WON'T CUT TOBACCO CROP.
Burnley Growers Drop Proposal to Re
duce Acreage so Per Cent.

LEXINGTON, Ky, March Q. Plans
for curtailment of the 1927 crop of bur
ley tobacco were abandoned by the Bur
ley Tobacco Growers association at its
annual meeting here yesterday. The
reason given was that it was impossible
to get 60 per cent of the growers of the
district to sign the pledge
The proposition to- curtail the crop 30
per cent. was voted at a meeting of
growers here on Feb. 70. tt resulted
from the heavy drop in prices under
those of last year and agitation for a
"cut out" of the 1921 cron.

few months and to await any market

Robert W. Bingham of Louisville and

under consideration ways and means of
helring the growers.
