INCREASED TOBACCO ACREAGE THIS

YEAR NOT GENERAL, SAYS SANBORN

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. In our statement as to stock in one of the Eaton warehouses on Wednesday we referred more particularly to the best or old-time wrapper trade," of which the largest percentage Is being held. As for low grades or "lugs" thera Beems to be no demand whatever, not only at Eaton, but elsewhere 50 far as we hare investigated to date, "id we are speaking more especially of 1917 leaf, fully ready for use. As all know, there has been practically no trade whatever in 1918 Ohio leaf, some of the largest growers stating that shadow of any buyer from anywhere has never appeared on their places, nor have any mall inquiries been made by their old friends among buyers and manufacturers agents. Preble County Organizes. Tn such circumstances a spirit of unrest naturally developed. Farmers wanted to know at first hand If that was the general status; if their friends had fared better; if any of them had Bold; if so to whom and at what prices. This was the Inception and cause for getting together. A year ago at this time, and indeed months earlier, not a pound of tobacco was in the growers' hands in Preble, as previously noted. What was wrong? Well, a number get together, meetings were held and committees Appointed. It was a sort of stand-tc- - tfetner proposition ror mutual benent and information. The idea prevailed that Inasmuch as cost of production bad Increased It was reasonable to ask a good price to cover and to leave a dollar to keep the wolf from the door In growers' hands. What would be a reasonable price? That was a Question to which the answer varied, of course, some setting it a little too high and others too low, according to the views of the rest. As to Price Fixing. What ever were the original plans as to price making, nothing was said to ua in that regard on our recent visIts. In fact, the farmers claim that an arrangement as to spring acreage, Information as to offers and sales, and as to visits and Inquiries from buyers, aro what the organization was planned for and that every member Is expected to post his neighbor ac - cordlngly. The question of increasing or reducing the tobacco acreage is Important to every grower; and it is a matter on which all can not agree, if such attempt is seriously made. Certainly there will be no general increase this season.- It Is a question of maintaining the average plantings, or of drastic reduction. We were told at second hand that one man would cut 35 acres to 5. That may not be true; men often change their minds when time for action comes. In another case it was said that some small growers would aDandon the leal en tirely for the current year. Well, per- ' haps, but tobacco is a "money crop" for landlord and tenant s division and the lormer is likely to insist that some be grown. One Man's Idea. One well informed man gives It as fils orinion that in individual cases the tobacco acreage will be increased Somo will add to quantity at expense of quality, If they cannot get the labor and thus figure to make quantity even up for lower price. Others will plan and hope that the market will right itself and conditions be more prop! tlous another crop year, and will take a chance at raising all the leaf they can properly attend to. This gentleman does not figure on a seriously reduced acreage, If at all. This relates particularly to where tobacco is main crop; where livestock is grown and there i3 greater diversity, tobacco will most likely to be sacrificed to some degree, and this seems to be a reasonable proposition, doesn't It? What a Pittsburgher Wrote. You will remember our quotation from a New York tobacco man's letter, printed on Tuesday. Well, the Pittsburgh man wrote nearly two month's later, and sad to state, in the same depressing tone. Possibly he could now see more daylight in that market, but not likely r.s jet; for there has been no real change in conditions, apparently. Here is what the gentleman confidentially wrote: "Pittsburgh, Jan. 13, 1919: I am in receipt of yours of the 10th instant, outlining tho conditions of the 191S crop of tobacco in Ohio, and thank you very much for this information. "As requested by you, I would advise that I think that the average medium to large manufacturer is pretty well supplied with tobaccos and I think the 1918 crop will be purchased at a very low figure, for the simple reason that I understand in Pennsylvania they are buying wrappers at 12,i to 15c and fillers around 5 to S1, vnnd this will undoubtedly, in ray estin.atlon, be a pretty good guide as to what Ohio will be purchased at. "Coupled with this, the manufacturers are still pressed very hard for help and production is greatly curtailed, which as you know, means a decreased consumption of tobacco; which all tends to point to the fact that there will not be any great effort made by the medium and large manufacturers to purchase further of tobaccos, unless, of course, it can be bought at a very low figure."

