Hartford, July 30.-Another storm,
considerably more destructive in its
force than last weeks, swept over the
tobacco belt yesterday, causing dam
age to the extent of S250,OO0. Elling-
ton and Bloomfield suffered the most,
from hail and wind. As much damage
was done to the Shade-grown plants
as to the Broadleaf, as the covering
had not been entirely repaired after
last weeks storms. Growers say that
it would be useless to cut great part
of the crop which lay in the path of
the storm; the leaves are looking like
sieves, after the havoc played by the
hail.
1t was reported that the damage in
Ellington may cause loss of all to-
bacco within radius of one-half mile
from the centre of the town. The hail
stones were the largest in years. Our
local grower who was to commence
his cutting Tuesday, said today that
it would hardy be worth while, now.

Lancaster, July 27-It is evident
the 1920 crop of Lancaster county has
come into its own, for it continues to
sell.
The prices have ranged from TWEEN
ty-five to thirty cents a pound, with
more sold at the former than the lat
ter figure. A great deal of the crop
was sold by the growers at fifteen to
seventeen cents, and the buyers who
bought at those reasonable figures and
have already sold at twenty-five or
over have made good profit. The
dealers, who paid eighteen to twenty
cents, and the number who paid those
prices was not few, wo, ldn't get rich
selling for twenty-five cents. In fact,
it is doubtful whether any of the to-
bacco so far sold cost the packers
as much as eighteen to twenty
cents, for they could have made no
profit, and tobacco men are not in
business for their health alone.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERTON, Wis, Aug IL, 1921.

EDGEHTON, WIS.,. Aug IL, 1871.
Vernon county shared in the gentle
rain which fell week ago last Mon
day. The Vernon County Censor has
the follawing to say about the tobacco
stand: Tobacco will probably be about
half a normal crop. Most of the early
set has made what spread it could dur
ing the dry weather and is beyond hope
of making tip-top weed. The rain will
help the medium set to make good
weed, while the very late appears to
have slim chance of developing the
much desired size and quality"
In southern Wisconsin the cool nights
and dry, windy days of last week were
not beneficial to standing tobacco. The
early which now is topped has ripened
fast, and where it is grown on strong
and suitable soil it has good size,
though the acreage of this sort is
rather limited. Some of the earliest
fields were harvested the latter part of
last week, and quite number of acres
will move into the sheds during the
present week. The later paintings are
much in need of moisture, though many
fields are showing fair improvement in
size, if not in color, and the slow plants
in the uneven fields are hanging back.
Nature is not backing up the efforts of
the growers this year in the way they
had hoped. Nice local showers We'd
nesday will help.
Some 1920 stemming tobacco is
bought from week to week in several
sections. The prices have been to z
cents with filters out at 2 and cents.
There is plenty to draw from

New York

New York, July 28.-EvidenceS are
plentiful that the general buying
strike in the trade which has been in
evidence for nearly a year is about
over. Water street reports a spon-
taneous demand for almost all types
of tobacco, and the past week has
been one of genuine activity. One
firm disposed of approximately 5000
cases of filters and 9 large quantity of
primed wrappers. Other houses, not
ably Havana importers, report a
quickened demand from the manufac-
turers who are evidently about at the
bottom of the bin with res beet to raw
materials. While for the most part
the transactions have been small, the
aggregate volume of sales has been
considerably above any single week of
1921.-Journal.
There has been no noteworthy
change in any quarter of the cigar
leaf market during the past week, nor
is there any very tangible promise of
Improvement for sometime to come.
The comment of one packer in sum-
ming up the situation seems to be
fairly descriptive of the entire mark
ct: eve have just as many orders
right now as we ever had at this seas
on of the year but they are painfully
small as to quantity when compared
with what we would consider norm
al business.'-Leaf.

