LANCASTER, Pa, Nov 21, 1920
Some growers have taken umbrage
over the statement that pole-rot exists
among the new crop, and to the publi-
cation of the dealers declaration that
they will not pay the prices demanded
by the growers. The growers them
selves have admitted that unfavorable
weather had caused some pole-rot, but
naturally they prefer to minimize its
extent. The dealers are about the last
persons to take any satisfaction out OF
the existence of pole-rot, because that
would mean less tobacco for them. The
growers who say that the dealers have
circulated this report to bring down
prices certainly do not look at the mat
ter from the proper angie.
Prices will not depend on any pub
lished figures, but on the value the
dealers put on the tobacco. A promi-
nent grower of Manor township, who
had out 25 acres, and it made good
crop, replying to question as TO the
prices that would be paid, smiled .as he
answered, 1.-THE growers will take just
what market conditions warrant" And
the packers say they will pay whatever
the goods>are worth to them. Leaf.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERToN. Wis. Dec. 10, 1920


At Viroqua, Westby and other north
ern points considerable tobacco is being
delivered The early reports as to the
size and quality of the leaf are confirm
ed by the lots now delivered. 1t is a
leafy crop, good texture and color and
the right amount of gum. If the price
paid for it was unusual. due to several
causes which it is not necessary to re-
peat here, the appearance of the leaf
as it looks in the bundle promises un-
usual binder value. On the whole the
tobacco is coming in good shape. no
vets and no shed damage, though it
has been necessary here and there to
make adjustments in crops where the
filler end had not been fully separated.
Considerable of the northern tobacco
bought by men operating warehouses
in the southern part CT the state will
be shipped down and assorted here. In
Stoughton, Janesville and Edgerton
very little receiving will be done be-
fore the holidays, but with the coming
of the new year the asserting season
will open in earnest. In Edgerton the
following firms are ready to start the
first week in January: The American
Sumatra Tobacco Co., Eisenlohr, Gen
eral Cigar Co., G. FL. Spitzner & Son,
sNels Nelson, Mcintosh Bros, Charles
Sweeney & Sons, w. Dickinson, A.
Jenson Il Son.
Sales:from first hand are so scarce that
they constitute no indication of what
the market is going to be when it again
opens, and no one is willing to venture
guess as to when or how it will open.
This uncertainty, if it is not relieved
very soon, may lead number of grow
ers to assort the crop on the farm as
they did years ago. The help situation
is growing to be favorable for such a
move. The weather conditions for
stripping continue to be most favorable.
Torkel Fosberg on the w. Scofeld
farm has sold his 1920 crop for Zoe,
filters out at SC. About 80 acres has
been taken recently south and east of
Edgerton, the price ranging 18 to zoe.

NEW L ORAs ANONs Gt, AOENs
Notwithstanding the fact that the
arrival of the inevitable readjustment
period, with it's attendant trials and
difficulties, has had it's naturally slack
ening effects upon the cigar leaf indus
try, Water Street may still draw up to
the Thanksgiving board this year in a
spirit of genuine gratitude for benefits
received and disasters avoided, is the
sentiment4ofs the Tobacco Leaf. A fe-
view of the market conditions points
out the many things which have favor
ed the tobacco industry during the per-
iod of buoyant activity in the past, and
which give assurance of fundamentally
stable conditions in the future, in spite
of the unavoidable influence upon the
tobacco industry Of the general reces-
sive pressure felt in all lines Of busi-
ness throughout the country. The opin-
ion of the Water Street market seems
to be that any buying movement of the
unsold leaf in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin is not likely to start until
after the holidays some time in Janu-
airy or February, although the large
manufacturing concerns have given no
Indication of what their intentions are.
The farmers in all sections seem to be
gradually coming to the realization that
the unsettled state of general condi-
tions is certain to have decidedly de-
pressing effect upon their holdings, and
that the high prices hoped for earlier
in the season are undoubtedly out OF
the question. That he will reap fair
profit is generally conceded, but Ger.
tainly not the extravagant margin re.
cent boom years have trained him tc
expect.

