SOME LANCASTER MANUFACTURERS USE OHIO LEAF FOR CIGARS

Cy W.'LLIAM R. SANBORN LANCASTER. Pa., April 14. While It Is true, in a broad sense, that Ohio nnd Pennsylvania leaf aro competitive as "fillers'," and that both growths are so used in all parts of the country, It Is also true that. In another way, they do not compete at all. There are many manufacturers, for Instance, and some of them right In tho Lancaster district, who never use t- pound of Lancaster leaf. These are partial to Little Dutch, or Zlmmer, find make a line of mild, sweet smoking brands on which they have built both reputation and fortune. In such cases the Lancaster crop cuts no figure: they buy Ohio leaf, regardless. And the reverse of this Is true, no doubt, as to another class or make of cigars, where Pennsylvania leaf is the favorite. In some Instances the fillers are a blend, for there aro many combinations, i Hut should either of these Important crops fail, that would be another story. It would turn the cigar making trade topsy turvy, and Bend prices kiting. It is a fact, however, that the price of Ohio tobacco Is carefully balanced against that of the Lancaster leaf and vice-versa, and that these two great "filler" crops are Juggled by buyers to maintain a balance of lowest possible average. There is nothing strange in that, of course. The tobacco packer wants the lowest market on which to buy. He is a speculator. Everything about tobacco grow

ing, packing and carrying until fit for

use, Is In all respects a gamme. n Is a gamble, too, which has broken many men who have packed on a falling market. Poor crops and low prices

have both impoverished many a grow

er, whose hard work has gone tor little, because of drouth, or too much rain, or a too early frost. Lancaster Growers Meet. An Important and largely attended meeting of the Lancaster County Growers' Association was held in this city today. The meeting was designed to bring out the facts as to the number of "acreB" still in the farmers hands, the prices , buyers aro offering and as much of tobacco leaf data as was available. Men from all parts of the county reported briefly as to conditions, and it was soon made evident that the buying has been very "spotty." and thai the be3t tobacco has been largely sold In many townships, that is to say the cream of the crop has been taken in out of the wet. in the better part of the districts where tho men who reported reside. But even so, there aro corners here and there where no tobacco worth mentioning ha3 been disposed of, because it was supposed that the quality did not recommend it, while the top grades could be purchased at such moderate prices as have ruled of late. Not a man present admitted that his leaf was of the unburnable "asbestos" type, but it was tacitly admitted that there is a percentage of undesirable leaf over a wide area of the 941 square miles in this county. This, we arrived at. not so much from what was said, but from what was mostly left unsaid by those reporting. ' A Prosperous Looking Crowd. There were no growers present having a "lean and hungry look." They were as well dressed and prosperous looking lot as one could wish to meet, and probably are comfortably fixed in tho main. Some present were "city farmers," or at least farm owners, whose tenants work on a share basis. Thl3 was evident when the discussion as to the reduction of acreage warmed up. One man stated that on a rising leaf market every tenant clamored for increased tobacco ground and that when tobacco ruled low in price, they Just naturally wanted to cut the acreage. He maintained that this problem would solve itself, and that anyway, regardless of all kinds of resolutions, that many men would do Just as they pleased as to planting. The consensus of opinion, however, favored a 25 per cent reduction in acreage; "less and better tobacco" being clearly the sentiment of the largest growers. In all the broad discussion of their subject, strangely enough, not a word was said as to what it costs to raise tohaccO at war time labor expense, nor as to the cost of fertilizers, etc. Nor did any man ever hint as to what price he must obtain in order to make a profit or to avoid a loss. There was no vehement talk, no hnnMnir. no blaming of buyers, nor

any mention whatsoever of any packn

ers or other cuyers comoiEauuns iu sweat the price. To Hold or to Sell? It is clearly apparent that many of the growers are beginning to pack the balance of their unsold crops. In some instance there Is a pooling of in-v terests' by small growers to secure cases and expert packers. Ia other cases the district associations or the Lancaster men who are working in co-optratlon as previously noted in this correspondence, are assisting at country points, or are going to ' in future. In a word the "hold-your-tobacco" idea is taking root aad the effect sbould soon be felt Ju6t how much leaf remains to be held is not known, but in some 'dis

tricts It Is fully 75 per cent, in. other spots the worth while leaf has already been delivered or is contracted for as heretofore Indicated. But at the best there Is a lot of unsold tobacco, as to bulk, In Lancaster county. Many think that at the very least 60 per' cent and up still forms the load which those holding out for better prices are still carrying. If the load seems too heavy not a man present at today's meeting said anything to that effect, personally. This may be explained by the fact that only a small percentage of Lancaster county land is devoted to tobacco. They raise a lot of wheat here, have fine cattle and they grow cora to feed them. This is claimed to be "the richest agricultural county in the United States." It is a criminal offense to deny this in this city, so we are going to take the fact for granted. Having seen a lot of this land, and noted the fine country homes and prosperous villages, we are inclined to accept the popular claim as to its wealth. The meeting today was a four-hour session and had a helpful and invigorating effect. It at least gave the members a chance to meet each other, to exchange views and to impart information. (To be continued.) Editor's Note: At the invitation of the Lancaster County Tobacco Growers, Mr. Sanborn addressed a large meeting at Lancaster Chamber of Commerce hall on Monday afternoon. His discussion of the subject covered broadly the position of the growers, packers, and those relating to marketing of manufactured products.
