CIGAR LEAF GROWERS OF OHIO . STANDING PAT, SAYS SANBORN

BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN The Ohio cigar leaf tobacco growers are practically , standing pat. They are proclaiming to the world at large that the leaf they have raised belongs to them, and that they should have something to say as to the value of it, based on the cost of growing the crop, plus a fair percent of profit, to which they not unreasonable make claim they are justly entitled. We make special mention of "Cigar Leaf growers for this reason; the government estimate of the Ohio tobacco acreage, total of all kinds grown in the state in 1918, was 115,600. Of this acreage 65,700 acres are credited to the Miami Valley and to cigar leaf production. Ohio 1b not considered a great grower of Burleys, but at that Uncle Sam discovered 40,000 acres of this leaf in Ohio in 1918, which was 35 percent of the total acreage grown In the state; also 6,000 acres of "Export grade." The Ohio Burley growers are mostly out of the market, perhaps entirely so, and have had their money in bank for some months. Some fancy Ohio Burley brought outside prices, well up toward a dollar per pound, for Ohio raises some of the choicest Burley grown, as well as some of the best filler leaf known to the cigar industry. Speaking of quality we may state that the claim is now made that, taken as a whole, the 1918 crop in Preble and adjoining districts is averaging out the best in a long number of years. A. J. Swift, Preble county farm agent, says: "We have a lot of really fine tobacco which will bring a good price." Mr. Swifts idea is that not much more than half as many acres will be planted in Preble this year as last. Asked as to the probable largest planting by any one grower he stated that Ed Link, living near West Alexandria, was planning to put in 35 acres, and this he believed to be the greatest proposed acreage to go In on any one place. Mr. Link planted 40 acres last season. As to Probable Acreage. With reference to reduction in acreage Mr. Swift says that the lateness of the season may still further reduce the proposed acreage, and that In some localities the cut will be fifty percent, regardless, in his view. With reference to seed beds Mr. Swift says that he has found some showing good, healthy growth, the plants standing 3 to 4 Inches high. This is not the rule however, our own investigntion showing a very backward condition in at least one important tobacco township. Monroe. True, the stand In the seed beds is thick, but In some cases the leaves are not off the ground. A few warm days will remedy this condition, however. Plants one to 2 inches high, and of good color, was the rule In num erous beds. Mr. Charles Sellers, of Monroe township, says it has been too cold for seed growth, and that his plants are late. He has about 2,000 pounds of leaf on hand and expects to put in three acres. tie has seen no Duyers lately, ii at an this season. Most of his friends are In the same boat, Charles Slippy, on the New Paris and Eldorado pike, says his plants are not doing well. He has around 2,000 pounds of leaf on which co one has asked a price, although he was informed that there had been some inquiry made for tobacco, south on the National road. Harry Holsinger intends putting in four acres and says that a man came by last Monday and offered him 12 cents but that he did not show him his leaf. Mr. Holsinger said he knew of no crops being sold in his vicinity. As to the sale of crops County Agent Swift said that, all told, there had been a very few small crops of Preble county leaf sold and these went at 12 to 15 cents. What Mr. Blackford Says Mr. Frank Blackford, of Eldorado, is the most cheerful kind of an opti-i mist, on crops in general. Mr. Black-1 lord , is state farm lecturer, travels i aviHoIv anil it a Hrs nhsprvpr. Be fore talking tobacco let U3 inspect the I eleven-acre Blackford peach orchard. ; We shall then see that there are to j be some peaches next fall, after this j inspection. Taking the orchard as ai whole there promises to be upward of 40 per cent of a crop, while as to his carmen peaches, these completely .weathered the frost and will bear abundantly. From present indications the young carmen trees will need propping. As to berries Mr. Blackford says they escaped all frost damage, and even his strawberry patch of 1 ,-aa ia 1rnkinc fine. He Will beein picking in about two weeks. Late pears are all right over the considerable area covered in our trip and there i3 the best promise of an apple crop that has been seen in Preble county in many years. There will also be a lot of late cherries. As to corn it i3 estimated that about 75 per cent of it is in the ground betwean New Paris, Eldorado and West Manchester, and through the belt we traveled. Considerable corn is also in along the West Manchester and Eaton pike. In many miles of travel, however, not a single row of corn was I noted peeping through. There is no question but that some of the early planted corn will have to be replanted to make a crop, though it is not thought that the percentage rotted can vet be very large. Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair it rn want to keeD vour hair In good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most Boaps and prepared shampoos contain to much alkali. This dries the ncaln. maKes me nair uniue, uu ia very harmful. Just plain mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and eni.oiv crrttiiaplpsal. is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as , this can t poSlDiy injure uib uair. Simply moisten your hair with water .. and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, Vreamv lather, and cleanses the hair ' and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very " a t&w minopa ia ennuerh tf tueap, aim " - "!at everyone in the family for months.

