonds were sold Their bill nets the Town of Milford seven hundred and nine dollars and fifty cents and the of ficials are very much pleased with the premium thus received. These bonds were authorized by a vote of the tax payers present at a special town meeting held q short time ago, and the money raised by their issue and sale is to be used for the construction of D permanent pavement of the highway between the railroad station 1t Devon, and the shore at Myrtle Beach, and 1t is hoped by every one interested that the contract for this work can be awarded, and the work completed before cold weather sets in.

Complaints of the effect of the present unexpectedly bad weather on boarding house keepers, and business men at the shore are being heard in plenty now, and some who had come to the shore planning to board for a couple of weeks have found that a few days has been enough under these conditions and others are threatening to leave which is very un- fortunate for the hotels, and boarding houses, and the merchants of one kind, and another complain that peo- pie do not get out in the rain as they would in better weather conditions, and that trade in every line is seri- ously affected by this continued wet spell, while vegetable and fruit ven ders who come along the shore with teams or automobiles are having Q worse proposition owing to so much rain, than they have ever had in the past and an improvement in thc weather would surely bring joy to q host of people.
