bacco. This is for the purpose ot
beating down the price. Yot
were told this year that the buy
ers would take only 150,000,0Q(
pounds of the hurley tobacco
crop. Already they have taken
more than 250,00000O pounds.
THE tobacco marketing plan
has been worked out with due re-
gard to the Kentucky and fcder-
al laws. The organization will
be a non-prolit cooperative as
sociation.
''Thc agreements. when the Or
ganization is completed, will bind
J the growers to deliver their to-
bacco to the cooperative for five
years. Where the landlord and
tenant divide the crop. an agree
ment will be made which will en-
able the organization to market
the crop and they pay off the lier
The tobacco sPill be received al
local points and graded and sold
When Mr.. Sapiro concluded his
address on. the program for Co
operative marketing of Kentucky
tobacco he was bombarded with
questions which he answered
speedily. The questions were Of
fered informally from the floor,
the questioners remaining seated.
The principal questions and ans
wcrs follow:
Has the contract Of the grow
ers with the growers marketing
association been drawn up?
These are being drawn up and
it is hoped that they may be cir
culated next week. The contract
will be very elaborate, outlining
many details.
Does the title of the tobacco go
to the association when it takes it
over?
1t does. The association on re-
cciving the tobacco can do what 1t
desires with it.
What kind Of receipt does tht
producer receive?
The producer receives receipt
showing the grade and amount OF
tobacco turned over to the aSso-
citation. The association keeps the
Warehouse receipt.
Is an advance made on the to-
bacco on itsleceipt!
A meeting is held with bankers
as one of the first important. steps
Financial arrangements are made
and if possible on the day Of dc
livery, customarily within 2
hours at least after delivery, The
advance is made. 1t is request
ed that all take this advantage.
Does the contract affect tho
land or only the tobacco?
The contract affects only the
tobacco. 1t does not compel
man to raise tobacco or attempt
to force him to raise any certain
amount, but does control all the
tobacco which he raises.
What about the agreements
between landlord and tenants:
This always brings complica
tions at first. A written agree
mcnt between the landlord and
tenant is nearly always the re-
suit.
What is the period OF cach
pool?
The period of each pool is d
single year, but a single crol'
years pool may be carried over
Tor marketing through other sea
SONS.
What happens if a man doesn't
go in?
Ii a man stays out he simply
stays out. If the whole assocIa-
ton deals with the factories they
will soon stop going to special
trouble to take small crops from
outsiders.
How do you tell when-75 per
cent sign up III the association
The committee makes a sur
vey. On the contract each man
states the amount of tobacco
grown the previous year. This
is the basis.
Has the Supreme Court ever
passed on the Clayton amend
ment?
The Supreme Court had The
Clayton amendment and especial
| ly Section 6, under which this as
sociation will incorporate, before
it. It interpreted this section.
1t therefore had the opportunity
to declare it unconstitutional and
by interpreting it instead dis
closes its acceptance of it.
Docs anything planned conflict
with the Kentucky antitrust
lawss
