CUT TOBACCO ACREAGE

The stagnation which has character
lied the tobacco market has hit the
grower as hard as it has hit anyone
interested in the industry. The Wis
consin grower is no exception. A very
large acreage of the 1920 crop is still
held by the farmers, either on the
farm premises or in the cooperative
warehouses. considerable 1919 is still
stored in the state, and smaller lots OF
1918, and even 1917 While the STEM
ming concerns have been and are eat
ing into the type of holdings they
want. there is such an abundance to
take from that the prospects of a
cleanup of old Wisconsin tobacco are
quite remote.
1t is true that the type of binders
most desired by the manufacturers OF
cigars is not present in any great
abundance, though the movement even
in this goods has been depressingly
slow, holding out no prospects of de-
cent profits to the packers. That
there will be a call for this goods as
soon as the cigar business again finds
its pace, seems 70 Re che opinion OF the
best informed. But the B leaf pre-
sents q state looking like an oversup-
ply in Wisconsin. This type OF to-
bacco grown during the past two years
is now selling at prices which In many
cases do not cover the cost Of pro-
duction. To go on growing another
large crop next year with the easy
possibility of materially increasing the
stock of BIS does not seem good sense.
1t will surely not benefit the growers;
on the contrary it has a tendency TO
act depressingly upon prices OF other
and more valuable types OF cigar Leaf.
Under heseconditionsi would seem
good policy on the part Of the growers
to reduce their tobacco acreage ma
terially during the 1922 season.
