LANCASTER, PA, June s, 1921.
The hunt for unsold lots of the 1920
crop still goes on, and from all reports
any kind of tobacco finds purchaser
OF course, the prices differ as to grades
but certainly prices have stiffened.
Holders of what Enthusiastically is good
tobacco are asking 20 cents, but will
probably be glad enough to sell before
this month ends at something less than
that. The packers are now busy with
their purchases and most of the ware
houses are busy packing the tobacco.
Plenty of guessing is being done as to
how it will eventually turn out, but
opinions differ widely The inspection
of some early packings shows the to-
bacco to be in good condition, but the
later tobacco may not give such results,
and certainly it is too early to Judge
what the tobacco will be like for cigars.
The planting of the new crop will be in
full swing the middle of this month,
unless an unusually cold spell of wealth
er prevails, but planting will still be in
progress up to July /, for there are
quite number of growers who are par
tial to late planting, says the Leaf

The twenty-third annual convention
of the National Cigar Leaf Tobacco
Association, which closed today, will go
down in the annals of the organization
as one of the most pleasant and thor
oughly constructive and profitable ses-
sions in the history of the association.
The outstanding problem confronting
the delegates was the difficult matter
of unifying the somewhat conflicting
units of the association into harmon
ious stand upon the tariff question
With commendable lack of bitterness
and tolerant appreciation of the prac-
tical considerations which inspires the
advocates of protective tariff rate on

tariff increase, in majority in. the or

their desired end without sacrifice Of