There are about 14,000 pounds of tobacco in the Blackford barn, all of

which is going through the sweat nice ly, and this was found to be true generally. A "careful census of Monroe township," he said, "indicates but 43 per cent, of acreage as compared to 1918. This is the present outlook, but

in view of the backwardness of the , interest to clgar leaf growers as showseason and the damage fleas have , ,

been doing in the seed beds, this may still further reduce the coming crop and thus influence prices on 1918 tobacco." Those who should know say that the crop now in sweat is ageing nicely and that in color and texture it is the best that Preble county has ever produced." This particularly applies to Monroe township, eastern end of Jackson and the the western part of Washigton townships. No doubt the same favorable report might be made for other sections where the farmer has properly cared for his crop from seed bed to cases. Let us hope that this may be true, not only as to Preble, but as to the entire Miami Valley, for all this tobacco will be badly needed later on. So far as Monroe township sales are concerned, there have been

but seven crops reported sold, and;Co Journals' export figures for March these have made no appreciable hole 0 this year shows a large percent of in stocks. The farmers still maintain j increase over those of March, 1918, that recent offers of 1Z to 15 cents when the war was raging. Without have no charms for them. They feel 1 going into- monthly comparison be it

that the crop cost them from 18 to 20 cents to produce and that a "legitimate profit would mean from 25 cents to 30 cents per pound." From Western Tobacco Journal. Charles A. Dana, the famous editor of the New York Sun, had a slogan: "If you see It in the Sun it's so," This might well apply to the tobacco statistics printed in the Western Tobacco Journal, of Cincinnati, from which we have had former occasion to quote. The fact is that Messrs. Gehring and Meyers, the publishers, do, as a matter of fact, print the most comprehensive statistics obtainable, not only

as to Burley, Dark tobaccos, etc, but also as to cigar leaf and Its manufacture, and also relating to our exports of tobacco in its various forms. But surely, a tobacco journal that has been printed for forty-six years In such a tobacco sales center as Cincinnati has been for so long a time, must have access to all the sources of information. And it has, for having spent several hours pleasantly in the Journal office, with free access to air their valuable material, we can speak from experience. - In an Interesting summary in relation to all stocks of tobacco in Western Tobacco Journal, we Und the fol

lowing figures which are of especial dates mentioned in 1918 and 1919. "The total stock of leaf tobacco for cigar wrappers and fillers held in bonded warehouses of ihe United States at the tlose February 28, 1919, was 56,713,201 pounds, against 55,224,440 pounds in the corresponding period last year, which represents an increase of 1,488,761 pounds for February, 1919. Similar comparisons made with the previous month of January, 1919, shows an increase of 2,918,472 pounds. The leaf tobacco held in bonded warehouses during February was valued at $35,528,314 against $27,045,456 in the corresponding period last year representing an Increase in value to the amount of $8,482,858." Exports of Leaf Tobacco. An analysis of the Western Tobac noted that "Our export tobacco bus! ness increased during March in all branches of the industry, as compared with the same period last year." The editor then goes on to show that the leaf exports last March were 40,495,785 pounds as against 16,859,174 pounds in March 1918. The Increase in value of the tobacco sent abroad in that month was $10,535,000 over the figures brought in March of last year. That indicates a healthy export condition as to raw leaf. The fiscal year expires on June 30th, and for the first nine months of this fiscal year our i leaf shipments totaled over 408 mil- j N C OR f O R AT

Local peace officers insist that a burglar who recently attempted to operate in Melstone is deserving of a monument alongside the first ball player who stole second with the bases full. Recently the cashier of a local lumber company put a sum of gold in the safe and left the office without locking the strong box. That night a burglar broke into the office and without trying to open the closed safe door began to tamper with the combination. As a result he accomplished what the cashier had neglected to do. The burglar may not have realized his awful mistake but the fact remains that he was frightened away before he was able to break through the door he himself had locked by turning the combination knob. And in his haste he left some perfectly good burglar tools on the floor. Masonic Calendar Tuesday, May 27 Richmond Lodge No. 196, F. and A. M., Called Meeting.

