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

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.

to whether the cooperative contracts

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
