Probably the Burley crop in Kentucky was cut down by half. One estimate places it at 25.000,000 pounds in 1908 as against 220. 100000 in 1907. The crusade had achieved at least the semblance to fam inc. President Clarence Le Bus of the Burley Tobacco society, felt at last that he was adequately armed for another battle with R. K. Smith, chief buyer of the American Tobacco company.
 "As early as August. 1908, the talk of negotiations began. Banks were pressing the growers for money loaned on their tobacco certificates. The country banks were at the end of their resources. The merchants could bor- row no money. The city banks felt the stringency. Louisville banks alone had $4000 900 out on tobacco paper Tobacco was the one word on every tongue in Kentucky the same as money is in New York. The Equity growers fretted rebelliously against their lead CTS. But months of hardship lay be- fore them yet.
 ''Le Bus and Smith did not get to- gether until November. Each, with his henchmen. met at the Louisville hotel in Louisville on Friday the 18th.
 ''Tobacco certificates were bought up right and left through the Burley dis
 
 pound found taker. In Bourbon coun- ty for instance, at least half the pooled tobacco passed from the hands of the growers to the speculators.
 "On November 19 Mir Le Bus and Mr. Smith held their final meeting, and at it's close issued the following statement
 :. The American Tobacco company has bought 75 per cent of the 1906 pooled to- bacco at schedule prices and 75 per cent of the 1907 pooled tobacco at graded prices to average r cents round.
 R. K. SMITH.
 't'CLARENCE LIE BUS.' "The few cents had been added to the price of a pound of tobacco. The Burley society had won Its great fight. The deal meant a cash sale of 10000, GOO pounds of tobacco for about s13,000,O00 an unthink- able bulk of produce for an unthinkabe number of dollars and cents, the largest sale of the kind in the history of the world.
