The Progressive Farmer, March 13, 1900. 7 TOBACJO DEPARTMENT. 'GUILFORO COUNT? ASaOCIA TION. Correspondence of The Progressive Fanner. Tne tooaccj growera of Guilford met in Greensboro Mirch 3rd. Reports showed thit associations have been or ganiz ?d in all the tobacco- producing townships. A delegate submitted an amendment to the Jordan plan, providing that any farmer who may sell his tobacco to any coccern other than the Jordan 3ndicite shall forfeit his entire crop and sabjcs him to indictment for fraud. Tae amendment was defeated. The meeriog was well attended and entbustaet c Tae nex5 meeting of tae County Association will be hell oa the second 8aturday in April. One of the county's tobacco growers, Mr. W. J Qroomfl, has received a let ter from J G. Johnson, Vica Chair man of the D moratic National Execu tive Committee, saying the Jordan plan is the most practical method of dealing with trusts he has yet heard of. He say e: "It i3 practically the Fame thing as has been adopted with very satisfac tory results by tke grape growers in Western New York. Prior to their adoption of this scheme they were all at eea about prices, and nobody was making any money. Now, instead of selling the grapes in a miscellaneous way, they are turned into the mutual company which they have organized. There they are crated and sold by the company, and the total proceeds for the season d s:ributed among the grow ers, who are in the pool, in proportion to each one's production and the grade of his producs." Mr. Johnson didn't Fay fo, but the raiain growers of California, by a simi lar organization, by pooling issue-), stopping cut prices, abolishing mid dlemen aad reaching the trade dirtct, have raised prices from 1 to 2 cents to 3 to 5 cents per pound within three years, increasing the value of raisin lan is by $50 to $125 per acre.

Pure White Lsad is the best pint in VoQ world, and always has bean since paint was used. Floods of ink, cat goes of paper, and fortunes ia money are used in tryintr, to cmvinc3 the public that Para White Load fa th3 poorest paint, to maks it fi; ti U33 it must be ex'.eaiei" or mixad wit1! zinc or "inert" material (Diry tea, ch'na clay, etc ) Ti3 concerted attack all alrog the liaa is cUirxni to b3 ia the iatera6 of toe public; improvamsat in quality ba icg th3 prexc for it, but the facts waenahiwa diic'on a v.?rv diffirant re&ecn for all this mighty effort to con via3 c-irwimriof paints that what Mn can be cured privately and pos itiveV at home of &11 weakness and diaea5. Write for new free book. Dr. J. N. Hathaway, 22 South Broad 3t, Atlanta, Ga. they have found..by experience to be the best in the world is really poor stuff. Tae reason may be divided into two parts. First, White Liad on account of its supsriority has come into such general use for all painting that it is preeminently the standard, and there fore is naturally the target at which the efirts of all WwUld-be paint sut stitutes are directed. S3coad, the cost of the "inert" material is one-half cent to one cent per pound ; so that a mix -ture of a little White Lmd, costing say five cen's psr pound, with the other material mentioned, yields a very large proflc when so'd at or near the price of Pure Wnite Load. No wonder that "combination leads" are so highly prais'-d and the pure article decried. If the pr( fit were ten tinra as great, the qualities ot tha mixta es would no doubc increase in excellence in same proportion (in the estimation of their manufacturer ) Fow people will be deceived after knowing the facts, for on general principles an article which c st one cent per pound ani lees c.n not be sold for six or seven cents, un less the buyer is deceived. A house when well painted with Pure White Lead and Pure Linseed Oil has to be repainted only at long inter vals, and tbea a single coat is usually sufficient to make it as good es new. If painted with zinc or barytes, or if these materials are largely mixed with the lead, the surface will soon check and crack, and the paint peel off in spots eo that it can never be repainted so es to make a good j )b. This has been the experience everywhere for fifty years or more, and tie apparently sudden discovery by makers of other material that Pare Wnite Load is the poorest kind of paint, while barytes. zino, etc., make the true paint, is really only a discovery of a new way to make big profits out of coisoraers As ehowiDg the real composition of the "combination leads" which are re ferred to in z no and barytes advertise ments aa containing a little "inert" material, an analysis of twenty-five different brands of those mixtures shows the following proportions: Wnite Load 651 pounds. Zinc 526 Birytes 1258 " or rv percentage, White Load 26 76 per o't Z nc 21 65 per c't Barytrs 51 6 J per c't This was the average of the whole twenty-five samples, but some con tained no lead at all, being principally barytes, but all sold under the brand "Pure White Load," The examination of the real quality of the goods eold to consumers of paints snows that, even if it were true that :he addition of ziac aad a little birytes improved White Lead, ia practice the proportioo of the cheap iagredieat will predomioato aad the coasu ner receive little value for hi3 money.
