HALF A MILLION
PAID TO CO-OPS
New Contracts Pour Into As
sociation; Likely to- Receive
Majority S. C. Weed.
More than ahalf a million dollars
were paid out this week to members
o: the Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association from their warehouses
in the Dark Fired Relt of Virginia on
tobacco delivered since February 17.
This payment will be followed by furth
er cash distribution to members of the
cooperative association fn t\ree states
as soon as sufficient safes nf tobacco
by the Leaf Department of ihe asso
ciation warrant third pavments to
the members of North Carolina and
Virginia, and a fourth payment in
South Carolina
The receipt of D1 contracts in one
('.IV this week from new members In
South Carolina marks the '.ncreasir.g
sign-up of tobacco with the coopera
tive association in the southern efifi
of the belt The South Carolina grow
ers now appear certain to follow the
example of Virginia growers in li>22
In marketing a majority of their to
bacco through the cooperaiive asso
ciation during the coming season.
That there will be a crop sho'rtage
of bright tobacco in Virginia of at
least 30 percent, or well over 30,
C0C.000 pounds, as compared to last
year, now seems inevitable. Similar
losses have been suffered^ by the farm
ers of the Old Belt of North Carolina,
and it is generally agreed that the
bright tobacco crop of the Old Bolt
will be 50,000.Ck'0 pounds lesj than
In 1922, even with the irost favorable
conditions hereafter.
More than &00 crop reports from
local units of the Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association have nov
reached Raleigh headquarters. Accord
ir.t5 to reports from the county secre
taries of the tobacco cooperative in
1 22 out of 2S tobacco growing c.rar.
i ties in Virginia there was a pros
I pectlve shortage of at least 21 pet
cent in the bright tobacco production
of that state: up to June 1, It is esti
mated that since that tlnv the con
tinned 'ry weathti and thi: loss of
plants have increased the shortage
of the next crop in Virginia alone
at the rate of 1 per cent a day, up
to June 11.
The prospects lor eaitein North
Carolina, thoueh far more favorable
than in the Old Belt, have been Im
paired by the lack of rain and tile
unprecedented migration of negro la
ter. South Carolina reports the most
favorable crop conditions for many
years at this season', <nu there as ir.
the Easern Belt, the loss of ncgrc
labor is seriously handicapping the
tobacco farmers.
j President State Fair Returns
Raleigh. June 10. ? Mrs. Edith Vnn
derbllt is back trom the Orient with
many new ideas about making the
next Stite Fair bigger and bettor than
ever before. She is now at her home
at Biltmore, and will give largely of
her time during the summer to work
ing out these ideas In tangible form.
Like other North Carolinians. Mrs.
Vanderbilt ts proud of the State, and
jshe wants to make the State Fair rep
resentative of a great State. Of
course, she expects to have agricul
tural exhibite in keeping with the
f-plcndid work that is being done in
farming, but she wants to do more.
Sho wants all the various industries
of the State represented also.
For Instance, there are the fu-nl
ture factories at High Point that are
second to none in the South and that
rank with the best in other sections
of the world. She wants to have this
Industry adequately represented at
the fair.
Then there Is the textile Industry.
Here North Carolina leadB the South.
Some of the best exhibits at the Inst
State Fair were those shown by cot
ton mills. She wants fo have more
of these exhibits this year.
Mrs. Vanderbtlt doesn't expect to
stop with exhibits of agricultural uud
Industrial progress. She wants to
show what the schools and newspa
pers are doing, for she believes that
intelligence must be the basis for all
substantial progress In ary line of
endeavor.
Wholesome entortanmont Is one of
Mrs. Vanderbllt's hobbles. She Is ar
ranging to have many interesting
features In. the w,ny of first cl:iss
amusement at the'State Fair this year.
Careful Btudy ls> being given to Ibis
Important feature of tno fair.
With the Ideas and Impressions vain
ed from her trip abroad, Mrs. Vander
bilt believes that Blie will be abl",
with the aid of the other officials of
the fair, who have also been busy
collecting data, to work out a pro
gram for next s?ason that will Insure
a fair that will be worthy cf a great
State.
