Prlaml) Convictions were secured against six auction warehousemen of South Boston last Monday and fines ware imposed in every case for violation of the recent statue in Vlrgftafta. which requires that alt tobaoeo Nil on the open floor, as well as the co operative warehouses, shall be aold in the true name of the owner and makes It a misdemeanor for any me conducting a w?*house to tail- to tag such tobacco with the name of the owner and the number of pounds sold. One of the convictions obtained this week at South Boston was for refusal of an auction warehouseman to permit representatives of the co operative association to Inspect the tickets on the tobacco in his ware house. It Is expected that prosecutions will be Instituted at otier points Im mediately, and In view of last Man day's decisions It is believed that auc tion warehousemen in 'Virginia will comply more strictly with the recemt law. All of the warehousemen of South Boston who were convicted and toed last Monday under the Virginia statue, have appealed to the circuit ccurt of Halifax County. L. G. Patterson, warehouseman of Smlthfleld. N. C., also felt the weight of the law this week when adjudged in contempt of court by Judge Thcs. H. Calvert, of Wake County Superior Court, at Raleigh, for aiding A. L. Faulkner to sell tobacco in violation of a court order.

In spite of the lateness of the Old Belt crop, tobacco, fanners have delivered more than six and a half million pounds within less than ten days of operation by the cooperative warehouses. The as sociation has made a striking gain jn the South Carolina Belt, where it has received thirty-two and a half million pounds to date, as compared to slightly more than twenty million pounds for the entire season of 1922. Eastern Carolina growers are lncreas ing their deliveries to the association and will bring half again as much tobacco as last year, if the present rate of deliveries to association hous es continues. . *.
