GROWERS URGED TO HOLD BACK

TOBACCO CROP

rv i t

rresident or Miami

Growers Association Speaks

in Lanier Township.

C. I. Gilbert, newly-electei president

of the Miami Valley Leaf Growers' association, addressed fifty farmers of Lanier township, Preble county, at the consolidated schoolhouse, three miles

south of West Alexandria, on the problems of the tobacco grower, Wednes

day erenlng. Because of war conditions, said Gilbert, the tobacco demand was not heavy, and unless farmers stood together and held their tobacco until the packers had to have it, the 1918 crops would be sold for prices that would mean actual loss to the farmers. He recommended a cut of at least one-third In the entire acreage of the Miami Valley for next year, and urged the fanners to Join and stick by the association as the best means of fighting cheap tobacco. Publicity, he said, was the best weapon of tho growers. He scored the careless handling prevalent in Preble county, saying wellhandled tobacco was worth 2 cents a pound more than that poorly handled. Advises Spanish Tobacco.

Gilbert told the story of the warehouse project with which he has been connected for several years at Germantown, and said the entire 1917 crop was still held by the growers In this warehouse. Last Fehruary, he said, when offered 25 cent a pound, the 116 holders of this tobacco set a composite price of 86 cents a pound, and were going to hold the leaf until they got It. .In answer to questions, he advised

the raising of Spanish tobacco m Preble county next year, advised the

buying of fertilizer with a nign con

tent of phosphoric acid for use on tobacco land, told the growers that 25 cents was the least price for which they could afford to let their 1918 crop go, and advised the cutting down of acreage by every grower at least one-

third, but not thereafter, as tie saia after this year the condition would be stabilized, the situation would be nor

mal, and all the tobacco wiiicn couia be grown would be absorbed at good

nrices.

Gilbert used as illustrations of his

talk the specimens of Lancaster county. Pennsylvania, tobacco, and the

news notes, sent from that great to

bacco center by William I. Banoorn, The Palladium farm expert, who is in the eastern field investigating conditions for the benefit of Ohio and Indiana tobacco growers.