MANY PROKUNEWT HEN - CONE OUT FOR TANLAC

FORMER MAYOR OF BIRMINGHAM RECOMMENDS IT Hon. Frank V. Evans Says He Weighs More Than Ever in Life Since Taking Tanlac. One of the latest additions to the large and rapidly growing- list of prominent men who have publicly indorsed Tanlac for the good It has done them Is the name of Hon. Frank V. Evans, former Mayor of Birmingham. Mr, Evans is one of the best known men in public life in Alabama today, being at one time editor of one of the South's greatest newspapers, the Birmingham Age-Herald. He was also examiner of public accounts in Alabama. In telling of the benefits he had derived from ; Tanlac Mr. Evans said: "For years I suffered with gastritis and indigestion in the worst form. I was habitually constipated and had pains in my shoulders and headaches continually. My appetite left me alj most entirely and everything I could ! eat hurr me. Finally I got to having awful attacks of acute Indigestion, palipltation of- the heart and smothering spells. For a long time I would have one or more of these spells every night and I would wake out of my restless sleep gasping for breath. "I bought a bottle of Tanlac and to my surprise and gratification I began to feel relief after the first few doses. I kept taking the medicine and now weigh more than ever before, and my recovery is simply the talk of Birmingham." Tanlac Is sold In Richmond by Clem Thlstlethwalte's Drug Stores and the leading druggists In every town. REV. A. H. SYKES IS MUCH GRATIFIED The Rev. A. H. Sykes, pastor of the Watklns Park Presbyterian church, Nashville. Tenn.. prominent not only as a minister of the gospel, but popular as a man and citizen who has been true to his friends and every trust ever reposed In him, said recently: "For the last ten' months Mrs. Sykes has been In very delicate health, suffering from bad stomach and kidney troubles, which gradually developed into a general nervous breakdown. At times her condition became alarming and I frequently sought medical ad vice, but nothing we could do for her seemed to bring relief. "In fact, she suffered so long and so much that I feel It my duty to let ev eryone know what this medicine has done for her. For several months her condition was such that she had to re main in bed, and as a last resort I de cided to let her try Tanlac. "I am a conservative man and have always been skeptical regarding the use of proprietary medicines, but this case has certainly proven an exception. I am now firmly convinced that Tanlac is a medicine of great power and extra ordinary merit. I do not think I have ever seen anything to give such prompt results. Mrs. Sykes had taken only two-thirds of a bottle of this medicine when we began to notice a marked Improvement in her condition. In less than a week from the time she began taking it she was able to sit up and is today able to help with the household duties. Before she began taking Tanlac she" had fearful pains in her side ana sunerea constantly from sour stomach and Indigestion and was intensely nervous. These distressing symptoms, I am thankful to say, have entirely disappeared, her appetite has returned and she seems to relish every thing she eats. She sleeps better and Is gaining strength and flesh rapidly. I think It only a question of a short time until her health is fully restored. "Tanlac has certainly proven a remarkable remedy in her case and will do all you claim for it. I cheerfully recommend it to my friends." Tanlac Is Bold in Richmond by Clem Thlstlethwalte's Drug Stores and the leading druggists In every town. Judge G. W. Kyser Makes Interesting Statement Judge G. W. Kyser, 1204 West Ninth street, Austin, Tex., in a recent interview made the following statement: "Tanlac is rapidly making me over into a new man and I will always speak a good word for it when I have the opportunity." Judge Kyser served in the Civil war with the 32nd Texas Cavalry under Col. Woods and occupied the bench in Caldwell county for 20 years and resigned this office to accept the appointment as Commissioner of Pensions under Gov. Colquitt. After 18 months in this office he was compelled on account of falling health to retire from active Jife. He Is not only one of Austin's most highly respected citizens but Is prominently known throughout the state. "I have suffered from constipation for years," continued Judge Kyser. "I had rheumatic pains all over my body, was restless and couldn't sleep at all well. I had no energy and suffered frequently from headaches and to be frank about it I was Just about played out. "But I'm feeling like a different man now. thanks to Tanlac In fact, I'm feeling fine now and nothing has helped me but Tanlac I am recommending It to my friends as the best medicine I have ever found to build up a weak, run down system and to restore lost health and vigor."

