2 NEWS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA 1 GROWERS HOLD TOBACCO CROP Increased Acreage in York County This Year, but the Prices Fail to Soar • Mount Wolf. Pa., Jan. 3. —Very little tobacco, if any, of the 1918 production, has been sold by culti vators in this section of the county up to the present time. In the lower end of the county, however, several ] large sales were made. As there is a lull in thetobacco market, growers i are holding for higher prices than ' those at present being quoted. It is | feared however, that the quotations | Will droj), Instead of soar, as was the case last year, when record prices were obtained. I*ast year dealers j were paying as high as 2fi and 28 i cents for wrapper tobacco, while the ) filler brought as high as 5 and 8 j cents. It is claimed that in 1918 the! acreage devoted to the growth of ! the Weed was thrice that of the pre- j ceding year. Although the farmers are holding out for" higher prices, thus far they*have had little oppor tunity to sell. Throughout the Hallam and Druck ! valleys the production of the past year was the finest for some time. Not a sale has been made in either of the two named districts, as far as it is known. Tobacco buyers have visited the vicinity of Long Level and within the past four weeks have bought, more than 75,000 pounds of the 1918 yield at the rate of 17 cents per pound, through. This is the first well authenticated quotation established by a purchase of a con siderable quantity this season. Prac tically all the tobacco bought was lor the C. N. Foreman Company, of Red Lion. Elmer E. Leiphart had disposed of his crop which approxi mated 11,000 pounds. His brother, Oscar Leiphart, also disposed of-his season's crop of about the same size. Others to sell in the vicinity of Long Level were Charles Samuel and Byrd Leiphart, Isaac Newcomer and William Shultz. Last year, it is snid, buyers were so anxious for delivery thatthey Instructed the growers to 1 damped the leaves. Many who did this applied to much water, which resulted in rot.
