Wisconsin Tobacco Market

EDGERToN. Wis. Aug. II, 1922
Showers the first of the week cover
ing large portions of the state served
to improve the stand of tobacco. The
fields we're not suffering from insult
ficient moisture, but the ample down
pour served to give the stand the nee
essary push required just now.
The sales of tobacco reported last
week are confirmed, except the Viro-
qua cooperative stock. The total num-
Der of cases sold will reach pretty close
to $500 or better. This makes big
dent in the cased cigar leaf in the state
sold in the open market. The larger
holdings OF 1920 and 1921 leaf were
bought direct by the manufacturers
through their representatives in Wis
consin packing centers.
Field buying of the 1922 northern to-
bacco continued through the past week.
Bekkedal & Son of Westby were the
first and heaviest buyers, but number
Of firms operating both in the northern
and southern sections were in the field
and wrote contracts for the new crop.
The ridge crops went on the contract
book at figures around the 20 cent level,
valley fields about five cents higher.
The high mark reported is 26 cents.
The best fields are the ones selected, of
course. Most of the crops sold were
owned by growers who had not joined
the pool, but it is reported that few
who had signed the five year pooling
contract have sold with the understand
ing that the buyer assumes the respon-
sibility for any penalty involved in the
growers relation to the pool
Of the progress of the pool towards
the completion of the rs per cent acre
age needed to make it ready to do busi-
ness, no definite information has been
given to the public. The time for COM
ing in is again extended, this time to
August TO-
The wildfire problem is energetically
handled by the marketing department
and the agricultural experiment sta
tion. A committee of growers is work
ing together with the representatives
of the state in an endeavor to check the
spread and eradicate the pest A set
of rules advising growers what to do
has been sent out. Where the damage
exceeds so per cent the field is to be
destroyed, otherwise the grower must
60 through the field and pick off all
diseased leaves and burn them The
department has sent out gangs to do
this work recently. Anything and any
body may carry the infection from a
sick field to we'll one The situation
does not look serious as yet and proper
measures conscientiously carried out
may save the day. Under all circum-
stances it will pay the grower to be on
the lookout. Eternal vigilance is the
price not only of liberty, but of sound
crop of tobacco.

At a meeting of the organization
committee of the Connecticut Valley
Tobacco Growers association held at
No. II Central Row, headquarters of
the association, Monday, the formation
of the association was assured, accord
ing to reports filed. At this meeting it
was stated that contracts are now on
file covering 20, 050 acres, leaving bal
ance of 670 acres to be secured before
the Is per cent required by the contract
is procured.
Present indications of the committee
are that there will be surplus in ex-
cess of ], 200 acres when the organiza-
tion is completed within the next ten
days or two weeks, thus accomplishing
one Of the most important moves in the
tobacco industry in many years.

North Portland had 16 loads of
livestock in early for the Tuesday
trade and six additional loads We're
received later; the exact count not
being available at the opening of the
market. Hogs were about steady, cat
tie slow and weak while sheep were
still showing the sluggish disposition

ans section and were reported at con-
tracted to northern buyers prior to
arrival. Market, however, is con-
gested with over Sunday arrivals, and
buyers continue to stay away from
the alleys in the hope of forcing addi-
tional price reductions. Willamette

suitable railroad rate for the return

factor against the market. Reports

recommended that stations of only moderate power be used, spaced at dis tances of not more than 2,O00 nautical miles, the intermediate stations acting as relays for the more distant.
 There have been heated discussions in England regarding the relative merits of the high-power, long-distance transmission systems in comparison with the moderate power, intermediate relay systems. There can be no doubt that the system of intermediate sta tions will give by far the most reliable communication, largely on account of the small variability of signal intensity at shorter distances. And probably for government purposes, where re- liability is of more importance than volume of traffic carried, the system is superior.
 "The plans of France for extremely long distance communication are cen tered around the huge transmitting sta ton now being completed at Ste. Assise. between Fontainbleau and Paris This station is expected by its promoters to communicate with Sui- g5n. Indo-China. 5,5U0 nautical miles {: Buenos Aires. 5,950 miles, and, of course. many nearer points"

Revive Plan to Build

 It is intended that the inter- national city shall be a perma- nent institution. where every country will have a building in which if will display not only it's manufactures and products but examples of it's art and rec ords of it's social progress.
 These plans were first submit ted to King Albert in 1913 by Hendriels C. Anderson, an Amer ican sculptor. formerly of New port, k. l., who then was living in Rome MT. Anderson was aided in preparing his plans for the ideal city by Senator Henri La Fontaine snd Paul Otlet.
