TTobacco ; growers from more than 4Q coun- ? ties of North Carolina and Virginia I met here today, recognized as a p?>- j sibte development f the near future, : the liquidation of . the Tri-State To- j baceo Growers' Co-operative Market- j ing association, anti decided to. form j a co-operative marketing: association | for the old bright belt of the two states. Formation of the new association* it was decided, will be predicated upon a sign-up of 50 per cent of all the tobacco raised in the old briirht belt of the two states. It was first proposed to the growers, to meet to hear the. report of an organization committee appointed several months ago. that a ?ign-up of 65 per cent of the tobacco, be necessary before the contracts became binding but after hearing the opinions of several present the growers voted for the 50 per cent clause.

The greatest toss of all is the loss I experience which ha* been gained in foe past four years 'of operation of, a tobacco as-" sociation." The contract under vyhich the f ew association will operate if the sign up i$ -successful would call for de livery of all tobacco from the lands of every landlord sigper aod in cludes certain clauses te'rmed "safe guard" which the Tri-State contract did not have. Afnong these are pro visions that no officials shall deal with themselves in any manner and that there shall be no paid directors except the president.
