in each case, that practically every

Collar Bone of Little Boy
On Tuesday afternoon about four
o'clock while out driving on the Nash
ville road about a mile and a hall
e*st of town. Capt. R. D. Phillips lost
control of his Ford Sedan and ran off
an embankment doing much damage
to the car breaking the collar bone
of little Vernon Camp, and a few bruis
ea to Edward Eilaon. In the car be
al<1eawthe driver and the two little
boys mentioned were Mrs. Phillips and
lltti? son, niyoti, Mrs. J. O. Camp

Comp. who received the broken col

HISTORY REPEATS
ITSELF IN CO-OPS
Carolina- Virginia Farmers In
crease Success Yearly Like
Canadians
(S. D. Frizzell)
The Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association has sold all but 28 mil
lion pounds of the 163 million pounds
of tobacco delivered by Its members
last season, according to the recent
announcement of Richard R. Patter
eon, Leaf Manager for the coopera
tive association.
Several million pounds were sold
by the association during July and
prospecM for farther sales of the as
sociation's redrled tobacco? are ex
cellent according to Manager Patter
son.
Deliveries to the cooperative ware
houses In South Carolina are increas
ing daily, as the organized growers
continue to receive cash advances
which are far In advance of those
paid last year and are more than the
pi Ices paid for many grades on the
South Carolina auction markets in
1921 .
Cooperative marketing of tobacc.i
by Canadian growers has been highly
sttcewsrur according to a letter re
celved this week by M. O. Wilson,
-s-gcTgtary' Trr tTio~'CT'ggwaii n ot The"
Carolina-Virginia growers from John
Maghill, President ot the Canadian
Tobacco Growers Cooperative Com
pany of Ontario. Canada. President
Maghill writes "The prices received
by the growers of flue tobacco in the
year 1920 through the company were
from 22c to 38c per pound; 3921, from
25c to 43c per pound and 1922 from
27c to- 51c per pound. The prices j
quoted are for the tobacco received
from the farmers, on the Inbound
weight. ,
Prices for 1920 and 1921 equal prices
paid to the outside grower and the i
2922 prices are from 3c to 9c per
pound more than was offered by the
buyers for the same tobacco."
The Kentucky Burley Growers ac
cording to the latest reports averag
ed 9c per pound more in their first
year of organization than they had
rtceived for their 1920 crop when un
organized. In I92i despite an in
crease of nearly 100,000.000 pounds
in the yield their croif was sold at
about 9c more than the 1921 crop.
History repeats itself in coopera
tive marketing and the increased ad
vances paid by tho Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association as It begins
its second year of marketing has giv
en its members renewed confidence
1l the complete success of their plan
