CENT.

Acting upon the advice Of the
County Chairmen. the Organization
Committee Of the Tobacco Marketing
Association agreed 10 open the doors
10 allow rs many as care TO sign the
contract and get in on the ground
floor. owing to the fact that as many
tobacco growers were mislead as To
the outcome Of this movement il was
deemed advisable TO extend the time
until December 10th. at which time
the doors will close and all who stay
out then will not be able to get in
this Association.
The Burley district went way over
and a. stated above the few who
were left out again have this oppor-
,uni;y Of joining.
Garrard County has already gone
over in this association and We trust
that the few who have held out will
sign their tobacco and thus make the
plan 100 per cent strong in Garrard
instead Of 81 per cent that she has
signed. There will not be any drives
made, according to Judge Lewis l..
Walker. who il County Chairman Of
the organization. but. anyone wishing
10 sign the contract may do 50 at the
county Headquarters or see their
precinct chairmen.
Members Of the warehouse COM
mittee are busy with the problems
presented by the few warehouse com
panies which have not yet agreed To
close their plants pending the perma-
nent organizations, and hope to work
out all these problems by the time

tIons Is preparing data for the Use
that they shall be fully informed Of
the situation throughout the district
