FLEMING. Dear Mr. Editor, Since reading the lare half page advertisement in the Warren Record announcing that the Warrenton To bacco Market would open Tuesday Sept. 19, 1922, io sell tobacco under the old Auction System operate! for the past 40 or 50 years, I would like to know why they sre making this announcement so far in advance. They usually give only 20 or 30 days notice of such opening. Can it be a bait to induce some not to sign the Co-operative Marketing contract for their independence so that "they may longer live off the sweat of the tobac co farmer's brow? We are living in an advanced age md are trying to make improvement as we go. Why not improve on th oM Auction System of disposing of cuv tobacco? I haven't ever blamed any warehouseman or any one con nected with the tobacco business for seekiiigJbilivir!., usder, the - Auction System as operated for the past 40 or 50 years, for it was the only sys tern we had. but now it seems that the'e is a brighter day ahead for the tobacco farmer, a time when he may have some say as to what his tobacco must bring, and thereby bring pros perity to himself and others. Why should as fine body of men a.: those who constitute the Tobacco Board of Trade at Warivrton try to iiscourage a movement that might li?'p so many? Is it in or'Tc.r to make it a little easier for a few"; ' s Why hasn't the farmer a right to demand a living profit on what he produces? Why should he be ex pected to make his tobacco at cost and below? To you, Mr. tobacco farmer who has not signed this contract, I appeal that you study carefully who is your friend. Is it the man or set of men who would keep you in the same old rut that you have been for the pas 40 or 50 years, or the one who would have you co-operate with your neigh bor and improve your condition by selling your produce at a profit in order that your wife and children might live in comfortable homes, be educated, visit summer resorts and enjoy the privileges that people of other occupations enjoy? By A. E. PASCHALL Editor Warren Record : I notice in your last issue a very large advt. in regard to the opening of the tobacco market in Warrenton on Tuesday, Sept. 19, 1022, "At the very earnest request of our farmer friends desiring to sell tobacco by the usual auction plan."

The campaign for members of the Tobacco Growers Co-operative Asso ciation is to be continued until Feb. 2 when the board of directors assumes control, according to a decision of the tri-state organization committee mad at its recent Raleigh meeting. The decision to continue the cam paign was made in view of the pres sure brought on the organization com mittee from sections .of counties where growers had not yet had an op portunity to sign the tobacco market ing contracts. i ' Reports from Virginia, North Carp lina and South Carolina show that an overwhelming majority of tobacco growers in the three States have al ready joined the tobacco association," which is now declared to be the big gest organization in the United States, exceeding by many millions of pounds the amount of tobacco to be handled by the Kentucy burley grow ls association. . .; New members are to be allowed to vote in the elections but their con tacts do not (count in determining lie districts which have aiready been fixed for the first year.
