Frissell) Seven times as much tobacco was delivered to the 35 warehouses of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Asso ciation which opened lastl week In Eastern North Carolina and several old bvlt markets as was received by the association in the entire Eastern Belt during its flrstl week of opera tion last year; the 1924 deliveries of the tobacco co-ops In the East having already passed seven hundred thous and pounds. The satisfaction of association far mers over the highest advances ever paid 'by their organization Is result ing iii large deliveries to the cooper ative floors where increased pay ments on a great majority of the grades have brought larger returns to the farmers on practically every load this year. In addition to this, the febacco co-ops have now attained their goal of a 75 per cent cash re I turn for the tobacco of every mem ] ber who desires it, by means of loans to the members who wish to borrow half as much money as they receive from their deliveries. The association will open ten more markets in Central North Carolina on Tuesday, September 23, at Burling ton. Mebane. Durham, Creedmoor, (Oxford. Henderson, Norlina, Towns Iville, Loulsburg and Roxboro. The 'opening date for these markets has j been postponed because of the large I deliveries of tobacco now reaching l^ie association warehouses in South (Carolina and border North Carolina counties, ami the association, in "ac cordance with 11b policy of strict ; economy in manning the markets of several belts with tile same mana gers. graders and bookkeepers, will leave its workers a week longer to receive the rich harvest of - -tobacco now reaching yie cooperative floors in the Palmetto sjate. The sum of $2,300, 000 will be paid to members of tEe Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association at its ware houses throughout the old bel'j of Vir ginia and North Carolina next Mon day, September 15. This will bring the total receipts of all old belt mem bers who delivered flue cured tobac co las | season up to 75 per cent of the bankers' valuation on the crop of 1923. Very few cases of contract break ing have been brought to the atten tion of the association's legal depart ment this year, but the association has been successful In several recent cases where contract breakers have been required to pay liquidated dam ages for selling their tobacco out side of their own organization or en joined for selling their 1924 crop on the auction floors.
