TO THE TOBACCO GROWERS OF
CHRISTIAN COUNTY:

Since my former letter, addressed
as above, published in the Kentuckian
several weeks ago, many farmers of
the county have been to me with ex-
pressions of appreciation and approx
al, and / find that much discussion
and exchange of ideas have been go
ing on among them as to the best
method of organization, etc., and in
these exchanges of ideas and sugges-
tions have been much benefited and
enlightened on the subject Especial
ly do make special note of the OBJ
jections raised by the tobacco growers,
the old method that was adopted in
the old organization-many that should
be corrected, | admit.
AS stated in my former letter, the
experience gained in the conduct and
management of the Old Organization
will prove of great value in avoiding
the many mistakes that were made.
One of the greatest objections en-
counter, is this: that they have fear
that not enough tobacco will be
pledged or pooled to bring about fair,
reasonable and living prices. They
seem to have great fear that so many
of the larger growers will stay out of
the organization with the hope that
enough tobacco will be pledged to
enhance the price, and that they can
sit silently by and receive all the ben
efits that the organization would
bring about, and yet be in position
to dicker with the Trust and actually
get more for their tobacco than if
they were in the organization, and
those who expressed this fear point
to many instances of where this was
done under the old organization, but
assure them that do not believe
any such selfishness as this will ever
be displayed again, for these larger
growers have had an object lesson
that proves beyond any question that
the tobacco growers must organize in
order to protect themselves. They
realize that the Tobacco Trust or
Tobacco Organization is out for the
money that they can make out OF il
and will get the tobacco just as cheap
as the circumstances will admit, and
through the power of their organiza'
ton or trust, or whatever you may

Card To Farmers Relating To The Proposed
Reorganization Of Tobacco Association.
desire to call it.

desire to call it.
| have talked to many of the larger
tobacco growers, and | find them al
most to man ready, willing and anx-
ious to protect themselves by organ
ization and want to see it placed upon
high, broad and business lines. In
short, | find on close investigation
that 80 per cent of the members of
the Old Organization realize the i'm
portance Of another organization, and
are anxious, ready and willing to go
into another union, but with this fear
herein mentioned they feel that those
who failed and refused to help the
Old Organization (but received the
benefit just the same) should now
come forward and take the lead, and
when they do, the old members will
almost in solid body, follow their
leadership.
Inasmuch as the old members are
anxious to go in again, this alone
ought to be almost a conclusive argu-
ment as to the benefits to be derived.
They are not guessing at results, but
are speaking from actual facts and
experience.
Now, my farmer friends, and to-
bacco growers, for am one of you:
why will you hesitate to take this
leadership, and place us where we
can get our just dues for our toll and
endurance that it takes to grow to-
bacco?
In conclusion, want to say that
every pledge signed will contain a
provision that unless eighty-fve thou
sand acres $4,000 of tobacco is
pledged, the pledge signed will not
be binding. This certainly should sat
isfy any Doubling Thomas.
