IN EPE NT, A (OURE
Editor .Manning "Imese
Dear Sir:
In keeping with my usual cstom at
this time of year I will again ask you
for space in your paper to mention
as -briefly as I can some matters per
taining to the tobacco industry of this
Mountry
' Lef me 'first state .iii the outset that
I Ai l again operate an Independenb
Warehouse: at Manning,, ii 1923. I
want to make this as plain as I can,
as this is the ti e of year that to
bacco growers' in south Carolina want
to know what to look, forward too,
and what they can depend-upon, what
market facilities there will be at cer
'tain points, and especially those
places nearest or most conveniept to
the majority of farmers concerned.
I have made arrangements to have
a tobacco warehouse built adjoining
the property that I used this year. I
mean the automobile shop where Man
ning tqbacco market was again re
established after the Co-ops had taken
over the old marketing facilities. I
will dwell upon this subject later.
I will have associated with me In
this new project next year 1923, Mr.
John D. Gerald, who was formerly
with the Co-ops." Mr. Gerald is too
well known to the public for me ".to
have much to say about his business
qualifications. Mr. Gerald is noted
for his business ability, his thorough
ness and honesty. He made the last
payment here for .the Co-ops a short
while ago.. I am delighted to have
him with nc and the Co-ops have lost
one of the best men they had at Man
ning. We will have ample room to
handle from three to four million
pounds of tobacco. The contract for
this building has already been signed
up and work will start early in the
Spring in time to have -the building
finished by July the first. This build
ing will be equipped with Crone Au
tomatic Scales, and every facility
that will expedite matters that has to
do with the convenience of the farm
ers and buyers.
You may hear later on that Mr.
Gerald and I will not operate this
'house in 1923 for the Independents.
Let me brand any reports to the con
trary absolutely false. You heard
mruch relating to this business this
'ye'ar that has already proven false.
Mi. Gerald and I have leased this
property for a number of years and
we most positively and assuriedly are
goibg to carry out our contract if we
live. I have never sold my word or
gone back on a promise to my friends.
I have never heard this of Mr. Gerald
eithei'.
Yow will see a great deal more to
bacco sold at auction this coming year
than was sold in 1922 at auction.
There "is no doubt in the world but
that thu auction system is by far the
best am I most satisfactory way to
sell tobacco. This was proven in this
State this year and any one doubting
my word. can go to North Carolina or
Virginia, and see what is happening
there under the same system. I will
not go into details now along this
line, but vil gladly do so later if any
one wants to- take issue.
We believe that there will be a
good tobacco in 1923. Quality -is
what counts in South Carolina tobac
co. I could give hundreds of instances
to prove this.
The tobacco plant bed is one of the
fundamentals .in growing good tobac
co. Fail in pla nts or raise them too
late and you niake a failure in your
tobacco crop. Prepare your plant
lands good. Saw beds where they
will be protected from - cold north
winds. Sow beds in January. from
first to middle of. month.
We will have u.n hand seed for Ini
dependent groweirs. See Mr. Gerald
when in town. I will be awvay from
home during the nionth of January.
We will ihave seed in amnhl time so
see Mr. Gerald.
Yours very respectfully,
R. D. Cothran anc.I J. D. Gerald,
Proprietors Indiepeodent Warehouse,

THE CO-OPS END
4 RECORD YEAR
Co-operative marketing rides to the
close of 1922 on the flood tide of suc
cess.
Nation-wide recognition of the
benefits of co-operative associations
which include a half a million farm
ers was voiced last week in the Wash
ington Conference of coo-peratives
from all sections of the United States.
Carl Williams, President of the Am
erican Cotton Growers -Exchange, de
clared this conference - the most im
portant move in American history
for the benefit of the farmer.
President Harding, Secretary Her
bert Hoover, Senator Capper and Eu
gene Meyer, director of the War ''in
ance Corporation, paid tribute to the
work of the co-operative associations.
Following last week's second pay
ment by the North Carolina Cotton
Association, members, of the Tobacco
Growers Co-operative Association
throughout Eastern North Carolina
double their cash receipts this week
on all tobacco delivered by Decem
ber first to the Associaion. A second
payment to all members of the To
bacco Growers Coo-perative Associa
tion in the old belt will follow on all
deliveries made up to December 20th
as soon thereafter as checks can be
made out And (gstributed.
A third cash payment to the or
ganized growers of South Carolina
will be distributed after Association
members in Virginia and Western
North Carolina have doubled their
money .on all deliveries for 1922.
With larger crops5 this year than
last, tobacco farmers in three states
have received more for their tobacco
than in 1921. In North Carolina and
Virginia November sales have showvn
a gain of three dollars per hundred,
while the South Carolina gitwers have
practically dioubledl last year's prices.
With the orderly marketing of both
tobacco and cotton by thousands of
farmers through their co-operative
associations in the Carolinas and Vir
ginia, the tide of pi'osperity is rising
as the growers adlopt and usle the
methlods of~ big business to success
fully sell their products.
