Tobacco Growers Association

The Executive Committee of the To.
bacco Growers Association In session
here drafted plan af organization
for the guidance of the idea of obtain
ing uniformity Of purpose and re.
suit in the locals, which will automa-
tically become part Of the State org
anization. The recommendation and
plan are as follows:
"The Executive Committee Of the
North Carolina Tobacco Growers AS
ISOLATION In meeting at Raleigh, Octo.
Der LIST, 1920, recommended and urge
that all tobacco growers In North Car
DINA organize themselves into the
North Carolina Tobacco Growers AS
ISOLATION, and invite all parties inter-
ested In the growing and selling of to-
bacco to join thsi organization.
I'VE recommend that in every coun.
ty in veery tobacco district, there be
organized county branches of this as.
ISOLATION"
"The tobacco crop Of 1920 is large,
but 1t is not sufficiently large to cause
the low prices now prevailing. Tobac-
co is selling at below the cost Of pro.
duction and we urge every tobacco
grower in North Carolina to market
his crop as slowly as possible, cover
ing period of eight NOTWITHSTANDING
only what he is compelled to sell to
save and to be just to all cooperative
creditors, holding the balance Of his
crop until adequate prices, covering
at least the cost Of production and
reasonable profit thereon can be Sc.
cured.
I'VE urge that all farmers agree
and bind themselves to largely reduce
the tobacco crop of 1921, sufficiently
to bring the supply Of tobacco pro.
duced in that year within the limit
Of the estimated demand, considering
also the estimate existing supply.
