LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. Z, 1920.
Commenting upon the rather conflict
ing opinions which have been expressed
regarding the quality of Pennsylvania s
bumper crop, a prominent Water Street
packer who has followed this crop from
planting to harvest, makes the follow
ing summary, says the Leaf:
1.-THE 1920 Pennsylvania crop is not
only one of the largest ever produced
in that section, but as nearly ideal in
every respect as tobacco crop can be.
1t can not be classified as a wet wealth
er crop, as the wet weather came when
the crop was still growing and not
after its development had been attain
ed. The leaves will be somewhat thin
ner than is usual with Pennsylvania to-
bacco but this should prove distinct
advantage, as manufacturers show a
decided preference for open grain, me-
dunn weight tobacco of this variety.
1t is true that there is considerable
pole-rot, dne to the over-erowded con-
dition of the sheds, but there is nothing
very appalling in this fact AS far as
I can see now there will be no buying
of this crop until December or Janu-
ary, or in other words before the strip
ping season. There is an enormous
quantity of good tobacco, and I am rea-
sonably certain that the big manufac-
turers who usually set the price for
Pennsylvania tobacco are not disposed
to pay long price for their supplies
this year. Even at prices considerably
lower than those which prevailed last
year, the growers would net an equally
satisfactory return. The yield of wrap
per grades last year was approximately
1000 pounds to the acre. The average
price pal the grower was % cents.
This year the average quantity of
wrapper grades is easily 1400 pounds to
the acre. Therefore even at very
much lower price than % cents the
grower would still net as substantial
return. / do not say that the farmer
will receive less for his crop this year,
but he certainly will receive no more.
and as / have pointed out, he would
still be well repaid even if prices were
somewhat lower"

NEW YORK, Oct. z, 1920.
Water Street packers see no prospect
of any renewal of buying activity in the
growing districts of either the East or
West until the tobacco is in the bundle.
The harvest in all sections is practically
completed and all reports indicate that
curing weather is very favorable, says
the Leaf. The active demand for the
new Java wrappers offered by the vari-
Gus importers, and the notable pur-
chases made by an important group of
manufacturers who visited the leaf
market, constituted the center of in
terest in the Water Street circles dur
ing the past week. The movement of
the fancy light grades of the new Su-
matra is also reported as fairly active,
and importers entertain no doubt that
a sustained and healthy demand for the
better grades will continue, in spite of
the high range of prices which they
must of necessity demand. Importers
point out that while the purchases of
the 1919 crop of Sumatra wrappers, in
Guiding all grades, totals approximately
40, 900 bales, the quantity of fine light
tobaccos is no larger than that obtain
ed from the normal importation of from
25, 900 to 10000 bales, as fully 19, 600
bales of this total contributed nothing
to the percentage of fine light wrap
pers, but was composed largely of
lower grade tobaccos, including many
marks never before brought into this
market. At the same time it is an es-
tablished fact that the 1920 crop will
be very short one, with the percent
age of fine tobaccos correspondingly
limited

EDGERToN. Wis. Oct. %, 1920.

EDGERTON, Wis. Oct. %, 1920.
When it is quiet in the 1920 Wiscon-
sin tobacbo market, a condition is re-
fiected which prevails in all tobacco
growing areas. In Pennsylvania a lit
tie cautious picking away at the 1920
crop is reported with prices we'll up,
but in all other tobacco growing states,
and even in Cuba, the buying of new
leaf is at a practical standstill. The
eastern tobacco merchants are sitting
tight, evidently not because they have
become frightened at some impending
calamity hanging over the tobacco in
dustry, nor because they see an over
stocking of the market, for there is
not-very little old leaf is available;
but because prudence dictates that in a
period when the industrial and business
chariot is moving with the brakes on,
it is no time to call for greater speed.
AS the months go by the brakes will be
released under the stimulus of easier
money and stronger demand, and the
car will again move at free gait. The
local market will loosen up when the
general market does.
The greater humidity which the last
and this week brought is doing much
good to tobacco hanging in the sheds,
but there has not been enough of it to
move any quantity of the cured leaf
from the lath to the bundle. The late
harvested tobacco needs a thorough
softening; it dried, but it did not cure
properly, but repeated damps will bring
it around. While local men are pick
ing crop now and then in the north
ern section, the 1920 is not cleaned up,
though practically all leafy crops are
sold. The sampling of the 1919 contin-
ues and it is proving very satisfactory

ONE LINE LIGHTS
 AN ENTIRE STATE

Some idea of the extraordinary de- velopment of the utilities of Illinois was given the country at large, when it was announced that the Central H. linois Public Service company had ahoolxed upp the last link in a high power transmission line which is now 1855 miles long and joins the four states Of Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana and Iowa. This single line crosses 31 counties. It starts at the hydroelectric development at Keol1uk, la, crosses Illinois to Paris, H., and from that point runs east to Terre haute. Ind, thence south to Edwardsville, Ind, and on down to Louisville, Ky This big transmission line has made possible the abandonment of scores of small town plants that were inefficient.

SMILE AWHILE
By Lee Kingston

At one time in the days that were, I knew a certain character who all called Boozer Brown; his ruddy face was round and fat, he always wore a white plug hat about our little town. For Brown the days were never dull. he used to keep three quarters full and merry was his eye: no evil in old Boozer lurked but if he ever really worked, he did it on the sly.
 His voice was soft, his manner mild he was the friend of every child; he'd always find a dime to buy a little lad a top, to fix a broken toy he'd stop, he was not pressed for time.
 I don't suppose he ever went to church, but he would pay the rent of some old friendless crone who, all good having come to doubt, could always find the latch string out where Boozer lived alone.
 At length he died and from afar came strangers in a private car to bear old Brown away They blushed at his suggestive name and murmured of his peoples shame; we children knelt to pray.
 Now I don't know what Boozer did in that dim, unknown past he hid or what his sad renown, but when his kin died full of years, I wonder if such heartfelt tears fell as for Boozer Brown.

Electricity has placed within the public's reach the forces of nature for comfort and convenience. It has brought the power Of the cataract to fingertip control. It has brought safe light and safe heat and refreshing cool ness to millions of homes. It is always in stock for instant delivery.

It supplies illumination for the home; it washes the clothes and irons them easily: it cleans the house; it heats the electric range or cooks food in a chafing dish; 1t makes tea in D samo- var; it toasts bread just right and per colates coffee; it runs the sewing ma chine and does many other useful things.
