CARE IN MARKET
ing TOBACCO
CROP URGED
COLONEL DAN WIPED SAYS
1914 YIELD Is ABOVE
THE AVERAGE.

Moderation IN the marketing of the
1914 crop of Burley tobacco as a re-
suit of the tIghtness of the money mar
ket, is the advice of Colonel Dan w.
Peed, the well-known tobacco broker
of Paris who will have his interests
at Lexington with the opening of the
1914 loose leaf sales. Colonel Peed
was at the Phoenix Hotel Yesterday
and said:
Just now the country is face to
face with tight money market due
to the European war. When the time
comes to market the tobacco crop this
condition may change for the better.
it can't get any worse.
THE manufacturers will want the
tobacco, as their supply treasured
from last year is due to run short be-
fore another crop can be grown. If
the manufacturers encounter much diff
ficulty in negotiation their paper for
loans to move the crop, then the farm
er must share in the policy of carry
ing the crop | mean by this that he
must not rush his entire crop on the
market but send in load at time.
When asked if in his opinion the
government would come to the aid of
the tobacco growers as it did the wheat
and cotton growers by placing at the
disposal of banks throughout the Bur-
ley district money with which to ale
the situation, Colonel Peed said:
Such policy would help the situa
ton decidedly. because if the farmer
didn't care to place his tobacco OF
the market he could at least borrow
money, pledging his crop as collateral. ,
Colonel Peed was asked to expires!
an opinion about the crop as it nov
stands in the field, and said:
Bourbon Fayette, Clark. Mont
gomerv, Woodford. Scott and portions
of Nicholas. Harrison and Jessamine
counties have produced the largest
crop Of tobacco ever grown. Bourbon
County has it's banner crop. crop
that will weigh out more than 10. 900,

The increase in those counties will

creased acreage and a poor stand. and
