Burley Tobacco Growers Association Faces Funding Hurdles
The Burley Tobacco Growers Association of Washington County met at the Court House to discuss funding and stock subscriptions amid a stalled capital plan. A prior Lexington gathering drew over 500 growers as talks aimed to raise one cent per pound to stabilize prices. The scheme tied warehouse financing and New York capital to buy and store tobacco, but a demand for additional $1,000,000 backing and stock has jeopardized the effort. If unresolved, growers may be released from contracts, affecting 1904 marketing.
