1919 ACREAGE MUCH LARGER THAN IN 1918

Ohio Growers Cut Down Planting Cigar Leaf Reduced. Editor's Note:-- Th following article is a comprehensive survey of the tobacco crop of 1019, prepared by the 'inclnnatt Knquirer, and printed In Us issue of July 8. -

ment's final estimate for 1918 placed the cigar leaf acreage at 208,800 acres, and the production at 260,592,000 pounds, which would indicate a shrinkage for the current year. The difference is to be attributed to figures representing the Ohio area, however, reports of Enquirer correspondents failing to afford any foundation for the extremely heavy acreage officially reported last year.

The tobacco crop of the United States will be larger this year than it was in 191S, if the statistics gathered by The Enquirer in every tobacco-

producing section of the country are to be regarded as reflecting the actual acreage planted, , . - A crop report at planting time can be Taken only as a basis for making estimates of the probable production fit harvest time, but The Enquirer's tobacco crop estimates in previous ; ears have invariably been substantiated by the quantities of tobacco disposed of during the following sales season in the open markets. This year conditions for the most part seem to have been favorable to the setting out of the crop in almost f-very section, and while apparently there has been little if any effort to materially increase the acreage, growers generally were encouraged by the Iiigh prices paid for the 191S crop to prepare more ground than last season. Kentucky, the world's largest single tobacco-growing section, while establishing no new record, seems to have sot out one of its largest crops. North Carolina will run a close second to Kentucky this year with acreage almost as great. South Carolina reports a larger area set to tobacco than in

1918, and Virginia compares favorably with a slight increase. Of the other important producers, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee seem to have set out a smaller crop than In 1918, with the greatest proportionate shrinkage in the first named. Record Crop Indicated Statistics carefully compiled by The Enquirer from the reports of correspondents in every tobacco-producing ounty in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, find from all the important growing ftatea, indicate a total area set to tobacco in, the United States In 1919 of 1.564,704 acres. This is an increase over the acreage reported from the Bame sources for 1018 of 68,668 acres, or almost 5 per cent. The government's final estimate of the 191S acreage was 1,549,000 acres. Thus an increase over those figures of 15,704 acres, or slightly more than 1

per cent, is indicated for h-rarrent

year, and inasmuch as the area last year was the largest ever recorded for the entire United States, it is not unlikely that the crop harvested at the close of this season- will be a recordbreaker In every respefctk An estimate of the probable production of tobacco in the various sections, based upon the average yield per" acre for the past ten years, indicates a total harvest of 1,315,681,025 pounds of tobacco for 1919, an Increase over the estimates from the same sources for last year, of 39,924,575 pounds, or more than 3. per cent. Compared with the final estimate of the 1918 crop by the government, which was given at 1,340,019,000 pounds, there would be an apparent reduction in yield this year amounting to 24,337,975 pounds, or not quite 2 per cent. This difference may be attributed to the varying conditions in the important producing

sections at planting time and favor

able growing seasons during July and August, as well as early September,

will contribute much to the expansion of the Enquirer's estimate which may be regarded as somewhat conservative. In the Burley belt there will unquestionably be a larger crop than last year, though the increase may be comparatively slight. A careful tabulation of the reports received indicates a distribution for the Burley belt as follows; Burley Acreage. 1919 1918 Kentucky 255,400 238,720 Indiana 10,235 9.604 Ohio 8.36S 8.6S1 West Virginia 15,000 12.000 All others 5,000 3,500

Report by states. Connecticut Acreage set to tobacco slightly larger than last year. Early condition of the crop favorable. Florida Conditions at planting time were good. Acreage heavier than last year and outlook for fine yield. Louisiana The planting season was 15 to 20 days late on account of bad weather conditions. Practically entire crop is grown in St. James county, is of the very dark, strong variety known

as Perique. Maryland The tobacco crop will be an average one, planted under favorable conditions. ' Massachusetts Conditions at planting time this year were very good. The plant beds were early and the crop went into the fields in good time. Early growth is splendid. Missouri After a favorable transplanting 6eason rains set in and materially retarded the early growth of the crop. North Carolina The planting sea

son was as nearly perfect as could ba desired. Plant beds were generally early. Condition of the crop is the best at this time of the year in the history of the state, which has increased its crop of tobacco annual in the past two years by about 150,000,000 pounds. To date more than 300,000,000 pounds of last year's crop have een marketed at an average of 36

