EDGERToN. Wis.,, Sept. %, 1922.
In the effort on the part of indepen-
dent buyers to secure northern non-pool
tobacco, there is very little of new in
terest to tell. The thing that is all
interesting is the fact that buyers seem
to find growers who are free to sell;
but they find them, and some sales are
reported here and there every passing
week. In the southern counties nothing
has opened up so far. The nature of
the summer and the fact that none of
the big concerns who in former years
always have been among the first in
the field have not, to our knowledge,
bought single pound of the 1922 crop,
may have something to do with the re-
luctance of independent packers in
opening the southern campaign.
The harvest in every section is now
pretty we'll on the way toward the tail
end, though sizeable pieces still are
waiting to be shielded. The weather
of the latter part of last week and dur
ing the first of the present week has
been favorable to the harvest and the
tobacco has gone into the sheds under
ideal harvesting conditions. The wealth
er since the big rains has been too
chilly to add much spread to late
crops, though improvement is recorded.
The conditions for curing have also
been good and bright weather with
light, balmy air is doing its best to
further curing.
A letter from Houston, Minnesota,
states that growers in that section have
raised in the neighborhood of 100 acres.
Our correspondent says that the yield
and quality are satisfactory, and the
tobacco is absolutely sound mo hail, no
wind or other damage. About 20 acres
have been sold, the price holding be-
tween 20 and % cents with filters out
at 3 cents
No large movement in old tobacco
has been reported. Mr.. julius Marqu-
see has been In the state recently. 1t
is generally expected that he carries
with him some good game after he is
through. In the local market McIn-
tosh Bros. sold 800 cases, and We under
stand that the Harper Leaf Tobacco
Co. at Tomah disposed of its 1921.
Tobacco pool activities consist largely
in continued efforts at perfecting the
machinery of organization.

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. l3, 1922.
Recent rains have been of benefit to
the tobacco in such sections of the
country where it fell.
The new crop will be very uneven
and the weight will be below the aver
age, on account of the unfavorable con-
ditions under which it was grown. 1t
is claimed, too, that more was dam
aged by the several hail storms that
occurred than was generally supposed.
A prominent packer informed the
writer several days ago that number
of packers were of the opinion that 25
per cent of the crop had been more or
less hail-cut.
Cutting is going on generally, wheth-
er for fear of frost or because growers
fear more dry weather. .-Slade in Leaf.

~ NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 1922.
The Tobacco Journal views the cigar
leaf situation as follows:
The week in the leaf market has been
characterized by increased inquiry for
practically all grades. The usual lull
on account of holiday vacationing was
scarcely perceptible this year, as buy
ers are not losing any time getting
about the market The avalanche of
orders that has been swamping manu-
facturers in many parts of the country
has made trips to the New York mar
ket urgent. They had figured their
holdings ample for many months to
come. AS consequence, expressions
of regret are frequently heard that
wants were not anticipated at the time
when prices were more advantageous
and offerings, more ample in their as
sortments.

general manager, Fred B. Griffin, has
been taking the census of the avsilable

time that enough warehouses will be
offered to the Association to assort,
pack and sweat the 1922 crops.
The Association has practically de-
cided not to buy or bdild warehouses;
1t is pointed out that the articles of as
sociation did not provide for the pur-
chase of warehouses and that if any are
bought or built it would be done by the

in which William c. Lyons of Denver,
Colo, said Mr.. McAdoo had told him
that he would be a candidate for the
democratic presidential nomination in

Mr.. McAdoo was interviewed by a
representative of the Idaho Falls Post
aboard a log raft, "the McAdoo
special" upon which he and a party
of friends are making a ten-day
journey down the south fork of the
Snake river, spending their time hunt
ing and fishing.
There is nothing further from my
mind than return to public life"
Mr.. McAdoo told the newspaper man
as the raft was floating down the river
at point near Sulphur Bar. my
change of residence to California was
intended to remove me from and not
to inject me into politics"
McAdoo said that should he decide
to make run for the presidency he
would announce his candidacy direct

Il think more of the west than
do of the White house" Mr.. McAdoo
continued, Il am having q bully time

WHEAT RETURNS 25

ON CALAbAR FARM
Cumming Ranch Grows Best
Crop in Several Years,
Owner Declares.
Special TO The Tribune.

Special TO The Tribune.
Miles City, Sept Succeeding all
expectations, A. J. Cumming. rancher
and farmer in the Calabar district
about 16 miles east of this city, has
completed his threshing and is elated
over the returns, which, he declares,
are the best he has seen produced in
years.
In small grain the following esti-
mates are given by MI. Cumming: 125
acres of wheat will run from 20 to %
bushels to the acre; from 60 to 20
bushels to the acre is produced on 100
acres of oats, and barley will yield
only a fair crop. About 100 acres of
corn is maturing and will be well out
of the way of frost, he says.
The Cumming ranch is all under
irrigation. It comprises nearly 1000
acres of tillable land lying just north
of the Yellowstone river. Water is
supplied entirely by private plant
consisting of centrifugal pump which
is steam driven. Two booster pumps
assist in raising the water from the
river, and the cost is considered rea-
sonable.
Mr.. Cumming states that the cost OF
operation is less Lnau Il gravity Gitcn
arrangement, as water is always avail
able. no matter what the flow might
be in the Yellowstone. Fifty cents
per water foot per acre is the esti-
mated cost, according to Mr.. Cum
ming.
An interesting fact is developed In
that the Cumming ranch will event
ually be devoted to the raising of al
falfa, corn and hogs. A large acreage
was planted to alfalfa during the pres
ent year. There are now 400 hogs on
the place, says Mr.. Cumming in COM
menting on his future intentions. Last
year, he says. he sold off enough hogs
for an amount three times In excess Of
the investment and from the increase
has left the 400 head. which number
will be increased with added acreage
devoted to forage crops,

The principal difficulty over which
they are struggling is the selection Of
state chairman from the one or two
active candidates and several suggested
candidates. ]. D. Scanlan, of Miles

have the advantage and it is probable
that he will be continued in the office
during the ensuing two years, although
his candidacy has not been free from
obstacles.
1t had become generally understood
from Mr.. Scanlan's attitude that he
would not be seeker after the office

center upon o. A. Bergeson of Ger
