Raleigh, July 20.—Three outstand ing developments in •h" atfi.irs of the Tobacco Growers ' As/o-'intion during the past week indu.ite that the tight on the organii'e.l growers is weakening most when- ; h.- attack has been heaviest. The first is the popular reaction to the resignation of Dr. James V. Joyner. former superintendent f public instruction in North Carolina, as an employee of the association. Dr. Joyner, in severing his official connection with the association, tendered his services in the interest of the association without pay. "Let me congratulate you with all my heart upon the inestimable service you have rendered the emancipation of the farmer," a well known Eastern North Carolina min ister wrote Dr. Joyner. Many other letters have been received lauding ! the position of Dr. Joyner, who is as zealous in behalf of the move ment which means prosperity on the farms as he was for almost 20 | years in behalf of extending public school system to every child in North ! Carolina. Opponents of co-operative mark eting suffered another set-back when, in a speech at Zcbulon, one of the opposition propagandists was asked point-blank by a member grower if not been employed to make "anti-co-op" speeches by the organ ized auction warehousemen. The speaker denied any Elusion but ad mitted that he did not take the stump against the association until after a interview with an official of the organized warehousemen's as sociation. So mu.li happened bv way of turn back the under-cover light which op ponents of co-operative marketing have been making. On the other side of the fence was the announcement from headquarters this week that the new sign up cam paign has brought into the fold of organized growers over seven hun dred new members. Most of these new memberships are in South Carolina territory, al though quite a few have come from Columbus, Bladen and Robeson coun ties. The result as view by associa tion officials, is a most effective answer to the hostile attacks which are being made by agents of the auction system. Figures which have been made public in a series of newspaper ad vertisements from Raleigh head quarters, according to directors in the field, have served to present the co-operative marketing question to business men in a new light and the apathy which has marked the pro gress of the movement in some sec tions of North Carolina, these di rectors say, will be converted into active championship of the associa tion. The 200,000,000 slogan for 1925 according to the good news which is now reaching headquarters daily, is not an over-estimate.
