The change in date was made i necessary because of the inability ' of James C. Stone, vice chairman of the Federal Farm Board and tobacco representative on the board, to be at Raleigh on Decem ber IS. In a long distance te’e- ■ phone call to Dean J. O. Schaub.^ Mr. Stone said he would have to ] ;>cnd a substitute unless the date could be changed. Feeling that the ;tobacco farmers' would prefer to have Mr. Stone outline to them in { person how the Federal Farm 3 Board could aid the tobacco < grower, Mr. Sc haul) felt it wise ( to change the date. The meeting ^ |therefore will be held in Pullen * |Hall at State College on Tuesday } I morning, December 17, at eleven < |o’clock. A full representation >f < I growers from every tobacco grow- J |ing section of the state is desired. i | At this meeting, the growers ^ I present will decide whether they ( will proceed to form a coop>ra |tive marketing association. in ’ some sections of the state consid erable interest is rcj>orted but in , other areas, the growers aro ap parently apathetic. The county agents in the southeastern sec tion report that the growers arc interested in having their tobacco properly graded and would be in terested in selling through a poo;. In the central section, the report indicate that the growers would prefer to await the final outcome of the receivership of the old fri State Association. At any rate, says Mr. Schaub, final decision in the matter will be made on December 17. A se cret ballot will be held on that date and if the groovers dec id 0 to attempt the formation of a coop erative association, an organiza tion committee will be appointed and the growers will themselves proceed to form their own ajso ciation.