Mayors, Judges, State and County Officials, Bankers, Lawyers, Doctors, Editors and Ministers Indorse It

It is seldom. Indeed, that men of prominence, especially men holding high public office, willingly express their indebtedness publicly to a proprietary medicine. Many prominent men. however, Including Supreme court Judges, Mayors of our leading cities, prominent State and county officials, bankers, lawyers, doctors, editors, leading educators. Government officials and even ministers of the gospel have deemed It their duty to come forward and tell the people what Tanlac has done for them. These well-known men of affairs have recognized In this medicine a new discovery and a scientific triumph in the medical world. It is a well-known fact that these splendid Indorsements have been given Tanlac time and time again, and they will continue to be given just as often as new tests of its powers are made, and it also explains why numbers of the big drug firms of the country are ordering It exclusively In carload lots. Appearing below are a few indorse ments from the large numbers that are continually being given to public. the HIGH SHERIFFS NOW CONVINCED OF IT'S MERITS From four of the best known Sheriffs In the South, in widely separated States, have come enthusiastic indorsements as to the merits of Tanlac. "Tanlac has certainly helped me, and I recommend It for the good it has done In my case," said Hon. G W. Mangum, ex-sheriff of Fulton county, Georgia, who resides in Atlanta, and who has been one of the most popular officials in the State, having served three terms as Sheriff. "Tanlac seemed to be Just what I needed to put my system in shape, and it has toned rile right up. Naturally I would recommend it to my friends, and I know of fifteen or twenty families that are taking now on my say-so." Arkansas Official Testifies Hon. Charles L. Lewis, ex-sheriff of Crittenden county, a merchant and a large plantation owner of Marion, Ark., said: "I am convinced from the benefits that my wife and myself and many of our friends have received from Tanlac that it is without an equal." Ex-Snerlff Anderson's Statement. "Money couldn't buy the good Tanlac has done me, and I gladly recommend it to others for what it has done In my case," said Hon. Archie R. Anderson, ex-sheriff of Harris county, Texas, who was reelected to this high office seven times and served the people of his county for 15 years as Sheriff. Mr. Ander son was chief of police of the city of Houston, where he resided for several years, and there is not a better known man in Harris county. Texas Sheriffs Indorsement. "I needed a general, all-around building up for the last seven months, and Tanlac has done that very thing for me," said Hon. S. A. Kelly, who resides at Odessa, Texas, and who is one of the most popular officials in that section of the state. "I have taken only two bottles but I feel like a different man already. My appetite Is fine and what I eat gives me nourishment and strength. The rheumatism is much better and my liver is in good condition. I am relieved of the headaches and feel more aative and energetic than I have in months." Tanlac is sold in Richmond by Clem Thlstlethwalte's Drug Stores and the 'leading druggist in every town. President Cotton Oil Mill Praises It Mr. C. C. Cooper, president of the Georgia Home Cotton Oil company of Lawrencevllle, Ga.. and one of the big business men of Atlanta, said: "I suffered for seven or eight years.

From my own personal experience with the medicine and from what I have observed where others have been using it I am convinced that it is the best medicine of the kind in the world."

BIG BANKERS OF THE SOUTH ARE NOW ENTHUSED

Officials of Two Well Known Financial Institutions Tell Their Experiences. Two of the best known bankers in the Southern states recently on ths same day in personal letters told of their remarkable experience with the use of Tanlac.

He said: Tee. of course I will, and this Is his statement: "'Last spring I was all wrong some way or other and couldn't get right. I came to you and bought a bottle of Tanlac and began to improve. Two more bottles put me all right and I. felt perfectly well. A few weeks ago I had the grippe and was beginning to get down and out again and about a week ago I bought another bottle and have taken it and am perfectly well again. "'I unhesitatingly recommend Tanlac to anyone who is sick and worn out, as I believe that if anybody will take Tanlac when they first begin to feel badly it will prevent and keep off sickness.
