by the organized hurley growers.
THAT action" said Mr.. Stone,
clearly shows that the members of
the present assembly are keenly
alive to the needs of the farmers OF
the State and deeply interested in
their welfare. We do not anticipate
any opposition to the enactment OF
the bill and regard it as likely that
it will be law of Kentucky by this
time next week. We appreciate the
action of the legislature and especi-
ally the cordial support given the
measure, without regard to political
affiliation, by members of the as

all the people and, of course, there
is no politics in it,"

the farming counties would take q
considerable share of this business,

Offers of advances on the crops of
members Of the Burley Tobacco

in the various counties have been
made by q number of the banks in
the Burley tobacco counties, Presi-

Asked as to what progress was
being made in financing the pooled
crop. Mr.. Stone said:
1--WE have received offers of ad-
vances on the pooled crops from
quite a number of the so-called
country banks and it is the intention
of the association to give this busi-
ness to the banks which ask for it..
We have had assurances all along
that the banks in the rural commu-
mites would take share Of this
business and the bankers In most Of
the counties showed their confidence
in the movement by advising grow
ers to join the association. 1t is no
surprise to us that now they should
come forward and tender the facili-
ties of their institutions to the CO.
operative marketing movement.
I'VE are working as rapidly as
: possible on the details that must pre-
cede the opening of the warehouses
for the reception Of the tobacco
grown by members Of the association
and we will open the warehouses
just as soon as these details can be
worked out and arrangements made
for the advances to the growers on
the tobacco they deliver"
