HOVSB CLEANING CAME

From all indications it seems that
the T?ba(cco ? Grower* Oo-opcrsttve
_ Awwciatton is going t z have a gen
eral house-cleaning, but we are

y u* ,for th# cleaning some time. since,
raying there was nothing 1 1 it.
.However! when the" Government re:

, ttift the County Assoqiatian'ivident
*yiy knew .what ft was talking about,.
?nd 7iow -these officials whtTwere then i

' . IJad this rlean-up coipe earlier we
believe there might have been . n !
lot, if the feeling is general at it is
around here, we doubt if there can
TfXtaaibly be ar.y way to__ save, . ot rfc

largely have lost fafth in those who .
a?e in control, and th?y will tie -low
fa .signing any contract unless .they I

and we doubt if .raising to

mitil oh pfratlve marketing is ptft \

can hardly get n farmer now to ;ign !
