67 FREIGHT TRAINS
REQUIRED TO MOVE
REYNOLDS' BIG BUY
Aa Idea of tbe Magnitude of the Par
chase Beynolds Made From the Co
operative Association This
Week I (men.
Some Idea of tho magnitude of the
deal by which the R. J. Reynolds To
bacco Company takes ovor practically
all the holdings of the 1921 crop In
the hands of the Burley Tobacco
Growers' Co-operatlvo . Association
may be .gathered from figures given
out by Warehouse Manager Robert E.
Beatty, of the Lexington district.
Manngor Beatty said that It would
' require 67 freight trains, of fifty cars
each, to carry the 64,000,000 pounds
sold, that the tobacco would fill 3.375
standard freight cars, and that. If the
hogsheads containing It wore placed
end to end they would reach for a, dis
tance of more than fifty miles.
Offlclal figures from the department
of agriculture at Wabhlngton, received
In Lexington, show 'that the burley
crop of 1921, not counting the associa
tion sales, averaged 9 cents a pound
more than that of 1920, as It brought
22.S centa a pound, as compared with
13.37 cents a pound for the 1920 crop
This was paid In spite ofthe fact that
the 1921 crop was Inferior to that of
1920. According to the department re
port the Increase was due to the
movement to market tobacco co-opera
tively.
According to the report the average
production per acre, on all parts of
the Burley district was 855 pounds to
the acre.
In a summary of tobacco markets
from 1916 to date. Just made public by
the R. M. Barker Tobacco Company, of
Carrollton, and distributed to the
trade, loose loaf sales show a gradual
Increase from 1916 up to 1919 and In
eluding the latter year, when the apex
of $32.66 was roached. In that year
Ixrlnrton sold 63.101.712 pounds at
so average of $43.46.
