STICK TO THE ASSOCIATION

Professor F. B. Bomberger, Of
the Maryland University, in dis
cussing the marketing Of farm
products at the meeting of the
st. Mary's Tobacco Growers AS
sociation, held on Saturday Of
last week, struck the keynote to
the whole tobacco situation when
he urged the growers to be loyal to
the Association. AS he aptly
pointed out, the tobacco market
Is largely the result Of a world
condition, but the Maryland
growers, by reason of being or
ganized, are in a far better posi-
ton than the unorganized grow
ers of other States.
The Association viii be in a.
position to help its members in
many ways that will tend to hold
up the price. The first, of course,
will be in discouraging over-pro-
duction, which is responsible for
the large stock now on hand.
Next will come the proper handl-
ing of the crop, its honest and
careful packing and its gradual
shipment after the product is
ready to ship. Only through the
Association can the growers be
prevented from hurrying their
tobacco to market before it is in
the right condition, and through
the same agency they can be kept
from shipping too much at any
one time and thereby over-crowd-
ing the warehouses and quitting
the market. There is no phase
of the tobacco growing industry
that does not call for a close,
compact organization in order
that the best results may be OBJ
tanned and the industry preserved
on a profitable basis.
The matter of the violation of
contracts by members Of the as
sociation came up for discussion,
and a resolution was passed pro-
viding that all such Irregularities
should be reported to the officers
of the association for action.
Among those who took part in |
the general discussion were DIR. |
Il. B. johnson, DIR. w. B. Burch, |
Messrs. w. F. Chesley, VIM. +. |
Herbert, w. S. Thrall, Thomas
Bond and VIM. G.. Reeder.
The next meeting Of the Asso- /
citation win be held on Saturday, |
May 18th.
