Burley Growers Endorse
Cut Out OF 1921 Crop

AT meeting of tobacco growers
held in Lexington yesterday there
were present growers from % of the
chief tobacco growing counties of
the States of Kentucky, Ohio and
Indiana. The meeting went on rec
ord as favoring a cut-o in 1921.
Whether the $4,000 farmers who
produce approximately 300,000,000
pounds of tobacco annually will cut
out tobacco entirely in 1921 will be
decided at a meeting to be held in
Lexington on Wednesday, Aug. s.
The resolution favoring the cut-out
was offered by T. B. Hill, Of this
county, and passed by a vote Of lis
to 6. The vote was later made un-
animous. In the resolutions adopt
ed it was stated that the cost of pro-
ducing tobacco is at least 25 cents
per pound and that 40 per cent Of
last years crop was sold at an act
ual loss. 1t was further urged that
land previously used to raise tobac-
60 be planted in foodstuffs. 1t was
further resolved to form a perma-
nent organization.
The leading speech of the day ia
voring cut-out was made by T. B.
Hill, of this county, who made a
splendid impression upon his aud
fence and yon every point he attem-
pied to make. His remarks were
fence and won every point he at
tempted to make. His remarks were
cheered time and again and after
he had concluded the sense of the
gathering was never in doubt

farmers at the Tobacco meeting held
in Lexington yesterday were noted:

What About This

Wednesday while digging a trench
in order to lay sewer pipe from
the Mt. Sterling Garage a skeleton
was struck and the bones of the
legs, and some ribs were re-
moved. Stones indicating head and
foot of grave were removed and
about Is inches below these stones
were discovered the skeleton. II is
possible that at some time family
graveyard was located at this point.
We have not heard of any one of our
older citizenship that could remem-
Der graveyard at this point. The
only item that could be called up
was that some years past, in this
same location, and near this point
while laborers were engaged in SIM
liar work the head and face bones
of a skeleton were unearthed.

Hot Race Comes
To Close Saturday

Probably the hottest political race
waged in this county in years comes
to close at the polls Saturday be-
tween John G.. VIM and II. r.
Prewitt, of this city, Democratic
candidates for the nomination for
Circuit Judge in this District, COM
posed of the counties Of Montgom-
cry, Bath, Menefee and Rowan. Both
of the aspirants are very influential
and widely connected throughout
the district and the contest has been
one of the bitterest fought in long
time. 1t is practically conceded
that Mr.. Winn will carry the coun-
ties of Montgomery, Bath and Men
efee while Mr.. Prewitt is certain of
a majority in Rowan. The. question
seems to be can Mr.. Prewitt poll a
large enough vote in Rowan to over
come his opponents lead in the other
counties of the district Some ar
que he can while many others are
confident in their belief that such
is impossible, at any rate it has
been horse race from the drop Of
the flag and it is expected to con,
tinue so until the last vote is certi-
fled to and tabulated by the cleo
ton commissioners.

Estimates on Sugar Beets

Heaven may temper the wind to the
shorn lamb, but does not always add
sweetening to the pulp of sugar
beet during sugar famine.
Figures compiled by the bureau Of
crop estimates show slight falling
off in the amount of sugar extracted
from the sugar beets in 1919 when
compared, pound for pound, with the
crops of preceding years. In the
United States, and including the best
crop from so acres in Ontario, $751;
557 short tons of beets produced 1876,
451 short tons of sugar in 1919, while
5,577,506 tons of beets from the same
sources in 1918 gave us 7oO,95O tons
of sugar.
In 1919, moreover, the average pro-
duction of beets per acre was 9.27
tons, while the average in 1918 was
1901 tons.
The 1919 crop sold for $1174 per
ton of 1000 pounds as against $40
for the 1918 crop, and the total value
of the two crops was $75, 100000 and
S5q494 600. reSnectiVe1V
