Burnley Figures.

The District Board of the BurIey
Toll eco Society convened at Lexipp-
ton tuesday, had about thirty thous-
and acres OF the 1910 crop reported as
pooled. A member of the Board stated
that there is now in existence about
two hundred THOUSAND acres of the
1910 cop and one hundred and twenty
thousand acres of the 1909 clop. Of
this the Builey society controls one
hundred nd fifty thousand acres and
thought that within thirty days the
society would control seventy-fve per
cent of it. President Lebus advised
against sals of the 1909 tt bacco ur
til success of the present pool was as
sured, and he urged that the price un
the 1910 crop should be as high II not
higher than that to be recei, ed for the
1909 tobacco. He said that the society
is in undisputed control of the stu
alton, but the measure Of its power at
the time must be the strength of the
1910 pool. In regard to the apathy of
the Blue Grass counties, Lebus advised
that the reliable counI,es t. pool as
quickly as psssible and then bring con-
centrated effort to bear on other coun-
ties. Hon. John M. Stevenson was
present and by request addressed the
meeting. Accounts from many coun-
ties were distinctly encouraging, while
reports from the Blue Grass were not.
