ltucky. In the meantime, however, the
association had secured 1T tobacco
warehouses in Ohio, Indiana, West
Virginia and Kentucky for it's ex-
elusive use. The War Finance Cor
poration and banks in the interested
districts pledged almost $6,OOO,0OO
| to the association.
On January 26 the warehouses here
were opened for the receipt Of .pledg-
| ed tobacco and it was graded upon
delivery by the grower and a check
| for an estimated value of 40 per
cent of the worth of the crop ad-
vanced to the growers. Four days
later the houses throughout the bur-
| ley district were opened and tobacco
began to pour in.
This plan. will be in operation for
at least five years, the farmers hav-
ing signed up for this period of time.
Prior to 1904, the barn to barn
sale was in vogue. After this period
the loose leaf warehouse, where the
tobacco was taken by farmers and
auctioned off, was used extensively.
The first attempt to form a to-
bacco pool took place in Cincinnati
in 1897, but was short lived. The
famous Equity Society, with its at
tendant night riding and other evil
dences of dissatisfaction, was organ
lied in 1905. The Burley Society was
organized along similar lines the
next spring. After several years the
Equity disbanded. The hurley, how
ever, continued to operate. 1t is said
that never more than 80 per cent of
the crop was pledged to it in any
year.
The loose leaf warehouse system
has been in use during the last few
years and there now are several hun
dred such houses in Kentucky alone,
with many others in the adjoining
states.
The cruX was reached in January,
1921, when farmers offered their
high-priced 1920 crops for sale. The
average price paid on the opening
day on the whole was far below the
cost of production, and many grow
ers faced ruin.

trict, however, whereby loans may be
obtained by members from their local
banks on their participation receipts
Members will probably realize from
the Association on their tobacco at
least three times as much as the
amount of their first advances. Bank
ers realize this, and are, therefore,
willing to loan their customers a
certain amount, taking their partici-
patton receipts in the final returns
from the sale of their tobacco, as
surety.
1.-THE manner in which the banks
of the tobacco district are support
ing the Association and it's member
ship certainly demonstrates the great
interest which the bankers have in
the tobacco industry and their splen-
did understanding of the extent to
which the econQnic prosperity of
Kentucky depends upon the success

With view to averting a repeti-