CALIFORNIA LEADS
 IN ARTICHOKE YIELD

By International News Service)
 SAN FRANCISCO, June 30 Fam ed for her nlts, fruits and vegetables, California has stiff competition from other states in all but one line.
 That is the business of growing ebidle thistles-that is to say, arti- chokes. Only the climate and soil of California have proven successful in turning this giant thistle into deli have been made elsewhere, but to no avail, and even in California the arti- choke is particular about it's home. In fact all artichokes grown for ship ment come from a small section down the coast from San Francisco-the rich black loam territory of Half Moon bay and similar sections. Bay and similar sections.
 And this one agricultural monopoly in growing thistles has developed into ,a business giving a return of approXi- mately $1,5OO0O0 annually. ApproXi- mately 500 carloads were shipped last year, the artichokes bringing $3,- 900 carload.
 The choice artichokes sell at twen- ty-five cents each wholesale, thus lord ing it over apples, oranges, raisens or other famed products of the Golden State. Of the 500 cars $50 were sold in Eeastern markets and 150 on the Pacific coast.
 The artichoke is really the bud of an immense purple flower of Mediter- ranean origin, delightfully."- scented and beloved by the bees.

WEALTHY WOMAN USES AIRPLANE FOR VISITING
 AND TO GO SHOPPING
(By International News Service)

(By International News Service)
 SAN FRANCISCO, June. - The day of aerial limousines is no longer thing of the future. It is a reality.
 Home, James," That is what Mrs w. K. Keddie, owner of string of valuable Nevada ranches told her aerial chauffeur the other day when she suddenly decided to return to Reno, Nevada.
 Mrs. Keddie, who has long been an enthusiast of aviation and travels al. most entirely by airplane, called her piolt by telephone and said: Lets leave at 2 o'clock" w. w. Williams is Mrs. Keddie's pilot.
 Mrs. Keddie, who acts as manager for her several ranches and calls Fal- Ion, Nevada, her home, purchased the machine some time ago to be. used in travelling between her ranches. She found 1t so successful that when she deemed it necessary to remain in San Francisco on business she telephoned for the plane that she might finish af- fairs here and still return to Reno in time to meet business appointments there.
 At each of the ranches she has in- stalled landing field and a system of lighting has also been established in event of night flyingg. However, Mrs. Keddie has done little night fly ing. Mrs. Keddie said she expects to to take vacation this summer-an aerial one-in which she exjects to visit New York and other Eastern cities.

ARM0RED AIR
 GIANTS BEING
 CONSTRUCTED

(By International News Service)
 LONDON, June 30.-At an aero drome on the outskirts of Londor there is now being constructed the first armored car of the skies. | Designed by one of the most fam ous builders in England, the ma chine has been ordered by the ai1 ministry and when completed will be thoroughly tested by specially select ed service pilots.
 The utmost secrecy is being main tained, and even the few men who are making the machine do not kno V for what purpose it is to be used.
 Unlike most of the newly-invented service machines, this newest is a monoplane. In the construction of the fuselage no canvas or bracing 1 wires are being used at all. The framework is of spruce, and instead of doped linen three-ply wood is be. ing used.
 This, it is understood, is to be covered with armor plates, which l will be extended to give the fullest maximum protection to the engines
 The inside of the fuselage is par. ticularly roomy, so that the fullest number of bombs can be carried.
 An entirely new and significant feature is the introduction of a spe cial gun platform near the tail planes. A short ladder runs up from the floor of the fuselage to this, and from this cockpit the gunner would be able to keep at bay any enemy craft that attacked from the rear.
 There are also to be machine guns fitted amidships and fired by means of the propeller.
 Thus it will be seen that the monopla1e will be as thoroughly and efficiently armed as tank
 The machine guns are so arranged that there will be no blind spot and those at the rear of the machine are on swivel mountings. This is a practical advantage, as in the old days aerOplanes had some difficulty in dealing with machines that were behind them, and that was the req son why every pilot endeavored to get "on the tail" of an enemy.
 Altogether, the new machine which ! is to be fitted with a new type of wing that allows it to rise wi4l amazing rapidity, will be far in ad vance of any warplane that has yet l been invented.
