LEAVES FOR WORK IN FRANCE

Lorne w. Barclay, director Of the
national council. department Of Edu-
cation, Boy Scouts Of America, has
again been loaned for the summer to
the American committee for devastated
France of which Miss Anne Morgan
is chairman Mr.. Barclay sailed for
France In May and will there direct
five scout camps. This work is prov
ing q notable contribution to the up
building Of war-stricken France. AS
Mr.. Barclay said In his recent report:
'4These boys lived in ruined homes;
they have been out Of school for five
years; there Is no place for them TO
find companionship In their villages
unless they go to the wine shops
They have suffered so much that they
are undeveloped physically and mental
ly, yet they crave good wholesome edu-
cation and recreation. They only ask
the chance TO grow into manhood with
all the best scout ideals Of courage,
; self-denial, honesty and endurance"
Many boy scout troops in the Uni
ted States have contributed s25 each,
which means that each troop viii have
as Its guest at one Of the camps, a
French boy, who will not only gain
immeasUrably himself by the expert
ence, but who will also go home car
rying the message Of scouting with
him to reach other boys and the COM
munity.

sAVE-THE-FoREsT CAMPAIGN.

AS soon as President Harding ap
pointed May % to % as Forest Pres
ervation week, the Boy Scouts Of
America Immediately offered their
services in promotion Of the cause ia
which they have all along been def.
nirely committed. When the secre-
tary OF agriculture wrote requesting
the cooperation Of the organization
the national council, through its chief
scout executive, gladly accepted the
task and urged its scout leaders all
over the country to get busy at once.
The plan is to have every scout troop
promise TO plant trees and care for
them, as many have been doing for
some years past, TO spread forest fire
prevention propaganda throughout the
country and get as many people as pos
sible in and out of the scout move
nsnt actively enlisted in this impOr

LANCASTER, PA, June Is, 1921.
A.. M. Slade in Leaf comments as fol-
lows: Nobody knows now what the
packers are going to get for their 1920
packings, for by the time it is ready
for marketing trade conditions may
have changed greatly. 1t is known
that the early bulk sweated tobacco is
doing nicely, and so far appears to
show very few signs of black rot, which
the buyers feared so much, because the
crop was harvested after such unfavor-
able ripening conditions. Nothing as
yet can be ascertained about the late
harvested crops The most optimistic
packers, however, are inclined to be-
lieve that more real good tobacco will
be found in this tobacco than was ex-
pected. The early packed shows good
color and is mild, and there may be
more wrapper tobacco than at first sup
posed.
Not much of, the new crop pow re-
mains unsold as it is so scattered and is
being quietly gathered up by many
dealers, each getting few crops.
ALI sorts of prices are being paid,
though it may be said that it has paid
only few growers to hold on to their
crops so long. So little has been pack
ed by growers that it is really not
worth considering.

The domestic leaf market shows no
marked improvement in activity, Water
Street houses report rather pronounc-
ed increase in the number of inquiries
received for various types of leaf dur
ing the past two weeks, which, while
not always resulting in business, at
least indicate some revival of interest
in leaf stocks and may possibly fore
shadow the coming of genuine i'm
provement in demand. Apart from a
fairly active movement in stripped
Porto Rico filters, old Sumatra and
Primed tobaccos, practically every
quarter of the market is more or less
at standstill, says Tobacco Leaf. The
interest centers about the Sumatra in
scriptions which are in progress. 1t is
estimated that no more than $4,000
bales of the type desired by Americans
will be taken The prices rule high,

Hartford, CT, June 16, 1921.
A twenty-five mile wind storm played
havoc with the crops in Suffield, Wind
sor and East Hartford Wednesday
night, causing considerable damage and
necessitating the resetting of many
thousand plants The principal loss
came through the ripping off and de-
struction of shade cloth. The Hattie
way & Steane Co. lost the cloth cover
ing from 200 acres and all the other
producers of shade tobacco suffered
severely from the same cause. The
total amount of damage has not been
estimated, but it is not so large, of
course. as it would have been had the
storm come in July after the crops had
got larger growth. However, old
Suffield tobacco growers declare that it
is the worst June storm in their recol-
lection. .-Tob. Journal.

Copious showers last Saturday and
Sunday have put the growers to work
resetring the fields washed and che
plants killed by the great heat during
the past two weeks. Monday the fields
were thoroughly soaked and in good
condition for replanting. The fields
first planted show remarkably even
stand, well rooted; and now since the
moisture and moderate temperature
have come, the growth of a strong and
healthy plant is assured during the
next ten days. The later paintings had
unusually dry and hot weather to con-
tend with, and considerable replanting
will be necessary. The cut worm which
during the dry weather showed very
little activity may start to give trouble,
but it is not thought that the loss from
this cause will be nearly as heavy as
has been experienced during years in
the past. The transplanting from the
beds to the open field is practically fin
ished. A few belated patches here and
there are seen; but this season will
have minimum quantity of late to-
hacco. The report from every section
of the state where tobacco is raised is
to the effect that the first two weeks
paintings are looking exceptionally
we'll, especially as to the evenness of
the stand. The last planting may in
this respect lack somewhat, but the
late rains will do much to boost these
fields.
Packers of the 1920 are early in get
ting supplies for the sampling season.
During the last month most of the ship
ments of old tobacco have been in case
lots, about Is cases to the shipment as
rule. Last week one carload of cases
was billed for New York from this
point. Four cars of bundles were re-
ceived and four shipped out.
In the movement of leaf out of first
hands there is nothing new of interest
to record for the week.

says, June %: "Ideal weather for re-
setting in this section. Rains Saturday

Prices of Farm Crops Below
Pre-War Average.

The prices of six of the important
crops on May 1 of this year were be-
low the prewar average prices for
that date, according to figures col
lected by the Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, United States Department of
Agriculture. These crops are corn,
oats, barley, flax, potatoes and cot
ton. The report showed that the
prices of the three grains-wheat, rye
and uckwheat-were above the pre-
war average prices. During April the
average price of wheat declined from
$1.50 to $1.25 per bushel: The report
shows that in general the industrial
crops, such as flax, cotton and broom
corn, are the most depressed in price,
and that food crops, such as wheat,
rye, potatoes, and apples, show rela-
lively less decline.
The prices in various parts of the
country vary, with South Dakota pc
ing the center of the low-price dis
trict, the May 1 report shows. The
average price of wheat in that State
was 80 cents per bushel, and in some
counties it was as low as TO cents.
Corn was selling at an average price
of 80 cents per bushel in South Da-
kota, while the average price for the
United States was nearly go cents.
The price of oats was % cents per
bushel in South Dakota, the average
for the United States being 36.S
cents. The report showed big de-
cline in the price of old potatoes, es-
pecially in Michigan, where the aver
age was 29 cents bushel, which was
20 cents below the average for the
United States.
