"> minutes is the world record established
by the directors of the largest
cooperative marketing association
of America who met with Eugene
t Meyer, Jr., and officials of the war
finance corporation in Washington,
** D, C., last week.
\ The committee of directors from
\the Tobacco Growers Cooperative asr
sociation secured approval of the loan
for the 75,000 tobacco farmers of
Virginia, North Carolina and South

cess of their association beyond a

Officers of the War Finance Corporation

so confident of success that they took
\ only thirty minutes to signify approval
of the greatest loan ever made
to organized farmers, in the history
of the United States.
In addition to the loan of $30,000,000
which will enable the big Toi
bacco Cooperative to pay its memIbers
cash advances upon delivery of
their tobacco, the war finance corporation
further agrees to re-diss
count loans secured by green or soft
s order tobacco for local banks
throughout the Virginia-Carolina to-,

The loan of the war finance cory
poration is to be secured by more
than 350,000,000 pounds of its memr
