SAYS LEAF PLAN MEANS NEW
EZRA,

Nicholasville, KY, Oct. 14.-Chas.
NJ Manning, Lexington bank presi-
dent, in an address here tonight to
Jessamine County tobacco growers,
urged them to stand together for the
cooperative marketing plan and de-
clared that under that plan it is pos
sible for every man to get a fair
price for his tobacco
He declared that the plan showed
the small growers every conSidera-
ton. that it's fairness must appeal to
every thinking man, that the financ-
ing of the growers was assured by
the action of the Federal Reserve
Banking System and promises of di-
rect support by the War Finance Cor
poration, aside from the Endorsement
given the movement by Kentucky
bankers
AS banker of long experience
himself, Mr.. Manning gave his un-
qualified Endorsement of the plan and
contract of the association as tending
to stabilize tobacco prices and land
values throughout the hurley district

eve all know that, with the ex
ception of two or three years during
the great world war, the prices of
tobacco have not been such to
bring about these results.
cit is because l believe that this
proposed cooperative association will
tend to stabilize values both Of land
and tobacco in this community, will
share of price paid by the consumer,
enable the grower to furnish greater
will elevate standards of living, will
anble the grower to furnish greater
comforts for his family, provide them
with better education, books, and the
refinements of modern life-in short,
because l believe that this plan Of
fers the brightest hope and the surest
prospect of prosperity ever presented
to the tobacco raiserS of Kentucky
that l urge you its immediate adOp-
tion.
''I would not have any of you be-
lieve that this association can or will
attempt to accomplish miracles; there
is to be no effort to set aside the laws
Of supply and demand.
''This is to be a marketing associa-
tion and not a holding association or
a hold-up association. 1 have never

known of any successful attempt by
any individual or any organization,
however powerful, to repeal the laws
of supply and demand. These laws
may be temporarily suspended, but
in the end will prevail, and the at
tempt to abrogate them would be
sure to result in failure and disaster.
Plan to Get Market Data
1.-The aim and effort of the associa-
tion will be to obtain as full informa-
tion as possible of the conditions af-
fecting the price of tobacco, the size
of the crop, the stocks on hand, the
probable demand, the state of COM
merce and finance throughout the
world-in short, to get the informa-
tion which is now so effectively used
to employ as talented and able men
to work for you as are now employed
to work against you.
with such information, with such
an organization, it is planned to mar
ket your tobacco in a sane, efficient,
and orderly manner. and not to dump
it on the market in such haste that
every mans crop is in competition
with every other mans, that it is a
mad scramble to get in and sell while
it is possible to sell at any price, a

race where each man is supposed to
look out for himself as we'll as he
can, which is usually not at all, and
the devil takes the hindmost, if not
the entire bunch.
Under the proposed plan of mar
keting it ought to be possible for
every man to get fair price for his
to. AS l have said, you need not ex-
pect miracles, but you have right
tobacco, and that is all he is entitled
to expect, and 1 believe you will not
be disappointed in expecting great
improvement over the average results
under the present system.
A Business Organization
''It should be thoroughly under
stood that this proposed association
is to be business organization, man.
aged and controlled by men of abil-
ity and character on the same high
plane as the best banks in the state
are operated. This is essential to the
success of any plan. No system, how
men of high character and first-rate
ability are selected for the manage
1nent of your business it is predes-
tined to failure
'The management is absolutely in
your own hands; you will have no one
to blame but yourselves if unworthy
or inefficient men get control of the
organization. The method of the Sc
lection of the directors has been lik-
ened to that employed by banks, but
there is this important distinction:
In banks the shareholder is entitled
to cast as many votes as he has shares
of stock, one vote for each share; in
this organization each grower is tC

one acre or a thousand acres of to.
bacco.
"This is certainly showing the
small grower every consideration: II
prevents the control OF the associa.
tion from being usurped by a few
large producers; the members cannot
even vote by proxy; they must cast
their own votes, either in person OF
by writing, for the directors of theil
choice, and not let some one else
gather up proxies and control the
election. This insures a democracy
and prevents oligarchy
tAnd the fairness of the contract
must appeal to every thinking man
Every grower must receive the same
price per pound for the same quality

in the organization, the most power.
full director, cannot get a good price
for his tobacco without getting the
same price for every man who has to-

Not Untried Plan.


