Tobacco Cooperative i
Marketing Association
Lexington, Ky., Feb. 14.?From the
days when buyers went from bam to tl
barn and bought tobacco, to the high- ii
ly organized Burley Tobacco Coop- I:
erative Marketing Association, which a
- this year is advancing as much mon- T
ey to growes on a 40 per cent basis h
us was paid for the entire crop last f<
season, is the progress made in mar- a
keting Kentucky's annual burley to- g
bacco crop of approximately 200,- h
000,000 pounds. h
The farmers* fight for good prices g
for his product has been one of the ti
ups and downs. The 1020 crop
brought him the highest price he b
ever received from his tobacco, but ti
the 11)21 crop, that cost upwards of tl
18 cents a pound to grow, was sold e
at a loss, the season's average being 1
fourteen and one-half cents. k
With a view to averting a repeti- h
tion of this, Judge Robert W. Bing- n
ham, Louisville newspaper owner, be
came interested in the cooperative s
marketing plan, and in company with p
several growers, visited Barney d
Baruch in New York and laid before ii
him a plan for financing the crop.
On March 28 a meeting of tobacco f
growers from Wisconsin, Indiana, d
Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, h
West Virginia, North and South Car- r
olina and Georgia was held here, at ti
which Aaron Sapiro presented the f
plan under which California fruit and 4
grain growers and other producers 1
are organized. From this meeting
the movement to organize the burley e
tobacco growers was launched, and c
after several months 85 per cent of R
the crop was pledged and the Burley a
Tobacco Cooperative Marketing as- t<
sociation incorporated in North Caro- p
lina. p
When the Kentucky general assembly
met the firt of the year, the tl
Bingham Cooperative Marketing bill d
was passed in record time and the M
association then incorporated in Ken- ii
tueky. In the meantime, however, h
the association had secured 117 to- tl
baceo ware houses in Ohio, Indiana, ti
West Virginia and Kentucky for its
exclusive use. The War finance Cor- p,
poration and the banks in the inter-' ft
ested districts pledged almost $6,000,- p]
000 to the association. cv
On January 26 the warehouses here
were opened for the receipt of pledg- pi
ed tobacco and. it was graded upon l0
delivery by the grower and a check te
for an estimated value of 40 per cent
of the worth of the rcop was advanc- si
ed to the growers. Four days later Gf
the houses throughout the burley dis- Cr
trict were opened and tobacco began
to pour in. a

The first attempt to form a tobacco th
pool took place in Cincinnati in 1897, m
but was short lived. The famous ar
Equity Society, with its attendant
night riding and other evidences of rfl
dissatisfaction, was organized in
1905. The Burley Society was or- je
ganized along similar lines the next er
spring. After several years the
Equity disbanded. The Burley, how- Si
ever, continued to operate. It is
said that never more than 30 per
cent of the crop was pledged to it in
any year. q
The loose leaf warehouse system jn
has been in use during the last few w
years and there are now several hun- cc

Professor Jagger said in explaining

of borings?how hot is the volcano and
what are the steam and water con'n

Georgia some months ago and that
the father left his wife, taking the
two little boys with him to Asheville,

ct there and the little fellows say that
jd they had to undergo so many hardhe
ships in North Carolina that they deal
termined to try to get back to Geora

a- they set out on the trip yesterday
he morning. Attired in clothing several

their teet shod in the toughest sort of

"It is probably true that if the exsoldiers

prefer that the industrial life of
the country should be made healthful
than that a few hundred dollars in

would result more in a measure for
