SOUTH CAROLINA
HAS GOOD SHOWING
VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA
TOBACCO GROWERS ORGANIZE
ASSOCIATION LOCALS.

First advance payments to men,
bers of the Tobacco Growers Cooper
ative Association in South Carolina
on nine markets for the first nine de-
livery days this year, averaged more
than the total receipts of growers
under the auction system, for the
same period last year, according to
figures just compiled by the South
Carolina Offices of the Association.
At Bamberg and Hartsville member
growers averaged two cents pound
more in advance than the averaged
paddy the auction" system in 1921.
In the face of these figures and the fact
that the Association has increased It's
advance payments to South Carolina
members and is urging them to make
early deliveries in order to hasten
the second payment, only growers
with short memories find any reason
to cling to the out-of-date auction
system. That many of them still re-
merYber 1921 is shown by the way
now contracts are being signed IN the
Palmetto state.
More than twenty Virginia coun-
ties have perfected local organizations
in school districts or townships and
the five hundred locals are holding
regular meetings at which problems
of the member growers are discussed
and plans made for holding the AS
sociation with a united front in its
fight against the old auction system.
Growers in four counties in West
ern North Carolina have requested
assistance from headquarters in per-
fecting some 200 local community or
CARNATIONS on the eve of the open
ing of warehouses IN this territory.
In response to this call the Assocla-
tion has sent L. E. Rogers Of Vir-
ginia, R. ]. Works of Kentucky, and
Field Representatives L. V. Morrell,
]. B. Farley and H. H. Lawly of
North Carolina to cooperate with the
growers under the leadership of Di-
rector ]. w. King and j. B. Swain,
district representatives ii these coun-
ties.

appliances for washing and sterii%

the multiplication of bacteria in the

that become foul in this way are hart

Investigations show that hotels,

BUTCHERS USE NOVEL PLAN

Recognizing that livestock improve
ment is beneficial to the meat trade
as we'll as to producers of animals,
butchers are becoming interested in
the better sires idea. A progressive
firm of butchers in a small Ohio city
seeks TO better the livestock of that
locality by a plan described in the
following letter. to the United States
Department of Agriculture:
while we have never made bust
ness of dealing in purebred livestock,
we have always encouraged their use.
We try TO keep a line ON well bred
young bulls in our vincinity and when
ever we buy an animal for slaughter
we use our best efforts to have him
replaced with something better. We
believe this plan will help to build
up the quality OF cattle in the neigh
aorhood. to the advantage of both
ourselves and the farmers.

We have demonsn ated also the su-

they mean more TO the farmer in dol

France to reason.
An isolated France is not regard

AS for the meeting that has been
called of the signatories of the Yer
sailles treaty to discuss Germany's
default on Preparations, America
has not been invited While it is
true that the United States in the
treaty with Berlin accepted the
reparation clauses of the Versailles
treaty, the feeling of officials is that
Americas stake in the reparation
money is so small that any settle
ment arrived at between European
governments signatory to the Yer
sailIes pact will be acceptable to
the United States The disputes
about boundaries which are aris-
ing as a result of the proposal to
sign a non-aggression treaty are
not disturbing American official
dom because the United States has
specifically refrained from accept
ing in her treaty with Germany any
of the boundary clauses of the Yer
sailles treaty. Theoretically
America may be affected by the
meeting to discuss enforcement of
the reparation clauses of the Yer
sailles treaty but actually the
United States looks to Europe to
enforce the Versailles treaty. Eu-
ropean opinion has persistently
commended that without Americas
power the treaty couldn't be en-
forced any more than the League
of Nations could be made effective
and conversely that American par
ticipation at an earlier date in the
obligations of the treaty including
the League would have prevented
the present turmoil, to all of which
the administration turns a deaf ear
and insists that the United States
shall continue to enjoy all the ad-
vantageS of the Versailles treaty
without mourning any of the obli-
cations. If world war results, the
administration will in due time
consult the wishes of American
public opinion as to the course to
be pursued
