kEHOE TALKS TO
FARMERS UP IN OHIO
Tells Growers They May Expect
Soc a Pound For Crops If
They Stand Together
(By Associated Press)


West Union. Ohio, Sept. Is
AS much as thirty cents a pound
for hurley tobacco grown in the
Kentucky, Ohio. Indiana and
West Virginia districts may be
!obtained by growers through the
efforts of the Kentucky Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Marketing
Association, James n. Kehoe. Of
Maysville. today told growers of
Adams county, Ohio. at a meet
ing here this afternoon. He de-
clared that if the growers failed
to stand together they could ex-
pect that their tobacco would be
taken away from you again as it
was last year"
Mr.. Kehoe declared that the
fault i'll the hurley district was
not with the tobacco but with the
system of marketing. He said so
long as the growers followed the
dumping" system OF marketing.
''piling their tobacco on ware
house floors without regard to
business conditions or the needs
of the manufacturers" they might
expect ''as little as the buyers
feel they can pay and get away
with it,
MIR. kehoe said he had no feel
ing against the manufacturers i'll
the matter. They simply took
advantage, he said, of condition
which the grower himself created
by his system OF marketing. He
expressed the poinion that the
manufacturers would not care
what they had to pay for tobacco
SO long as all were placed on the
same basis and said that the CO.
operative marketing system puts
them all on the same basis. He
called attention to the unusually
high profits said to have been
made. by the manufacturers the
past year and said that there was
not the slightest danger that the
pooled crop would not be sold
promptly.
Pointing to the fact that 500,
100000 pounds of hurley tobacco
is the normal annual production
of the hurley district and that it
is about the capacity of the man
ufacturers, he showed that. with
the shortage of last year and
what he estimated to be about a
hundred million pounds shortage
this year, due to the drouth thru
out the hurley belt, there should
be a good demand for this years
crop and that the manufacturers
Simply will have to have it
"There is where your Oppor-
tunity comes" said Mr.. kehoe
"lf we have pledged to our mar
keting organization IS per cent
of the crop for a five year term
instead of the one year term Of
the old pools, we shall be able to
set Our own price on our own
product, just as the fruit and
prune producers of California do
and just as the apple. hay and
grain producers of Oregon and
Washington have done success
fully for several years" Speak
ing as banker, Mr.. kehoe told
the growers he could assure them
that there would be no difficulty
in; financing the crop if it were
found necessary to hold it and
told Of arrangements in that di
rection already made.
