The fervent hope, the distant dream of Carolina and Virginia farmers has come to pass in two short years. The dream of an all embracing organization to cover the majority of a leading Southern staple crop and to include the greater number of its j producers under a single binding con- j tract is now an accomplished fact Cooperative commodity marketing j for tobacco in the Carolinas and Vir- j ginia has come to stay. The strength j and numbers of its organization are increasing daily. More than a thous- j and new members are now joining ^ the movement week by week. By moderate estimate, Virginia , growers have signed with the asso- t ciation 80 per cent of their entire crop. North Carolina growers have j a membership of 65 per cent within ^ the association and 60 per cent, of < the tobacco of South Carolina is now j under contract with the Tri-State organization. With over 75,000 members repre- j seating 350,000,000 pounds of tobac- ^ co, it is estimated that 70 per cent. f of the growers and the tobacco in the three states are now with the j Tobacco Growers' Cooperative Asso- , . ,. <= ciation. r If only 60 per cent, of the tobacco farmers were organized within the ^ Carolinas ind Virginia with the same j advantagv which the 70,000 members of the Tobacco Growers' Asso- ? ciation now enjoy, their advantages ? as compared to the unorganized j minority would be impressive. ] With 210 warehouses evenly dis- ? tributed throughout the belt, as com- . pared to less than half that number } for the unorganized growers who now ( lack warehouse facilities in many j former markets, the members of the j association have the advantage over ^ son signers. Cooperative warehouses s have supplanted auction floors in many Virginia towns. In South ( Carolina, Timmonsville, Florence, ^ Kingstree and Aynor have recently j become 100 per cent, cooperative mar- , kets, and only tobacco of the organized growers will be received at , these centers. The large majority of ( warehouses in North Carolina are now under the management of j the organized growers, evenly dis- \ tributed throughout the state. At the cooperative warehouses, VMAVMUAWA tViA o coA^iot JAM ron rlo. ilicmuci O VX U1V UOJVAtiUWiVK VtMl UV liver their tobacco, receive cash payment in the form of a liberal advance upon delivery, and return on 1 the same day. Members desiring more money at ' the time of their first delivery will be able to secure it by loans upon their participation receipts for the ? balance of their unsold tobacco held j in storage by the association. As compared to the unorganized grow- j ers who travel far to reach the large markets in the hope of fair prices, j and lose many days from travel, glutted sales and other delays, the organized grower is at a great ad vantage, for he is assured of the ] same grading, the same prices, the 1 same consideration on the smallest ( or the largest market of the asso ciation. While the unorganized grower offers his tobacco to the men who are , paid to grade it and buy it lor ine benefit of the big companies, the I member of the growers' association places his tobacco in the hands of his own employees who are paid by him to grade and value it for his special benefit. Here again the organized tobacco grower has the advantage over the helpless individual who hopes for kindness or good luck on some distant market's floor. The majority of the growers in the three states which now have the world's largest cooperative market^ ing association, enjoy the advantage of forty million dollars in loans to assure the orderly and profitable sale of their crop. Compared to the unorganized growers who are driven by debts and mortgages to sell as rapidly as possible, driving the price lower and lower in competition with each other, the member of the association whose tobacco will be redried, processed, and held for the highest bidder on the markets of the world is fortunate indeed. While the recognized leaders of the American Leaf Trade are employed by the organized tobacco farmers in the marketing of their clip, the minority of growers outside of the association will be obliged to dump their tobacco on the remaining auction floors, pitting their judgment in a losing struggle against the cleverest dealers whom the compaines can hire to ouy tooacco ior tnem at the lowest dollar. Behind cooperative growers is the record of success by other farmers echo have organized to sell theicrops. In the sand hills of North Carolina, on the Eastern shore of Virginia, in the blue grass country )f Kentucky, in Calfornia and in Denmark cooperative marketing has jrought prosperity. Behind the helpless individuals who continue to offer their product on :he auction floors, there is a record )f failure, debt and poverty. What is there that the unorganizid grower can do that the organized STower cannot do, except to submit <0 the outworn system of auction >ales which has been tried for thirty rears and found wanting? o News From Hemingway.
