marketing plan, and in company with
several growers visited Barney
Baruch in New York and laid before
him a plan, for financing* fl|cycrop.
On March 28 a meeting of tobacco
growers fnom Wisconsin, Indiana.
Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia.
West Virginia, North and South Car
olina and Georgia was held, at which
Aaron Sapiro presented the plan under
which California fruit and grair
growers and other producers are organized.
From this meeting the move
ment to organize the burley tobacct
growers was launched and after several
months 85 per cent of the crop
was pieajred and the Burley Tobaccc
Co-operative Marketing1 Association
incorporated in North Carolina.
When the Kentucky General Assembly
met the first of the year, the
Bingham co-operative marketing bill
was passed in record time and the
association then incorporated in Kentucky.
In the meantime, however, the
association had secured 117 tobacco
warehouses in Ohio, Indiana, West
Virginia and Kentucky for its exclusive
use. The War Finance Corporation
and banks in the interested districts
pledged almost $0,000,000 to
the association.
On January 20 the Warehouses were
opened for the receipt of pledged tobacco
and it was graded upon delivery
by the grower and a check for j
an estimated value of 40 per cent of J
the worth of the crop advanced to the
growers. Four days later the houses
throughout the burley district were
opened and tobacco began to pour in.
This plan will be in operation fori
at least five yca?\s, the farmers ,hav-1
ing signed up for this period of time.
Prior to H'01 the barn to barn sale
was in vogue. After this period the
loose leaf warehouse, where the tohacco
was taken by farmers and auctioned
off, was used extensively.
The first attempt to form a tobacco,
pool took place in Cincinnati in 1W>7,
but was short lived. The famous'
Iv.jiiity Society, with its attendant
r.M'lit riding and other evidences of
dissatisfaction was organized in 1905.
The Burley Society was organized
aloM'T simi'ar lines the next snrimr.,
After several years the Fquity disbanded.
The Hurley, however, continued
to operate. It is said that
never more than 30 per cent of the
crop was pledged to it in any year.
The loose leaf warehouse system
has been in us during the last few
years and there now are several bundled
such houses in Kentucky alone,
with many others in the adjoining
states.
The crux was reached in January,
K)21, when farmers offered their high
priced 1020 crops for sale. The average
price paid on the opening day on
the whole was far below the cost of
production and many growers faced
ruin.

THECHARGE
IS DISMISSED
Magistrate Hamilton Holds
That Civil Action Was Pending
for Same Property
The court of Magistrate M. A.
Hamilton at Adrian, S. C., was the 1
scene of an interesting trial recently, |
when J. Henry Alford was before the I
court on a charge of larceny of live
stock.
T. B. Lewis of the Conway bar, represented
the state, while the defendant
was represented by Mr. Suggs, of
the firm of Ford & Sujrgs. The defendant
was prosecuted by John G.
Allen, the owner of the hogs which,
it was alleged, had been taken by
the defendant.
It was a preliminary investigation
to see if a probable case had been
made out.
The proof at the trial showed that
there was a civil case pending' about
the same hogs. Some time before
that John G. Allen had brought a suit
in claim .and delivery to recover the
possession of the same hogs from the
defendant, Alford.
It was later that he swore out the
warrant alleging larceny of the animals.
It appeared that in October, 1921,
Alford took the hogs out of the pasture
of John G. Allen and placed
them within an inclosure of his own.
There the hogs remained until the
:!aim .and delivery action was brought
some time since.
After hearing all of the testimony
and the arguments of the a'torneys
the magistrate ruled that on account
of a pending civil action to recover
the possession of the hogs he would
dismiss the charge of larceny.
