statement declares to arrive at the
quantity of tobacco Europe will be
prepared to purchase during the next
year or two, it seems likely that any
considerable increase over the 1918
crop in the flue-cured section would
be followed by a decline in market
prices.
The largest crop of tobacco the
country has ever produced is being
marketed, and while prevailing mar
ket prices are very high for some of
the leading types, such abnormal
prices are said to be due primarily to
war conditions. The department
points out that the country has grown
three large crops of tobacco in sue
cesSion, with no decided shortage in
production of any of the leading
types.
AS compared with pre-war figures,
exports of leaf tobacco were some
what above normal in 1916, much be-
low normal in 1917, and still slightly
below the average in 1918, average ex-
ports for these three years being ap-
proximately 3S0,000,000 pounds, as
against an average of 100000 900
pounds for the three years ending with
1913.
The Ouantity Of leaf tOho cno ANIMAL
ly consumed in domestic manufacture
during the last three years shows an
increase Of about 1OOOOO,OOO pounds
over the preceding period, due largely
to decided progressive increase in
the manufacture Of cigarettes. How

more tobacco was consumed In do

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

With the definite conclusion OF
peace, it is believed the actual putting
into effect of readjustment plans will
stimulate activities in many lines
! that have been hanging back because
of past uncertainties.
There is a general feeling of opti-
mism prevailing in industrial and com
mercial circles, and this finds its re-
| Election also in speculative and invest
ment channels. The start is being
made in the harvest of the largest
cereal crop in the history of this coun-
try, in spite of the fact that previous
estimates will not be fully sustained,
| owing to unfavorable weather in some
sections of the country. In the Pa
| cific Northwest spring wheat has been
considerably damaged by dry hot
weather during June, but the aggre-
gate of returns promise to be far
above normal, while developments in
horticulture and in beet sugar indus
try, with other progressive features
are of notably favorable nature.
There is talk of further advance
in freight rates of something like %

infestation. If the potatoes are unfit
for feeding to live stock they should
be burned with the aid of straw, dried
weeds, paper or oil.
Crop rotation Is an effective control
measure. Indeed. injury to a large ex-
tent Is preventable where care Is used
In the selection of the potato field for
future planting. The new fields should
be as far as possible from old sweet
potato fields which have been infested
and II possible should be separated
from 1t by natural barrier, such as
a strip of woodland or such a crop
as corn, tobacco, or Irish potatoes. The
new crop should also be planted ut a
distance from the seeded. One grow
er reports decrease from 75 to 8 per
cent annually in his sweet potato loss
since he has practiced this method.
Potatoes which are not badly in
tested may be fumigated to advantage,
where they are intended for early con-
sumption. Carbon dsulphid has been
successfully used for this purpose. I'm
der unfavorable conditions, however,
fumigated roots may fail to .,nate
or sprout or may become su. Get to
rapid and complete decay. This occurs
especially where the tubers show a
high moisture content.
Arsenicai Spray Is Favored.
Before sweet potato plants are set
out In the spring 1t Is advisable to
dip them In a solution Of one pound of
lead arsenate dissolved In ten gallons
OF water. Spray the plants with ar
senicals for the first appearing weevils
on leaves and stems. Construct all
storage pits at points remote from the
sweet potato field They should be
kept as dry as possible and should be
constructed as to allow for fumiga-
ton and to permit of inspection from
time to time for weevil attack. All
farmers of section should cooperate
In the eradication of the sweet potato
weevil, as such work Is for the COM
mon good of the community In fact,
TO accomplish effective and persistent
results combined community effort is
necessary.
