REACHES SEVENTY
THOUSAND GROWERS

The Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association has printed 10000 copies
of the speech Of Robert w. Bingham,
the North Carolinian who has lead the
Kentucky Burley Growers Association
to success and recently addressed en-
thusiast audiences of business men
and farmers in Raleigh and Goldsboro,
North Carolina.
Judge Binghams' speech will be
mailed this week to every member of
the Association from the northern
limit of the tobacco area in Virginia
to the Georgia line in the TrI-State
Tobacco Grower, the official organ of
the 10000 organized tobacco farmers.
Any growers who may feel baffled
by the smoke screen of misleading
statements thrown out by the specula-
tive interests need only to read Judge
Binghams speech to learn of the com
plete success of the Kentucky Burley
Growers in marketing their tobacco
by cooperative sale.
Judge Bingham tells why Kentucky
growers in the Association could sell
3O,000,000 pounds of their tobacco at
one time for a higher price than the
average of the open market. He also
told why he loaned the organized
heHCucRy growers million dollars
and willingly offered the Carolina
Virginia Association an advance of
100000. Describing the tobacco of
such cooperative association as that
upon which Kentucky banks made
90 day loan of $4,6O0,O0O, as "The
safest collateral that the banks have
ever had an opportunity to lend
money on" He told how the organ
lied Kentucky growers repaid every
cent of this money in forty days.
President James G.. Stone of the
Kentucky Burlcy Growers also tells
in the April issue Of the Tri-State
Tobacco Grower how the organized
farmers of the Kentucky pool have
cut the cost of handling their tobacco
to forty cents for each hundred pounds
as against the present charges of
eighty cents for selling it at auction.

effective July 1, reduction in the
round trip rate to $500 for Rio de
Janeiro, and to meet this the Ship
ping Board has decided upon a rate
of $3.50, effective the same date.
Chairman Lasker said the new
straight rates" would become eff
fective Immediately. The Lamport
and Holt action, he added, was taken
WITHOUT consulting the Munson line
or the Shipping Board, and could
only be interpreted as "a declara-
ton Of war" in the South American
trade.
This war, he continued, may be
the forerunner of similar ones in
other ocean passenger service in an
effort to drive the American flag off
the seas. "But our hat is in the
ring" he declared, "and we will
stick as long as necessary to assure
American domination of the passen-
ger traffic on all oceans"
Asserting that Lamport and Holt
"are running British flag line,"
Chairman Laskcr said the action of
this company was out of clear
sky, although the old rates were
Subject to adjustment, and were,
we all believed, too high"
1--WE can take the action" he
added, "as nothing but an un-
friendly one intended to cripple
the American merchant marine and
it's establishment Of the first high
class service under the American
flag between North and South
America. The whole action in cut
ing the rates without conference
with us, when we admit they
should have been adjuste, where
we hav' been working 80 friendly
could only be interpreted as a dec
lnration of war in this trade"

IN REMEMBRANCE

In sad but loving remembrance of
our dear father who departed this
life December 9th, 1919. j. j. Ross.
Now that he has gone and left us,
Has gone forever from our shore,
But we hope to meet him in heaven
Where our grief will be no more,
There was an Angel hand in heaven
Not quite complete,
So God called our dear father to fill
that vacant seat.
Gone from sorrow, grief and anguish,
Gone from earth no. more to langush,
Gone thy loving soul set free
But, oh! how hard to part with thee!
In silence you suffered, in patience
you bore,
Until God called you home to suffer
no more.
A loving daughter.
Mrs. c.. B. Aycock.

Stating that many growers received
more for their first advances in this
years crop than they received from
their entire crop last year, the leader
of the Kentucky pool said that the
average price paid to the organized
growers for their tobacco would be
close to twenty-five cents pound as
compared to price around seventeen
cents pound for the unorganized
grower.
Other material Of interest reaching
the growers of three states this week
will be messages from Mr.. Oliver J..
Sands general manager of the Asso-
citation and Mr.. R. R. Patterson gen
eral manager of the Leaf Department.

