NEW YORK, Jan. 29. Relative to the recent dlsturoances In Kentucky, the American Tobacco Company has issued the following statement: , In Kentucky thtre are several dis tinct types of tobacco grown hurley tobacco, Green River tobacco and tlnrk fired tobacco. The Ameri:.(ii Tobacco Company Is a large ouyer of butloy tobacco, islng approximately sixty per cent, of the total production. It uses also large quantities of Urovn Itlver tobacco, taking, pi lii;M; one-third t the total pr jduj.i'in. Of 'he dark A.'pA tobacco, the American ..Tobacco Con pany uses substantially none, but American Snuff Company, in which company the American Tobacco Com cany owns atock, uses about fifteen l"'v curt, of the total prol ictlon. Tl'er has beea no disorder In t h') hurley growing sectionjt.Wg has been very 111"? 'disorder In the Green River section, Jut the disorder tub been in the dar lltvj lection of Kenuxky and Tennessee at Hopkinsvillv Russell vllle, Clarksville and other points. This dark fired tobacco is bought prin cipally by the buyerB representing the tobacco manufacturing monopolies of Italy, France and Spain, but to aome extent by American Snuff Company, and to some extent by tho Imeprla! To bacco Company of Great Britain. The affairs of the American Tobacco Com pany and American Snuff Company have been under government investi gation for more than two years. The department of commerce aud labor has had access to all the books and pa pers of these companies; employes and officers of these companies have been before numerous grand juries and equity examiners. The fullest pos sible examination hag been made by all of these agencies into all (Includ ing the most private) letter hook and other papers-of these conrpanlea, and there has been the most thorough ex amination andf crontMJxamtna.tlon of their officers and employes, ft Is In conceivable that inhere exists or had ever existed any combination of buy ing Interests it should not have been disclosed. The fact is that there ex ists no such cambination. No Interest In any way connected, or allied with the American Tobacco Company Is In combination with any other buying In teret; no understanding, agreement arrangement or coxfolnatlon exists be tween tho American Tobacco Compa ny or American Snuff Company and the Imeprlal Tobacco Company, or be tween'any of these companies and any government or other 'purchaser. It is simply and whully unlure that there is any contest between the to bacco grawers, or tobacco dealers In Kentucky and the so-called tobacco trust. Where disorder has occurred the so-called tobacco trust is the small est factor In the purchase of tobacco. Where the BO-called tobacco trust is the largest purchaser of tobacco there has been no disorder or lawlessness. As a matter of fact, also, the prices now being paid for leaf tobacco grown in Kentucky and elsewhere are very much 4tlgher than they were ten years ago, and their trend has been con stantly upward' since tne sq-called to bacco trust was organized. The land on which tobacco is grown can be used to grow other crops; bur ley tobacco is grown on the famous blue grass lands, the Virginia leaf is largely grown on land well adapfed to the growth of cotton. It la Inconrelv ptible " that the so-calied tobacco trust (even if It had a monopoly In the pur chase of tobacco, which It has not, not being the purchaser directly or indi rectly of half tho tobacco procured In the United States) would attempt to depress the price of leaf and thus drive the farmers to these other crops. The so-called tobacco trust Is con stants buying tobacco In Kentucky and elsewhere, and Is always ready to purchase tobacco from anyone, wheth er an Individual or association, that has it for sale. It has never thrown COFFIN ON FIRE. Mourners Rush Corpse Out of Doors and Fire Is Extinguished. WIl.KESBARRE. Pa., Jan." 26.

The Western Sentinel today give a number of estimates. from farmera as to the amount ot tobacco lo be sold.

Lust year the market sold about 16, ooo.oito pounds, and,' owing to the fuel that the present crop Is heavier thnn lust year's, many thought thut something near 20,000,000 ixiunda would be mar keted here this year. It Is generally conceded now that this estimate will not pan out, . , faking 10,500,000 pounds as rep resenting two-thirds of the crop, It would menu that there Is yet r,2oti.ll )n pounds in the hands of tbe growers Should the growers receive an av erage of 12 cents per pound for tin) remarfiiiig 5,250,000 pounds they would receive the sum of $630,000.00.

Westfleld, N. C, Jan. 29, 1938, Mr. Editor In reply to yours of the 27th Inst., will say that the best esti mate I have been able to make is that there Is not more than 33 per cent, of the tobacco crop In the hands of the farmers at present. The farmers who pledged their to bacco to the Farmers' Association have been notified that they were un der no further obligation to their pledge, as tobacco had reached the price asked for, but we advise them to continue to market It slowly to avoid any glut on the market.
