Ketonen is the admitted middle
weight champion, though he weighs
usually around 1855 pounds. 1t is his
custom to give away many pounds,
even taking on heavyweights,
especially in handicap bouts. Mere
ly because an opponent outweights
him means little in his life at 4 q,
Gardner naturally weighs> more
than Retonen. He is expected TO
enter tonight's match weighing close
to 162 or 163 pounds. 1t Is possible
for him TO make 1853 pounds, but the
conditions of tonight's contest per-
init him to come in at catchweights.
Gardner has appeared here
frequently In the last couple sof
years, winning instant popularity
by his rough handling Of Joe
Turner. He defeated the Wash
ingtonian twice at the old Lyeemn
Theater. ',-

from his farm at Rutland, Mass,

crowd witnessing his victory at the

Gardner figures he will learn some
thing about Ketonen in this bout,

challenges him for a championship
bout, he will agree to make 1853
pounds.
Both men are out to win to-
nights bout because, with the

If one wereto judge general condi.
tions by the activity in the market
here, hard times would be forgotten.
Several buyers have been here this
week, one large manufacturer from
Detroit having bought two good sized
lots of old resweat Gebhardt, while the
others have been picking up both Geb-
hardt and thinner.
In the country, buyers continue to
ride until today the thinner and Dutch
ends of the crop are almost thing of
the past. What is left is very inferior
tobacco, and will no doubt eventually
be handled along with the low grades.
There is some Gebhardt left in farm
ers' hands, but even this class of to-
bacco is getting scarce. One large New
York packer has plunged very heavily
in the crop, while the local packers
have also been executing good sized or
ders. However, what is left among
the better crops is now being held at
high prices and hard to buy.-Leaf.

The very welcome return of activity
in the leaf markets of the country,
based it is believed upon more active
demand felt by the cigar manufacture
ers, has been very much in evidence
this week. There is a distinct improve

the importers have made numerous
sales. In fact the general opinion of
the trade upon the question of the de-

The tobacco has good yield, and though
costlier than last year is not prohibi-
tive. The purchase by single house
of 5000 bales of the new Java crop,
which is said to be finer than any of
the previous five years, is one of the
biggest deals ever consummated by one
firm The purchase of 5000 to 10000
cases of 1921 Pennsylvania by famous
Philadelphia cigar manufacturer. and
the continued absorption of the Ohio

LANCASTER, Pa, June 8, 1922.
Owing to the outbreak of wildfre in
the tobacco seed beds of the farmers of
Lancaster county, many of the beds
had to be replanted. The outbreak of
the disease was discovered by County
Farm Agent Bucher, who Immediately
began a tour of inspection covering the
county, and wherever the disease was
found the farmers were advised to
throw out all plants and begin anew
This they did, just the right sort of
growing weather followed and the beds
came along in good shape. Latterly
there has been too much rain for the
work of planting but those who will be
late are not fearful of the consequences.
The acreage planted this year will be
fully as large as that of the past sew
eral seasons. A number of farmers
living adjacent to the Maryland line
had threatened to quit tobacco patches
and plant vegetables for the canneries
of Maryland counties over the line but
experienced change of heart at the
last moment and their fields will again
be seen in tobacco Journal

vile. The news came to this office
from souace that we considered abso-
lHtely reliable. We have been inform
ed, however, that this was an error.
and that We'll & Son have packed
nothing this year except northern to-
bacco bought at figures much higher
than those given in the mention made
of the matter in The Reporter. We
take this means of correcting the error.
The weather has been pushing the
growth of the plants in the beds and
made the growers come to it in the field
with the result that very little setting
will be left TODD after the first of July.
In fact all fields could, as far as plants
are concerned, be finished now. The
growers are already busy in the earliest
fields working up the mulch bed, and
the stand is even and vigorous except
where heavy downpours last week did
some washing.
The cooperative pool representa-
tives are going through their districts
to solicit signatures to the FIVE year
contract. Authentic and reliable in
formation as to the outcome of this
campaign is not yet made public. AS
soon as The Reporter is in possession
of the facts, it will give them publicity.
Indiscriminate statements based on es-
