The payment of three-Piths ol a in' lion dollars which was distributed at thirty warehouses ol the association in the South Carolina Belt last Tues day came ten days ahe^d of the expected time ol pavmmt and wil prove a very substantial aid to the tobacco farmers who are in the mark ttlrg organization in meeting the ex penses ol harvesting their 1925 crop at this season when there is little or no Income from the farm.
