United We Stand,
Divided We Ealn

1t the growers who assembled
at Lexington represent the atti-
tude of those who remained at
home serious condition is like
lly to project itself into the hurley
counties next year. A cut-out, of
course, cannot succeed unless it is
general If the large majority ia
vors cut-out, public sentiment
will probably make it effective. If
any large number of growers OPP
pose lie, even a considerable mi
nority, it must fail and any at
tempt to enforce it result in trou-
/ bic, however we'll meaning its
hackers.
While the prices for farm pro-
ducts are relatively high one must
remember that proices of practi-
cally everything the farmers has
to buy have just simply gone
Clean out of sight" We agree
thoroughly with the statement Of
one speaker that manipulation
has been practiced by nanufac-
turers until 'the law of supply
and demand has no more to do
with the price of tobacco than the
tune of Yankee Doodle" 1t also is
true that the prices paid many
growers toward the end of the
sales season did not equal the cost
of production and the reports of
fabulous prices induced growers
to take the market prices that
would not bring over a cent a
pound, much of it selling, even on
the so-called high Lexington mar
lcet, at half cent 4 pound. OF
course it would have been more
profitable oput that tobacco ia
to the ground as fertilizer than to
have hauled it to town and sold
it at a price that would not pay
for the stripping.
Growers should not ils me the
newspapers for reporting the
higher crops of tobacco rather
than the low ones. 1t is the un-
usual thing, you know, that
makes news. The fact that John
Smith S tobacco from Carroll
county Sold at an average of IL
cents a pound was nothing re
markable, but the fact that Hen
ry Bosworth, of Fayette county,
averaged 90 pound was big
news and was SO featured. We
take these figures, of course, as
an illustration. and not as actual
crops. but it is true that some
Carroll crops averaged IL cents
and equally true .that.on a. farm
like Henry Boswofth's in Fayette
9O-cent tobacco would not have
been impossible last year.
Whatever is done by the farm
ers must be done unitedly if it is
to be effective. Even if at the
Lexington meeting August IA it
is decided not to cut out the 1921
crop, let them form pool of the
1920 crop and if conditions are not
favorable at the opening of the
market this fall hold their crops
until they are favorable Cotton
growers of the south never ac-
complished much until they used
that plan. Burley growers ten
years ago used the same method
effectively on the trust until 1T
was not only willing to deal with
the united growers, but pay lib
orally for the privilege of doing
so. The conditions the farmers
is one to give emphasis to the
motto on the Great Seal of the
State of Kentucky: Omitted We
Stand; Divided We Fall" 1t was
union that got the big prices for
tobacco when the Burnley Society
broke the buyers combine. 1t
will be union that gets them 4
profitable price this year and i'll
1921, if they raise crop next
year.
