5000 farmers gathered here today
for final big rally before the
cooperative warehouses opening
in this belt. Introduced by John

thority on cooperative marketing
in the United States Mr.. Sapiro
reviewed the work of the associa-

had accomplished what the oppon-
EMS OF the association had dcclar-

OF finance, warehousing, grading
and selling tobacco all within the
last year. and said. "Our associa-
ton has already made good and
now has the best experts in the
tobacco trade working for the

laughs and at the end WAS given
an ovation with the whole hause on
its feet, cheering. He promised
the growers that the association
was going after some Of the big
men vho are among the few who
have broken their. contracts With
the association. He challenged any
auction system man who did not
believe the association would en-
force It's contracts to come or ard
sign up his tobacco. He even Of
fered to pay such a mans entrance
fee, and promised that he would
personally come down to Danvilie
and show him up in court. He
said 80 suits against contract Sio-
lators and persons who are spread
ing malicious propaganda against
the association are now in preparl-
ton and promised that the ifs. 6
these legal actions would begin next
week in the states Of North Caro-
lind and South Carolina.
Referring to questions raised by
merchants and others concerning
advance payments, he declared that
these had nothing to do whatever
with the sales price of the assocla-
ton tobacco. but are fixing a con-
servative loan value to protect the
growers against price manipulation
which might make it. necessary for
the association to put up additional
collateral with the banks. Teliin:;
how the association had already
made many large sales Of tobacco.
he said that in South Carolina some
grades had sold for four times
the advance payments.
He asked the members OF the
association why the auction crowd
was fighting them if they thought
the association would not work.
He said the reason they were fight
ing the growers was because the
SPECTATORS and pinhookers knew
it was working and that their
day is done Mr.. Sapiro predicted
that after this year there will be
practically no auction system in
Virginia.
He will speak Saturday at South
Hill, Va, where it is expected
that even more growers than ct
tended the meeting here Will turn
out to hear him.
