Tobacco Company further reduced its
charges for re-drying to $1.50 per
hundred pounds.”
Director Sands when told of the
suit last week declared “It is ludi
crous to allege that a net profit of
$500,000 has been made by the very
parties who effected a saving of
hundreds of thousands of dollars for
the association.” The public director
for Virginia characterized tha suit as
a last ditch fight to discredit the asso
ciation and impede its further prog
ress.
According to the statement of
Robert Wade, the young attorney who
is most active in the suit, represen
tatives of Henry Ford’s legal staff
will come shortly into the tobacco
section, for the purpose, he says, of
securing data to contest Sapiro’s
damage suit filed against Ford.
The recent warning of Dr. J. Y.
Joyner to the farmers which was
made by the veteran worker and
organizer of the association when he
annoimced that he would retire from
a salaried position with the associa
tion to serve it without pay, seems
especially timely in view of the efforts
now being expended in the annual at
tack against the farmers of Virginia
and the Carolinas who are organizing
their own business. “In this fight for
economic freedom and economic jus
tice for our farmers, we are now
standing at the Marne,” said Dr.
Josmer, in bidding his associates fare
well, and declared that “arrayed
against us are powerful forces,
strongly entrenched, perfectly orga
nized, powerfully financed, determined
in their own interest to destroy us
this year if they can.”

Valuable feed may be saved by cull
ing the poultry fiock this summer.
Those hens that molt early, that are
old and inactive are generally board
ers and should be sold or put in the
pot.
Barley seems to be coming back to
popularity in Piedmont North Caro
lina. It makes surer and bigger
yields than oats, find the farmers who
have-tried it.
SUIT REGARDED
AS ANNUAL FIGHT
(Continued from page 1)
ville, where the present suit is filed
“There is a shrewd suspicion that the
action has been fostered largely in
South Boston by the same element
which sought to destroy the associa
tion last summer.”
The saving of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars for the association
and its members by the men who
came to its aid and redried its tobacco
for from 25 cents to 50 cents cheaper
per hundred pounds than the price
which other redriers would have
forced the association to pay, was
“good business, good morals and
good economy for the association” ac
cording to Oliver J. Sands of Rich
mond, Public Director for the asso
ciation in Virginia.
Public officials from three states
who were invited to investigate the
affairs of the association stated many
weeks ago in their report that they
had gone very thoroughly into its re
drying policies. In the words of the
Directors of Extension, the Com
missioners of Agriculture, the Chiefs
of the Bureaus of Mjfarkets and edi
tors of farm papers from Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina.
“The committee believes that the
association saved its members at
least 25 cents per hundred pounds in
redrying costs on the 1923 crop and
perhaps 50 cents per hundred in re
drying costs on a part of the 1924
crop. The association got a large
part of its tobacco redried at $1.75
per hundred in 1923 due to this basic
price. During 1924 the Edmondson
Tom Tarheel says he is getting
ready to exhibit at the fair this fall.

A Rich Old Age
If Methuselah had invested one dollar on his 21st
birthday, the amount at 6 percent interest compounded
annually, would at his death at the age of 969 years,
have grown to $977,157,900,000,000,000,000,000.
This is not a joke. Those are the actual figures given
out by a prominent U. S. Treasury (Hficial. They show
the earning power of the dollar at compound interest.
You will probably not live to be as old as Methuselah, but
even in the shorter lives of modem days there is plenty
of time for the dollar to get in its work if you give it the
chance.
