THE TAR HEEI, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1921.
CLARENCE POE SPEAKS
STUDENTS
Detail Plans and Advantage of Cot
ton and Tobacco Grower Co
operative Marketing Association
"There moist be a change from the
ancient 'dumping system' to an in
telligent merchandising system of
marketing crops," declared Dr. Clar
ence Poe, editor of The Progressive
farmer, and member of the organiza
tion committee of the Cotton and
Tobacco Growers Co-operative Mar
keting Association, in a lecture to
commerce students in Phillips Hall
Thursday evening, November 3rd.
Dr. Poe gave a clear and concise ex
planation of the strength of the
mechanism of this association, includ
ing North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Virginia, of the success and pro
giess of similar associations in for
eign countries, and in other sections
of the United States, and of the
merit of this system of marketing
crops.
The Tobacco Association including"
North Carolina, South Carolina, and
"Virginia shall be controlled by a
Board of twenty-five directors with
the head office at Raleigh. If by
January 1, 1922, the signatures of
the tobacco growers covering one-
hair oi the tobacco production in
these three states in 1920 have not
been secured for contract, all mem
bers have a right to break their con
tract and withdraw from the associa
tion; otherwise the contracts are
binding. Similar provisions are
made for cotton and various other
associations. The principal merits
of this contract and association, as
explained by Dr. Poe, are as follows:
(1) one association markets only
one commodity; (2) producers only
are eligible for membership; (3)
business experts will then handle the
crops; (4) every grower gets the
actual proceeds from the sale of the
commodity minus the cost to the
association of selling the product;
(5) this will be a permanent, not a
temporary organization; a legal con
tract binding for a term of five
years.
"Denmark is now a small country
full of happy people,", he continued,1
as a result of the formation of sim
ilar co-operative marketing associa
tions sixty years ago." The same
system was carried on in Ireland
under Sir Horace Plunkett until the
recent internal troubles. California
has successfully utilized the same
system in the marketing of fruits,
so this organization is no experiment
ing project. .
He further pointed out that the
farmer was not being swindled by
the manufacturer, but that he per
sisted in dumping his crops on the
markets to be taken by the manu
facturer at his own price; however,
the hard times of 1920 caused him
to 'come to himself and devise some
plan to alleviate his distressing condi
tion. Dr. Poe clothed his illustrations in
humorous anecdotes and thereby held
the close attention of the audience
at all times.

organization. Dr.Meyers from the
school of Sociology here, addressed
the students eloquently and entertain
ingly, receiving one storm of applause

the warm reception they received at
the hands of the Society and stated
that they would exert every effort
within their power to measure up to
the standards of the organization.
The Society was throwrn open for
the discussion of the query, "Resolv
ed, That the Di Society go on record
as favoring the abolition of the Ku
Klux Klan by national authority
Some two dozen men spoke pro and
con for the Klan Organization. The
debate almost waxed into a ques
tionaire, due to the fact that each
speaker would throw a question at
his opponent for him to answer as
best he could. An outstanding fea
ture of the discussion was the coin
age of a new word for the English
language: The word was a "what
not," and a whatnot is a "holy Rol
ler" as was explained by one able
speaker. At the close of a heated
discussion the Negative won the de
bate by a vote of sixty-nine to fifty-nine.
A motion was made by C. J. Wil
liams to endorse the better English
campaign for the ensuing week. The
motion was carried with remarkable
unanimity. The subject for discus
sion one week hence will be the
establisment of a pardoning board
in North Carolina.
J. D. Dorsette, president of the
Society suggested to the scribe that
he is highly gratified over the work
of the Society this year, and is won
derfully pleased over the splendid
progress made so far in this kind
of work. Old members of the Hall
declare that the interest taken this

anything, this year will be outstand

Much interest is being manifested
in the high school championship foot
ball series which promises to be the
most closely contested in years as
there is no outstanding team. In the
West, Monroe and Greensboro highs
seem to have the call over the other
schools, the former because of the
many veterans left over from last
year's aggressive team, and the lat
ter because the impressive manner
in which they rolled back the Chapel
Hill youngsters recently. Charlotte
and Asheville also have strong
elevens and should give the favor
ites plenty of trouble before the
smoke is cleared away.
Among the Eastern gridiron aspir
ants, there is very little to choose
between Durham, Red Oak, New
Bern, and Chapel Hill. Although
Tryouts for the three new plays to
be presented by the Carolina Play
makers were held in Peabody Audi
torium on Friday and Saturday after

terest than usual was manifested on
;he part of the student body in the
plays and a large number of would
be actors and actresses tried out for
the parts with the successful ones
as follows:
For Miss Lay's play "Trista"
Gaffer, Mr. Heffner; Kezzie, Miss
Woodrow; Trista, Miss Batts; Eph,
Mr. Everett; Dr. Trask, Mr. Frazier;
For Miss Yellott's play "Waffles

Yellott; Jeff. Andrews, Mr. Wilkin
son; Gertrude Evans, Miss Penn;
Herbert Jackson, Mr. Denny.

TENNIS COURTS ARE
TO BE REMEMBERED
The faculty and student tennis
committee, on account of the diffi
culty of those students using the
tennis courts in keeping the numbers
traight, has decided to renumber
the courts in a much better and sim
pler manner than they are now num
bered.
All courts on the north side (the
side nearest the gym) have been
given odd numbers, starting with the
ourt nearest Steele dormitory,
which has been numbered 1, and
so on down the line.
All courts on the south side (near
est Emerson field) have been given
even numbers, starting with the
court along side the big oak, which
has been numbered 2, and 20, on
down the line.
Exhibition matches between fac
ulty and varsity tennis players will
be held every afternoon this week
on the varsity courts.
