PLAN COOPERATIVE
TOBACCO MARKET
Central Kentucky Growers Also
Protest Against Increase
In Tax
tRx Associated Press,

Lexingtop, Ky, Dec! 24--Plans
for a cooperative tobacco mar
keting company were approved at
a conference Of Central Kentucky
tobacco growers here yesterday.
Ia resolution protesting against
the proposal Of the secretary Of
the treasury that the tax on man
|ufactured tobacco be increased g
cents a pound also was adopted
The marketing company plan,
WHICH will be finally passed upon
by the executive committee OF the
organization, follows closely the
cooperative plan Of the southern
California fruit growers, accord
ing 60 John w Newman, presi-
dent Of the Burlcy Tobacco Grow
ers' Association.
The plan was formulated by di-
rectors e.Gs the Burley Tobacco
vi OWcIS [1SSIAidIlDl DdlIhCl .,
warehousemen, farmers and the
raisers Of tobacco.
Preparations for the opening OF
the hurley tobacco market here
on January 3 are in full swing, al
though to date the farmers have
been slow about getting their to-
bacco to the warehouse. Approx
limately 5,O00,0CO punds now arc
on the sales floors.
The slowness OF the farmers is
attributed by warehousemen and
buyers to the agitation that has
been under way for several weeks
looking to holding off the mar
ket of enough tobacco to force the
price to a level which the farm
ers say will enable them to make
expenses and fair profit. Prices
offered in the early markets were
far under the cost Of production,
it is alleged.

remote parts OF the county and
the owners. stated they were not
sure when the receiving period
opened One stated he did not
know there was d specified time.
Another said he had to have room
for his livestock. and believed his
produce would be accepted, it
being SO near the time for receiv-
ling.
Warehouse men, upon being
Iconfronted with the men and the
tobacco consulted and decided
they would not be able to start
ireceiving before the stipulated
time The wagons were drawn
near the doors and lett.
The tobacco is said to be OF i
good quality. The producers dis
Icussed prices. One of them said
he did not believe 80 cents per
IpOund would any more than pay
for the raising expense, and some
of them would not come out even
at that. There is said to be con-
siderable inferior grade tobacco
IN Madison county. owing to some
having been cut green as a result
!, OF the threatened cold weather,
and this quantity is increased by
the blight which appeared in some
localities much to the detriment
OF the crop.
There are Indications of a rush

season for receiving opens Ware
house men believe there will be
sufficient tobacco in Madison
county to make one OF the biggest
sales IN years. They are reticent,
however, concerning the prices.

be at least thirty feet long so mud
will not be carried on to the new
streets in large quantities.
6-The parking ordinances should
be enforced, changing parking space
back and forth every two weeks to
allow all parts of the streets to be
travelled uniformity.
ABUSES such as spilling kero-
sene, gasoline, building fires or driv-
ing heavy vehicles with lugs or cleats
on the wheels on the streets and
driving against curbs at corners
should be corrected by creating senti-
ment in favor of protecting common
property or by punishment if neces-
sary.
S-Public service openings should
not be allowed, in the new streets ex-
cept where absolutely unavoidable
and any openings made should be re-
paired and put in as good condition
as the original street.
9-Last but not least, why not have
the streets admired?
Probably few people in small cities
ever think no wmuch they could i'm
prove the appearance of their pro-
perty at very little cost | would sug-
gest the elimination of fences around
front yards and care of grass plots
and lawns in the residence districts
and proper regulations for collecting
and disposal of trash and waste and
unnecessary obstruction of walks
with boxes, barrels and other un-
slightly objects as the greatest needs
of the business district.
The walks on Main street between
Second and Third streets have grown
in spots without regard to a common
grade, resulting in condition both
ugly and dangerous and it is sug-
gested that in all probability the bus
mess men have sufficient civic pride
to get together and remedy this glar-
ing defect if some one would take the
initiative. The improvement in looks
of properties and comfort to pedes-
provement can readily be seen and il:
always remarked on by strangers.
Where property lies lower than the
new curbs as is the case at the site
of the recent fire, new buildings
should be built with floor levels at
least six inches above the new curbs
even if old walks are left as they are
for future property owners will sure
ly want to raise the walks to the new
grade eventually.
Pride in my work is my only excuse
for this letter and l hope that the
citizens Of Richmond will feel the
same pride in the work and cooper
ate to get the best results, and | be-
lieve they will if you remind them
occasionally.
In taking leave of you ] wish to
thank you for your many courtesies
Very sincerely,
