Reports Reflect
Great Interest
In Recreation
Bank Balances
Near Zero, But
Activities High

Committee reports we're given
at the annual meeting of the
Farmville Memorial Recreation
Association Wednesday evening,
that reflect a tremendous growth
of recreation activities in the
Farmville area.
Each of the committees report
ed a bank balance of almost zero.
but the list of activities and cap
ital improvements borders on the
unbelievable. One of the major
Improvements reported by the As
ISOLATION was the construction of
curbs and cutters along the prop
erty. This was accomplished on
borrowed money. but represents
a much needed improvement and
continued interest in the recrea-
ton area.
o. w. Harper, chairman of the
swimming pool committee, re-
ported a net profit on this activity
of about $500 for the year. "Wea-
Their was not conducive to swim
ming during the first part of the
summer" he said." and gate re-
ceipts were off from the previous
year." he reported.
Several items of repair were
costly at the pool. The coping
stone had to be reset, a new
roof was put on the bath house.
and many minor repairs made.
Harper pointed out that the rates
we're Intentionally kept as low as
possible to afford as many peo-
pie as possible the opportunity to
swim. Several needed improve
mentS were mentioned that will
have to be done during the COM
ing year.

headed the swimming instruction
program, reported Al beginners,

Tobacco Pool Stocks Cut
Over Two Million Pounds
Sales Agency
Has Best Year
In History

A total of 1850 hogsheads Of
Virginia dark-fired tobacco from
Commodity Credit Corporation
pool holdings was sold for 1909
932 the past year through DOM
este trade channels by the Dark
Tobacco Sales Cooperative with
headquarters here.
The redried weight of the pack
ed tobaccos was 2.084.735 pounds.
The leaf came from accumulated
government pool holdings going
back to the 1854 crop.
These figures were disclosed
in the annual report of Thomas
B. Hall, Cooperative president,
just presented to the member
ship. Hall said the figures re-
fleet situation which the Co.
operate management could re-
port with pleasure
Best Sales Year
E. P. Lancaster, manager and
secretary-treasurer of the sales
organization, said that total
sales for the past IL months ex-
ceeded those Of any previous
year.
The Cooperative was organized
in 1858 to manage the loan and
sales program for Commodity
Credit Corporation as it pertains
to Virginia Type q dark-fired
and Type 81 sun-cured tobaccos.
It is charged with satisfying
government regulations COM
bined with serving the best in
terest of tobacco farmer mem
berS.
Sales consisted of $50 hogs
heads from the 1854 crop. old
est one with unsold leaf remain
ing; 546 hogsheads from the 1855
crop, and 474 hogsheads from
the latest crops, 1856 to 1860.
Pool Situation
Sales were mainly from low
and medium grades consisting
of snuff and cutting tobaccos,
the report indicated.
The past years sales leave the
1854 crop holdings now at IS hogs
heads and reduce the 1855 crop
unSOld accumulation to 26 hogs
heads.
The best operating year on
record leaves carry-over leaf
in government stocks at the low
est and most favorable point
since 1852, according to the Co
operative manager. Unsold pool
ed tobacco has in the past led
to reduced farm allotments and
has a depressing effect on mar
keting.
Pool Take Falls
From the 1860 crop of Virginia
dark-fired tobacco. which total
ed 9,402,642 pounds, the Com
modify Credit Corporation took
under loan 1877 ,426 pounds at
$160,86 That represented 3.59
percent of the total crop, COM
pared with 70 percent taken
from the 1859 crop, the report
showed.
On the Richmond sun-cured
market. which also is in the Co
operatives loan program 1907
010 pounds were sold. and 1926
pounds went into the Commod-
ity Credit pool. That was 81
percent of the 1860 crop.
All Of the Richmond pool to-
bacco has since been resold by
the Cooperative.