indications point to busy packing sea-

Co. and other companies are we'll along
with the handling of Shadegrown, and
before many weeks some OF it will be

There remains hanging in the sheds
at this time a large amount of Sun
grown leaf, and growers are now anx-
iousiy waiting for damp The Sun
grown crop is turning out better than
early estimates indicated. The crop
experienced an excellent curing season,
free from pole sweat and other inferior
qualities.
While the bulk of the New England
crop has been lifted at exceedingly good
prices, there are still many crops of un-
sold Broadleaf.

EYE HAS GREAT sENsITlWT
Wonderful Human Organ Capable of
Adapting Itself TO Any Possible
Circumstances.

On entering a dark room after a
stay In the outside daylight the eye
at once begins to Increase In sensi-
tfvity. At first this increase appears to
be slow, but after five minutes the In
crease is quite rapid, the eye aequir-
ing a sensitivfty several hundred times
It's initial value. After 80 min
utes' sojourn In the dark the SENSITIVE
ity still Increases. but more slowly
than before, and after 40 minutes or
an hour the maximum sensitivity is
reached. The final sensitivity varies
slightly with different people, but IN
fully adapted condition the eye is eas.
fly 5000 or 10000 times more sensitive
than Ii was ar the beginning.
These facts are obtained from O
study of the sensitiveness OF the eye
In the dark made by Selig Hecht Of
Creighton university, Omaha, and pub
nshed In the Journal OF General
Physiology. Mr.. Hecht's study goes
to show that the increased sensitive
ness Is due to reversible photochem
ical reaction within the retina, involv
ing q photosensftive substance and III
two products of decomposition.

EXPLOSIONS CAUSED BY DUST
Investigation Has Proved That Grain
is by No Means the Only De-
skruetive Agent

When the bureau of chemistry OF
the United States department Of agTi-
culture started Investigations with the
object OF reducing fires and explosions
caused by dust in the grain elevators
and mills 1T was not long before the
experts realized these fires and explo-
sfons were by no means confined to
the grain business. These dust-explo-
sion investigations are having wide
influence, which has extended to many
industries. Aluminium dust, starch
and even fish meal, by-product of
fish canneries, have all been found
susceptible TO the conditions which
produce disastrous explosions.
The latest development goes to
prove that the mysterious blow
sacks" so well known TO dremen are In
some cases caused by dust. With the
knowledge of this fact as a guide
many fatal accidents may be avoided
The fremen OF America find the mat.
ter OF sufficient Importance TO war

partment Of agriculture in study ID

Speed and curves are two assets In
the session-temporarily-of many
young baseball pitchers. The battling
lads who are able to move up from the
bush leagues into the major leagues
have two qualities on top of speed and
curves. These are endurance and con-
troll, says Chicago News. That is to
say, they do not go to pieces or take
sudden slumps or make wild throws
or get glass arms from foolish hurI-
ing or from personal habits that are
injurious. So In public life, In bust
ness. among the workers. it is easy
to find the young fellow who has speed
and curves-today. The young fellow
who can be counted on for speed and
curves tomorrow, however, is hard to
pick. Endurance and control are the
two qualities difficult to ind In con-
junction with speed and curves. This
Is an equation In human character that
engages the thought Of educators the
world over. Stated In terms Of base
ball, it is not complex

later yields from field and orchard,
with the big American -four credit
still available for the ration of daily
bread have given Austria reprieye
from the terrible hardships of last
winter.
Fats are as scarce as ever, however,
but in this gracious weather their
need is not so keenly felt. Meat, too,
is scanty and high, beyond reach of
the masses. The American -four

winter sets fairly IN and no man in
Austria knows from where or by

Strikes and disturbances in the
Teschen coal fields, the situation in
Silesia, virtual suspension of of the
Hungarian supply. little as it was
and, finally, Austria's inability to en-
force even the meagre contractural
supplies from Bohemia, have pre-
