TOBACCO GROWERS
 ARE IN A BAD WAY
Central Kentucky Trying to Save
 Them From Losses

Lexington, Ky, Jan. 21.-Central Kentucky is trying to save thousands of farmers from bankruptcy and banks and business houses from seri- ous embarrassment, according to statements of bankers, growers and others who have been active in the movement to force prices for the 1920 crop of burley tobacco to a point that will not be far from the 1920 record. They assign this as the reason for the nervous situation that has torn the burIey tobacco re- zion for the last several weeks, re- sulting in all markets. but a few. being closed, threats being madc against buyers, a run on one bank and an agreement to 'cut out" the 1921 crop and hold the 1920 crop if financial arrangements can be made.
 Banks in Central Kentucky loan large sums to farmers to finance their crops. Just how large the total of these loans this year is no guess has been ventured. The question of how long the bankers can carry the farm CTS, however, was one of the fore most in the meeting of farmers, grow CTS and warehousemen held here re- l gently.
 It is claimed that if tobacco does
 
 farmers will lose their lands. and many financial institutions will be hampered.
 Buyers of tobacco are silent as to why prices are not higher. Farmers claim that in view of the fact that prices rose gradually over a period of four years from 1915 to 1919, they Ohould drop gradually. They assert that labor costs during 1920 season were the highest in the his tory of farming in Kentucky. Stories of farmers who paid $s per day for common labor in the tobacco fields are common among large growers who visit the offices of the Burley Tobacco Growers association here.
