Tomato Growers Adopt New Plan OF
Organization
Thursday, January 9Th, 1920, at
Woodbury., the reorganization COM
mittee of the Federation of Tomato
Growers met and adopted a plan OF
organization that promises to bring
striking results.
Instead of the loose missionary
method heretofore used, there will
be a membership fee of five dollars to
the association, and each association
will put up a hundred dollars as a loan
to the Federation for capital on which
to work until the Federation is self
supporting through commissions. This
hundred dollars will be raised by, say,
ten men loaning SO each to the local
association.
A general sales manager will be
hired to take care of both the contract
and open market situation.
The contract price with different
tanners will be coming out soon, but
every farmer who wishes to be with
the man who "laughs last but best
should make up his mind that he is
going to deal with the Tomato Growers
Association and conduct himself &C
.c~ordingly. You don't have to jump IN
the mill for your contract at the first
appearance of a good price. There
is plenty of time for a good while to
come. Watch for the annual meeting
of the Salem County Tomato Growers
Association, Jan. 23rd, at the Court
House, Salem, 1870 P. M. and come. Be
a booster!
