with the parent body were practical
ly severed when the Hopkins county
members of the Planters Protective
Association held a meeting a, Mad
isonville on Saturday and declared
that they would make no effort to
pool the 1909 crop of tobacco. This
action came as the result of a let
ter written about ten days ago by
Bradley Wilson of Madisonville,
county chairman, who advised the
membership in Hopkins county not
to plc'~e their tobacco. The reason
given for this action was that the
tobacco grown in Hopkins county is
OF type almost altogether suited for
the English trade. and that ii is ad-
visable for every county in Kentucky
where this tobacco is produced TO
get together and form a new organ
ization for the purpose OF controlling
this grade of tobacco.
