While in Florence last week a sug
gestion was made to organize the to
baccc growers into an association tc
further the interests Of those who
market tobacco. The argument is thai
the buyers who come to this State
force an early sale OF the weed in order
to get to other markets, and the resul
is that our farmers do not get the price
their-product is entitled to. The pro
posed organization purposes to have
longer time in which 10 market, anc
thereby give to the growers time K
grade and otherwise put the weed into
shape that will bring more money, a:
it is, the foreign buyers come here, stay
a very short time, and require the to
hacco rushed into the market so they
can get to the markets in North Caro-
lima, and Virgingia Then too, the
matter of warehouse charges is a fea
ture that the association will take intt
consideration-the growers complain
of the charges being too high, and the!
intend to ask for legislation to regulate
this. The law now fixes the charge:
but this was done when the tobacco in
dustry was in its infancy, the charge!
fixed at that time have not been chang
ed, and it is contended that with tht
quantity OF tobacco grown now tht
charges can be considerably reduced
and still leave fine profit for the ware
housemen. Clarendon being quite ;
tobacco growing section, we shoult
like to have the views Of some of th'
farmers on this subject. We COMES
our inability to know whether by leg
islat;on longer market can be secur
! ed, and whether or not the charges o
the warehousemen are out OF proper
! ton, but should there be al association
! formed, those put at the head of /
! should be conservative business mel
who have a full knowledge Of the to
bacco culture, and are acquainted will
the methods Of the various markets.
