OVER TEN MILLION

Reynold's Purchase of last Slice of
Pooled Tobacco Brings Much
Cash to Kentucky
Farmers.
Lexington, Ky., Oct. 11. The sale
Just completed betweou the R.' J. Reyn
olds Co. and the Burlely Co-operative
Association was the largest deal In
burley tobacco on record In Kentucky
in a single transaction between tobac
co growers and a single purchaser.
The only previous transaction In leaf
tobucco anything like its magnitude
was that In which the Burley Tobacco
Society, headed by Clarence LeBus,
sold Its polled tobacco to the four
leading American manufacturers, fol
lowing the cut-out of the burley to
bacco crop in 1308.
"Negotiations leading up to this sale
have been In progress for the past ten
days, President Stone and Director of
Warehouses -Ralph M. Barker repre
senting the association and Mr. Kirk
the Reynolds company. The deal final
ly was completed late Monday and the
tobacco will be turned over to Mr.
Kirk as rapidly as his company can
take It
While officials of the association
would not discuss the amount of
money Involved, one of the members
of the association said he believed it
would be somewhere between $10,000,
030 and $12,000,000.
Both President Stone and Director
Barker have declared for weeks that
the market conditions were such that
the holdings of the association were
or.nd to be sold soon.
This view was justified by the gQv.
ernment reports showing that the
quantity of tobacco In the hands of
manufacturers was much lighter than
at the same period of last year and
that early government forecasts had
greatly overestimated the size of the
1922 production. That the manufaa
turers who have purchased from the
association previously have been satis
fied with their purchases is evidenced
by this large purchase of the Reynolds
company, one of the largest of Ameri
can manufacturers, which had pre
viously made two large purchases of
association tobacco.
Of the 70,000 members of the Bur
le yTobacco Growers' Co-operative As
sociation, 68,000 will share In the re
sults of the sale of the pool's holdings,
as 12,000 of the members have been
added since last year's crop was sold.
