Growers Will Act Together.

MI Franklin Weems, secretary of the
Maryland Tobacco Growers Association
returned to Baltimore last week from
Hartford County, " here on Monday night
he addressed large meeting Of III Ha1-
ford county Tobacco, Growers Associa-
ton on the ways of Maj yland tobacco
growers. MIR. Weems' address was a re-
sumo of the work IF the Maryland asso-
citation which has been very effective in
breaking down the N ,nopoly miiDtain ed
for several years up TO two years ago by
the American Tobacco Company and the
French Reggie buyers in the MARYLAND
market.
In place of blind market" said Mr.
Weems in his address, I'VE determined
to have an open markst. Organization
was the only key by which we could hope
to open the doors of success, and the
Maryland Tobacco Growers Protective
Association as it stands today is the form
and fashion of that key. The business
was all new to Us when we started in the
fall of 1905, and we had to feel our way
from the start. Now we know just what
we want and we feel quite sure as to how
to work to get it.
by means of organization VIC have
been able to discover the nature and ex-
tent of Reggie contracts; to demonstrate
the fact that Maryland tobacco can be
and is used by itself and in combination
with other growths as filler for good Gig
ars; to relieve the contraction Of our To-
cal market and to open it up to free &C
cess to whoever may want to buy it: to
compile directory OF our growers, SO
that 1t is now possible to reach each one
by letter or circular, rs occasion may re-
quire; to decide on the most profitable
kinds and varieties for Us to grow to in
prove the texture Of The leaf-to increase
the yield per acre. By organization we
were enabled last year To save our grow
ers tbs loss of at least $50 900 at one
stroke, when during the gut the buyers
attempted to break the market, and we
have gradually worked up the prices 10
about 0ne-:hird more than prevailed in
1905"
After the address the Connecticut A.
ISOLATION adopted the following resolu.
tions, which viii prove Of interest and
encouragement to Maryland tobacco
growers:
Whereas, The combinations existing
among those who produce and distribut
manufactured tobacco IN the United
States have So affected the market sUr
the raw material that necessity compeIs
the growers thereof to organize for self
protection and for improvement Of The
conditions under which they labor, ami
Whereas, 1t behooyes all such organl-
cations to give mutual recognition and
support to each other; therefore, be T:
Resolved, That the Hartford CouAty
Tobaeco-growers Protective Association
does hereby extend to lhe Maryland To-
bacco- growers Protective Association It's
best wishes and the assurance Of its
sympathy and hearty support in every
effort to raise the prices for leaf tobacco
and unltes III an urgent appeal 20 ali
tobacco-growers not only 10 Join then
local associations, but to sustain anC
actively al q them in the good work they
are now doing.
