TOBACCO CROWN
IN ANY SECTION
Commercial Value Of Product In
fIuenCed Greatly by Soil and
Climatic Conditions.
OVERPRODUCTION IS MENACE
Certain Methods for Production Of
Various Types Are Recommended
by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

The tobacco plant may be grown
successfully in all ATTITUDES from
southern Canada to the tropics and on
a great variety of soils, but the COM
mercial value of the product is influ
enced to greater degree by the par
ticular soil and climatic conditions I'M
der which the plant is grown than
is almost any other important crop.
These facts are so well recognized that
the tobacco industry has become high
ly specialized, and the trade regularly
looks to certain well-defined areas of
production for its supply of the vari-
Gus classes and types of leaf required.
In these tobacco-producing districts
the necessary facilities for marketing
are available, and prevailing prices of
the cured leaf are governed largely
by the relative supply and demand and
by the quality of the leaf produced.
Increased Production.
Each important district produces a
tobacco of certain well-knOwn charac-
teristics which make it desirable for
special purposes of manufacture or ex-
port. Moreover, in practically all of
these districts the production can be
readily increased to meet any In
creased demand at profitable prices
For these reasons efforts to introduce
the commercial growing of tobacco in
sections outside of the established
producing centers are likely to result
in failure, either because the leaf pro-
duced is not quite right in type or
satisfactory marketing facilities are
not available. Furthermore, any de-
velopment of the industry in new
section on large scale, which would
be essential for economical marketing,
would most likely lead to overproduc-
ton and, as a consequence, unprotita-
BILE prices. AS matter of fact, over
production is a constant menace in all
of the established centers of tobacco
growing.
Growing and Handling. 3
The methods of growing and ham
ding the crop must be varied accord
ing to the type of leaf which it is de-
sired to produce, for the kind of to-
baccO is Influenced very greatly by the
methods of growing and handling

WORK HAS GROWN GREATLY

A revelation of the great scope or
the work of the Michigan State Police
IL given in the report recently made
by Major Robert L. Marsh, command
ant, to Governor Sleeper. This shows
that the troopers on patrol and special
assignments have travelled an aggre-
gate of 597,974 miles during the
twelve months and visited more than
1000 towns and villages.
That the money expended for the
maintenance of this force is not en-
tirely net outgo is evidenced by the
fact that the fines collected in state
and county courts in cases brought
by the State Police amounted to $780,
476.50 and in the federal courts the
fines were $75,500. Altogether. 1865
persons were required to take out IL
censes of various kinds. Stolen goods
of a value of $4,000 were recovered.
In monetary way, however, the
greatest accomplishments of the
force were of a preventative nature.
Putting out forest fires. preventing de-
struction Of property. breaking up in
cipient race riots, protecting banks
and other business establishments In
the smaller cities and villages, guard
ing orchards from raiders and similar
services bulk large in potential saw
ing OF loss.
During the year 1,046 arrests were
made for almost every crime from
murder down. OF those arrested $50
were convicted during the year, IS
cases were pending, SO prisoners had
been turned over to other officers and
only 10 were discharged. This proves
that the State Police were exceeding
ly careful in the arrests made.
Whisky Traffic Fought.
A constant attempt was made to
stop bootlegging and moOnshining.
Liquor amounting to 22,595 gallons.
Of an estimated value OF $515,O00, was
seized and SO stills were destroyed.
Two members of the force were seri
ously injured in battles with liquor
runners. Particular activity was dis
played in breaking up illicit distilling
after it was proved by analyses that
most of the home made whisky Is poi
sonous in nature and likely to cause
death If taken in any quantity.
Much has been done by the troop
ers to make the highways of the state
more safe and the arrest of speeders
has also protected the macadam and
gravel roads which are torn up by
reckless drivers.
Protection was extended to a num-
Der of towns which had been the suf-
ferers from gangs Of criminals who
used motor cars in their raids and
these raids we're effectually stopped.
Many gambling resorts were raided
by the State Police and the crooked
gamblers forced to close up, while
their apparatus was seized and de-
stroyed.
Police Made investigations.
Investigations were made for the
encouragement and other state Of
ficers. Assistance was given to storm
swept districts and many citizens
were also given aid when they were
found i'll or injured on the highways
by the troopers.
State Police are forbidden to dis
cuss religion or politics, are told to
give warning rather than to use fore
ible measures wherever law violation
appears to be due to ignorance or
heedlessness and are instructed to
render every aid possible at all times
to women, children and persons in
distress.

Larger Force Needed.

In conclusion, Major Marsh reports:
"The impossibility of protecting the
rural districts Of territory covering
forty-two thousand square miles, prac-
tically without police protection ex-
cept that furnished by the State Po-
lice,- and of complying with the two
thousand, five hundred and one re-
quests for assistance received during
the past year and which are constant
ly increasing as the force is becoming
known. With a force of only two hun
dred and four officers and men this
must be acknowledged and does not
admit of argument. Although the
population of the state has increased
over one-half million since the force
was first organized, the strength of
the force has not increased one single
man.
while the amount of pay provided
by the Act of 1919 helped at the time
to keep the experienced men, the in
creased cost Of living during the past
year and the large increase in wages
of all classes Of labor, has not only
made it difficult to secure desirable re-
cruits, but has influenced members
OF the force to resign so as to accept
much better paying positions.
81 would respectfully recommend
the force to be increased by thirty
1--WE per cent and that the pay be in
creased to conform to the pay of po-
lice officers of cities of the first class"
