Kentucky farmers arc facing a Tin-1 Hooded they point ncial crisis because the smokers of I cannot expect a fair have a great deal to take care of also in the matter of lending money to domestic tobacco buyers, they de clared. One of them said that he saw hope for the Kentucky tobacco grow ers in the proposed revival by the Government of the War Finance Cor poration with a capitalization of $500,000,000. The bankers advise the farmers to place their high grade tobacco on the market first holding the low grades for later sale.

The sweet aromas of tobacco grown in Kentucky are bcKinning to be miss ed where the devotees of the smoke god foregather on ttie boulevards ot Paris. Spanish clous now must do without the consolation of pure Ken tucky burley, as their favorite torea dor imperils his life. This is because the European gov ernments arc unable to borrow money for the purchase of tobacco in this country, according to Geoffrey Mor gan secretary of the Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation. America, Mr. Morgan said last night is teaching Europe to moke inferior tobaccos, because American bankers haven't ex tended credit for the purchase of to bacco. Conduct Own Businesses. The Governments of Spain, iMly, France, Austria and Germany con duct large tobacco businesses of their own, he cxplaind. They have been accustomed to buying large quanti ties of Kentucky tobacco. Early this year these Governments were obliged to order their brokers in Kentucky not to buy tobacco because they couldn't borrow money over here. As a consequence the price of the low grade tobaccos that the Europeans want dropped troin about no cents to as low as 10 cents a pound. "We are facing the same situation again this winter," Mr. Morgan de clared "Tobacco is the farmer's 'money crop' in Kentucky. Nearly all the tobacco grown in Western Ken tucky hitherto has been bought up by the Europeans, as well as a large amount of the crop in the other parts of the State. Many Kentucky farm ers will be ruined if the European buyers arc recalled again this year. Prefer Kentucky Grades. "Also there is the danger that the Frenchmen, .Italians and Spaniards will get the habit of smoking the Macedonian and J a van tobaccos, though they prefer Kentucky. Then our farmers here will lose one of their most valuable crops. Their purchas ing power will be bankrupt And if there is any one who does not under stand the purchasing power of the farmer in Kentucky, he only needs to be shown that bank deposits in Louisville during State Fair week in creaed $900.0(10.00') " The farmer of the State Mr Mor gan said, arc appealing to Louisville bankers to make loans to the foreign tobacco buying governments They point. out that export trade shows that tuese government-, are obaiuiug credit tor the purchase of other com modities.
