Marketing Tobacco "In talking with some of the lead- j ing tobacco growers of this section, it seems that more or less all of them favor grading tobacco, but for some; reason they will not ask for a bill through the legislature making it, compulsory to grade tobalco. Neither i will they ask for reduced charges. Instead, it is learned, they will ask that j tobacco be sold strictly on a commission basis, doing away with both the weighing and auction fees, ine iarmers say they are willing to pay for the sale of their tobacco, but taking this year for example, there was so much sorry tobacco sold, much of it did not bring the charges, and this is where the kick comes in. The Enterprise hopes to see the time when all tobacco will be graded before it is placed cn the sales floor."?Mullins . Enterprise. "The tobacco growers of Eastern, South Carolina comprise many of the keenest business men in the State and it is to be presumed that they know how to manage their affairs; but it j would certainly appear that there is j room for great improvement in the! marketing ol the tobacco crop, not | 1 only in the particular mention by The ( Enterprise, but in other and perhaps . larger respects also. "Tobacco in South Carolina is still sold under forced conditions just as , it was in the days when the weed first' began to be grown in this State. The warehouses are kept open for a few! weeks only to suit the convenience of buyers who wish to come here before, they move on to the markets in other States. No matter what prices tobacco may be bringing, or what the prospect for an advance in prices later, the growers have to take what they are offered, for if they don't the warehouses ire closed later and there is no market for their product except they sh p it on to North Carolina or Virginia warehouses, which it is not practicable for most of them to do. "In ti e early days of tobacco growing in South Carolina this was a condition of affairs which the growers necessarily had to put up with.

Perhaps it would be more to the advantage of the growers of the tpbacco districts generally if their leaders got together and undertook to work out a system which would prolong the marketing season. The producers then might get the advantages of the rise in prices which seems to come as a i lule as the season advances and they at least would not have to wait, as they often do now, for many hours at wqvpVinnspc fnv a ohanrp to sell their stuff and then put it on the market when the buyers and auctioneers and everybody else were dead tired and anxious only to get through and get some rest.?News and Courier. ? 500 prs.

West, secretary of the South Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers' Asso-! ciauon, 11 was aeciuea w put uu an ; intensive* State-wide campaign for membership to the development organization. This campaign will be under the direction of the committee and will be prosecuted by the various ! trades, indv ;trial and professional as- j sociations allied with the South Caro-1 lina Landowners' Association in the furtherance of the latter's constructive program. The marketing committee was formed at a meeting held here last week and consisted of one member from various organizations. The primary object of the membership "drive" will be to adequately finance the development organization so that it'can carry out is objects, primarily that of taking up the antiboll weevil work where the extension department of Clemson College leaves off by the establishment of home markets to distribute the diversified prprlnnio /vf tfarm The method of procedure was decided on by the adoption of a resolution, introduced by A Mason Gibbes, of Columbia, president of the South Carolina Automobile Trade's Association, a members of the committee. The assistance of the press of the State was pledged to the program of the Landowners' Association by A. B. Jordon, of Dillon, president of the South Carolina Press Association, also a member of the committee. G. Croft Williams, secretary of the State board of charities and Corrections, stated that he had examined the program of the association and considered that it was broad and constructive, and its consummation was something every South Carolinian should work toward. One of the fundamental needs of the State, he asserted, was an adequate system of marketing, and the Landowners' Association was working toward this ob ject along practical lines. J. McFie Anderson, of Columbia, president of the South Carolina Hardware Dealers' Association, said that his association would certainly assist in the program of the development organization in every way. He intends to call the hardware dealers of Columbia together this weak and place before them the program of the association.
