December IS, and announced recently in the press of the State, has been moved on Tues day, December 17. The change in date was made nec essary becauhe of the inability of James C. Stone, vice chairman of the federal Farm Board and tobacco rep resentative on the Board, to be at Raleigh on December 18. In a long distance telephone call to Dean I. O. Schaub, Mr. Stone said he would have to send a substitute unless the date could be changed. Feeling that the tobacco farmers would prefer to have Mr. Stone outline to them in person how the Federal Farm Board could aid the tobacco grower, Mr. Schaub felt it wise to change the date. The meeting therefore will be held in Fal len Hall at State College on Tuesday morning, December 17, at eleven o'clock. A full representation of growers from every tobacco growing section of the State is desired. At this meeting, the growers pres ent will decide whether they will pro ceed to form a cooperative marketing rssociatlon. In some sections of the State considerable interest is reported but In other areas, the growers are apparently apathetic. The county agents in the Southeastern section report that the growers are Interest td In having their tobaoco properly graded and would be interested In sell ing through a pool. In the central section, the reports indicate that the growers would prefer to await the final outcome of the receivership of the old Trl-State Association. At any rate, says Mr. Schaub, final decision In the matter will be made on December 17. A secret ballot will be held on that date and If the grow ers decide to attempt the formation of a co-operative association, an or ganisation committee will be appoint ed and the growers will themselves proceed to term their own association.
