Tobacco Notes


Tom Burns, with the General Cigar
Go. at Portage, is assisting in the work
OF sampling at the Edgerton branch
this week and incidentally visiting with
home folks.
Torger Erickson Of the town of Oak
land retured Saturday from Rushford,
MINI, where he has taught school since
last spring. He says that the tobacco
raised on Highland Prairie this year
was very fine and that all of it has been
sold. The acreage is small.
2. V. Hoyle, business manager of the
Tobacco Leaf, New York, is making a
business trip through the West, and
spent the four first days of this week
in Wisconsin. Mr.. Hoyle is we'll known
to the tobacco trade throughout the
country. His cleverly written articles,
"Bales and Cases." in the u. S. To-
bacco Journal while he was on its staff
won him many admirers. AS business
manager of the Leaf he is wading right
into the field with his customary energy
and circumspection. Mr.. Hoyle spent
Sunday in Milwaukee and came to Ed
gerton Sunday evening. Monday he
called at the headquarters of the North
ern Wisconsin Cooperative Tobacco
Pool and private packers at Madison
and Stoughton. Tuesday was spent in
Edgerton and Wednesday in GAINESVILLE.
r. D. Touton, who has been in Porto
Rico during the past four years, has
spent the summer in Connecticut ex-
perimenting with artificial curing of
shade grown tobacco. At Cayey, Porto
Rico, his company, which is connected
with the American Tobacco Co., has
plant that last year cured $4,000
pounds by the controlled curing method.
The leaf is all primed, hung on laths as
is done in the natural curing process,
then placed in chambers of large cur
ing plant where the heat and moisture
are automatically controlled. In per-
iod of six weeks the leaf is ready for
the asserting tables. Mr.. Touton stat
ed that by the Carrier automatic cur
ing system the leaf comes out in excel
lent condition. Now they are expert
menting with fermentation process
by a similar method which in compar-
atively short time puts the leaf in con-
dition for use by the manufacturer.
The method is successful for high pric-
ed leaf; it costs about seven cents per
pound to cure it in this way, but the
saving in the leaf and the quality pro-
duced enhances the value of it to an
extent to make it profitable. Mr.. Tou-
ton, after visiting his parents at Gravel
Store, returned East and from there
leaves for Porto Rico.

TELLS OF TURKS
Il. H. S. Teacher Was I'm Con-
stantinOpIe Two Months Ago.
Miss Ethel AIdrich Acted as
Guide for Party.

s'The average Turk is a quiet. peace
able citizen" says Miss Ethel Aldrich,
a Topeka high school teacher, who
was in Coastantinople two months
ago. Miss Aldrich says that it seems
the Turks only commit their barbar-
isns when they are aroused from their
everyday pursuits. They are most
earnest in their religion and worship
daily in their beautiful mosques
beggars and mobiles side by side.
Miss Aldrich was in Constantinople
when the Greeks attempted to capture
it. Altho there was no fighting near
the hotel in which she We staying,
several soldiers we're killed in defend
ing the city.
Sailing from New York on June Z
as a guide for n party of fifteen per-
sons, Miss Aldrich went directly to the
near the Isle of Sicily after leaving
Italy. In one day they saw three active
volcanoes. They visited the Isle of
Malta which Miss Aldrich says is far
more interesting than a person would
expect.
A Visit to Egypt.
After staying in Alexandria, Egypt,
for a few days, the party went to
Cairo, where they stayed at the Shep-
herds hotel. During the stay in Egypt
the party climbed the pyramids, went
into the chambers, under them and
saw the sphynx.
The road from Egypt to Jerusalem
is travelled by American autos. The
very road over which Mary and JOS
eph Travelled with the baby Jesus Is
now used daily by automobiles, ac-
cording to Miss Aldrich.
From j Jerusalem the part went to
Constantinople. Miss Aldrich said that
altho there was no open violence while
she was in Turkey, there was very
strong feeling of sympathy for the
nationalist party. This party is largely
composed of the progressive young
Turks who desire new form or gov
eminent.
Leaving Constantinople Miss AL
drich Travelled on the Oriental ex-
press which goes from Constantinopi9
across the European continent to Long
don. This train is much more luXu4+
ious than any American train, accord
ing to Miss Aldrich. Stopping at
Venice, Italy, the party visited many
of the cities of France and Italy. They
also stopped at Monte Carlo.
In travelling thru the Balkan states
Miss Aldrich saw all methods of har-
vesting grain, from the hand sickle
10 the modern Mccormick reaper.
The Greek soldiers were poorly Nun1-
formed, some OF them wore parts of
cast-off American uniforms, Miss Al
drich said.
Witnessed Passion Play.
In ODer-AmInefSau, GERMANY MSS
Aldrich witnessed the passion play for
\ the second time. She attended the
play in 1910.
The party landed in Montreal on
September IT. Topekans, who ac-
-companied Miss A1drich are: Mr. and
Mrs. w. E. Atchison, Mr.. and Mrs.
o. c. Neisweuder, J. ]. Schenck, Miss
Lucille Horn, Mrs. f. G. Foster, c. G.
Blakely and FIR. and Mrs. Herbert
