Cooperative marketing rides to the
close of 1922 on the flood tide of suc

I Nation-wide recognition of the ben
efits of cooperative associations which
I include a half _a- million farmers was
ivgiced last wee# tn tne Washington

this conference the most important
move in "American history for the ben

as soon thereafter as checks can be
:made out and distributea.
A third rash payment to the organ
ized growers of South Carolina will
be distributed after Association mem
bers in Virginia and Western North
Carolina have doubled tneir money on
all deliveries for 1922.
With larger crops rais year ' than
last, tobacco farmers in three states
have Received more for their tobacco
than in 1921. In North Carolina and
Virginia November sales* have shown
a gain of three dollars per hundred,
while the South Carolina growers
have practically doubled last year's
prices.
With the orderly marketing of both
tobacco and cotton by thousands of
farmers through their cooperative as
sociations in the Carolinas and Vir
ginia. the tide of prosperity Is rising
as the growers adopt and use the me
thods of big business to successfully
sell their products.
