says.
r. E. O'Flynn, an Owensboro
buyer, has put In bid for every
pound Of tobacco held by the Con-
solidated Tobacco Growers associa-
ton in Daviess. Mclean. Ohio and
Muhlenberg counties.
The prices offered by Mr.. O'Flynn
are from $ll to IS for leaf and
Tugs, and from 50 to 81 for trash.
If there is any tobacco that falls
under the S. sample. 1t will be
graded for what It Is worth down to
-. II the tobacco is worth IS or
$3.50. the grower will be paid that
price.
The OFlynn proposition, II ac-
cepted. will call for the delivery OF
all the tobacco in Greensboro. For
tobacco outside Of Daviess county
OFiynn will pay the grower an ex-
ira fee of 25 cents on the 100
pounds for hauling 1t to Ovens
boro
Il had rother pay the extra
money to the farmer than for rent
ais for warehouses at outside points
and freisht rates." said MIR. OFiynn
on Tuesday night.
Is the tobacco Ii sold TO OF1ynn
he will Immediately make arrange
mnets to handle every pound OF it
In Greensboro. He will then resell
the pool to the highest bidders, CIV
ing every buyer IN the district an
equal chance. The tobacco Is to be
graded when delivered, by the
graders selected by the poolers. n
there Is a dispute over a grade,
O'Flynn has agreed that Sales Man
ager Hobson shall have the right to
settle all disputes. and that his
ruling will be final
The price offered for the top
grade Is 81 on the hundred pounds
above that secured by the Green
River-EQuity pool a few days ago.

OFlynn stated on Tuesday night.
that in his opinion. the proposition
Is the best one that has ever been
made TO the growers. He has the
assurance OF practically all of the
Greensboro buyers that they will bid
on the tobacco after he has secured
the pool. BY O'Flynn handling the
entire pool he will be in q, position
to give each buyer the particular
grade his trade calls for.
In addition to the O'Flynn offer |
the executive board OF the consoii-
dated Tobacco Growers association. |
has bids for the entire pool fnom |
Greensboro buyers on a contract |
similar to that recently closed with |
the Green River-Equity board of
control. The prices for the Green J
River-Equity pool ranged from $40
to Sc for leaf and luss and from
s. to s. for all trash. Tobacco that
failed TO come up to the No. So
sample is being graded at 81.
The buyers who bought the Green
River-Equity pool. have announced
that they will not offer an increased
price for the Consolidated holdings.
Sales Manager Hobson. Of the
Consolidated, stated on Tuesday
night that the executive board will
be in session again today, and both
OF the propositions will be carefully I
gone over. He declared that call
will probably be made for county

solidated association for the latter I
part OF the week.
