THOUSANDS JOIN WITH CO-OP SUCCESS I Majority Virginia Crop To Pool, Rifty Years Tobaoco Averaged Less Than Ten Cents Net to Grower. Hundreds of tobacco farmers Join ing the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association month by month have brought its total membership in the Carolinas and Virginia to well over 88.000 according to this week's count of contracts, now "on file at the asso ciation's Raleigh headquarters. Tobacco growers are now Joining the big cooperative at the rate of more than a hundred a week, over fifty from Surry County alone, having signed the five year contract last week. Richard R. Patterson this week called attention of the 88.000 members of the association whose leaf sales he directs, to the fact that the pre sent crop of Virginia- Carolina bright tobacco alone will be approximately ? 5,000.000 pound; larger than that of last year. According to the Tri Stat1* Tobacco Grower in which Director Patterson's article appears, the mar keting association has already re ceived a large majority of the dark fired Virginia tobacco crop, and is expected to market a mojority of both the bright and dark tobaccos of the present Virginia crop. Associations receipts In the dark | fired area will be about 27,000,000 I pounds and the auction sales about I il, 000,000 round a in the dark fired area according to recent estimates. The association according to its officials has sold about To per cent of its dark tobaccos in green order, advancing cash payments which alreafly far ex ceed the prices paid the growers in average years. Between the Civil War a period of fifty years Virginia tobaccos averaged $8.22 per hundred and North Carolinas tobaccos brought an average of only $10.30 according to figures recently compiled from government reports and published in part by the official house organ of the market ing association which this week reaches close to 90.000 farmers, out of these small averages tobacco farm ers have paid the warehouse and sell ing costs, which make the price to them less than ten cents. Orderly marketing of a larger to bacco crop this year has .unquestion ably brought higher prices in spite of the fact that the tThited States to bacco exports in 1922 were 83,445.000 pounds less than in 1921 and combined retail prices for the whole United Sta tes dropped 6 per cent r.cccrding to government reports. Organized tobacco farmers from 127 counties will hold mass meetings in three states, Saturday, April 7th to i nominate delegates to represent the ! entire membership of the association | in the election of directors for another ] year.
