Tobacco Crop is Good.

Glover section but who for the past
few years has been living at Chase
City, Va, where he is devoting his at
tention largely to the cultivation of
tobacco, writes friend here that the,
tobacco crop is fine in his section this
year and the crop is bringing good
prices. About 40 per cent. of the
farmers around here" Mr.. Robinson
goes on to say, "have signed the Co
operative Marketing Associated con-
tract. This is stirring up great deal
of friction among the merchants and
bankers and some Of the farmers don't
seem so anxious to pool their tobacco
now as they did when they were plant
ing it. We see O let of barns with at
tachment cards tackled on them"
