: DECISION
The Supreme Court of the state
has handed down, a decision of great
importance -respecting the co-opera
tlve marketing of farm products. The
status of the co-operative association
in North Carolina is now permanent
ly settled by this decision in that it
declares the law constitutional and
the contract under which it operates
valid. The court does not view such
an association aa a monopoly in re
straint ot trade, but regards It a
protection to members of the asso
ciation against private iprofH and un
fair manipulation. The court In
