stemming type of tobacco could
easily have gotten eight cents

Many of the deepest thinkers on
/ the subject of farmers cooper
alton declare that it is absolute
| ly essential that all the growers
of the stemming type of tobacco
of the one sucker type of tobacco
and of the GAINESVILLE type of
tobacco, in other words all the
growers of the dark, fired type
of tobacco. should be in one as
ISOLATION. quite agree that
that would be by far the best
method of fighting the Trust,
and yet it is perfectly manifest
that if only the several associat-
ions selling this type of tobacco
would, through their sales COM
mittees, cooperate tremendously
the same good results could be
accomplished.
Were the Stemming District
Tobacco Association to go out of
business tomorrow, it has alread-
y accomplished a grand and glor-
Gus mission. Cooperating thro-
ugh this Association for seven
long years, farmers have educat
ed themselves, and have proven
to themselves conclusively that
it is perfectly feasible for farm
! ers to co. operate, and the farmers
of this section of Kentucky know
absolutely know that they are
the gamers, that they have pro-
fitted by millions of dollars by
reason of the Stemming District
Tobacco Association, not only so,
but farmers who have never
been members of this Associat-
ion, who have never co-operated
through any other Association,
know too that they are the gain
ers, have also proftted by mil
lions of dollars. So l comfort
myself by rejecting that were
anything disastrous to happen
to this Association under the pre-
sent stress and strain, it has
been one of the grandest sue
cesses in experimental, volun-
tary business association of far
mers.
Let all good members remem-
Der that this is an era of prog
ress. Woodrow Wilson and a
progressive Administration will
hold sway after March 4th.
Woodrow Wilson will surround
himself with a progressive cabi-
net. Congress, as at present
constituted. is progressive by a
large majority. What this adj
ministration will do for the
plundering trusts and combines
will be of ample sufficiency.
