Fridays races. which closed the
fall meet, were up to the average,
and the large crowd was given a run
for their money. The free-for-dl
frot was the main attraction. and the
warmest heat that was run during
the entire series was when Billy
Buck went home In the third heat.
The big crowd turned loose and the
cheers and applause that met the
Paducah horse were deafening. Billy
Buck had almost an even chance TO
win the big trot, but at critical times
he broke, and the honors went to Red
Wood, horse shipped from Evans
vile yesterday especially for the race.

splendid lead. Once more Red Wood
worked nicely and went up and rob
bed Billy Buck of second place.
Time of heat, 2:17A
In the second heat they were of
quickly with Billy Buck a little back.
Red Wood was in the lead with
Frank II. pushing him all the time
AT the three-quarter mark Billy Buck
jumped up and went into the bunch.
Billy Buck went under first by a nose
and beat Frank H. He lowered the
track record held by Snider Nc
Gregor from 2:16Is to 2:1GA.
The third heat was the most ex-
citing of all the races during the
3eet. The horses went of with
Red Wood in the lead and Billy Buck
In second place. Billy Buck closed
mp the distance on the first round
and went Ike a watch. Billy Buck
made one break on the last turn, but
was steady in a few seconds, and on
the home stretch beat out Red Wood
for FIRST place, amid long cheers.
Time of heat, 2:1S.
Billy Buck led in the fourth heat,
but Frank H. crept in the lead. Billy
Buck was first to break, but in a
second Frank II. broke and Red

Revolt of Farmers In tho Blue
Grass State Against the
Tobacco Trust.
HAD MANY TRAGIC FEATURES.
how the Fight Was Forced on the
Growers-Night Riding and
Its Crimes.

Kentucky is the tobacco State. While
Jhe produces hemp, wheat, corn, horses,
hogs and cattle in abundance and with
profit, tobacco IS her great cash crop.
OF the 40 counties (mountain, blue
grass and Westerly there are few II
any which do not consider the plant
staple. 1t is the crop which costs the
most to produce, calls for the greatest
amount of labor, most rapidly deblli-
tates the SOLE under normal condi-
tons, brings the greatest returns.
Kentucky may be divided into four
large districts. with four separate and
distinct types Of tobacco, none Compel
Ing with the others. In the extreme
western part Of the State is the dark
tobacco district (Which includes about
twenty counties in Kentucky and ten in
Tennessee). There the growers are or
ganized into what is known as the
Planters Protective Association, with
headquarters at Guthrie. The tobacco
grown in this district has a very large,
almost black leaf. While some Of it is
used in domestic manufacture the bulk
of the crop is exported to England
Then comes the stemming district of
seven or eight counties, so called be-
cause the stem is removed from the leaf
before marketing. Nearly the entire
crop is exported to England, France
and Italy.
The Green River section includes six
or seven counties and produces to-
bacco midway between the dark tobac-
80 and the white hurley. 1t is used in
both the domestic and export trade.

much Of It must be done in the most
inclement season.
The producers had nothing to say as
to the price. The trust made its offer
and 1t was case Of take 1t or leave 1t
alone. The farmers were rapidly being
reduced from AN independent and pros
porous condition to one Of almost servi-
tude and with actual want staring
them in the face.
Finally the dark tobacco growers or
ganized as the Planters Protective AS
ISOLATION and pooled their tobacco.
They held out for two years before sell
ing a pound. Then the raw material
in the market became exhausted and
the trust was forced to come and buy
at the pool price Of 8 cents instead of
its own price of 3 cents. These organ
lied producers and the American To-
bacco Company are now working I'M

have been for two years.
With this splendid example Of the
power of union before them the OF

owing to the pooled and stored Tobacco

By far the largest district is that

By far the largest district is that
where white hurley Is grown. This in
cludes from forty-two to ffty-fve coun-
ties and, roughly speaking, embraces all
of the State east Of Louisville, Mays
vile and Mt. Sterling. Two counties in
Indiana and three in Ohio also produce
white hurley tobacco. This peculiar
grade can be grown nowhere else III the
world. 1t Is used almost entirely In
domestic trade and from it the very
highest type Of plug chewing tobacco is
made.
The tobacco producers Of the stem
ming, Green River and white hurley
districts are very generally organized
under the Kentucky Union of the
American Society of Equity.
The American Society Of Equity Is a
national organization of farmers. Its
objects are the improvement of meth

new and improved seeds, social inter-
