Burnley POOL
And Cut out 1912 Crop is Plan Of
American Society Of
Equity.

Elizabethtown KY, April 1S-Mr NJ
F. Sharp of Narrows. Ohio county,
PRECEDENT of the American Society of
Equity, was in this city Friday en-
route to Chicago, ILL.,, to preside over
the melting of the National Board of
Directors of the Society which met in
that city Saturday. Mr.. Sharp says
that the Society of Equity is in a more
flourishing condition. than at any time
in its history and it is organizing new
unions in every county in the Stat
for general agricultural purposes, and
that most strenuous effort will be
made to organize new adherents in
Kentucky for pooling purposes, or TO
control the tobacco output each year
hencefOrth. PRECEDENT Sharp also said
that the American Society of Equity,
whose strength will probably be doub-
led this year, will endeayor TO pool
the 1911 crop of Burnley tobacco and
to cut out the 1912 crop.
The 1911 pool will be formed provid
ed that 10000 acres of hurley is
pledged by the tobacco grlwers by Nov
ember l, 1911 or before that date.
The tobacco pledge of the Society
OF Equity is entirely in the interest
of the tobacco g rowers and gives
them more latitude or home-rule.
In other words, each county handles
it's own tobacco and there will be no
co-mingllng of the product with
other counties, unless by the consent
of the counties Interested.
The expenses of the County Board
and the State Board, and the cost
of handling the crop will be paid out
of levy of only 2 cents on each
pound of tobacco marketed which is
considerably less than the charges
made by other tobacco associations
which have heretofore formed pools,

Board proposes of tins counties so

the Farmers Union have failed to
establish cut-out in any year, and
the only salvation of the tobacco
growers depends solely upon their
utilization with the Equity. If they
wish to throttle the tobacco trusts,
it is to their interest to join the
Equity, and if they are disposed to
remain suckers" for the tobacco
manufactors to fleece, all that is
necessary for them to accomplish
this object is to remain inactive
and to refuse to join the Society.
