Mr.. Cohen's Argument.

At a meeting held in Louisville and
in Lexington Mr.. Cohen said that &C
reage figures presented to the Depart
ment Of agriculture of the State indi-
Gated that the crop this year would
surpass in volume that grown in Ken
lucky last year. Last years crop was
the largest in the history Of the State.
Prices were also the highest in history
or all grades of tobacco. He called
attention to the fact that prices dur
ing the past six weeks had declined
approximately 30 per cent, because
of a falling off in the demand, due TO
the ending Of the war He predicted
bankruptcy for Kentucky tobacco far
mers unless there was an immediate
and drastic curtailment OF the crop.

Shipping Affects Prices.

prices on all grades Of tobacco at
the present time are considerably be-
low the high level prevailing earlier
this year, but this is not due to an ac-
tual surplus of tobacco. The bulk
Of tobacco that is being offered for
sale now is of very low grade and for
eign shipping conditions demoralized
by the war, have been such that for
eign shipments have been curtailed.
Manufacturers with large stocks of
tobacco of all grades on hand have
hesitated to continue loading up un-
til they could see an outlet for their
present stocks. Consequently prices
have declined and they will continue
at this level until there is a prospect
Of improved foreign shipping condi-
tions, and then we can look for rise
in prices.
There is PROFESSIONALLY very
large shortage Of tobacco throughout
the world. AID the United States will
be called upon to IN this deman!. and
those farmers who go in for large
eiop will oerta nly not miss it.
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1919-05-08
Says Curtailment Not Ne .ded.

"'fhe campaign Tor crop curtail-
nent, based on the assumption that
there is an over-production of tobac-
co, is wrong, and, furthermore, it
was undertaken at a time when it was
impossible for farmers to change
their plans without great loss in
many instances, because the land
had already been bought or rented
and prepared for the crop. A cam
paign Of this character started at that
tin.t would ..:neely result in curtail-
ment.
The crop this year will be, un-
doubtedfy, unprecedentedly large,
and prices will be such that farmers
will profit"
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1919-05-08
American Tobacco Company. Vie,

An officer of the American Tobacco
Company discussing the situation.
said There is undoubtedly a shortage
of tobacco throughout the world and
prices for the next crop will be at
point where there will be a good pro-
fit for the producer. These prices
will probably not be as high as those
prevailing during the greater part of
this year, because of the abnormal
war conditions, but the demand will
be great enough 10 keep rrices well
above the cost of production and
farmers are bound to make money.
Tobacco growers IN foreign countries
have been unable to produce tobacco
or the normal scale because CT war
conditions and there has been
greater use of American tobacco than
ever before. In the past, foreign
countries have used principally the
heavy types of tobacco grown in this
country, but with the increased use
of Burley abroad and the enforced
use of Burnley to supply the deficiency
of dark or heavy tobacco in the Unit
ed States, Burnley tobacco must be in
greater demand.
I'm addition to this there has been
an enormous increase in the use of
cigarettes all over the world, and es-
pecially in the United States. We
have begun a more extensive use of
hurley tobacco in the manufacture Of
this article, and this increased use
will make further drain on the bur
ley market.
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1919-05-08

Arguments presented against cur
tailment were to the effect that the
ground had already been rented OF
bought; that it had been prepared for
the crop, entaling large labor costs
and that the beds were sprouting and
that to abandon a large portion Ct the
crop would mean an immediat, finan-
cial loss to those involved, whereas
there was a prospect for farmers to
sell their tobacco to advantage when
shipping facilities to foreign coun-
tries became more normal.
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1919-05-08
Assertions As To Shortage.

AsseTttOns AS o shortage.
Last Thursday tine extension divis-
ion of the College Of Agriculture Of
the Kentucky University announced
that statistics gathered by that organ
ization showed there is scarcely any
tobacco IN foreign countries outside
Of the army of occupation, and that
the immediate needs Of those coun-
tries are estimated at 500,O00.0 900
pounds to till the stocks Of manufac.
turers and dealers. This takes no
account of stocks in the hands Of
consumers. The crop of last year
provided an exportable surplus Of
only iOo,000.0O0 pounds, despite tn,
fact that it was the largest crop on
record.
In view of the wider market that
will be presented when ocean ship
ping becomes riore readily available,
It is argued by ,'fic-.s of N, State
College that tIore will! be absorbed I'll
of the urrlus that might rcsu': from
cven a greater crop this year The
language cf the statement ISSUED by
the Coll ge Of Agriculture Is very en-
phatic:
Talking into consideration the alb
normal conditions IN the worlds to-
bacco market, next years crop out
lcok appears very favorable. This is
true even when we consider that the
Urited States, from present indica-
tions, will produce several million
pounds more than ever before in its
history.
The reference 10 next years crop
is considered to mean the next agri-
cultural wear or crop wear
