Thi;-: article states reasons why the claim, whether legal or not, should not be enforced this year.?Editor. There seems to be some conflict of opinion about .he rights of the Co-operative Tobacco Association in the share crops raised by farmers working lands on that plan. It is admitted by the association in the start, that if they really had any claim to the share of the cropper who had not signed the cooperative contract, they did not endeavor to enforce that claim last season, l.ast year the tenant's one half of the crop when parcelled off to him as his wages for raising the crop was disposed of by lii'm in u.'Uoto?nv limn Un ?U^1 ? ??i "iian,ii;i ?yoj( lie UIIU Llir landlord from whom he had obtained his land was not held responsible for the damages of five cents per pound provided for in the landlord's contract, speaking now of a landlord who signed up in the association while his share cropper had not signed up. It has been announced in a number of newspapers recently that the association have now put forth the claim that the association is due to have and sell the laborer's portion as well as tU? lanlord's portion in cases where the landlord is under the contract and the laborer is not. They assign as a reason lor not having enforced this idea last year, that contract for farming lands had been made before the association contracts had been signed, and therefore they did not claim the laborer's shares of the tobacco crops last year. They now announce that they are entitled to ali of the tobacco raised on the lands of their members, and this seems to be the substance of the claim as now made, regardless of whether the lands were rented out for a cash rental or on shares of the crops. Laying aside the direct question as to whether the cooperative contracts Will cover the shares of the workers on shares where those workers are not I I ' T ' -r' * T SHERIFF'SETS OFF HOMESTEAD There were further developments last week in the S. O. Jonrette store seizure at I S. C., what) the sheriff decided to set off the homestead a s claimed by the debtor and thus the executions would apply to what might be left over. It was reported that nothing was left over after the setting off of the homestead. This will end the warrant .vhich was issued last week against the deputy, as it appears that no delivery of the goods as sold was ever made, although the goods were auctioned, Hie highest bid was made by the deputy himself, doubtless because some .question had been raised about the homestead right. under contract with the association, as to its legal aspects under the exact terms of that contract; there appears one hing that the association has overlooked that may be a controlling factor in deciding this matter for the present season. We will now try to explain what this point is that they have overlooked. There can be no doubt that the landlord can, if he will, control the sale cf all tobacco raised on his land, for he will sell his own share on the cooperative plan as he ought to do under ti e contract he made, and can cause the tenant, to agree, when he lets hirn ti e land, to sell his share with the landlord in the association. The tenant cr share cropper, having agreed to sell his crop in that way, makes it possibla ior the whole crop to go to the association. under and by means of the two contracts. Now as the association had not enforced the claim to the laborer's part last year, for the reason which they have only now advanced; and having given no previous notice that thev would raise the claim this year, until after the farming plars and contracts for the lear of 1923 had i *.1. . , juttue, arm ine crop actually pi'oduced and being marketed before making 1 wn their position; can they successfully at this time establish .their claim to this out side share of tobacco? They stood by and said nothing as the contracts were being made ,\vith the croppers on lands, they stood by as the tobacco was being cultivated and cured, and now when it is being sold they come in and lay claim to (something that the landlord cannot give them, and they say that they will make him pay the five cents per pound. ? Even if the association can enforce this claim that they now make in the courts of the land, will they not be placing on their own members a burden that those members wili. resent, under the circumstances existing this year as we have explained above ? Will it pay the association to hold up the five cents per pound out of other tobacco of the members that they may have in hand to settle off this cl&im for the five cents per pound of outside shares on other lands? When the one hnlf of a tobacco cropthat has been raised by a laborer or* the farm is set apart to him as His pay for raisin# the crop, the law says tha\ this share belongs to the laborer and that he shall have the right to dispose of it as he sees fit. The landlord iri powerless at this time to make him go and sell it in the association. There is another trouble which.may arise in this matter. Farm labor is scarce and Retting more and more so ' as negroes leave the South for what they seem to think are better chances in the North. It is not every farm laborer that yet understands the benefits to come to him bv cooperative selling. It will take a still longer .time to open his eyes to this great advantage, and until this can be done the^e is no way to force him to agree with the land owner to sell hn- share of the crop with the land owner with the association. The landowner must let his fine tobacco lands lie idle. He hai more than he can work himself and he cannot tret farm labor because thev had rather work at something .else than to go into something thev do not understand. In this way valuable lands may go untilled and be of no service to anybody. In our humble opinion this claim aa made this yeai is going far rway from the rignt com - ? the association should take. They should reconsider the matter and change their plans and if they still think they are entitled to have this tobacco, or the five cents per pound damages for it, they should announce now that that they wiil enforce it next season, but will be content th;s .year with the landlord's part of it only, in all cases where the laborer refuses to come in with his share volun- 1 tnrily. .