SOUTH CAROLINA HAS five
NEW CHAMPION DAIRY COWS

Clemson College, April 24.-There
are five new state champions among
the various purebred animals now on
yearly advanced Registry . tests
throughout the state,-two Holsteins,
two Guernseys, and one Jersey, ac-
corling to l. R. Jones, Assistant
Dairyman, who thinks that the rapid
breaking of state milk and butter fat
records and rise in the level of lead
ership indicates that South Carolina
is fast becoming promising dairy
state.
The first record to be broken was
in the mature class among Holstein
cows. Sunnycroft Butter Girl Corona,
323616, owned by H. D. Jordan, Ridge
Spring, assumed leadership in this
class with production of 213O5.7
pounds of milk and 776,843 pounds of
butter fat. She began her test Jan
uary 8, 1921, at S years, 10 months
and I'd days. The former record in
this class was also held by one of
Mr. Jordan's cows, Princess Collie
Paul End, 21026, with 21O23.7 pounds
of milk and 71O.G8 pounds of butter
fat
The other Holstcin to break re-
cord was Butter Girl May johanna,

UNIVERSITY GODFATHERS

The greatest problem Of most uniyer-
sites has been a lack Of funds to carry
on the great service which they perform
for the commonwealth. Despite this han
Gicap, the universities Of America have
been more than efficient in moulding men
and women who are taking leading places
in the affairs Of the world.
American universities have grown rap.
idly in recent years. The engineering
schools Of this country are among the
be4t in the world. Each year thousands
Of young men are turned from them well
equipped in their profession, and are
scattered over the world, engaged in
great commerce-building, and civilization.
bringing projects. They are accomplish
ing feats that surpass even the dream
ers' theories Of century ago.
American scientists, many Of whom
have been trained and encouraged By
the universities Of the country, hsJe
greatly advanced the knowledge Of the
world, and have promulgated theories
that have been utilized by American in
ventors to promote the comfort and hap,
piness Of the worlds people.
These are only two examples Of very
practical work that is done by univer-
sites in America. How really important
the university has become is evinced by
the fact that 50 many young men and
women crowd to them each year. And
each year thousands are turned away be-
cause Of lack Of buildings and lack Of
money to hire able professors. Many Of
the universities are badly crowded.
California, seeking to solve the prob

has been no way in which the moderately
wealthy man could mike a contribution
to a university. Usually ii has been the
ultra-wealthy who are able to make large
cndoYments that have given money to
schools.
Now men who believe in broader educa.
lion have chance TO show their belief
with money that will make broader edu.

for other universities to follow the lead

SAFER ROAD TO PEACE

Another significant experiment IN inter
natiensl cooperation is seen in the estab-
li.hpent by the International Chamber
Of Commerce Of Couu Of Arbitration
for the settlement Of commercial disputes
between citizens Of different countries.
Plans for the formation Of the court
lave been perfected and at the present
time twenty-seven countries, including
the United States, have chosen groups
o. business men as their representative.
The court is nonpoliiical, its main
,urpose being 10 settle commercial dis
puie. outside Of court. Owing to dI-
fc.rncr y languages, laws. customs and
methods Of communication, legal settle
men, Of such disputes is difficult and
cfien unpsi The new plan will do
aray with all legal proceedings. Cases
will be referred to the court, which cor
responds in organization to the court Of
the League Of Nations. IT
Such an international organirafisn
should go a long way in promoting inter
rational friendship and peace. History
shows that many wars have arisen out Of
trade disputes. Russian economic pen
oiraiion into Mongolia and Manchuria
brough, en- the Russo-Japanese War and
the desire Of Germany for the trade Of
the world was a vital factor in efecting
the clash Of most Of the leading nations

If such a commercial court can ami
