support of State and local bankers for
whom the offer of the War Finance
Corporation opens new field of pro-
fitable cooperation within tobacco far
mers throughout the belt.
For the organized tobacco growers
and the thousands of farmers from
three States who are joining the Asso-
citation every month, the action of the
War Finance Corporation assures the
safe and orderly marketing of tobac-
co which resulted in largely increased
profits and new source of credit for
Kentucky farmers whose organization
has now sold 7O,O0O,000 pounds of to-
bacco for highly satisfactory prices,
during one month receiving an aver
age of 20 cents a pound for tobacco
sold through the Association, while
that sold outside the Association
brought less than 81 cents per pound
upon the auction warehouse floors.
Close to 80 percent of the Tobacco
farmers of Virginia have joined the
Marketing Association, and North
Carolina growers are nearing a rs
per cent sign-up following the recent
statewide campaign for members.
A whirlwind campaign among to-
bacco farmers of South Carolina will
Monday, June 26th and will continue
until every one of the 38 co-opera-
tive marketing points of the South
Carolina belt has been reached with
mass meeting.
Leaders Of the movement from
Kentucky, Virginia and North Caro-
lima will join this campaign which
will mark the last opportunity for
South Carolina farmers to market this
years crop with the giant co-opera-
tive.

THIRTY MILLIONS
IN THIRTY MINUTES

Thirty million dollars in thirty
minutes is the world record establish
ed by the Directors Of the largest CO.
operative marketing association of
America who met with Eugene Meyer,
Jr., and officials Of the War Finance
Corporation in Washington, D. c.,
last week.
The committee of directors from
the Tobacco Growers Co-operativc
Association secured approval of the
loan for the $4,000 tobacco farmers of
Virginia, North Carolina and South
Carolina, which now assures the sue
cess of their association beyond a
doubt.
Officers of the War Finance Corpora
tion were so familiar with the man.
agcmcnt of the Association, and so
confident of its success that they took
only thirty minutes to signify appro-
val of the greatest loan ever made to
organized farmers, in the history of
the United States.
In addition to the loan of $3O,OOO,-
600 which vii lenable the big Tobacco
Cooperative to pay it's members cash
advances upon delivery of their to-
bacco, the War Finance Corporation
further agrees to re-discount loans
secured by green or soft order tobacco
for local banks throughout the Vir-
ginia- Carolina tobacco belt.
The loan of the War Finance Cor
poration is to be secured by more
than 350,000,000 pounds of it's mem
ber stobacco now under five years con-
tract with the Tobacco Growers Co.
operative Association, which reprcs-
cnts a value of over $70,000,0OO in the
first year Of operation, according to
conservative estimates.

fourth circuit, and we'll known planter
Of Marion County South Carolina
joined the list Of leading tobacco
growers from South Carolina who
have signed the contract of the To-

the cooperative association as their
marketing agency, many tobacco far
mers are now making haste to sign
before it is too late to Market this
years crop at the 38 cooperative
warehouses in South Carolina.
Contracts pouring into Raleigh
Horny, Florence, Darlngton,' Williams
burg and Clarendon Counties are ad-
ding strength to the Association
daily.
The widest rumors are being cir
culated against the South Carolina as
revealed by telegram from Lumber
ton recently received at headquarters
Of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association cnquiring as to report
that thousand growers were suing
the Burley Association of Kentucky.
Absolutely false" was the term ap-
piled to these rumors by VIM. Col
Inns, Assistant Chief of Field Service
for the Burley Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association.
In answer to telegram of inquiry
from headquarters of the Tri-State
organization, Mr., Collins telegraphcd
as follows:
Report that thousand growers are
suing Burley Association is absolute
ly false. Members are well satisfied
everywhere and sign-up continues.
Six hundred forty new contracts re-
ceived last week and over five hund-
red this week. About five thousand
members added since warehouses clos
ed. Are confident of ten thousand
more before next crop delivered"
