FAILURE TO ORGANIZE COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS OF TOBACCO GROWERS IN KENTUCKY 1. 11 n 0 Oo 0} 6 Qo Q Q ND Ea xX LU Q The Cramyax. Mr. Byrns desires to ask some questions. Mr. Byr~s. You have not been able to do anything for the. tobacco growers down in Kentucky and Tennessee—and I am now referring to the dark tobacco region rather than to the Burley region; I do i whether you have done anything in the Burley region or not Mr. Stone. Yes; we have done something in the Burley section. Mr. Byr~s.

In the Burley section we did prepare a contract which has been adopted. That section is prepared now to take care of the growers in he event that the price 1s not gi I think that possibility has had a tendency to increase the price. Mr. Byr~s.
