OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR PROMPT
SIGNING OF DARK POOL

hOpklnsVllle, KY, May 6.-Inter-
est in the proposed Dark Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association
for Kentucky ana tennessee has in
creased rapidly of late, and de-
velopments have come apace, all of
which indicates the prompt accept
ance Of the plans by the farmers,
and their. lining up with it. There
Is some muttering of opposition,
but wherever this is from the farm
er, it is believed to be due to lack
of information or misconception,
which the educational campaign to
be put on in each county will
effectively overcome.
The most convincing thing which
has developed was the splendid re-
suits of the first day membership
campaign in Todd county, when APP
proximately $500 acres were sign
ed up, out of the etimated S,740
acres devoted to tobacco raising in
that county. This far outdoes Bour-
bon county in the hurley district
where the first pledges were taken
and where the initial amount of
5000 acres was regarded as a record
breaker. Now 1t is being confident
ly predicted that the entire dark
district will show the hurley district
a clean pair of heels in speedy or
ganizing, even though the hurley
district completed its organization
in the shortest time ever known for
a cooperative association.
But Todd county did not do all of
the first signing. In Daviess coun-
ty, where the membership drive has
not yet been undertaken, Mrs. Geo.
F. Rudy signed, thereby being the
first woman in the district to sign
contract.
The Anglo-American Mill Com
pany of ,Owensboro has donated a
full equipment Of office furniture to
the association office there, and
Miss Beatrice Slaughter has been
emnloyed as secretary and steno-
grapher.
1t is big jub to start the organi-
cation work in the dark district,
comprising as it does about fifty
five counties and producing differ
ent types of dark tobacco, but this
is now getting under way and the
comparatively few counties started
have showed such good results that
1t seems certain the movement will
go over big in the entire district. AS
rapidly as possible the work will be |
carried to the other counties, but il |
will probably-be few weeks yet be-
fore the entire district is active.
About the first thing to be done in
a county is to perfect the county or
ganization committee, and first of
all in this comes the selection of the
chairman of such committee. SO
far, only six counties have definitely !
selected their chairman, these being |
as follows:
Simpson county, Dr. ]. r. Clay
pool.
Todd County, Frank Camp.
Montgomery County, Tenn,
Claude Cooke.
Christian County, T. C. Jones.
Muhlenburg County, j. T. Rey-
nolds.
Caldwell County, F. T. Satter-
field.
In Trigg County, the election will
not be held until next Monlay, but
the last issue of the Cadiz Record
stated that Sheriff w. c. Broadbent
was sure to get the place, judging
from the expressions of the farmers
Chairmen will be selected in a
number of other counties in the
next few days.

DISTINCT REVIVAL
IN TRADE ESEEN
BY SECY. HOOVER
u. S. Commerce Nearer
Normal Than That of
Britain or France.
FUTURE NOT DARK
Remarkable Fact Stands that
We Have Held on" He
Emphasizes.
FUTURE NOT DARK

On a basis of a prewar compari-
son the foreign trade Of the United
States is nearer normal than that
of the United Kingdom. France. or
Germany-our nearest competitors
according to a statement made
public, yesterday by Secretary Of
Commerce Herbert Hoover. Even
in times of depression the trade of
America is higher than the prewar
level, the Secretary asserted.
There has been a distinct re-
vival in trade from the low point
during the past few months. and
I am confident we have little rea-
son to accept the pessimistic view
of our foreign trade future taken
by many students of the question"
said Mr.. Hoover.
"Our trade has shifted somewhat
as to commodities. owing to the
changed ECONOMIC currents, due to
the war, but when all is said and
done the remarkable. fact stands
out that we have held on" he con-
tinued.
There seems to be so much pop
ular Interpretation and conflict
ing opinion regarding the present
condition of our foreign trade that
II may be desirable to call attention
Ia, Aa nj faNtnFG
the situation.
1T should be pointed out. in the
first place, that in order to form
a correct opinion Of the volume of
our foreign trade we must take a
prewar year as a basis OF compari-
son. The tremendous increase in
our foreign trade during the war
could not have taken place under
normal conditions, and therefore
should not be taken as a starting
point in en- estimate of our present
situation. AS a matter OF fact.
when we consider the diminished
purchasing capacity of the civilized
world, caused by the war. we are
not sure whether we are even jus
tined in adding to our prewar level
the average prewsr normal increase
to cover the period sisce the out
break OF the war. While this res
ervation may seem supernuous,
there is reason to believe. that ii
has not been sufficiently empha-
sized in some OF the popular dis
cussions of our foreign trade.
On the basis of a prewar COM
parison we find that the foreign
trade of the United States is nearer
normal than the trade. of the United
Kingdom, France. or Germany,
which are our principal competi-
tors"
