The union is to be in the nature of

to make such recommendations for
adjustment as shall fifty express the

Buying Tobacco
Far in Advance.

Hopkinsville, KY, May 81
That the tobacco buyers are con-
WINGED that prices will continue
to be high next fall, with proba-
bly, an increase above the high
values now prevailing, is shown
bye the activity with which some
of them are trying to buy crops
this early. In some instances
offers have been made to farmers
before ssthe latter had finished
setting out their plants, and at
best the plants have been in the
fields only few days.
According to verified reports
buyers are offering from 81 to
So for the tobacco. They pro-
pose to enter into contracts to
take it at this price for the entire
crop around, when the tobacco
is ready for market next No
vember or December.
So far as has been learned no
farmer has sold his tobacco on
these terms. One farmer to whom
an offer Of So was made countered
with an offer to take $40. But
as the buyer wouldn't raise his
bid and the farmer wouldn't come
down any, they failed to get to-
gether. In fact, the farmers seem
to be about as thoroughly postec
and as we'll convinced that prices
will be high when the 1916 croE
is ready for sale as are the buyers
They feel sure Of getting at least
the prices that are being Offered
and possibly something more. 81
they are refusing to sell.
This effort to buy tobacco 81
far in advance is something de
cidedly unusal in this region
Always the bids are not forth
coming until the crop is cut
housen and cured up, and tn
buyers either come to the barn
and examine it there or the tc
bacco is offered on some Of tn
loose markets.

localities poor. Wheat is heading
