Probably 1000 tobacco grower, were in Raleigh, to hear James C. Stone, vice president of the Federal Farm Board, who pointed out some of the advantages of ar. association, and also some of the does not think a cooperative as sociation will be a panacea for all ills, but he does believe that or ganization will help to stabilize the price. A Oooperatve associa tion, he said, is not a price fix ing organization, it is a merchan disng association, and set up on sound business principle, it vr.ll be the means of avoiding wide fluctuations in the price. Too high a price for tobacco, he stat 2d, ^ just as harmful as too low a price. Mr. Stone believes that a co >perative association, to be sue-' :essful, must be constituted of growers who believe in the prin dple of cooperative marketing and ivho are willing to give their time md energy in making an a3so-1 nation a success. He does not jelieve in coercing farmers to loin. He thinks the contracts i should be of indeterminate terms tf a farmer wishes to get out if ter he has signed, he should bo , allowed to do so, but should not1 >e allowed to go back into cne association under two years One very favorable factor in' "eorganizing an association, thinks VIr. Stone, is the change in the attitude of the United States gov. uTiiment toward cooperative mar cpting. Ten years ago no one in Washington would even listen when the subject was brougnt p. Now the government is behind co operative marketing, a fact that should mean the cooperation of „he tobacco manufacturers instead of their antagonism. He brought the big crowd to cheers when he declared for gov ernment grading. He smiled a da clination when asked to say what would be the government’s Atti tude toward free grading, but thought the board at Washington would be willing to grade at a nominal price. The farmers would thereby get uniformity and that is what they miss now. The Sunithfield market has had tho opportunity to try out government grading this year, and whether there is an association o-r not, government grading is taking well ’with the farmers. When Mr. Stone had made his speech, Dean J. O. Schaub, of State College, who presided over the meeting, took a vote to as certain the sentiment for or against the organization of an as* association at this time. The votir.g Wok place after quite a number ’ hod left the hall for lunch, but ' even then, 479 voted for orgamz- ‘ ing with only three negative votes. | The organization will proceed j along state lines instead group-1 ing several states, though after the state organizations are per- j perfected, it is likely that an all! embracing sales organization will be formed. After a number of suggestions | as to the procedure for organiz ing, it was decided that the chairman name a nominating com mittee of five which shall name an organization committee of fif teen to report back to a mass meeting to be held early in Janu ary. The organization committee is r'MXxmposed of the following: Dr. S. H. Crocker, Wilson uni ty, a former president of the I* a^n; Convention; L. O.
