The lokla company's new well, in
section "a 4s3w, is rather disap-
pointing. With the nice showing in
the upper sands an exceptionally
good well was expected, but after
going through the upper sands, the
second sand was found at 1858 feet
and pinched out at / .954 feet. With
the drill on top of this sand the hole
was swabbed and oil shot up over
the derrick, but on drilling through
the one foot of sand the oil settled
back until there was only about 200
feet in the hole. The two sands will

speaker Of much ability and a man
who has given much of his time and
talent to war work.

within the next few days and all who
can find time at noon to attend will be

TOBACCO GROWERS
IN DARK DISTRICT
REBEL AGAINST PRICE
Farmers at 0wensbOrO not Satisfied
With Low Prices Obtained Hold
Indignation Meeting.

Owensboro, KY, December 2-The
expected happened at the opening of
the tobacco market in Owensboro to-
day. The prices did not satisfy the
farmers. The result was that several
hundred growers revolted, held mass
meeting and unanimously voted to
take their tobacco back home, many
of them having driven 80 miles.
The greatest trouble prevailed at
the opening sale at the new Daviess
County Warehouse. When 1t was seen
that the lower grades, that did not sell
under $40 a hundred pounds last year,
were going in some instances as low
at 81, Ben Lott, of Hancock County,
mounted q girder in the warehouse
and urged the farmers not to allow
their tobacco to be sacrificed at such
low prices.
At a meeting attended by at least
500 farmers, Henry s. Berry told the
farmers they were towards If they did
not stand for higher prices A number
of similar speeches were made.
A motion was adopted that every
farmer who had tobacco on the loose
leaf floors take it back home. Com
mittees were appointed to meet in
every community in the district on
Thursday and appoint delegates to a
meeting to be held in Owensboro Sat-
urday, when plans for an organization
will be discussed.
AT the warehouses in the western
section of the city better feeling pre-
vailed. At the Owensboro Warehouse
300,190 pounds of dark tobacco sold at
an average of $14.37 There we're only
five or six reflections by the farmers
announced. Last year the average on
the opening day was 1869. In 1914
it was $11.S2, and in 1915 $4.6S. It
was admitted on every hand that a
good lot Of tobacco was offered today,
but tobacco of a like quality brought
higher prices last year.