FEEL T m

This was far from consolatory to

the Ohio man and his friends who are holding a lot of 1917 tobacco at a loss and who expect to handle a lot of 1918 leaf a little later, as Independent buy ers, If they can meet buyers views, for some will be Inclined to hold their crops, Just as Jobbers of leaf do, and wait a more propitious season and price. This letter may not be Important now, except in comparison of views with those prevailing in New York. Tomorrow will be given a letter from the east, dated March 17, in which reference is made to the organization of Ohio growers, and also as to the amount of tobacco supplies still in hands of manufacturers of cigars. The writer of the letter was very pessimistic as to the future of prices in the Miami valley. It is a fact, however, that there is a slightly better feeling and demand in the Pennsylvania tobacco counties than at the time the letter of January 10, herein printed, was written. We shall devote a special chapter or two to the Lancaster district later in the week. Our subject is a broad one, has many angles and cannot be covered in the space which can be spared to it in two or three days. Ohio Used fJr Fillers. Ohio leaf is used almost strictly for fillers, but when culled closely there is a percentage that may be used as wrapper on some kind3 of cigars. The fact is, in earlier days a lot of Ohio leaf was so used, particularly when tho crop was fine; at least that is the tradition. Now Wisconsin leaf is mostly a binder proposition, and the best of that production in the northern district has already been sold, or nearly bo. Just now the Wisconsin men are favored with a little activity, in each tobacco section. With reference to Pennsylvania production around Lancaster It grades into wrapper, binder and filler, and in this respect stands alone in the entire country. Nevertheless it is a filler tobac-i co, principly, and is the one most competitive as to quality and price of the Miami valley leaf. As previously indicated, the Lancaster growers have been dissatisfied with prices and conditions. A lot of 1 tobacco remains unsold and many strong holders do not care to sell till they get better prices. Tobacco growers' organizations, local and as to county, have recently been launched in Lancaster. The crop last year was not so good as the average, tho season being against the growers, and now that is the case also with the price. This interests our Ohio readers and Just what conditions are in Pennsylvania will appear shortly in these articles. In fact we intend covering the cigar leaf industry sufficiently to inform growers of conditions in a general way and incidentally to tell of some things of interest to every consumer of the weed in its various manufactured forms. As to Retail Cigar Prices. There is evidence in some quarters that the 6 cent and 7 cent, also eight or two for 15 cents cigar prices, are to be made to stick indefinitely. Others are in favor of getting back to straight fives, to six for a quarter, and to straight 10-cent prices, as soon as may be. This would most likely increase consumption. There is also a feeling that while 6 cents may be an all-right price for a good nickle cigar, that the 7 and 8 cent prices are unwarranted, especially, too, as many smokers find the going qualities inferior to those prevailing when there was real competition in the making of 5 cent cigars to meet advertised excellence and to build up a popular demand. This has resulted, we suppose, from the substitution of inferior leaf grades, and changes in growths, for even the most extensively advertised cigars at their new and higher prices have seemingly "fallen down" in flavor and quality, as compared to some months ago. It is only fair to say that one may find in every town of any size some manufacturer of cigars who makes a good smoke, for local consumers, and one better in the main than the nationally advertised brands. We have proof of this right in Richmond, and that is also true, of course, in many cases in very small towns where an old time cigar maker prides himself on his brands. It is also a fact that as in large cities, so in small towns, many of the cigars made are intended to drive a man to pipe or cigarette, or to forego the weed entirely. But every man to his taste, as the milkmaid said when she kissed the cow, for taste governs demand in this line and the nationally known manufacturer who can suit the taste of the greatest number sells the most cigars. (To Be Continued) QUIT MEAT IF YOUR KIDNEYS ACT BADLY Take tablespoonful of Salts If Back hurts or Bladder bothersDrink lots of water. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. Tho kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of .this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have sting ing pains in the back or the urine n cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of i Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a ; glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts ' is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it Is no longer a source of irritation, thus t ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, and nobody can make a mistake by drinking a little i occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.

Ventilating the Kitchen By GRACE E. HADLEY Home Demonstration Agent. The housekeeper has to spend many hours a day in the kitchen, and sufficient light and ventilation are necessary not only to conserve her health, but to enable her to perform her work most efficiently. The kitchen should therefore, have a generous number of windows, which provide both light and ventilation. . In general, the higher the windows the more efficient they are fpr providing light and ventilation. The air of ther room rises as it becomes heated and to let it escape there should be at least one opening close to the ceiling, which may be secured by extending one window to the top of the room and by having its upper sash easy to lower and to raise. Instead of a window running to the top of the room, small windows may be placed near the top. To save space these may be over cupboard, table or sink. It is often well to give these high opening the form of transoms which tip instead of move on pulleys. Special arrangements, usually pulleys or other commercial devices, must be provided for opening and closing these. In a room where cooking is done there can hardly be too many windows. It is, perhaps less expensive and certainly more satisfactory to cut a window than to buy a hood for the range for carrying away smoke and odors. Very good ventilation without great loss of heat may be obtained by use of window screens covered with cotton cloth. These have the advantage of allowing the outside air to enter without producing a draft, and they also keep out dust and dirt. The window of the pantry or storeroom which is to be kept open in winter might well be covered wiJ!i these screens. The cloth may be stretched across the window and fastened with thumb .tacks or brass rings may be sewed to the corners and slipped over nails or hooks in the sides of the window frame. CUT THIS OUT OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HEAD NOISES. If you know of somo one who Is troubled with Catarrhal Deafness, head noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this formula and hand It to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. In England scientists for a long time past have recognized that catarrh is a constitutional disease and necessarily requires constitutional treatment. Sprays, Inhalers and nose douches are liable to irritate the delicate air passages and force the disease into the middle ear which frequently means total deafness, or else the disease may be driven down the air passages towards the lungs which Is equally as dangerous. The following formula which is used extensively in the damp English climate is a constitutional treatment and should prove especlally efficaclous to sufferers here who live under more favorable climate conditions. Secure from your druggist 1 ounce of Parmint (double strength). Take this home and add to it pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and hearing improve as the inflammation in the eustachian tubes is reduced. Parmint used in this way acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system and has a tonic action that heirs to obtain the desired results. The preparation Is easy to make, costs little and Is pleasant to take. Every person who has catarrh or head noises or is hard of hearing should give this treatment a trial. Adv.

"My 6on is very hard on shoes, so keeping him properly shod has been quite an expense to me," writes Mr. J. Allison Allen, of Amity, Arkansas. "But since I started to buy Neolinsoled shoes for him I have found that it costs only about a third as much to keep him in shoes." This is because Neclin Soles are so tough and durable that they wear a very long time. Shoe bills are kept down because you don't need so many pairs. You can get Ne6lin-soled shoes at almost any good shoe store. They come in all styles and for all members of the family. Neslin Soles are also available everywhere for re-soling. They are produced by a scientific process to be what soles ought to be: comfortable, waterproof and long-wearing. They are made by The Goodvear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to outwear any other heels. in ooies iluit limt. U. a. I at. Otf. The Invite on the
