family were well dressed They had
bank accounts and automobiles. Judge
Robert Bingham, publisher of the Lou
isville CourierJournal, took a trip to
California in 1921. He saw for him
self what cooperative marketing was
doing for the West. Judge Bingham
asked Aaron Sapiro, the cooperative
lawyer, to meet with a group of hurley
tobacco growers to outline a co-opera-
tive marketing plan like the one used
in California.
Under the system by which Jeff
Clay and his neighbors sold their
crops the grower knew scarcely any
thing about the grading of tobacco
They seldom knew the grade of their
own stuff. The new plan which Aaron
Sapiro brought to Kentucky was en-
tirely different. 1t proposed doing
away with the old auction system. 1t
was a plan to get the hurley growers
to sign contract to turn their tobacco
crop, every leaf of it, over to the co,
operative association for six years.
When IS per cent of the growers had
signed the contract would become eff
fective.
Later the South staged the first big
drive for members. In a little over a
month 55,700 tobacco growers, pro
ducers of rs per cent of the 1920 crop
had signed contract
A board of directors was elected and
James C. Stone of Lexington was
made president and general manager.
Then the tobacco board got busy. Ken
lucky had no cooperative marketing
law. TO save time they incorporated
under the cooperative marketing law
of North Carolina. But they didn't
have any trouble getting a marketing
law passed in Kentucky, once the leg
islature met.
Providing Warehouses.
The WarehOusing question wasn't so
simple. There had to be warehouses
to receive the tobacco, but there was
no money or time with which to build
them before the crop would be ready
to move. Aaron Sapiro had thought
about that. He had provided a plan
which allowed for subsidiary corpO-
ration to be formed for the purpose
Of buying warehouses to be paid for
over period of six years, the pay
ments being deducted from the pro
ceeds Of the growers tobacco. At the
end of six years the warehouses would
belong to the cooperative growers.
Each grower would own a share based
on the amount of his deliveries. This
plan was proposed to III warehouse
men. Immediately the association
took possession of more than $600O,000
worth of property without paying a
cent in cash.
Where to get the money for the
first advance payment-that was the
biggest problem. After the first pay
ment had been met it would be easy.
The cost of doing business would be
Arizona state miner., 1926-03-13

deducted from the proceeds of the
growers. 1t was at this particular
time that the banks offered their as
sistance Louisville and Cincinnati
bankers offered to loan $1,SO0,000 in
spite of the fact that one of the lead
ing banks of the South gave out the
opinion that the whole cooperative
movement was illegal. Judge Bing-
ham offered a million dollars of his
personal fortune The country bank
ers. too, hundreds of them, loaned
their limit Altogether they sub
scribed $5,400000
A group of expert buyers worked
out a system Of grading. The system
hit upon is declared to be the best one
ever devised. The tobacco was grad
ed at the local warehouse where the
grower received a receipt which stated
what he had delivered together with
draft upon the association of so many
cents per pound for the grade. The
local banker paid full value for this
draft.
After the tobacco was re-dried and
stored in the Lexington warehouse
President Stone wired all the buyers
to come and give their orders And
he sent them samples of all the 50
grades For the first time in history
the buyer asked-"What are the
prices?"
Within 40 days all the loans for the
first advance payment had been paid
off and a second payment had been
made to growers based on sales. The
average price received was 211A cents
per pound net after all overhead
charges had been deducted. The aver
age price received by growers outside
of the association was almost two
cents less The average operating
cost during 1921 and 1922 was three
fourths of cent per pound.
Many New Members.
Since the first sign-up more than
$1,000 growers have joined their neigh
bors for cooperative marketing in the
hurley district alone. The association
functioned in full blast with the 1921
crop, handling 12OO0O,OOO pounds Of
5,O00OO0-pOund crop. Other tobacco
farmers IN Otner TOBACCO states nave
taken up the work Their membership
adds three-quarters of million more
to the cooperative ranks. In the
Virginias and the Carolinas $1,000
bright-tobacco growers have organ
lied the Tobacco Growers Co-opera-
tive association, handling 6666 per
cent of the total crop. The 10000
members of the Dark Tobacco Grow
ers' Cooperative association control rs
per cent of the total crop. In the
eastern states is the Connecticut Val
ley Tobacco association. which has
over $500 members producing "a per
cent of the cigar wrapper tobacco
grown in Connecticut and Massachu-
setts. In Wisconsin 78 per cent of the
states crop is controlled by the mem
bers of the cooperative tobacco pool.

Tobacco Crops.

