TOBACCO GROWERS TO MEET
IN KENTUCKY TOMORROW

BY The Associated Press.
LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. II. =
Delegates representing hurley tobac-
co growers of three states will meet
in Lexington. tomorrow to decide
whether $4,000 hurley growers. pro-
ducing an average OF 100000 900
pounds of tobacco annually will cut
out the crop in 1921.
Delegates to this meeting will be
selected at county conventions to be
held throughout the hurley district
OF Kentucky and in the hurley pro-
|ducing section of Ohio and In
diana.
At a meeting Of the leading hurley
growers held IN Lexington, August 4.
500 farmers from IS Kentucky. Ohio
and Indiana counties went on zee
ord as unanimously in favor Of cut
ting out the crop next year This &C
ton vas not taken as final, however,
due to the fact that many hurley
raising counties were not represent
ed in the convention. and the second
convention was called in order that
all growers of the three states might
have a chance to act on the ques-
ton.
Agitation in favor of cutting out
next years hurley crop has been
brewing since the close OF sales iast
winter. According to leading grow
ers, at least 40 per cent Of the 1919
crop was grown without profit to the
producing farmers. and the present
crop, although above average in
quantity, will fall far below last
years crop in quality. Tobacco man
u~facturers of the country who buy
practically all of the hurley crop
raised in this section are already
o~verstocked on second grade tobac-
co, growers say. and they are expect
ing prices to fall this winter to
point where profit is no longer pos
sible except to the former with
nothing but high-grade weed to sell.
General opinion of Kentucky far
mers is that a crop cutout in 1872
not only would give the manufac-
turers a chance to dispose of their
excess of low grade weed. but would
also put the tobacco land in much
better condition for future crops OF
hurley.
Most Of the opposition to the cut
out is expected to come from the
Bluegrass section. of which Lexing-
ton is the center where much high
grade hurley Is raised.

MINNEAPOLIS. MINI. - John
Barton Payne, secretary of the
interior, who passed through here
with Secretary Daniels upon their
return from Alaska. will urge speed
ing up development of Alaska's re-
sources.
Some of my predecessors" Seere-
tary Payne said. seemed to think
that a mine or a tree were things
to be locked up and preserved. But
Alaska is not to be developed by
locking it up. A strict conservation
policy cannot be applied to a new
country scantily settled which must
increase its population by using its
resources. I believe that for a time
the wealth. OF the territory should
be used without stint for the bene-
fit of humanity"
Mr.. Payne declared legislation is
needed to provide easier access TO
Alaska. Transportation. both for
freight and passengers. must be
cheaper and provision made TO
handle traffic during the rushing
season.

SUGAR PROFITS
MAY BE- LIMITED.
Department of Justice ReneWs
Efforts to Check Soaring
Price-House Members
to Query Palmer.

Washington, April 2s.-Marsins of
profit on sugar. collected by both
wholesalers and retailers. may be linn
tied as a result OF a conference this
week between sugar refiners and Of
ficials of the department Of justice.
The department will try to find out
exactly why sugar has risen in price
to 20 or IS cents a pound retail, and
sometimes more, which is twice the
wartime figure. The department plans
to act under the anti-profiteering
clauses Of the Lever act if evidences
Of speculation and ~proftteering are
found, The project Of limiting whole
saIers to a cent a pound profit, and
retailers to 2 cents, is under consid-
Grafton.
Complaints Nationwide.
The procedure would be to regard
profits in excess OF these amounts
as excessive, and subject to action
under the Lever act. Uncertainty as
to the feasibility of the suggestion
exists, and there is considerable doubt
as TO the practicability of invoking
{, wa time measure after a year and
q half Of peace.
Eut Attorney General Palmer, and
tliOSe oA Ills SuDOTuInaE6S VINO are
directing the SO called war on high
prices, are smarting under the ac-
cusations that they are unable to
cope with the situation, which is
bringing complaint from the entire
country, and have determined some
relief must be provided il there is a
way.
The department of justice has had
the responsibility of keeping sugar
prices within bounds since the gov
eminent regulations ended. Agents
of the department have been busy Id
many cities and instructions have
been given to housewives who have
been overcharged for sugar to report
to these agents. However, prices
have continued to advance.
Attorney General Palmer will ap-
pear later in the week before the
house Judiciary committee to answer
questions regarding the sugar situa-
ton.
House members will ask Palmer
why Louisiana sugar growers sold
their product for II and Is cents a
pound.

the effect of the failure to purchase
