Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EpGERToN. Wis. Feb. q, 1920

EDGERToN, Wis. Feb. q, 1920
There is not much change in the sit
uation since last week, except that the
available supply of tobacco delivered is
shrinking fast. In some asserting CEN
ters some warehouses have been obliged
to close. In Edgerton they are still
running, but with small crews. Very
little tobacco has been received during
the past week. The weather continues
cold. If the wind swings into the moist
quarter, it never blows from that di-
rection long enough to soften things.
The prevailing winds are from the dry
west and north. The Reporter has
mentioned the inconveniences which
must be borne both by growers and
1t does not happen often that case
weather is deferred as late as this. but
it has happened before. The tempta-
tion at such times is to try to bring the
leaf down and get it cased without hav-
ing sufficient natural moist. This
should be avoided. AS long as we have
the chances for moisture are very good,
just 80 that the temperature rises and
stays up long enough to give the air a
chance to circulate through the sheds.
With the lengthening days and the
general tendency of this season of the
year to bring moist weather, there is
no reason to despair. Some more ware
houses may have to close before the
end of the week, and some farmers
may, temporarily. have to borrow a
little money to meet contracts which
come due March first, until they can
deliver their. tobacco. But the chances
are good that before March gets very
old, the conditions will let the tobacco
come down and remove the present
feeling of disappointment. Added re-
ports on the amount of tobacco deliv-
cred throughout the state confirm the
estimates made by The Reporter last
week An average for the state of
about 80 per cent of the crop in the
hands of the packers is pretty correct
estimate. Tobacco men are remarking
about the similarity of this season with
the corresponding one Of 1904, and to
some extent with that of 1907 08 Jas

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. II, 1

A4ANGA0xGhe 1A.s HcD.' 4As AOAV.
The Lancaster county crop is prac-
tieally lifted. Less than 10 per cent is
left sasold. Eighteen to 20 cents is
the price on this remnant. Few indi
vidual growers have packed their own
crops. The 1920 acreage will depend
on the labor situation. The growers
are satisfied with this years price, and
if the labor supply does not fail the
acreage will be about the same as last
year. The Lancaster Tobacco Grow
ers' association, which met last week,
again stood for the policy of packing
and selling direct to the manufacturer;
though, as a matter of fact, most
growers have cold to individual packers
this season The growers take advant
age eff circumstances and sell, or pack
as they find it most profitable at the
tina.

HUNGRY CHINESE USE
LEAVES FOR FOOD
HAVE STRIPPED TREES IN FAM
me DISTRICTS. SITUATION
GROWS WORSE.

More than 2O,OOO,OOO people in
Southern China are suffering from the
most severe famine that the Far East
has faced in nearly half century
information received from the stricken
districts show that reports of the dis
tress have not been exaggerated.
Relief work for the famine suffer
ers has been undertaken energetically
by both Chinese and foreign organiza-
tions. One of the latter is an Ameri-
can committee to raise and distribute
funds, which was organized on the
initiative of Charles r. Crane, Ameri-
can minister to China.
No Harvests in Famine District.
Missionaries have reported that por-
tions of several provinces are v1r-
tually without any harvests. Even
the trees had been stripped of their
leaves for food.
One missionary reported the selling
of children common. Babes have been
found deserted on the streets and some
have been rescued from rivers. Peo-
pie are trying to make marriages for
their daughters, even very young girls
Another missionary said there is moth
ing growing on the farm lands. Nc
one could be seen working in the fields
and almost no one travelling along the
roads. The people have either left OF
remain in the villages, conserving en-
ergy as much as possible.

IA BULL BANKRUPTS
TWO men AND BANK
THOUGHT THEY WERE ON WAY
TO FORTUNE WHEN THEY
BOUGHT 100000 ANIMAL.

ROCKFORD, Ill.-Down Dixon way
they are telling the story of how a
bull bankrupted two men and broke
the Dixon Union State Bank.
Red Apple Thorndyke VIII, the
BULL was offered for 100000. Elmer
]. Countryman, the cashier of the
bank, and Edwin Depeweller, a far
mer, formed a partnership. They paid
$4,000 on the purchase price.
The female progeny of Red Apple,
the bull dispensers told the syndicate,
would be record milk producers. One
cow daughter of Red, was given a
test. Her milk was about 200 above
par, but it is alleged that some enc
poured a cup or two of cream into
the pail after milking time.
Red came to be in great demand,
but his daughters were squibs. Re-
turns on the investment were not
enough to pay interest charges, so the
partners went into bankruptcy.
Countryman's liabilities are 1922 :
TO, his assets $198,863. Depeweller's
liabilities are $198,S63, his assets $751;
483. Enumerated among the assets of
the two is a claim for $4,000 against
the former owners of the bull.
The population of Dixon was star
tied therefore when a "Closed" sign
was hung over the Union State Bank.

LEE GRAND JURY
SHAKES THINGS UP
NUMEROUS INTERESTING REC
COMBINATIONS MADE IN THE
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS.

LEESBURG, Ga.-The rece n t
grand jury made thorough investl-
cation of the affairs of Lee County,

among the most interesting ever re-
ported to the court here.
Among the recommendations made
by that body were the following:
"That funds to the amount OF
S773.38 belonging to the county hav-
ing been used by Mr.. Coxwell, sheriff

missioners, and G. A. Wallace, clerk OF

and S28O.19 of the above amount has
never. been collected, be collected with
interest at once.
eve recommend that our county
commissioners attention be called to
the deplorable condition Of our tax
digest and that the commissioners EN-
ploy such means as necessary to purge
our tax digest and clear it of such
names if possible, and that the tax II
fas on hand be turned over to some
one to collect on a percentage oasis
"Hon. E. B. Lee, chairman OF coun-
tv commissioners, having resigned as
such, we have named Mr.. S. j. Yeo-
mans for the unexpired term OF Mr..
Lee, and name Mr.. Yeomans as chair
man of the board. There also appear
ing to be another vacancy created by
Mr.. R. S. Pryor's time having explr--
ed we name Mr.. Steve Cox to succeed
him.
eve recommend that a sworn item
lied statement be issued to the COM
missioners for an exhorbitant repair
bill of some $500 more or less on one
Fordson tractor now in possession OF
M. C. HUE of Albany.
eve also recommend that the COM
missioners require Mr.. Wallace, our
clerk, to refund some $4,000 of coun,
ty funds, same being bill presented
by Mr.. Wallace to board of county
commissioners for filing the official
organ of the county, and which we
are advised by the superior court So
iicitor should not have been paid, as
there is now law providing for pay
ment of such BILL"

Election While Behind Cell Bars.
WHITESBORQ, Ky.-Probably the
most unusual outcome of the recent

of Tess Whitaker. jailer of Whites

six months by Judge Combs on the
charge of attacking county officers,
including the sheriff.
After being placed in the Jail of
which he was the legal keeper Whita-
ker escaped, was recaptured and again
sentenced for jail breaking. Follow
ing one of the most exciting cam
paigns known to the mountains of
Kentucky, Whitaker, though in jail,
won over Judge Combs by more than
1000 majority. Gov. Morrow has
three times refused to pardon Whita-
ker.
