Cantril Urges a 90-Day Cutout
Congressman James Campbell Cantrill urged a 90 day cutout of the 1920 barley tobacco crop for Kentucky Indiana and Ohio in a Lexington Woodland Park lecture before about 2000 locals. He warned growers to store the crop in bonded warehouses and sell half by April 15 then cut out the 1921 crop while holding the rest of the 1920 crop until December. He cited 642 million pounds held by parties and claimed European nations cannot buy due to war driven demand and exchange rates. He argued farmers face slumping prices and a monopoly on burley tobacco by the Blue Grass region.
