ACREAGE CUT 20 PER CENT
Only One Season For Setting Plants
Continued Orouth Is Responsible.

Lexington. Ky.-According to re-
ports received by the Burley Tobacco
Society at its headquarters here, only
80 per cent of the average acreage of
tobacco was planted in the white Bur
ley district this year. and in many
cases the growing crop Is very thin on
the ground. due to the fact that there
was only one season for setting plants
this year and that the long-continued
drouths have killed large per cent
of what was set out. 1t is stated by
the Burnley officials that it is yet i'm
possible to estimate the probable size
of the crop as compared with former
years at this time, as recent rains
have in many sections materially i'm
proved conditions and it is yet posi-
Bile that the yield per acre will APP
proximate that of former years, al
though that is considered rather i'm
probable.
