E. H. Metcaif Points Out Some of
the Vital Particulars.

The dog, mans faithful friend and
companion at his best, and a public
nuisance at his worst, has been the
cause of millions spent in legislation
and litigation; has saved much life
and property and has also destroyed
much of both
A good dog is a splendid addition to
almost any family where he is wanted,
unless circumstances are such that he
takes food from the mouths of hungry
children. It is an old saying that a
poor man viii always have dog, and
a poor man win have two. In
such, and in some other. instances, too
much dog is altogether too much, any
how.
Many men. and some women, will
stand considerable personal abuse, but
the fur begins to fly when you hurl
stick of wood at their canine partner
as you catch him robbing your chicken
pens, or rolling in the pansy bed.
Halls of legislation have oftimes
rung with eulogies of the dog, and
have also resounded to the staceato
machine gun eloquenee of their detrac-
tors. Dogs are q blessing, and also, too
often, alas! they can be classed as a
curse

The whirlwind campaign in the north
ern field died down during the middle
of last week to moderate activity. Ev-
erything that at that time looked like
good binder was taken; the top figure
reached was 45 cents. The total acre

Edgerton sold at 80 and 1Oc. The Sc
lective campaign was in full swing, es-
pecially in Dane and Columbia coun-
ties, during the latter part Of last
week. Soaking showers came in this
section Friday afternoon and through
the night. While the 1920 movement
is absorbing the chief interest just
now, there is also considerable interest
shown in the remnants Of 1919 tobacco,
and several lots of bundles have ar
rived in the market. The price re-
ported is 25 cents. The sale of nearly
700 cases of 1919 of the N. E. Nelson
northern packing represents a large
deal; but one of the largest deals this
year is the Farmers Warehouse pack
ing of Rockdale and London 1918 to-

Under this date the Tobacco Leaf
comments in part as follows: Water
Street men who have recently can
vassed the Shadegrown districts of the
Connecticut Valley state that while the
outlook, generally speaking, is far from
promising for the 1920 crop, there has
been considerable Improvement during
the past week While there are num-
Der of Individual instances where the
crops have suffered very severely, and
while the crop as a whole is below the
normal average in development, they
state that pronounced improvement has
been brought about by the very favor
able weather of the past week. Bas-
ing their conclusions upon the fact that
the Massachusetts crop is in excellent
condition and that the recent favorable
weather has greatly improved the out
look for the Connecticut section, these
Investigators estimate that the approx
innate increase of 1000 acres this year
will sufficiently offset the losses to
bring the 1920 Shadegrown production
to somewhat more than the total of
1919.
A number of Water Street importers
are planning to sail for Holland in tine
to attend the September inscriptions,
at which time it is expected approx
mately 1900 bales additional of Ameri-
can type tobacco will be offered in this
market. 1t is regarded as a foregone
conclusion that prices at this sale will
be very high.
The pronounced activity in the new
Sumatra has furnished the chief inter-
est in the Water Street cigar leaf mar
ket during the past week, and still con-
tinues with unabated vigor.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. 10, 1920.
Satisfactory progress is being made
in harvesting the Connecticut Valley
tobacco crop. both Shade and Sun
grown. Rain, which caused heavy
damage by its abundance earlier in the
season, is needed in parts of the tobac-
co belt. The crop as whole is under
going steady improvement and, barring
the unexpected, some pretty fair re-
suits are in prospect as regards late-set
crops. So far as the earlier tobacco is
concerned normal crop or anything
like it is out of the question. The best
that can be said is that the tide of de-
terioration which threatened the vir-
tual failure of the New England tobac-
co crop has been checked. The trade
as a whole has little conception of the
dubious conditions in New England up
to two weeks ago. At that time the
outlook was about as dark as the pres
ent generation has known. With
month of good weather, and no heavy
hail losses or early frost damage, the
bulk of the new crop should be under
cover. Meantime buyers are picking
up the best crops. Really choice to-
bacco is bringing about the highest
ever paid for New England goods.
Thousands of acres of second grade to-
bacco will of course be sold at more
moderate prices.

Presidential years have always been
good years for the cigar trade. This
year will be no exception. The present
curtailment of credit and increase in
the rate of interest affect the tobacco
trade as it affects all business which
needs large loans to purchase the raw
material. But the tobacco business
may not feel the risk so much because
they are assured of an active demand
for their products, and profit which
will more than offset the increased cost
of the money borrowed. When prices
of leaf have held at an unprecedented
height for all types, domestic and for
eign, it is due to this confidence on the
part of the tobacco industry of doing
business at fair profit, in spite Of the
cost. The stiffening of interest charges
has had wholesome tendency to check
the spending of money for speculative
purposes, and the banks are at the
same time taking advantage OF the sit
uation to earn good profits for their
stockholders, knowing that the manu-
facturer and the retailer earn theirs.
All of it is saddled finally on the con-
sumner, and the question is how long his
back is able to stand up under the bur-
den.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

When topping of the tobacco should
be done is matter that is not govern
ed by any hard and fast rules. The in
dividual grower must be the best judge
of when to do it, as difference of soil
and difference of conditions prevailing
at the topping time in different years
must govern the process. But there
seems to be pretty fair agreement
among growers that to let the plant
stand too long in bloom before being
topped is worse on the growth and
quality of the leaf than to top early.
The same holds good of suckering.
When the top is pinched the plant at
once puts forth effort to reproduce
itself by setting new flowers and pro-
duce seed. This effort throws the en-
ergy Of the plant into the sucker to the
loss of the leaf development. Sucker
ing is done to allow the leaf all the
growing energy of the plant. Sucker
development arrests the development
of the leaf. Remove the suckers
promptly and the leaf has that much
more of moisture and nourishment re-
served for it.
The binder situation must be desper-
ate, judging by the recent buying cam
paign in the northern part of the state.
The northern valleys have a certain
amount of very excellent tobacco of
the desirable binder type, but the areas
where it is found this season are linn
tied, and the tobacco firms which are
in need of this goods waded in and
bought for prices that made even the
growers dizzy. Firms having 1919
binders ready for the market have rea-.
son. to congratulate themselves. If
they now can make good thing out of
their last years buy, put up at very
high cost for labor, they are entitled
to it, for the price last year was suf-
6ciently high to make the venture
risk. Fields of good binder sizes are
going to be precious anywhere. AS
matters stand now, there is not an
abundance of them. Even though the
weather conditions become ideal, the
Wisconsin binders of a desirable type
are going to fall short of the demand

A massmeeting Of tobacco growers
from forty Kentucky counties will be
held at Lexington shortly to determine,
how greatly the tobacco crop for 1921
will be reduced, if not cut out entirely.
The project to substitute corn, wheat
and other foodstuffs for the tobacco
crop was launched in Carrolton, KY,
July "a, when 500 growers from seven
counties voted to call the meeting at
Lexington. The call for the meeting
was addressed to several thousand
farmers. The action is a result of re-
duced prices which tobacco brought
last year and the uncertain prospects
for this year. In North Carolina the
movement is running in the opposite
direction. There the growers are max
ing money on tobacco and increasing
the acreage.

U. S. Crop Reporting Service says:
The condition of the crop August was
reported as 84.1 per cent, compared
with 75.1 per cent on August l, 1919;
1876 per cent, the average condition
figure August for ten years past; and
"a. 8 per cent, the condition of the crop
reported July last. The crop this
year is reported as covering 1859, 700
acres, or 97.8 per cent of last years
