River Tobacco Growers association,
which is the district organization of
the A. S. of E. with conditional pro-
vision for membership of independ-
ent growers, was held in Greensboro
Friday. National President Daven-
port, of Cisney. KY. and National
Secretary Taylor. of Indianapolis,
Ind, were present.
Reports were heard on the acre
age canvass. Although these re-
ports were not complete. they indi-
cate that the ninety-fve per cent.
of growers made necessary by the
Monarch resolution before a CONSOLE
dalton with the Independents on
pooling can be effected, will be tasi-
ly obtained.
The question of building a dis
trict warehouse was brought up,
and warehouse committee was ap-
pointed, consisting of J. E. Minnett,
Hancock; James P. Foster, Ohio; s.
b. Robertson and James 3. Moseley,
Mclean, and George ". Taylor, Da-
viess. After brief consideration,
this committee submitted The follow
ing report:
I'VE, your committee On ware
house, submit the following report:
Finding that great saving can be
effected by owning our own ware
house for priced tobacco. and also
realizing that it will be greatly to
our advantage to have al. Of the to-
bacco of this district held as a whole
at some central point, under the
control of one committee, we recon-
mend that a district warehouse be
established in Owensboro for the
storing of priced tobacco. That so
far as they may deem advisable. the
other counties may ship their tobac-
co to it for storage. and that all Of
the type samples be shipped there,
and placed in the hands of the dis
trict executive committee.
I'VE recommend that a ware
house company be organized at once,
to be known as the Green River
Tobacco Warehouse company, with
a capital stock of from seven to ten
thousand dollars, in shares Of ten
dollars each. No man to be allowed
to subscribe for over twenty-five
shares. Proper regulations to be
made to insure its continued control
by Equity men.
1--WE further recommend that a
committee be appointed, consisting
of three members from each county,
who shall take subscriptions for
stock, and when the amount neces-
sary shall have been subscribed,
shall have full power to have the
said warehouse company organic

The discussion Of this report was
spirited, and brought out great di-
versity of opinion. After a num-
Der Of speeches had been made, the
matter was finally referred to a
ways and means coMmittee compOs-
ed of S. b. Lee, Daviess; David
Moreland, Ohio; J. Z. Minnett, Han
cock; Silas Miller, Breckenridge. and
S. b. Robertson, Mclean. This
committee has no power TO make
final arrangements. but is simply to
report its opinion of the best meth
Cd of handling the 1906 crop.
The question Of establishing head
quarters of the National Tobacco
Growers association in greensboro
was brought up and discussed by
National President Davenport, Ma
tional Secretary Taylor, L. n. Rob-
ertson, Vice President Of Dayiess
county, and others. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion that it would be much
better to have the head Office in Ow-
