The GOO delegates who reached Danville from every county and corner of the old belt made it per fectly clear that they are determ ined to “carry on” for the sake of better prices by means of coop erative marketing providing that they can secure a majority of the land which is planted to tobacco, throughout the old belt. They made it equally clear that they are ready to quit making a higher price for the majority of other tobacco far mers who have failed or refused to cooperate unless they too are willing to organize in the future to maintain a fair price for their tobacco. Not one dissenting voice was heard when the farmers who rep resented the very cream of the to bacco growing industry of two states declared in a body for a contract. which would bind every leaf of tobacco grown on the land of every member of the new as- : 'ociation. No loopholes, no half share crops, no fifty fifty cooper ation was given a place in the new contract which was as near horse high, bull strong and hog tight as human thought could make it following three years of the most hideous exhibition of human weak ness. that has probably ever been disclosed in Virginia and North Carolina, by thousands of the men who pledged with their neighbors to support a movement for their mutual good and have se cretly or openly violated their sol emn cqntract;. , , The tobacco farmers themselves list .week took the reins entirely into their own hands, electing C.
