great many independent buyers that
they cannot come on our markets be
cause of the ungrading method of
marketing we have. The old COM
panies eomebecause they have pre-
pared to do the grading themselves,
but state that they would handle much
more, if properly graded. and would
pay better prices. We all know that
buyers judge and buy piles of sum
graded-tobaeco largely by the common
end of the pile.
eve are told by Mr.. Cothran that
South Carolina tobacco this season
sold for about the same as Virginia
and North Carolina, but he neglected
to say that in 1919 South Carolina
averaged 81 cents against North Car
olina's 81 cents and Virginia's. At
cents.
1--WE all know that all commodities
took a slump in July and August Of
last year, and that the older states
sold on a ia ling market, yet the price
paid, Mr.. Cothrsn says was about the
same in the three states.
We wonder if Mr.. Cothran has
taken time to figure a ten-year aver
age for the three states named. He
would be surprised to find that the
South Carolina growers here lost
about thirty-eight million dollars by
the 'sloven methcd of ..haEdling to-
bacco. But Mr.. Cothran, like the ne
gro's coon trap, Catches 'em going
and coming. =.
|"Mr. Cothran says our children will
be forced to stay out of school to
grade tobacco; Mr.. Cothran, are you
really going to have our compulsory
educational laws realed, CT is it that
you are not advised on this matter
owing to your short stay with US?
He also tells us We will miss the best
buyers if our selling season is length
ened. Who told you this? You have
hollered "wolf" before, we do not be-
lieve you. Again he says graded and
tied tobacco will get in tco high or
der but he admits he manages to
keep a big supply from last season
to the present o. the ungraded type.
Wonderful! VIII you explain why
ungraded tobacco will keep while
graded will mott Really, haven't you
built piles and piles of un3raded to-
bacco in high order that had never
rushed to -narket because the infor-
nation aad heen circulated that the
market was about to clase, prepare
tory to the warehousenan's annusl
fight? Really, this phase of tobacco
marketing would 5e most ridiculous
if it were nc; that it is farnre's
tragedy.
"No class of people are entirely pre-
pared for a change, especially the
farmers, but there isn't a more flttlns
item than now for grading AID tieing
our tobacco. Any farmer by a little
work and care can prepare his corr
barn for a grading room which is
usually empty from August to No
vember. The farmers want grading
and tieing and we must have it
Georgia will fall in line when she
finds out that it will be to her in
terest to do so. We certainly hope
that our General Assembly will give
us what we know to be the best meth
cd of marketing our tobacco and that

signing the bill.

Toxic Wants Health Center

New York, Nov. 27.-Tokio wants
health center like those of the large
cities of the United States and Eu-
rope. In an effort to obtain it, DR.
r. B .Teusler, director of st. Luke's
International Hospital at the Japan
ese capital, has just come to New
York to interest Americans in a pro-
ject to so expand that institution as
to equip it to perform the functions
of health center.
At present Toxic has no institution
that would correspond to the health
centers Of other nations.
1t is proposed to make st. Luke's
Hospital the nucleus for an establish
ment which shall include a hospital
of 26O beds, training school for $50
Japanese nurses, postgraduate de-
partment for training Japanese in
ternes and for medical research work,
public welfare and health depart
ment for training Japanese internes
and for medical research work, a pub
lie welfare and health department to
include medical social service and a
medical laboratory for American and
British medical literature and maga-
zines. DIR. Teusler says that about
81 100000 would be required to prop
erly establish the proposed health
center.
