It is supposed that somebody "borrow ed" them, witHout a "by your leave", to journey home with, and then abandoned them.

LUMBERTON, N. 0, THURSDAY, MAY 4,1922 and Purposes 4 Mar ) keting Association Meeting nere Addressed by Officials V of ' ; Association Cooperative Plan is Only One ; That Givea Grower - a Fair Voice In Determining Price of His Product Mart Intelligent ami Economical Plan. :u . 5 The plans and purposes of the Tobacco Co-operative Marketing as sociation' were outlined before a re presentative gathering', of the . busi ness men of Lumberton. in . the muni cipal building Tuesday evening Those addressing the meeting were, Mr. -G. A. . Norwood of Goldsboro, president of thtts association for North . and South Carolina and Virginia; Mr. T. S. Ragsdale of Smithfield, a tobaCco buyer; Dr. J. Y. Joyner of LaGrange, director of the association from the third district; and Mr. J. A.. Brown of Chadbourh, director from the first district. A like , meeting was held at Proctorville Tuesday af ternoQn, : and yesterday at Rowland and Fairjnont. These meetings are forerunners of a "sign up" campaign to be waged in the county. ' Cooperative Plan i Mr. Norwood was the first to speak. In beginning he compared the old auction-sales plan of selling tobacco with the co-operative plan. The wisest of the two plans will live anf the other will perish, the speaker de clared. The new plan, he said, i i worthy of an opportunity to prove t self. Mr. Norwood is a leading bank er of Goldsboro and he sees no diffij culty in financing the cooperative plan of selling tobacco. Under the co operative plan the farmer will re ceive the cost of production when the tobacco is delivered to, the association and the profit when the tobacco is sold. The tobacco is not to be sold except at a profit to the grower. Kentucky Growers Pleased Mr. Ragsdale, who has been en gaged in the tobacco business for a number of years, was the next to speak. He told of a visit to Kentucky, where he studied the pooling, or co operative selling, plan. Out of 170, 000,000 pounds of tobacco grown in that State last year 120,000,000 pounds were sold through the co operative system. Mr. Ragsdale found that the farmers, merchants and bankers of Kentucky were pleased with; the new system, of selling to bacco. The" speaker told of the great saving in warehouse charges "under the cooperative selling plan. After studying the plan in Kentucky, Mr. Ragsdale thinks the co-operative sys tem should be put into effect in the bright tobacco belt. More Economical Plan Dr. Joyner delivered a forceful and eloquent address He said in part: "Whatever is best for the agricul tural interests of Robeson county is best for the town of Lumberton and every citizen in it. The co-operative selling plan is more economical than the old auction system. The new sys tem will eliminate many of the mid dlemen. Under the cooperative plan of selling the buyer can pay more to the grower without an increased cost to himself. Whatever the cost of marketing, it must be paid by the grower. Here the speaker added that he was attacking the auction system and not the men who hold that that is the best system of marketing to bacco. The co-operative system, he declared, is not only the most intelli gent, but the most profitable, pkin. Good prices cannot prevail upon a glutted market. Glutted markets and distressed sales depress prices. Under the old auction sales system we have both to contend with. A 60-days' sell ing period produces glutted market conditions and depressed sales. The cooperative plan will eliminate both. The plan of the cooperative svstem is to feed the market as the tobacco is needed and not glut it. Gives the Farmer a-Chance "If the auction sales system is the best, why is it that the manufactur ers do not sell the manufactured to bacco at auction? The cooperative pian oi selling js the only method under which the farmers can have a voice in fixing the price of tobacco. Under the present system the farm er is absolutely at the mercy of the buyer. The farmer is uninformed both as to the quality and price of his pro duct. Under the auction system the farmer has not a chance. Cooperative marketing proposes to give the farm er a voice. Organization offers the only price protection to' the growers. The farmer should have some voice in fixing the price of his produce. Farmer is Entitled to More "The cooperative association is on ly asking that the farmer shall re ceive an equitable share of the profit if jus produce. He is not getting it under the old system. The tobacco grower now only gets 8 cents out of the, dollar which the consumer pays for manufactured tobacco. He is 'en titled to more. He can get it only through organization." In closing Dr. Joyner appealed for the co-operation of local business men in the movement. Mr.r Brown stated that Robeson county is the only one in the first district that has not already ilmnH (Continued on page five.) fet.
