The Bourbon news., 1911-12-15
Present Agreement Offers New Ad-
vantages, and by First of March IL
is Expected Every Grower in Central
kentucky Will Have Signed.

SOplSS VI the uSW COuIl dCIS, c1u-
bodying, as they do, all the advantages
of easy handling and prompt payment
for tobacco delivered, and at the same
tine insuring to the proposed new Bur-
ley Tobacco Company an adequate
supply for the next ten years for the
proposed mammoth factory at Lexing-
ton, will be distributed by chairmen
of the county boards in each county
in the Burley district.
Interest has awakened surprisingly
since the district board adopted in
Lexington last Tuesday the amend
ments of the executive committee,
which were based upon suggestions Of
growers who did not believe the first
pooling plan contracts were complete.
Under the new contracts, which pre-
serve, in the main, all the advantages
of the original, but which add num-
ber of decided advantages in the in
terest of both landlord and tenant, the
grower may select his own market,
and when he delivers bis tobacco will
get his money at once. EszAs2ss ssssrs
