 NEW CROP PROFITABLY
Co-Operative Body Has Advanced 4O Per Cent Value, More Than
 All 1921 Revenue.

Lexington, Ky, Feb. 16.-From the days when buyers went from barn to barn and bought tobacco, to the high ly organized hurley tobacco cooper atlve marketing association, which thls year is advancing as much money to growers on a 40 per cent basis as was paid for the entire crop last sea- son, is the progress made in market ing kentucky's annual hurley tobac- co crop of approximately 100000 ,OOO pounds.
 = The farmers fight for good prices for his product has been one of ups and downs. The 1920 crop brought him the highest price he ever re- ceived for his tobacco, but the 1921 crop, that cost upward of IS cents a pound to grow, was sold at loss, the seasons average being II 1-2 cents.
 With view to averting a repeti- tion of this, Judge Robert w. Bing- ham, Louisville newspaper owner, be- came interested in the cooperative marketing plan, and in company with several growers, visited Barney Bar uch in New York and laid before him plan for financing the crop.
 On March 28 meeting of tobacco growers from Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Car olina and Georgia was held here, at which Aaron Sapiro presented the plan under which California fruit growers and other producers are or ganized. From this meeting the move ment to organize the hurley tobacco growers was launched, and after sev- eral months 85 per cent of the crop was pledged and the hurley tobacco cooperative marketing association in-

HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
 ENDORSE SUPT. .WOh.ACK
Recommend Him to Arkansas Voters as Capable, Progressive School
 Leader and Teacher.

We, the teachers of Conway high school, take this opportunity of show ing in a small way our appreciation of R. E. Womack, our superintendent, by giving him our unanimous support in his candidacy for the office of state superintendent of schools, and we ask all of the qualified voters of Arkan- sas to give careful consideration to the requirements for this office and to the ability of MT. Womack to meet these requirements.
 AS an educator, MT. Womack is well known to the teachers of Arkan- sas, his work having placed him as one of the best in the state, and it has been truly said that he is second to none. He has master of arts de- gre from Peabody, and has served for 13 years as an educator in the city of Conway, eight of which were in the State Normal.
 This man is not of the "sensational' type, jumping at every theory that appears, and neither is he a man be- hind the times, as any county or city superintendent will testify, but he is a straightforward, honest American citizen, ruled by no ring and, if elected, will serve the best interests of Arkansas in school matters.
 For the reasons mentioned, we ask every voter of Arkansas to give his most careful consideration to the of flee of state superintendent of schools, an office too often passed over with a mere glance by voters, and, after this has been done, we feel sure that the majority of Arkansas voters will cast their ballots for Mir. Womack.
