TOBACCO CO-OP !
I GIVES FIGURES
The Tobacco Growers' Co-operative
Association has increased its membership
more than 20,00 within less tbfyi
a year, according to official announcement
from the Kaleigh headquarters
of the association and will begin the
New Year with a membership of over
85,000 organized tobacco farmers.
Within five months of its first marVoting
operation the association has
received 117,937,109 pounds of tobacco
from deliveries by its members.
More than $12,000,000 in cash has
already been distributed to the co-operative
growers and the second payment
to be m/*de this month to association
members in the Old Belt of
Virginia and Western North Carolina
will bring the total disbursements of
the big tobacco co-operative to $19,248,895.64,
with further payment assured
in the not far distant future.
From South Carolina 15,356,949
pounds have been delivered by co-operative
growers. In North Carolina
56,771,454 pounds have reached the
i. t *r
uu-uperuvive noors. in Virginia Bright
District the members have delivered
39,025,676 pounds to date. The Dark
Growers of Virginia have marketed
6.113,095 pounds through their association
and the farmers of the suncured
area have added 669,935 pounds.
With a large majority sign-up of
Virginia growers in the association
and amounts of tobacco still to be
hroufrht in by growers of the bright,
the dark and the sun-cured leaf in
the Old Belt, the association is certain
to make a splendid record "for
deliveries in its first year of operaAccovding
to a recent announcement
of the directors, the association
was never in so strong a position as
it holds today. Large and successful
sales to leading tohacco companies
continue at highly satisfactory prices.
A third payment to members will begin
in South Carolina as soon as piacticable
after the Old Belt co-operatives
have doubled their money, by
the second advance of $7,000,000 to be
paid them this month.
Owing to unusually heavy receipts
just before the holidays all warehouses
of the Tobacco Growers' Association
in North Carolina and Virginia
will delay opening from January
3rd to January 9th, according to the
announcement of T. C. Watkins, manaprer
of warehouses for the association.
o
The best w,ay to make the co-op
erative marketing associations effective
is to pet the whole people interested
in them. The local units
which have been formed in different
sections of the county will meet at
Conway on January 10th.

A Bishop of the Episcopal Church
lived all his life unwed. A friend
mentioned that one of the states was
imposing a tax on bachelors, to be increased
a certain percentage for each
ten years of bachelorhood, and added:
"Why, Bishop, at your ape you would
have to pay a hundred dollars a
year."
"Well," said the Bishop, "it's wortk
it,"

Tell it to The Horry Herald.
