TOBACCO MEN MUST COT DOWN ACREAGE, IS GENERAL ADVICE

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. CINCINNATI. 'April 24. As previously Indicated in our review of the tobacco leaf situation, the tendency is to organize and to reduce acreage: Our friends In the cigar leaf sections may not be aware that this is also true as to tho Burley growers, and as to the various tobacco growing districts in the eouth; but it is. At Lexington, Ky., the center of large Burley production, they are at work on a combination of farmers and warehousemen "for the purpose of limiting production of tobacco, so as to stabilize prices." We know of no other Instance among associations of growers where the warehousemen have been included in the membership. Increased Acreage Indicated. The .Lexington district is not the only one in Kentucky where producers are agitating reduction in acreage. But regardless of this fact the' State Commission of Agriculture estimates an Increase of 14 per cent in Burley acreage this year, that is say the outlook is for 113 against 99 at this time in 1918. As to Dark tobaccos the increase promises to be stiil larger, judging from seed bed culture and acreage being prepared for planting. This is of Interest to Ohioaris bocause a lot of this tobacco is again likely to be "processed" ai d used as fillers for cheap cigars. Louisville Sounds Warning. At a meeting of Kentucky Loose Leaf Tobacco Warehousemen a few days ago, at Louisville, seventy-six became members of the new association. And this was their decision an sent out to the farmers: "Unless growers heed the advice to cut down crop acreage, disaster lies ahead of tobacco raisers." This was the consensus of opinion of those present, following a debate on the general situation. The Kentucky warehousemen have been pretty good to the farmers in the past. They have used millions of dollars in carrying over their patrons from season to season. It is stated that this course will not he followed in the future, but as to the reasons for discontinuing this form of help wo are unable to state. What Washington Says. Plunging in tobacco to the neglect of food crops is "not Justified by the present tobacco situation." in the view of the department of agriculture at Washington. The department describes prevailing conditions as "difficult," and this applies to all classes of leaf production, we suppose. The men at Washington point to the fact that the country has grown three large crops in succession, with no decided shortage in any of the leading types, and that recent high prices were caused by abnormal conditions, which cannot be counted on to enhance prices in future. North Carolina Leaf. The 1918 crop of North. Carolina leaf has practically been closed out and growers realized about f 100,000,000, which is a whole lot of money, in that state. The packers and warehousemen were worked to the limit, for labor has been scarce and wages high. Well, all these are advising farmers to plant plenty of food crops this year and to fill in with tobacco only to the extent of acreage they can take care of. In the main that would be good advice at any time. The tobacco you can properly take care of, from seed bed to case, is the tobacco which is the most coveted by buyers and this brings in the most money. We have gone thus broadly into details because the tobacco crops of the country always "interlock" to some degree, for the various treatments and dopes the leaf is "hocuspocused" when there is money In such manipulation. But, at the worst, there is no substitute for tobacco, and this is particularly true as to cigar leaf. The pipe smoker may burn an alfalfa mixture, in clays of scarcity, but in the manufacture of cigars the limit is the substitution of one kind of leaf for another; but it must be tobacco. Has No Competitor. Tobacco stands alone; in a class by itself, and without a competing product. Neither the ups and downs of the prices of live stock, of any food product, nor of any article of need or luxury affects the demand for, nor the price of tobacco. , In view of this fact and of the world's crying need for this crop, the time should conie when prices will be Ptabllized to the comfortable profit of all concerned. This is the business view of the whole matter. Certain types of leal can be grown only in certain soils and in a restricted area. This is self evident. Better tobacco farming and a closer bond of union by those most directly concerned Bhould bring about better conditions for all

whose time and money go into this vastly important crop. And right now it is a crop for which half the world is hungry. Our tobacco

exports are bound to increase, regardless of the amount to go out from South American countries. Take Germany, for example. The government at one time prohibited the importation of tobacco from Holland and the Industry was unable to supply Itself with raw material. Now as late as 1916 there were 220,000 cigar makers at work in Germany, and today but 80,000 of these are on the pay roll and vry few on full time. When the time com m that Gerr y ly has access to the world's markeia it will surely buy a little tobacco, and get it into the country through some channel as a matter of course. The 6,000 or more of cigar lactories closed since 1914, will, in the majority of cases, get ii action again some day, and that time may be even nearer than we can now anticipate. What the government may do to the smoker as to taxes will no doubt be a plenty, and is no concern of ours. In the very nature of thlrvs, tobacco must be a scarce and valuable commodity in nearly all of Europe, outside at least of the British Isles. A world of low grade Lancaster and of York, Pennsylvania, leaf is now enroute to France, and more is now being baled to follow. Much of the Lancaster leaf will go out of Baltimore and millions of pounds of York county leaf is now at sea by vessels out of New York. The writer ?aw ten cars of this tobacco loaded one atternoon while in the east. An Editor's View. A few days' ago the editor of the Western Tobacco Journal- at Cincinnati said: "Current reports have it that cigar leaf, filler grades in Ohio and practically everywhere else will decline shortly in price, as little or none of it has as yet been moved or contracted for. The large manufacturer is well supplied with raw material and a number of smaller manufacturers have discontinued business. These conditions, we would say, would leave the future more or less a matter of guess as to the outcome of prices." Our friend, the editor, means well, but from recent personal observation, the writer is assured that York county, Pennsylvania, is out of the market, cleaned out, almost in fact, and that a large percentage of Lancaster leat has been headed for Europe. The editor continues: "While the 1918 crop is not an Inferior crop, neither Is it a fancy crop, and for that reason the tobacco should not bring excessive prices. The fact remains, however, that the manufacturers are looking for high-grade tobacco, on account of the advance in prices on cigars and competition for good cigars will be very prominent. In answer to many questions regarding the immediate prices on cigar leaf, we have endeavored to the best of oar ability to get something that would be somewhere near an intelligent answer, but It seems the whole situation

is in such a shape that to get reliable

Information on the subject that would warrant any kind of advice, is im

possible just at present. We do gather

however, as stated above, that a de cline in price is most likely to occur.'

We print this Interesting quotation and editorial opinion as throwing a side light on the task the present writer set out to accomplish. We

have been digging for "bed rock," and are still on the job.
