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.

MURDER CASES
READY FOR TRIAL
Long Scssior of Adams Court
if Collins and Roiilctkcv Are
Tried Separately
Gettysburg, Pa., Jan. 3.—The
coming session ol' Adams county
criminal court promises to be a long
one, running probably for three of
four weeks. The Bushman murder
case will be up the first week, it is
understood, and it is a matter *>f
conjecture just how long this will
take. Whether the defendants, Clar
ence Collins and Charles Rclnecker,
aro to be tried together or separate
ly, has not been determined, but if
<he two trials arc bold, with the
necessity of drawing two juries,
hearing testimony and sp on, it is
likely that several weeks will be
consumed.
There has been some talk of a
change of venue in these cases, tak
ing them to Carlisle for trial, but this
Will not likely come to pass and the
men will be tried here.
\\ ilnesses are now being subpoe
naed and as this must be by personal
service it will take some time.
