would all be marketed at home, and
we could reasonably expect half that
amount to come from neighboring
counties, making it very reasonable
for US to expect at least ten million
pounds of tobacco to pass over the
local breaks annually.
Go to Danville, Lexington, Richmond,
any loose leaf market, watch the sales.
hear the auctioneer as he goes down
the long line of baskets, now he comes
to Garrard county crop, hear him,
hear his talk to the buyers, it is some
thing like this "Well, well, see here
boys, here is Garrard county crop,
from THE HOME OF GOOD TOBAC-
co, get on your bidding clothes now
and come and get SOMETHING
GOOD, and the "boys" do get on
their buying clothes, and the con-
sequence is the Garrard county crop
tops the market price for that days
sales. And to the cheek of every man
present from Garrard county comes
the tinge of shame that the pro-
duct of his native county must be
brought to a market away from home,
instead of having one at home as should
have been years ago.
But all this is preliminary, let US to
the point; concerted movement is on
foot to establish market in Lancas.
ter. YOUR telp is needed, you can aid
materially, the shares are 800. and il
is the desire to raise $25, 200. Subscrip.
tion paper are in the hands of various
parties and every farmer and grower
in Garrard county who can possibly dc
SO, should take just as many shares a:
he possibly can in order to assure the
success ofthis movement. Now beal
in mind you are not asked or expected
to GIVE anything, subscribing fol
stock does not mean that you are max
ing donation, 1t means that you ar,
making an investment, and that it is {
good one, the eagerness with which
loose leaf stock in other towns is beinl
sought, fully demonstrates. But tht
idea now is to secure the subscription
of enough stock to build the warehouse
and beyond any doubt that stock vii
be worth par value by the time tn,
very first sale is made in the loca
warehouse. No use pointing out tn
advantages of a home market, the,
are manifold and have been time ant
again pointed out to you through thes,
columns, the idea has now become
tangible one, men are working at it
interested in it, who will if you will as
sist them, establish a home market
but you must signify by your willing
ness to aid that you are in favor o
this home market for your tobacco.
Think of the advantages that 20,
will derive individually from a hom
market, also give a thought to tn
ipride of your home county, think tha
all around US in surrounding counties
lwho do not raise one half the amour
of tobacco that Garrard does, are mar
kets, and we are compelled to go t
them with our crops, when we ha
just as well have marketed it on
home market, and thereby derive a
and every advantage for our selves.
Weigh the matter carefully, look a
it from every standpoint, what mat
ters it who has subscribed, or who re
fuses, who will or who will not aid j
the matter, your interests will be safe
guarded, the entire matter will be j
the hands of your home people. and be
cause one of your neighbors does nc
take kindly to che idea is no reaso
why you should withhold your assis

your crop and he will not help you t
market it, place it in your power t
market it at home, and to the YER
best possible advantage. and wlthou

tended the marketing in the years past
