plain brains. We have s!ushy, SEN

The State Board of Education
will name instructors for county
teachers training schools created by
the last General Assembly, it was
announced by George Colvin, State
Superintendent. Mr.. Colvin made
the announcement by making public
a letter written to the county super

The letter said that the board was
anxious to please the county boards
by employing local talent as much
as possible, but that it was more
anxious to give each county the best
possible instructors. The State
board, it was said, has the same
power of appointing instructors for
the county training schools that the
county boards have for naming
teachers for county schools and asks
that applications in all cases be sent
to Frankfort.

THIRD PAYMENT TO BE MADE
TO POOL GROWERS

The payment to be made to the
hurley tobacco growers May 20 will
be followed by a third payment
when the entire holdings of the Bur
ley Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association are sold. Just when this
will be is said to be problematical,
but President James c. Stone has
pointed out the fact that the crop
of 1921 is the shortest since the
cut-out of 1908, and the government
reports required of manufacturers
show that their holdings are less
than they were year ago. Presi-
dent Stone has had many inquiries
for the redried leaf held by the as
ISOLATION and has sold some of it.
These inquiries have come from as
far away as Denmark, representa-
tive Of Copenhagen tobacco con-
Germ having called at the Office of
the association the past week.
1t was said to be certain that the
distribution to the growers of the
third payment on their crops, which
probably will be the final one, will
show that the growers who joined
the association have received more
net money for their tobacco, besides
paying their warehouse installment
and the entire expense of conducting
the Burley Association, including
salaries and Office expenses.
No one in authority at the Burley
Offices would make any prediction as
to when the third and probably final
payment this year would be made,
as it was said that that payment de-
pended entirely on the time of sale
of the re-dried holdings of the asso-
citation, but that is expected to be a
development of a few weeks at the
most.
Secretary H. Lee Early was busy
the past week signing the checks to
growers which will be sent out May
20. There are about $4,000 of these
checks, including landlords, tenants,
banks to which growers have as
signed their certificates from grow
ers. Secretary Early uses a ma
chine in signing these checks, which
permits him to sign five of them at
one operation, but he still will have
to sign his name 5000 times before
the checks will be ready to send to
the directors, who will distribute
them to the growers.

been with his parents.
Mrs. Teller was formerly Miss
