Roosevelt's refusal of the Kaiser's invitation for an American battle ship squadron to accept German hospital!- tv at Kiel brings out varied express ions from the German dailies.

The famine In Finland grows more &'.ute daily and the suffering of the populace has been aggravated by the entire lack of meat, milk and potatoes.

Tl.cn IC3Ij u! J r Whit Caused It? Southern Tobacco Journal. , . , : Some of the political papers, and number of tobacco men as well take Jw position that the reduction in prices ot tobacco was caused by tne Auieri ;an and the Imperial Tobacco Merger, Id tnls we do not altogetner agree. 4, The Imperial , would, nave- been a competitor, it is true,' but not to the extent of flxinir and maintaining prices, The high prices were caused largely by an underestimate of the leaf produc tion." Calculations were evidently IUUU, tl97U UVU VklV V. 1 tuu iaUKU as compared to preceding ' years, and the average production per acre. As it turned out there was an unDrecedent- ediy large yield per acre. We believe we are safe la saying there was a 50 per cent, increase, and pebaps more, in pounds produced per acre, than the same acreage yielded the two or three preceding years. ' .... - . v s Fortunately for farmers, 75 per cent of the crop was narWt at very high prices, and It mUit ia.so be remembered thatmilllons of pounds of tobacco were sold at these high prices after the American Tobacco company had swal lowed the Imperial Another question arises. Every to bacco firm, independent trust firms, and all bought more largely for the same length of time than ever before, Money and room to handle became a Question. Never before in the history of the trade was tobacco rushed to market in such large quantities, ' Mil lions of dollars were poured out daily on the combined home markets, Every available space ; was required for handling, and taking alt these: things into consideration, a reason may,- .be found for the reduction in prices. - We take the position that prices of tobacco are largely controlled; by the supply and demand. we say una is largely aha case, but not altogether. for the financial condition of the coun try has something to do with the regn lating of prices on all products. .To bacco is not selling low; now. Farmers are generally satisfied..; As to the. fu ture we all know-, that - larger crop will effect prices some. We do not, however; look for low prices "for some time to come. Labor conditions are not favorable to a heavy acreage in crease, and we do not believe that any one concern will absolutely control the tobacco business of the country. - Advice On Tobacco Culture. Sampson Democrat. We would not say a word towards discouraging our farmers in the, cul ture of tobacco, but only. Insist that thev plant with some judgment. We think every farmer who has suitable: tobacco land, should plant some. Our j opinion is, that the man who this year makes a heavy yield in pounds per acre, and then bas tne quality, or tne nice smooth oily texture in the tobac co, .will be the man who will make the money, but he who makes about ball of a crop of low grade atuff.Vwili;; be left entirely out, and would be better off not to plant a stalk." In other words plant with 1 the determination to make not less than 1,000: to 1,200 pounds per acre, of tobacco with color and life in It; and in order to do that, first week In May, ana let it lack, lor nothing in the way of cultivation UU1 in curing and Handling. We have heard some of our tobacco men say. (though they were new men in the business and know nothing about it) that they expect to plant say 5 or 6 acres and intend to put 400 pounds of low grade fertilizer per acre. Well, in every case we have advised a change of plan, which is this: instead of the 6 acres with 400 pounds of guano of a low grade per acre, plant only 2 or 3 acres and put 800 to 1,000 pounds of the highest grade you can buy. If you get the quality in vour tobacco, and then the weight, you must grow it into it in the field. , We will not see tobacco prices as high in all probability, any more, as they; were last year, but we look for paying prices still, provided the weed is grown in the manner outlined above. Now that the price is lower, It is most natural consequence for Quality to cut more of a figure than before, soi make all the bright wrapper tobacco you can, and ail tne pounds you can per acre, and you will likely succeed.
