hurley GROWERS TO MEET IN
LEXINGTON

Plans for a meeting of Burley to-
bacco growers to be held at the Ex-
pertinent Station, in Lexington.
August 10 for the purpose of ac-
quainting the growers with the
work Of the station along tobacco
lines and presenting several sub
jects of special interest to growers
Of the crop were announced by sta
ton authorities. Chief interest in
the program of the meeting is ex-
pected to be centered around the
experiments being conducted by the
station to compare root rot restraint
strains of tobacco with the Burley
varieties commonly grown in Ken
lucky. Marked differences already
are noticeable between restraint
and common varieties in the plots
where they are being grown side by
side on the station farm and by the
time of the meeting it is expected
that the value of the restraint va
rieties in controlling the rot will be
plainly evident. The disease is
held to be the most serious one OF
the tobacco crop in Kentucky
Speakers announced for the meet
ing include James c. Stone, presi-
dent Of the Burley Tobacco Grow
ers' Cooperative Association; R. M
Barker, director of the warehouses
for the association; Director Thos
p. Cooper, of the station; E. ]. Ken
ney, tobacco specialist of the plant
pathologist. Mr.. Barker will give
a demonstration showing how farm
ers can realize a better price fol
their crop by more careful grading