NTT AMT such a bad crop. Ought
= to bring round $780," jeff Clay
mused as he loaded his four-acre crop
of hurley tobacco in the square, fiat
baskets, piling them high on his great
wagon.
His heart was full of dreams of a
fat wallet and a paid-up grocery bill
as he waved good-by to the four little
curly heads lined up on the doorstep
of his one-roomed shanty.
eyes, sub, I'll buy them kids some
shoes" The big wagon zigzagged across
the country toward the great ware
house in Lexington. "And maybe, jest
maybe, I kin get the little woman a
dress-a silk Dress"
Two hours later Jeff stood anxious
eyed in the long, brightly lighted ware
house where thousands of baskets of
tobacco were lined in rows waiting the
auction block
The auctioneer was chanting the
bids. 1t was Jeff's crop. His whole
years work was at stake-in a few
minutes it would be sold, sold to the
highest bidder. He could hear the
monotone of the auctioneer's deep bass
voice. He could see a blurred mass
of sharpfeatured buyers. The auction
eer's voice pounded in his ears with
dull, insistent mOnotony.
Fourteen n a quarter, a quarter,
a quarter, fourteen n a half, half
soldt"
Jeff's knees trembled. Surely there
must be mistake, But he had heard
it With his own ears. He turned heart
sick. His whole crop had brought less
than $500. He couldn't take anything
home to the little family He couldn't
even pay his debts-but he had to sell
1t never did any good to hold off.
That was in 1920.

Hate, which clenches the fist of

of the snake and the sac of coloring
matter which darkens. the water as
the sac of musk befouls and poisons

face sensations in fury or terror which
lead us to speak of "bristling with
rage" or of the hair standing on end
with terror.
Among the animals we may see the
phenomenon taking place, and this
rising of the hair is again only the
result of our old friend muscular
compression. How strong that action
must be we may judge from the be-
havior of the 'fretful porcupine," for

stay in the tobacco-raising business.
Indeed, there was nothing else he
could do.
In 1921 however, just one year later,
Jeff received an average price of 211b
cents a pound for his entire crop. And
the price wasn't a bit Of sheer luck
this time He was a member of the
Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative
association. In Kentucky the auction
block was gone. A new system of TO-
baccO marketing had made it's way
into the Southland-a system that was
stahilizing the whole industry. Jeff
was just one of the $4,000 tobacco
farmers who had made a fair profit by
joining the big cooperative
In 1920 tobacco growers all over
the United States raised a bumper
crop of the golden weed 1918 and
1919 had been splendid seasons their
crops had brought enormous prices for
the first time in years; the war was
on. Up until this time tobacco raising
in the South was q pOOr-paying prOpo-
sitiOn for anyone except the big plant
ers who owned from 75 to ! 900 acres.
The small landowner and the tenant
seldom made more than enough to buy
their pork and corn meal. Then came
those two amazing seasons when even
the tenant farmer had money to spend
After he'd spent it he borrowed all he
could scrape together, even mortgag-
ing his future crop to plant plenty Of
acres for 1920
The acreage was the largest in years
the crop the heaviest. Tobacco farm
ers felt sure of a good return, although
they had no control over the market :;
as always it was in the hands of the
buyers
Suddenly, almost overnight, tobacco
became a drug on the market. Buyers
wouldn't take it for the giving. The
warehouses opened for sales, closed,
opened and then closed again. The
tobacco that was sold went for less
than it cost to produce it. For the
first time the tobacco farmer began
production end of farming.
Try Cooperation.
The cooperative movement was the
result. One year later there were five
great cooperative marketing organi-
cations in the United States, each
growing a particular type OF tobacco,
and composed Of 100000 tobacco farm
ers, selling two-thirds Of the entire
American tobacco crop.
When the price slump came in 1920
tobacco farmers were on the verge
of ruin. Everywhere there was bitter
ness. Cooperative marketing was pro-
posed as a way out. But the hurley
tobacco growers Of Kentucky had tried
a sort of cooperation back in 1906
and 1905 It had resulted in those
ver-to-be-forgotten night rides They
knew that it was useless to cooperate
TO control production: that's what they
had tried before To control the mar
keting of their crop was an untried
field. They hesitated.
Then they got the story of the sue
cess of cooperation in California
California farmers were prosperous
and contented. The farmer and his

ten years had been somewhere around

AN IMPORTANT CONCESSION

A distinct and valuable concession
was obtained from the secretary of
the interior by the senate committee
on public lands in the conference re-
Gently over the proposed bill regulat-
ing grazing on the public domain and
providing for the establishment of
grazing districts. 1t lay in the agree
ment of Secretary Work to approve
a provision in the bill giving local
stockmen representation on the graz
ing boards of the various western
states ad voice in their admnistra-
ton
1t is bringing something of region
al representation and home rule to
the stockmen who use the public do
main of the west. That is a valuable
precedent to establish and highly de-
Sirable concession to obtain, in view
of the past policy of the Washington
bureaus which administer a consid-
cradle part Of the area of the west
ern states. The practice of the fed
eral departments in recent years has
become more and more like that OF
an absentee landlord and less and
less sympathetic with those residents
of wester states who are dependent
upon the use Of the lands for their
livelihood. An amelioration in that
official attitude is imnOrtaut IN tbo
west
The latest development to which
we have referred is a sequence OF
the extensive hearings held in this
state last summer by Senators Ash
urst and Cameron, acting as an in
Vestigating subcommittee of the SEN
ate committee on public lands and
surveys,
