The Tobacco Growers Association
has not been active lately in holding
meetings in various districts, and
while there seems TO be great
amount of enthusiasm on the part of
some few growers, there is also an APP
parent lack of interest on the part of
others. This is due to several things,

sister counies.fn Southern Maryland.
Calvert county has signed mp ninety
percent of her growers, while Anne
Arundel has signed little over 20 per-

organizations or the money organiza-
tons called meeting there would be
far larger attendance than twenty

county is being organized, and if there
should happen to be a meeting of the
labor in any one of the districts it is
safe to bet that there wuld be full
attendance.
The club, situated as the club is at