cents per pound. Pennsylvania The outlook for the tobacco crop is favorable. Yield expected to be close to that of last year. Tennessee The tobacco acreage is about 75 per cent of average. Lack of seasons prevented full setting of the crop, much tobacco land going to grass before it could be worked. Practically all of last year's crop sold. Unprecedented prices prevailed until near the close of selling season when there was a drop on account of orders being filled. Poor crop conditions and the prospect of the speedy opening of the German and Austrian markets sent the prices back to the old level on the closing sales. Virginia Plants were rather scarce on account of fields sacked by flies late in May. Rainy season helped in the planting period. Prospect is for big crop of fine quality. West Virginia Weather conditions at planting time were cool and wet. Plant beds were a trifle late, but conditions as a whole were favorable. Some labor shortage was reported, however, due to attractive industrial wages. Wisconsin Plant beds were about normal this year and early growth of the crop seems excellent. The production will be about on a par with last year, possibly a trifle smaller. Ohio By Counties. Brown The drouth prevented setting the plants, although the beds were early and plants were healthy and plentiful.

Butler Dry weather retarded the planting in May and June. No damage by frost or hail reported. Normal conditions prevail. Clark Plant beds were late, and

transplanting was handicapped by dry

weather. Ivabor is scarce and high.

Clermont The planting season was

favorable, but many plants have since

died from the excessive heat. Darke A severe drouth delayed planting, and many fields intended for tobacco have been used for corn. Greene Plant beds were early and conditions have been generally favorable. The early growth was retarded by hail storms, which did little real damage, however. Highland Good transplanting season. Prospect for small but good crop. Acreage is increased. Logan The season has been late this year. No trouble with plant beds reported. Growing Conditions Ideal. Montgomery A favorable planting season followed the late plant beds, which suffered from cold weather in May. Present growing conditions ideal. Reduction in tobacco acreage because of increased wheat planting. Paulding Practically no commercial tobacco raised. Preble Planting conditions were unfavorable. Weather was too hot. Heart worm is causing growers trouble. Disappointing prices for last crop is cause of decreased acreage. Scioto Dry weather made a poor planting season. First plants were destroyed by the black flea in the beds. Late planting conditions have been more favorable. Shelby Fair season and good outlook for crop. Wayne Ground was very wet at planting time. Beds were rather late. Outlook for crop fair. Ohio Acreage.

An estimate of the probable burley yield for 1919, based upon average yields in different sections, may be made at 27,302. SCO pounds, as against a total production reported from the Fame sources for 191S, of 257.963,950 pounds, making an increase for the current year of 20.3SS.900 pounds or S per cent. The government's final estimate of the 191S burley crop placed the average at 2S0.003. and the production at 269.08S.0O0. both of which figTires are exceeded this year. In the dark tobacco sections of Kentucky, scattering spots in Indiana and in the vast tobacco growing area of Tennessee familiarly known as the Black Patch, reports at hand indicate n total acreage tor 1919 amounting to 267.837 acres, against 244,524 for last year, making an increase of 23.308 acres, or about 9 per cent.

MRS. E. MORGAN GAINS 22 POUNDS TAKING TANLAC

Was Told An Operation Was Her Only Hope Is Entirely Restored to Health. "Anyone who had noticed the dreadful condition I was In can readily see the wonderful change Tanlac has made in me," 6aid Mrs. E. M. Morgan, residing at 1817 Norton street, Kansas City, Missouri, in telling of the remarkable benefits Bhe has derived from the medicine, recently. "I have actually gained twenty-two pounds in weight on five bottles of Tanlac," she continued, "and have improved so much that my neighbors often speak of it. My health had been all broken up for more than a year and I was so nervous that the least noise would upset me. My appetite left me and what little I did eat would sour on my stomach, causing gas and intense pain. I would Moat terribly and during these times my heart would palpitate frightfully, almost cutting off my breath, and I was so weak and dizzy that I could not walk a block without stopping to rest. I was badly constipated, had raging headaches, and was losing weight and strength all the time. I would roll and toss most all night, unable to sieep, and would get up in the mornings even more tired than on going to ted. I was constantly under treatment and all the time taking some kind of medicine, but nothing helped me and I finally got right down in bed. "At the time I got Tanlac I had been confined to my bed for a month. I had been told that an operation would be necessary and was almost in despair, as I always had a horror of the operating table and the knife. Up to this time I had not thought seriously about Tanlac being good for me, although I had often read the wonderful results others claimed to get from it. But. being so anxious to avoid an operation. I decided first to try Tanlac and sent for two bottles. Well, before I had finished my second bottle my appetite was better, the gas stopped forming on my stomach and I did not suffer from shortness of breath and palpitation any more. Now, to put it all in a few words, my nerves are normal and I have no more headaches, dizzy spells or trouble of any kind. Tanlac has not only relieved me of my physical suffering, but It has eased my mind, too, as I fully believe It has saved me from an operation. I can truthfully say Tanlac has made me feel like a new person and I can't praise it enough." Tanlac is sold in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwalte; in Greensfork, by c. D.
