Supervision of state warehousemen.
Q How much OF the returns from
the tobacco can the association retain
A Not TO exceed y cent per pound
may be retained and notes bearing
legal rates of interest given grower.
This money to be used for building pu
sales organization.
Q TO whom will the association
sell its tobacco? To whomever will
pay the highest price-dealers, export
ers and manufacturers. 1t is propos-
ed. however, to sell direct to exporters
and manufacturers IN so far as it is
possible.
@ What will the association do If
manufacturers refuse to deal with it?
A If that should occur, the asso-
citation would have the alternative of
doing its own manufacturing. But
the manufacturers Will not refuse to
buy from the association. Manufac-
turers need tobacco. There should be
no fear of difficulty between the asso-
citation and manufacturers.
Q Does the grower agree to deliver
certain amount of tobacco to the as
ISOLATION?
A No, only the amount that he
grows. He may stop growing tobac-
co altogether if he wishes. But if he
grows tobacco during the life of the
contract, he must deliver it to the as
ISOLATION.
@ If there is an over production,
will the association see that the crop
is "cut out ?"
A No. The association will never
instruct its members to"cut out "grow-
But the association does not intend to
glut the market with tobacco. In any
one year. it will sell only the amount
required by the manufacturers. Con-
sequently, in years of over reproduction,
there viii be 'carry over" at the end
of the selling season. Growers will
only receive the loan value of this
Garry over" Consequently, they will
be penalized for over-production the
year that it occurs. 1t is reasonable
to assume that if the planting season
finds a lot of tobacco of the previous
years crop still unsold, the growers
will use their own judgment as to how
large the crop should be that year.
Circulars will be sent out from time
to time showing the amount of tobacco
on hand, the condition of the market
and the approximate amount of tobae-
co needed for manufacturing during
the coming selling season.
@ What will happen if a grower
refuses to deliver his tobacco to the
association
A This would be expensive to the
grower. The contract provides that
in such case, the association may go
before a court and get an injunction
against the grower forbidding him to
sell any tobacco to an outsider. Then
the association can get Decree OF
Specific Performance" from the court
which decree will command the grow
er to deliver his tobacco to the asso-
citation. If the grower refused to
comply with the demand of the court
he will be put in Jail for contempt
In addition, such WEIGHING" grower
will have to pay damages to the as.
sociation equal to five cents a pound
for all tobacco sold by him before the
court order was issued.
Q What per cent will the assocla-
ton control?
A Signatures to the growers mar
ketinp agreement covering at least
rs per cent of the total production OF
tobacco must be secured by June l
1929. or all of the contracts signed w
10 that time will be automatically can
celled. This will insure an organiza-
fion big enough to be a really domin'
ant factor in the market at all times
o Will this years crop be handled
by the association
A Astrong effort will be made te
obtain the necessary rs per cent OF the
cron NV June 80, 1922. If the COM
mittee is successful the organization
will handle this years crop.
