HIGHER hurley PRICES
after THE ELECTION
Lifting of Ban On Burley Is Seen BY
Louisville Dealer Discussing Pro-
posed Cut-0ut.

The Louisville Courier-Journal
says:
Improved market conditions during
the next eight months will result in
discarding any proposed plan for not
planting a Burnley crop in 1921, &C
cording to certain Louisville tobacco
dealers.
Although refusing to be quoted di-
rectly on the subject, which they char
acterized as delicate" in view of the
apparent bitterness manifested at re-
cent meetings of tobacco growers in
Carrollton and Lexington, some deal
ers here say the storm will blow
over"
1t was pointed out that similar ac-
ton has been contemplated several
times by the growers, but not carried
out on account of improved conditions
when the time for planting arrived.
Farmers now complain that prices re-
ceived will not pay for the cost of
growing.
Dealers expressed belief that, with
general economic establishments and
further extensions of foreign trade
after the coming presidential election,
market conditions will improve,
Seed planting in no event would be
begun until March or April, it was
stated, giving at least, eight months
for conditions to become satisfactory
again,
