LARGE LEAF MOVEMENT IN PREBLE; ONE BUYER HAS SHIPPED 35 CARS
By WILLIAM R. SANBORN i The weather man had not been kind to tobacco farmers this spring. The cool, rainy spring season was not auspicious for sowing, and growth was slow later on for lack of sunshine. In a trip covering many miles not a single field was discovered that showed a sign of transplanting though some fields may have been overlooked. We understand however, that considerable tobacco has been set out within the last week near Eldorado and with continued sunshine it will not be long until all the proposed acreage will be taken care of. D. E. Kara, on the New Paris-Eaton pike, said he had about 10,000 pounds of leaf on hand and' that they proposed plant about 20 acres including what would be put in on the Horace Stambick land, which adjoins. Last season the two farms had 22 acres in tobacco. ; So far as. he had learned no large crops had been sold in his vicinity, but a few farmers around Gettysburg had , sold some small crops. At Gettysburg it was learned that five farmers living in that neighborhood had cashed in their tobacco, either at Eaton or Eldorado. At Eldorado we learned that a resident of Lewisburg who is buying for Haas Bros, of Cincinnati, bought 44 cases of seed leaf at Eldorado last week, which will be delivered within a few days and shipped direct to Cincinnati. These were selected from four crops, we believe, and were simply purchased to make a test of quality after a sweat. Albertus Geeting and H. H. Rinehart were among those who sold and the price paid was 12 and 13 cents. Have Sold 700 Cases A little inquiry at Eldorado showed that a total-of about 700 cases have been marketed at that point, and that a lot of leaf is expected to come in on next delivery day, Monday, June 23. The bulk of the buying has been done by Bert Eddins, of Eldorado, for Pierce and Morris, managers of the Lewis Newbergh company of Hamilton, O. In addition to the purchases made by the Newbergh folks Harry O'Neill of Dayton, picked up one car for ship, ment from Eldorado, last week. Of the 700 cases above noted not all have yet been shipped, but are included in the purchases to come In on next delivery day. Some of the to bacco so far received ranks well up with the best crops in a number of years, but some growers had unfortunate weather conditions when the tobacco was cut, and others suffered from halL This means that a portion of the product of this district will have to be sold for whatever it will bring. In our incomplete list of shipments printed last week we omitted the names of four quite important growers, as follows: Joe Maiden, 9,680 pounds; Denver Wilt, 3,960 pounds; George Zumbrum, 5,440 pounds, and Amer Roughs, 5,550 pounds, of Spanish. Six Cars at New Madison. Six cars were taken in at New Madison on Saturday, June 14, all Zimmer Spanish, the following named growers making delivery: J. Riegle. 9.000 lbs.; E. Downing, 2,000 lbs.; L. Kettering, 7,400 lbs.- G. Edgar. 3,500 lbs.; O. Kettering. 4,500 lbs.; E. Ross 3,000 lbs.; Patrick Tooley, 6,000 lbs.; Joe Tooley, 4,000 lbs.; H. B. McCabe. 7,000 lbs.; O. Riegel, 7,000 lbs.; J. Armacost, 4.000 lbs.: A. P. Noggle, 12,200 lbs.; M. Kettering, 7,300 lbs.; C. Hawkey, 8,900 lbs.; JakWitters, 1,100 lbs.; J. H. Sleppy. 4,000 lbs.; J. H. Ludy, 12,000 lbs.; Walter Threewits, 7,000 lbs.; C. Harter, 10.000 lbs.; D. P. Albright, 5,000; C. Drew. 6.500 lbs.: William Lipps, 7,400 lbs.; William Brinlev. 3,223 lbs.; R. D. Peffley, 2,805 lbs.; R. R. Royer, 1,600 lbs.; H. Kettering. 4,500 lbs.; L. Rush, Y.OOO lbs. In the weights given account of odd pounds have been generally omitted, and the receipts actually weighed in more than the above figures really show. Four cars were loaded before dinner and the last two cars were ready to be pulled out at 4 o'clock. This made a six car shipment, the very first to move out of New Madison in more than 16 months, for the 1917 crop was sold early throughout the Miami Valley, much of it Indeed In the field, and all went promptly forward into the warehouses as 60on as packed. A I n 1917 Leaf. When the buyers invaded the Ohio tobacco fields in quest ot 1917 crops Uncle Sam's boys were heading for an invasion of Germany. Money was a surplus crop just then, and everybody seemingly had it in plenty. Prices on every commodity went skyrocketing and tobacco was no exception. Now the 1917 crop, under ordinary conditions, would be just now coming into use in the manufacture of cigars of the better quality, naturally aged and properly cured. Indeed the men who have some 1917 crop next year at this time will be lucky; that is to say the cigar manufacturer will; for he can make a better cigar than hi3 competitor who has only "younger" leaf. A number of the jobbers who backed their faith with cash, or who took a header on a chance, still have a lot of 1917 leaf stacked up. We know of but few of these, east or west, who can get out from under the load at actual cost of the leaf today; . taking all expenses. shrinkage, etc.. into account. Many j of them have, however, taken their J medicine and made a turn over.; Numerous cigar manufacturers also j have a lot or this high priced leal, which they are using sparingly as a blend with cheaper grades, and those who smoke their output are the sufferers. Nor are pipe tobaccos what they once were. The ageing and mellowing of two to four years is almost a forgotten tradition. Six months' sweating, doctoring, processing, etc.. does the work of two years, and the cheapest leaf possible is often used where clean, bright goods was formerly the rule. We understand that the first shipment of tobacco direct from West 6 Bell-ans

Manchester in well over a year was made by Harry Fudge of Eaton on June 11. Two cars were loaded on that date. We are informed that another lot is expected to go out l'rom this point In a few days. Several parties living near West Manchester have sold at Eldorado. So far as we have been able to learn the Lewis Newbergh company have been by far the largest buyers in Preble county and in adjoining districts. Outside of their purchases to date the sales have been "scattering." Their total shipments, including the six cars from New Madison on Satur
day, comprise 35 carloads. Their purchases in the Ansonia neighborhood will be delivered today, June 16. They expect to take in considerable leaf at Union City. Ind., on Wednesday and to load a few cars at Greenville, Ohio, on Thursday. On Saturday they will ship out a car or two from Pleasant Hill, Ohio. More or less tobacco is being sold in various spots throughout the Miami Valley, but the movement is by no means general, at least not yet. There are many who believe in a future for cigar leaf, are satisfied that they have good tobacco in prime condition and that it will be in wider demand' at higher prices later on. Of men of this faith there are many who expect to have not one crop, but two. to sell later on, unless prices are materially advanced. Indiana News Brevities MONTICELLO About $50,000 loss was suffered when the 350-foot dam of the Interstate Electric company completely wrecked the power plant. MUNCIE Jay Young, 12, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Young of Dalevllle, west of here, was drowned while swimming in the White River. His tody was recovered two hours later.

LOGANSPORT Farmers are alarmed by an invasion of millions of army worms in this county and the southern part of Fulton county. Fields of timothy, rye and corn have been literally cut to the earth. Great trenches are being dug in an effort to check the worms. BOONVILLE Judge Union W. Youngblood held that it was a violation of Nat Roeder's constitutional rights for policemen to snoop around prying into a basket containing liquor carried by him. The police were ordered to return the liquor to Roeder. KNIGHTSTOWN Twenty-three orphans will graduate from the Soldiers' and Sailors' orphans' home here Wednesday. Governor James P.
