DANBURY REPORTER Volume LI. IMPORTANCE OF HIGHWAY WINSTON-SALEM TO ROANOKE Stokes and Forsyth Shou Put Project Through- Section of North Caroli The following editorial in re- ] gard to the proposed national; highway from Winston-Salem j to Roanoke, Va., through Stokes county, appeared in yesterday's I issue of the Winston-Salem; Journal : Winston - Salem should not,! and the Journal is sure Wins- i ton-Salem will not, lose interest I in the short route to Roanoke j By the short route we mean j the route through Danbury and the renter of Stokes county ! and Patrick and Flovd counties,! Vii ginia. T ie State of Virginia has ot li. ially designated the road fi'i m Stuart, Va„ to the North I Car' iina lint*. Stokes county, as j a iv.rt of the State highway sy-l.m. This means that tlii.-i >tr* tell of road will bo built eventually by the Virginia Highway Commission v.nd will lie maintained by that State. North Carolina's future road building program should by al! m« a.is include the highway thi'.'.igh Stokes county connee till ir up with the Virginia liigii way at the line. This would give the State, and especially all this section of the State, another great inter state highway. It would be the sh« i test oossible route between Roar.oke and Winston-Salem a.nd in the long run would save tourists an immense amount in reduced mileage from North to South. For this reason the Federal Government should be vitally interested in the con stru. tion of this highway. Winston-Salem ought never to cease work until this road is I milt. For this highway means nuuh to the future of this city. Its ''instruction would result in turning practically all the tour ist travel from Roanoke South rigid through Winston-Salem, whereas if the only road from Roanoke to Winston-Salem is the highway via Rocky Mount and .Martinsville much of the tourist travel will be diverted through Greensboro. Stakes county, of course, is more interested in the construe tion of this highway than in any it her- The people of that county know that this is their one and only chance to secure h meat interstate highway. For syth and Stokes should stand together on this proposition un til it is put over. Much will de pend, of course, on the attitude of the next Legislature toward the highway building program. Hut o long as there are roads such as this uncompleted in North Carolina the Legislature cannot afford to stop building highways. Id Stand Together and Means Much To This ina. TOBACCO CO-OPS BENEFIT TRADE Co-Operative Marketing Show:- Gains For Both Producers and Manufacturers In Sales Of Tobacco Recently Made. The Tobacco Growers Co operative Association has sold more than twenty-three million pounds of its redried bright to baccos of the 1922 and 192,'} crops within the past thirty davs, ac cording to the latest statement of Richard R. Patterson, manager of its leaf department. This de mand for the association's to baccos. according to Mr. Patter son, marks the increasing success of the organized farmers in selling their product to manu facturers and dealers and the satisfaction of the latter securing wholesale quantities of high grade products of guaranteed quality for uniform prices. Proof that cooperative market ing of tobacco is beneficial to the manufacturers and dealers as well as the producers was con tained in the recent report of nine leading American tobacco companies. This showed that after interest and depreciation charges and charges and taxes were deducted, the aggregate net income of these companies was $70,>121,423 compared with $••9, ON") S;s7 in 1922. This showing is an increase of less than two per cent over aggregate profits in 1922 but represents an increase of fifteen per cent over 1 • '2l and forty per cent over 192". Approximately fifty per cent of the total receipts of the To bacco Growers Cooperative As sociation from the P.'2:l crop have now been sold at satisfact ory prices, but no immediate an nouncement of payments to association members is looked for until considerably more than half of the 192: i receipts have been sold. Only 3i million pounds of bright tobacco from the 1922 crop is now held by the associ ation and the sale of this will later be followed by final state ments to members of the associ ation in the old belt and Eastern North Carolina which according to association's officials will tie similar to those which aie now being issued to the organized farmers of the South Carolina belt. As shown by the individual statements now being handed out and mailed from the 42 re ceiving stations of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association in the South Carolina belt, many individual averages for deliveries to the cooperative floors ran over forty dollars and in some eases be>ond fifty dollars a hundred pounds. C. A. Singletary, of Coward, S. C., made the highest average, including scrap and low grades. Mr. Sinuletarv put into the association 2,102 pounds for which he received $1,111,33. an average of $">2,N7 per hundred pounds. Danbury, N.
