Burley Tobacco Interests of Kentucky Will Not Be Pooled.
Lexington, Ky., Feb. 1.-The Burley Tobacco Growers' association, through the action of its board of directors, has abandoned the effort to handle the present crop of tobacco, and will release its members from the terms of the existing contract with the association by which they were to hold their product until such time as the association could dispose of it. President W. B. Hawkins stated that the association would be kept intact and that it would be thoroughly financed next season, when it will control, as it expects, the burley crop. This action brings to an end for this season the controversy in regard to the burley crop, and it will find its way to the market through other channels.
