Spray Material 



Powdered arsenate of lead has ad- 

 vanced in price 50-75%, and the pros- 

 pects are that it will keep on advancing 

 till spring. Lime-sulphur has increased 

 about 109r. The same reasons for an 

 early order of lime apply as well to 

 spray materials — advances in price and 

 uncertain shipments.

The total acreage for the three 

 counties is as follows: Havana seed, 

 7622 acres; broad leaf, 224 acres, and 

 shade, 985 acres. Hampden county, 

 with 567 acres, leads the others in 

 Massachusetts in the production of to- 

 bacco under cloth. Franklin county has 

 275 acres under cloth, and Hampshire 

 county 143. Havana seed is the prin- 

 cipal variety of tobacco grown. How- 

 ever, the shade-grown tobacco is a com- 

 ing industry in the Connecticut valley. 

 It is more expensive to grow and is 

 usually grown by large syndicates or 

 growers with capital, but it is a more 

 sure crop, being protected from hail, in- 

 sects, etc., and brings a fancy price in 

 the market. No doubt the shade-grovtm 

 industry is here to stay, and this variety 

 of tobacco is likely to increase in acreage 

 year by year. 



The gasoline consumption is unusually 

 low. Ihe tire milage is unusually high
