Cooperative Association,

Hopkinsville, KY, July 1st.-
The first big concerted drive for
members to the Dark Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Associa
ton will be made July Goth. or a
little later. This was decided
by the district organization com
mittee atits meeting at Hender
son on June oath, and in pursu-
ance of it, Joseph Passonneay,
organization director. is already
making his plans to that end.
Sixteen counties, with possibly
five others, will participate in
this drive and all on the same
day. The definite date is yet to
be selected by Mr.. Passoneau.
and this will depend somewhat
on the conditions existing in the
counties selected for the work.
but it will be the latter part OF
July and somewhere near the
twentieth.
The counties selected, and the
organization chairmen for each
are as follows:
Tennessee counties Robert

Logan, |. C. Grubbs. chairman
Christian, T. C Jones, chairman
Todd, Frank Camp, chairman

man; Hancock. chairman to be
named; simpson, DR.. j. R. Clay
pool, chairman; Marshall, Boone
Hill, chairman; McCracken,
Chester E, Jett, chairman.
In several of these counties
more or less work in the way of
securing pledges has already
been done and work is proceeding
steadily. The big drive will not
interfere with this in any respect,
but will really serve as a stimu-
lus. Then oD the day for the
concerted effort a whirlwind cam
paign will be put on in all the
counties selected, in the effort to
sign up a large acreage, and to
finish up in those counties which
have already begun the work.
Todd county has fully 80 per cent
signed already; Christian has
8,644 acres, and Montgomery
county has 5000 acres. Severa'
other counties have substantial
amounts already signed.
