TOBACCO BUYERS HAVE STARTED FOR OHIO FIELOS, SAYS SANBORN

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN

YORK. Pa., April 18. The crop of

York county leaf has been practically all nold, and one single man haa secured at least 70 per cent of It. It will not be used ia American made cigars. That is an amazing statement, we admit. But it Is true; unless, as David said: "All men are liars." And that man does not lire in York, but in the little town of Red Lion, of 4,000 persons, in this county. He is hiring every man he can lay hands on to sort, bale and load his purchases. Some of his hands put in 100 hours last week, the timekeeper told me. What's all the hurry? Why, a great steamer Is billed to sail in a few days for Europe and there Is a "dead line" on time freight can be received for the voyage. A Load Off the Market This leaf will not compete with Ohio for the coming season, nor with other Pennsylvania crops. Early in the year a few independent packers bought some York county leaf and a few are now buying in a small way. Admittedly, a lot of the tobacco here is of the "won't burn" type, as we have rtated with regard to Lancaster 1918 crop, in many instances. But it "can be made to burn" stick a pin in that fact It can! But all this makes costly handling and then there Is the flavor to think about. But. of this more when we get back to Richmond, and when we meet our Ohio friends, who are loaded with leaf. A Visit to Red Lion

The writer visited Red Lion yesterday and talked with this representa-

tlal leaf man. He was very courteous and talked freely, apparently. We went through his packing department. It was a busy scene, denoting the activity of pressure for time. A train was to have been loaded in a few hours and will be long before this reaches our readers. Our next call was on another oldtime tobacco packer. They "had bought all they cared to. in this section, and had started three or four men to Ohio on Monday," he said. They do that every year and, "but for tho combinations out our way asking too much money," they would have had men in Ohio weeks earlier. As a side light on the situation this would indicate that there may be others in the same boat, as of course there are. But they expect to buy at a low

price. They f-ay there is much 1917

tinned this surplus would have soon been absorbed. To Our Ohio Friends. Our investigation of the subject from all its angles, as relates to the scarcity of eastern buyers in the Ohio field all season (up to the time we came east) was caused by the wide publicity given to the growers' propaganda. The idea prevailed that the growers wanted about twice too much money. That old stocks on hand, the new restrictions and rulings, the added taxes, and the unsettled conditions in financial and trade circles made cautious buying imperative. The slow progress at Paris and the ominous reports coming out of Europe were also and are still factors in a degree. This not only applies to the tobacco industry but too many others, of course. As in all other lines, the labor cost has been very largely increased in cigar-making plants, and so too, have the cost of all the materials and containers, aside from the advance in leaf. But in spite of all that has been said, there is no doubt but that a good portion of 1918 Ohio would have been out of farmers' hands, or

under contract by this time, had buyers decided prices were around bedrock. In view of all conditions. This means that there is still a broad market and demand for Ohio leaf at a price. The exports of Pennsylvania filler stock now being made must eventually strengthen the Ohio situation, and there should come a time when Ohio growers will be able to sell at much better prices than are likely to be offered Just now by the men heading, or soon to start, for the Ohio fields.

The solution does not lose its strength on standing, but grows stronger, due

to the water evaporating faster than the formaldehyde.

Method of Treatment: Place the potatoes in sacks or crates and lower them in the solution. After 30 min

They may be treated any time in the winter or early spring, providing they are properly dried and re not reinfected by storing in old containers or bins that have not been disinfected. Potatoes should be treated before cutting. After treatment sprinkle the cut pieces with flowers of sulphur or gypsum and spread in thin layers, turning over every day or two until the cut surfaces have calloused.

No Medicine-Chest Without Its Family Laxative

From the baby to the grandparent a good laxative Is the necessary medicine in the little ill. It wards off serious sickness and save doctor's bills. Many a cold has been prevented from running into grippe and pneumonia by its timely use. Many a racking headache has been quickly dispelled by it. And it ia a laxative rather than a drastic cathartic or purgative that should be in every family medicine-chert, for a laxative can be used at all ages. Thousands of good American families have for more than a quarter century used a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin known to druggists aa Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is a laxative-tonic that acts on the bowels and stomach. Infants take it with perfect safety, and it is equally effective for grownups. Grandparents are now seeing their children give it to their babies. It is excellent for all the family hi constipation no matter how chronic, indigestion, wind colic, biliousness, headaches, dyspepsia and similar ilia. t The druggitt will refund your monmy it it fail to do ma promised.

situation came a visit to one of ths largest cigar factories, who make a very popular "nickel" smoke that is to say, it formerly sold at a nickel until our genial Uncle Sam had to have more revenue from the cigar industry. . There are a number of cigar plants In Red Lion and, so far as we know, ere all non-union. The men work an . ' hour longer than the women, and Inhere are many expert cigar maker3 among the latter. Neither of them work by the day but at so much per thousand cigars. York Is also a largo cigar-making center and doubtless the same scale of wages and factory regulations prevail in this city. Fourteen Cents the Top. It is conceded that Lancaster county leaf, grown on a limestone soil Is the better leaf. Further than this, Lancaster growers have a better reputation as both growers and graders of crops, taken as a whole, and this 'explains the premium on their leaf. There is also a little limestone soil in York county and a few choice crops are grown here, but these are very limited In number. At all events, the top on the 1918 crop at Red Lion, so far. has been 14 and 4 or 14 and 6 in extreme cases it maybe, while the top on Lancaster leaf, paid early In the year or season, was around 20 cents for some choice acreage and not many were fortunate nough to obtain this outside figure. The low in York county was 11 cents ind the bulk of the crop has been sold

at about 12 cents, according to our informant. Brought In Southern Leaf. When Pennsylvania leaf was selling at comparatively high figures within the past three years, thousands of hogsheads of Southern low grade leaf were brought into the Ninth Pennsylvania revenue district, unpacked and processed snd finally made into cigars. This is as reliable men told it, confidentially, to their customers who used the Southern leaf for the sake of economy. This leaf was very low at that time. Just now conditions are reversed. The Southern leaf is the highest. The tobaccos imported here Jcame from various sections of Kentucky, Virginia and the Carollnas, to the best of our Information, and were largely spbstituted for Pennsylvania leaf In the cheap smokers. This resulted in a surplus of Pennsylvania leaf, the effect of which Is now being felt. Had the war con-
