WISCONSIN TOBACCO
 GROWERS MARKETS.
PerIectine Details for New Co.,
 Operative Pool

Madison. Wis, July es (By the Associated press) Tobacco growers of Wisconsin are perfceting the de- tails Of their cooperative marketing pool recently organized 10 handle the
 warehousing and sale Of the 60,0o0,- 900 pounds of tobacco that the farm CTS expect will be grown in the state this year,
 Nearly S5 per cent of Wisconsin's
 40,o00 acre tobacco crop was con tracted for by the pool in its mem hcrship drive just completed Or ganizers Of the cooperative marketing association, the largest ever under taken in the state, are now confront ed with the problem of financing the project which will require initial funds of s5,ooo.o0o according to estimate of the state department of markets.
 With financial aid virtually assured by Wisconsin banks, the organization is getting under way Warehouses are to be purchased in the growing centers of the state, sales manager engaged by the board of directors, and a complete marketing system per fected before the crop Is cured and ready for the tobacco market late this fall
 Wisconsin's product makes up large part Of the wrapper tobacco for cigars. Nearly all of the 6O,oo0,0 pounds produced annually goes for this purpose, and commands high price on the markets of the country. Two principal growing sections of the state are in the Northwest counties and the southern counties.
 The success of the tobacco pool, which was organized under direction of the state department of markets means the operation during the pres ent year of this states largest CO., operative enterprise. The value of its product is expected to total more than that handled by the Wisconsin Cheese producers federation, one of the successful cooperative undertak ings engaged in by Wisconsin farm CTS.
 Through the department of mar kets, created by the 191 session of the Wisconsin legislature, farmers coop erative enterprises are being fostered generally in the state. Several hun dred co-oprativ shipping association and local markting associations have grown up in recent years. which are now receiving counsel and aid from the state department.
 The state cooperative association law was completely remodelled by the | last session of the legislature to pro- vide for the growth and supervision of farmers marketing enterprises. IL is under this law that the tobacco growers have formed their organiza- ton.
