C., and confirmed by the announcement of Judge Frank Daniels at Plymouth that its contracts with members are binding and enforceable by injunction was followed up at once by the filing of futher suits by the Association against four' con members in eight counties asking damages at the rate of five cents a pound for all tobacco sold in violation of thfi contract nlus attorneys* f ees. Six growers are ordered to appear October 30th in the Wake County Court House at Raleigh, the headquarters town of the Association, to show cause why the restraining: order against them should not be made permanent. The men who are to appear before Judge C. C. Lyon in Raleigh next Monday are Henry A. Mason of Wake County, A1 Walker of Wake County, J. T. Daniel of Granville County, David Gurganus of Greene County, C. E. and M. T. Winstead of Person County and W. J. Ball of Warren County whose cases involve damages and attorneys' fees of more than $6800. The largest grower named in the suits just filed is W. J. Ball of Wise, Warren County, who is said to have raised or acquired a crop of 100,000 pounds of tobacco and sold 50,000 pounds outside of the Association for which damages of $2500 are asked in addition to an allowance of $750. for attorneys' fees. That the Association will go the limit in protecting the interests of its loyal members by suits against contract breakers is evidenced from the fact that all the suits now on file are on printed forms and apply to members both in the old belt and Eastern North Carolina. Deliveries to the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association doubled in Eastern North Carolina last week and continued heavy throughout Virginia and the old belt. At celebrations over the legal Victory of the Association Oliver J. Sands of Richmond, its excutive manager was welcomed by thousands of tobacco farmers at Red Oak, Greenville, Kinston, Washington .and Rocky Mount. The second cash payment by the Association to all members in South Carolina will be made next week, and, according to Mr. Sands, the Association could go out of business today nnd make every member who has delivered tobacco two more payments, each as large as the first. No tobacco of the Association has been sold as low as the loan value placed upon it by the bankers and some grades have been sold for nine times the amount of the first cash advance to member growers. "There was never a company formed with a business as big as yours which has run as smoothly and successfully as your association", the manager of the big cooperative told its members in Eastern Carolina.

Kale and spinach may be planted as late as the first of November. However, it is better to get the seed in the ground just as early now ay possible. Siberian Curled is an exceptionally hardy variety of the kale Spinach planted at this season wil' be ready for use in the very earh spring. Plant spinach seed thickly in the row (6 to K seed to the inch), as it is usuaiiy difficult to secure v stand. Onion seed and onion sets should be planted in October or early November. Australian Brown, Prizetaker, and Yellow Globe Danvers are good varieties to use when seed Pie to be nlanted. If sets are to bo planted use Yellow Danvers and White Pearl. The Yellow and White Multipliers are very desirable for home use,?one set planted now will divide and make at least a dozen onions by early spring. Lettuce seed may be planted now in colrl frames and if protected with either canvas or glass will supply cutting lettuce during December, January, and February. Lettuce seed planted in the open ground now will usually stand the winter and be ready for transplanting in the very early spring. Big Boston and Hnnson are two exceptionally fine varieties. Asparagus roots may be planted during October .and November. It is not too late to plant strawberry plants. If these are set by the first of November they will become well established before very cold weather and produce a few berries next spring. Cabbage seeds may be planted in cold frames, protected lightly during the very severe weather, alnd transplanted to the field in early March. Charleston Wakefield and Succession are good varieties for home use.
