paign for New Ten-Year
Pooling Contract.
GREAT INTEREST TAKEN
Present Agreement offers New Ad-
vantages, and by First Of March II
Is Expected Every Grower In Central
Kentucky viii Have Signed.

ficials OF the society tnaJ Dy MarCn l.,
the time set for the closing of the pool,
that nearly every hurley tobacco
grower in Central Kentucky will have
signed.
Copies of the new contracts, en-
bodying, as they do, all the advantages
of easy handling and prompt payment
for tobacco delivered, and at the same
time 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 a num-
Der of decided advantages in the in
terest of both landlord and tenant, the
grower may select his own market,
and when he delivers his tobacco will
get his money at once.
The new contracts, which must be
signed between now and March 1, when
the pool closes, are as follows:
