MD. TOBACCO COOP
GRANTED 100000 LOAN
THIS is FIRST FEDERAL AID
EXTENDED TO ANY
AGENCY OF STATE

baltimore Sun, March 8, 1901
The Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association, with headquarters at
Baltimore, has been granted a sup
Elementary commodity loan not to
exceed 100000, the Federal Farm
Board announced to-day. This is the
first loan to be advanced by the
Board to any Maryland organiza-
ton.
1t was explained that the Federal
funds to be advanced to the Mary
land organization would become
available as soon as the association
complies with the regulations of the
board.
VIII Make Advances Possible
In announcing the loan, the board
explained that "this loan will enable
the association to make advances on
additional member-produced tobacco
that are not practicable under its
present credit facilities"
The Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association is composed mainly of
growers in Anne Arundel, Charles,
Calvert, st. Mary's and Prince
Georges and a small number of
members in Frederick and Montgom-
cry counties. 1t was formed in 1919
and handles approximately forty per
cent. of the production in Maryland.
Also Buys Fertilizer
In addition to handling sales of
the Maryland growers, the associa-
ton is one of the largest purchasers
of foy4;1;1arc and nthar- comm M itine
used by its farmer members.
1t was pointed out that the asso-
citation, since its organization, has
through its banking relations been
operating ON limited funds, and the
loan to be advanced by the Farm
Board will enable it to increase its
activities and possibly enable it to
operate on a closer margin.
Thomas Parran is president Of the
association; George l. Gardiner, vice
president and sales manager, and j.
C. Brown, manager.
