Good prices for tobacco will
prevail this year IN eastern
North Carolina, according to the
first cash advances paid by the
Tobacco Growers Cooperative
association to it's members last
Tuesday, when its warehouses
opened at more than thirty
towns.
The members of the associa-
ton at every point were highly
pleased with its first advances,
which ran as high as $40 per
hundred at several of the CO.
operative markets, where very
little except first primings We're
brought in by the organized
farmers. The association has in
creased its advances very largely
on every grade, and there is n
decided feeling of security
among the tobacco coops, which
is unusual in the face of such
bumper crop as they are har-
vesting this year.
A. V. Bobbitt, association
warehouse manager for eastern
North Carolina, in commenting
on the opening of the co-opera-

crowds at many receiving points
