Kentucky Tobacco Growers Plan For 1905 Corner Scheme
Kentucky tobacco growers propose a new county based plan to finance Burley sales. Each county association would issue 50,000 in stock for 1,000,000 pounds of tobacco, with 80 percent of proceeds to counties and 20 percent to a central firm. Critics say the plan lacks sufficient funding and would create about twenty local companies with only a 1,000,000 working capital.
