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', 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. o rtRI) OF THANKS To the Franklin Times, Louisburg, N.