"As has been frequently pointed
out, this is no new and untried plan;
it has been in successful operation
in certain parts of Europe for gener-
ations and for many years it has been
tested in California and in other
nation.
"Some months ago 1 addressed
letter to a dozen or more of the lead
ing banks of California throughout
the territory tried out, asking what
had been the history of such associa-
tions in their community, and what,
in their opinion, would be the pros
poets of success of such an associa-
ton formed for the purpose of mar
keting tobacco grown in Kentucky.
81 received prompt, courteous
and full reply from each of these
banks. All reported that the cooper
ative system in use in their commun-
tiles, when properly organized and
ably and honestly managed, had prov
ed successful and had increased. the
general prosperity of the citizens;
many stressed the Importance of get
ting the right kind of management:
none claimed any expert knowledge
of the tobacco business, but all said
they knew Of no reason why tobacco
in this way
Now, l think all will admit that
the present system of marketing to-
bacco is unsatisfactory. Many peo-
pie, however, have hesitated to sign
the contracts providing for a change
because they felt it might be neces-
sary to obtain some money on their
crop when it was ready for market.
and that the association might not
be able to advance money on the crop
until it was marketed.
/ This might have been a legitimate
reason for holding back at first; but
the assurances of support from the
| bankers of the state and elsewboro
the aid which the War Finance Cor
porat1on stands ready to give the as
sociation, and the ruling of the Fed
, eral Reserve Board that drafts drawn
by the growers upon the association
tand accepted by it are to be classified
as agricultural paper, where the pro-
ceeds are used in furthering the oner-
atlons OF agriculture, and are there
tfore eligible, with maturity of six
months, for rediscount by the Federal
reserve Banks of the country, remove
every vestige of doubt that if the as
soclation Is organized it will be able
to arrange to make proper and pru-
dent advances to such growers as de-
sire to receive advancements prior to
the sale OF the crop.

Conference at Washington

"You have read that a delegation
composed of Judge Robert W. Bing'
ham, Mr.. Stone, Mr.. Simms, Mr..
Montgomery and myself went to
Washington to ascertain directly from
the War Finance Corporation what
could be expected in the way of di-
rect financial assistance from the War
Finance Corporation if this co-opera-
tive association is formed, and we
were assured that what had been
done for other associations would be
done for this, if application were
made in due form, and that what had
already been done for others was
more than we were asking for this
association.
I'VE also had an interview with
the Federal Reserve Board and asked
that the drafts drawn by the grow
ers on the association and accepted
by it for advances on the crop should
be classified as agricultural paper,
eligible for rediscount with Federal
Reserve banks for a period of six
/ months; and 'the Federal Reserve
Board in an elaborate ruling handed
down shortly after our visit granted
all that we had asked.
| j Everything is propitious for the
organization and the successful man
agement of this association except the
, unaccountable failure of the neces-
sary number of growers to compete
the organization by signing the con
! tracts. This is a tremendous task
and cannot be accomplished unless
! there is spirit of team work, dis
position on the part of many to help,
and not leave everything to someone
else to work out
so far as the tobacco industry in
'thls section of the country is con-
cerned, believe firmly it is doomed
to failure unless proposition of this
KIND can be worked out; that unless
you growers hang together now you
Will, in the language of Franklin on
historic occasion, hang separate

the product of your labor taken for
/ Whatever price the buyer chooses to
NIX on it, and that you will lose the
greatest chance of your lives to bet
ter your fortunes and your position
in life."

might, as they have already learned from experience, lead to even more em- barrassing and perhaps serious compli- cations than they now have.
 Even the girls mother has the great est difficulty in telling them apart. In fact, to this day she is not quite sure whether the one she.calls Yansci is really the one to whom she originally gave that name.
 When the twins were born the mother tied pink ribbon on Yansci's wrist and a blue one on Roszika's. She told the nurse never to take off either of these ribbons without putting on another of the same color. But the nurse was care, less, and one day she let something dis tract her attention when she was about to tie new ribbons on the babies. By the time she was ready to resume the task she couldn't tell which should have the blue and which the pink.
 When Mrs. Dolly learned what had happened she was in despair to think that her one and only clew to the identity of the twins was gone. She knelt down and pyayed that God would help-her to guess right. Then she tied a pink rib- bon on the baby she hoped was Yansci and blue one on the girl she hoped was Roszika. But to this day she has never felt sure whether her prayer was an swered and she guessed right.
