THEY Wanted "IN?"
WE OPENED THE BOOK; .
Over 900 "Signed Up"
KISAFP01NTF.lt at the prices they received on the auetlofci floors when-the markets in South Carolina
opened, hundreds ot non-members of the Tobacco Growers Association applied' to warehouse managers for
the privilege of signing a) contract to deliver the 1925 and 1926 crops.
The'board 'of directors, acting upon the! de3ire of loyal members, closed the books on. July 15 last. More
than seven hundred members had voluntarily Joined the pool in the six months before while the books were
open. y , ?
Association officials., backed by the expressed sent! nent of members in the South Carolina belt declined
to reopen the books at first. Ample publicity had been given to the closing date, ipnd it wad felt that it
would not be quite fair to loyal members to permit a last-minute sign up.
Non-members appealed to members when they compared their returns with the Association's first ad
vance In the South Carolina belt. Tenants began to deliver their tobacco under the contract with land
lords. Some landlords actually tried to deliver under tenant's contract, and others "boot-legged" tobacco
which had not been signed up into Association warehouses.
Officials of the Association recognized a critical situation. The attitude of fhe members softened. They
expressed themselves as anxious to share the benefits of orderly marketing with their neighbors who had
remained out of the pool.
\ . .
To this appeal the officials answered by opening the books for fofur day9. There vas no publicity given
to the opening. There was no intensive drive to get new contracts. The attitude of the Association was
that it would make it possible for those who were wanting "in" to come IN.
OVER NINE HUNDRED growers in the South Carolina belt have Joined the Association SINCE THE
AUCTION FLOORS OPENED.
When the books were opened, the indepehdent buyers briefly boosted prices. The boost didn't last.
Prices dropped back where the Association advance made a favorable comparison.
