COMPLETE STANDSTILL
Is The Tobacco Situation In The
Green River District Growers
And Buyers Can't Agree.
HODGE TO INSPECT SAMPLES
No. 20

The tobacco situation in the Green
RIVER district just at present is at
complete standstill. and neither the
buyers nor the growers are in a posi-
tiou to state i'st what the outcome
will be.
The samples at the office Of the
Green River Tobacco Growers asso-
citation have been examined oy MANY
OF the representatives of the largest
tobacco industries in the country, and
all are of the opinion that the price
as fixed by the association of SO to $40
for Jugs and leaf and SO for trash is too
high for the grade of tobacco offered.
They have gone so far as to be frank
with the officials of the associ ations
that IS is about all that they consider
the tobacco is worth, according to the
samples presented to them.
1t is almost certainty that the as
ISOLATION will not come down one pen
ny and will insist that they be paid the
same price as they received last year.
Ii is contended that while some of the
tobacco possibly is not up to the grade
OF last year, the cost of production has
not lessened in the least, and there is
no reason why the farmer should be
asked to take any less than the price
fixed by the association.
The board of control of the Green
River association, which has been in
session most of the past week, adjourn
ed Friday night to meet again on Tues
day, when it is hoped that Mr.. Hodge
of the Imperial Company will be in
Greensboro, and will also make an ex-
animation of the samples. Mr.. Hodge
is now on his way from England and
he is expected to be in this city by
Tuesday.
In the meantime the tobacco grow
ers are telling the association TO stand
pat" and insist on the price as fixed
by it. The fact that no sale has been
made does not disturb the growers to
any great extent, as there has been no
stripping season, and even II the tobac-
co had been sold, it could not be
brought to the market until there is a
season. The indications are not very
favorable for season real soon.

the officials have nothing TO give out.
claiming that while things looked
gloomy just at this time, because the
buyers were much unconcerned about
purchasing the crop at the prices fixed.
the farmers were not discouraged, and
were perfectly willing to wait for re-
suits. -Owensboro Inquirer.
