Wis. TOBACCO NEWS
CLEANED FROM THE WISCONSIN
TOBACCO REPORTER

The interest in old packings contin-
use. The 1921 held in warehouses in
the southern section as well as the
lots held by growers on farm premises
are not abundant by any means. and
the remnants still unsoId are eyed bv
interested parties. The same is true
of the balance of 1920. The packers.
Jobbers and manufacturers know pref
ty well where the unsold goods is, the
amount of it and the asking price of
it.
The lull in the 1922 campaign for
non-Pooa tobacco is partly due to the
fact that the field has been pretty
well picked over for leafy and quality
crops.
In the southern counties, according
10 the best figures obtainable. about
700 acres were sold up to the first of
the week, of which stemming grades
represented considerably more than
one-half. This type has been bought
IN sections of Columbia Dane and Rock
counties from 0rfordville south to
Rio north. The prices for stemming
vary between and cents according
to the nature of the crops. For cigar
leaf the 10 to % cent outside figures
reported two weeks ago leave the ay-
erage price around the Is cent mark.
Two spells of moist weather have
been very beneficial to hanging to-
bacco. The casing up, when fair and
mild weather follows, adds to the fin
ish of the leaf A little tobacco was
taken down of the early, and growers
who were seen after bundling are well
pleased with the quality and finish
of the leaf. As soon as a damp of
sufficient duration to give the tobacco
the desirable kind of Cease" visits the
tobacco sections after this, the grow
ers will go to it in full earnestness.
The headquarters of the Pool have
sent out printed instructions to the
stockholders advising them how the
Pool wants its tobacco stripped and
bundled. In these instructions there
is nothing new or startling, unless it
should be the request that the late to-
bacco should be stripped first. If all
the growers will strip, clean out and
bundle their tobacco as well as the
best handlers have done in the past,
everything will be satisfactory, and
this should be adopted for the perma-
nent good of the trade.
