The Cooperative
Movement
Senator Christensen Urges
t Farmers to Stand Solidy
Behind Movement

Florence. Aug. 20.-Good prices
for tobacco and the atmosphere of
confidence and relief make this
section Of the state a pleasant one
to visit. according to the view OF
Senator Neils Christensen Of Beau
fort. He is here today to meet
the directors OF the Florence
Chamber OF Commerce and discuss
certain activities of the South Caro-
lima Development Board, of which
he is president.
Mr.. Christensen reports that
there is no tobacco in his end of
the state as they are taken up with
truck. But he is intensely interest
ed in the cooperative movement.
ASKED for an interview. he offered
the following suggestion:
Good prices for truck down our
way has been greatly helped for
over six years by our Truck Grow
ers' Association. They are not all
; in it: but ali benefit by it and rec
ognize that fact. So. two years ago
when the Clemson College ESten-
sion Service. through DR.. w, w.
Long. showed me proposed CO.
operative marketing act, it at once
enlisted my support. The Develop
ment Board put itself behind the
effort. and we got the biH enacted
into law in 1920. Since then
several cooperative organizations
have been formed, but the Tobacco
Growers are the first TO market un-
der its provision.
It is OF the greatest importance
, to the whole cooperative move
nent in the south that their tobac-
co association makes a clean cut
success.
Loyalty to this farmers organiza-
ton is needed. Loyalty, active
loyalty. by every man, woman and
child who has any interest in crop
prices: by bankers. merchants and
professional men as well as farm
ers.
Organized buyers under the old
system are bound TO fight you.
Certain truck commission houses
have fought our farmers truck as
sociation. They have done it per-
sisJently and without quarter. ] am
told that certain tobacco manu-
faeturers are doing that here. II
