WILSON WILL BE THE
CENTRAL POINT.

If Wilson county goes over the top
in the matter of cooperative market
ing, there is every indication that
Wilson will share in the profit and
effort incident thereto. 1t will be
highly creditable to Mr.. Tomlinson
who is President of the organization
If this county shall show it's appre-
citation of it's efforts by signing up as
one man. The cost of joining the as
sociation is only three dollars for
each crop separately and five dollars
If taken together.
The plan is not to attempt to
handle the 1921 crop, but to get in
shape for the 1922 crop.
The federal reserve board has an
nounced that It will extend loans on
farm products for six months in

it seemed desirable to coordinate the

directors OF the league here tonight
which lasted for six hours behind
closed doors.
The directors tonight unanimous
ly affirmed the decision reached in
Norfolk last week, allowing the pro-
test of the Wilson club of the second
game of a double header played in
Richmond on June Is, and ordering
the game completed. The demand
of the Wilson club for a full nine-in-
ming game was voted down and the
game will be resumed where it
stopped with the score standing to
4 in favor of Richmond and two and
one-kalf innings to be played, giving
the Richmond club three times at
bat and the Wilson club two.
In order to effect a speedy termi-
nation of the championship. the
game scheduled to De played between
Richmond and Wilson in Wilson on
July Is was ordered transferred to
Richmond and the protested game
will be completed at the expiration
of the regularly scheduled game.
The other two games of the series
will be played in Wilson.
The charges were openly made
that both the Wilson and Rocky
Mount clubs have grossly violated
the league salary limit of $4,000 a
month and both clubs were accused
Of paying as much as $4,000 month
in salaries.
There was tendency on the part
of some of the clubs to declare both
the Rocky Mount and Wilson clubs
ineligible for the championship of
the first half, however, final settle
ment of the salary question was left
for future meeting.
1t was voted to request Mile Sew
ton, treasurer Of the National Asso-
citation of Professional Baseball
Clubs to examine the books of all
the clubs in the league and to re-
port his findings to the directors.
AS soon as practicable a specia
meeting will be called to receive Mr..
Sections report.

THE TARIFF.

Those in favor OF high train have
played their game so nicely that they
have succeeded in duping the farm
ers of the north and west into the
belief that a high tariff will put up
the price of provisions. The Emerg-
ency Tariff bill was designed for
this purpose, and having gotten him
in that frame Of mind the manufact-
urers of the east are now working on
a higher tariff to feather their nests.
According to the Democratic, the
tariff makers have increased the
rates over those of the Payne-Aldrich
.measAre and that too in the face of
a general depression over the coun-
try. The farmers Of course will suf-
fer, since they sell their products in
the markets OF the world, and will
have TO buy. what they use at home,
while the manufacturers by running
"a wall around the home markets can
shut out foreign manufactures, and
when they have a surplus from their
factories can unload it abroad at
lower price. In other words they will
make the home consumer pay for
the manufacture as well as the pro-
mt on the goods made in America.

TOBACCO CROP POOR

The tobacco crop in this section
is poor, and the weight is of about
one third in the estimate of local to-
bacconists and planters, and this
agrees~swith the government report
recently issued.
The indications are there will DC
little good tobacco in this crop, and
the prices for poor tobacco will be
low and that good tobaccoes should
bring a correspondingiy better price
The situation in the tobacco trade
is about ais it has been. There is
little demand abroad for tobacco and
sales are small. There Ia much to
bacco stored abroad and very little OF
it is moving.

FIVE MILLION TO FINANCE
COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION
(Edwaru E. Britton in The News and
Observer.)

Observer.)
Warrington, July 10.-The an
nouncement made by the War FL
nance Corporation that it has given
a FIVE million dollar backing to the
cooperative association handling a
large bulk of the long staple cotton
of the Mississippi Delta has bear
ing upon the general serious condi-
ton OF the cotton producers which
should be recognized throughout the
South. and it is matter that should
be given attention by cotton produc-
ers, cotton exporters and financial
interests concerned in cotton in
North Carolina, for it seems that In
this way alone is there a present day
prospect OF bettering conditions
which have in them the threat of alb
solute ruin to the farmers. affecting
the entire economic situation.
Nothing whatever had been done
by the War Finance Corporation In
the long staple cotton matter. I
called upon A. w. Mclean, the North
Carolina banker, cotton producer,
and business man, who is a member
of the corporation and for consid-
erable time it's managing director.
Mr. Mclean is the only man on the
board of the corporation who comes
from the cotton and tobacco produc-
ing section of the country, and as a
member Of the board he has given the
most earnest consideration 20 plans
which might tend to aid in securing
better conditions for agricultural m
terests, especially those having to
do with cotton and tobacco. Know
ing both the practical and the theo-
retical side of the matter his view of
the situation is one that should have
weight with all who seek kto kbetter
existing conditions.
Mr.. Mclean expressed the opinion
that the plan adopted by the staple
cotton growers association could
well be followe din North Carolina,
this plan, he stated, being the first
example Of a practical organization
of any group of cotton farmers of
the South upon the cooperative mar,
keting plan The members of the.
Mississippi association, some eleven
hundred or more OF the largest cot
ton growers of the Delta section,
have an agreement by which the
representatives of the association
have the exclusive control of the
marketing of the cotton for a period
of five years beginning in 1921. In
the eonsummation of the plan an as
sociation of this kind must be able
to finance the growers to the extent
of at least fifty per cent of the mar
ket value of the cotton in the way
of advance, pending final sale of the
cotton. The association must ar,
range for the selling agencies both
in this country and abroad, all cot
ton included in the cooperative plan
to be sold through tie association,
1T being allowed to UareE ouse the
cotton in :his country for future ex-
port. This plan being adopted the
War Finance Corporation will make
an advance on a basis of approxi-'
mately one half the market value of
the cotton, the advance for max
imum period of one year.
