TOBACCO COOPS
TO GET BACK PAY
Payment on the 1922 Crop Will be
Made in North Carolina and Va.
That a third payment would be made to member* of the
Co-operative Aaaofiattan and that more waa still coming from
the 1922 crop «u to-day confirmed by Manager Dobeon of the
local branch. It la probable that the distribution will be made
daring the holiday* just after Chriatmaa, aa It would require
extra clerical force at the different Co-op warehouaes to handle
paymenla at this time. That membera of (fee Mount Airy branch
' will ahare in the coming payment la made certain by the follow
ing letter wMch waa receivfd from Richmond headquarter* a
few daya ago by the manager:
, "You have probably aeen in to-day'a paper that the As
sociation ie preparing to make a third payment to the membera
of the old Belts of Virginia and North Carolina, on their 1922
crop," read* the letter. "This will not be all the grower mem
ber will get for his 1922 crop, for we. will wind this crop up
with a fourth payment. We are going to make this (the 3rd)
payment just as soon aa we can get the nee unary clerical work
done in thia office, and we are going to do everything in our
power to get it done quickly, for we realize the members need
their money."
