POE There are just two or tlire * additional statements that, 1 feel should be made in this connection. First, with reference to the formation of an “Interstate To bacco Committee” to promote the organization of a soundly conceived plan of cooperative' marketing as called for by the ' recent mass meeting of North : Carolina, Virginia and South Ca:-1 olina growers in Raleigh Sep tern-1 her 7. Plans for the formation of such a committee are order j way and will no doubt be a i- : nounced shortly by .). C. Stone, the tobacco member of the Fed eral Farm Board, whose conserv ative but able and constructive, address in Raleigh is still win ling commendation in all quar ters. Second, with reference to the iize of this year’s crop. It b2S >een frequently argued that the iresent disastrosly low price of obacco is due to a large over iroduction. And if we considered >nly • the increase in production vithout considering the big in re^>e in consumption, such an rgument would be plausible. As 1 matter of fact, however, the ; atest official government figur»?s ; ndicate these facts: 1. The present bright flue- i ured crop is estimated at only,] 11,000,000 pounds in excess of a year ago—752,000,000 pound? as against 741,000,000 last year. 2. Since last year’s crop of to bacco was made the increased an nual “disappearance of tobacco’ —that is to say, its manutature and absorption by commerce—has increased over 97,000,000 pounds, or from 017,000,000 to 714,000, 000. 3. If the increase in tobacco consumption the coming year therefore, is even half what it was last year, the carryover of bright flue-cured tobacco will be even smaller next July 1 tha/i on July 1 of this year. I have no wish to be unfair io the tobacco companies, and if 1 felt that overproduction justified present low prices I should face the facts. These olficial United States Department of Agriculture figures, as given me by the North i Carolina Department of Ag.*'.-| culture Crop Reporting Service, however, seem to nullify any such argument. At the same time I do wish. both to admit and emphasise the ■ fact that as a class our farmers! in North Carolina as a whole and in Eastern North Carolina! in particular, are practicing a one- . armed “plant production only” i | system of farming ■ which will1 never bring prosperity ana in 1 many seasons will bring positive j disaster. We have a badly ual anced system of farming. While we have bragged enormously abou. ! North Carolina’s high rank :n crop values or the plant produc tion side of farming, in livestock values or animal production, \vt make a showing that is .positively disgraceful. Roughly speaking, \v< have been ranking around sev enth in crop values and twenty seventh in livestock values. As r matter of fact, in livestock val ues per farm North Carolina ranks next to the bottom of ai the states in the American lTr.a>i — North Carolina having only $441 Livestock values per farm against $2.87-6 in Iowa, and a great part of our little $441 is represented by work stock which is a source of expenditure and not a source of income at all! In the eenstv year 1920 North Carolina had l::.«00 fewer eat tie than it nac in 18S0, -ill years before; lX2,00f fewer hogs and 371,000 fi-wei sheep. Furthermore, while toluc co is selling for little more thar pre-war (1909-14) prices, and cotton for not much more wl.e: we allow for increased cost ot production resulting from the coming of the boll weevil, five leading forms of animal produc tion are now selling at the e in creases over pre-war: Beef cattle .... 87 per cent Hogs -- . . 35 per cent .Eggs -.... 21 per cent •Butter . (17 per cent Wool ....- 70 per cent Personally, therefore, whiie 1 -relieve that the problems of our tobacco farmers cannot be solved without cooperative marketing, I ilso believe that cooperative mar keting alone will not solve tlj?m. Right now our .imperative duty s to organize our tobacco far ners into cooperative marketing issociations that will seek both o market wisely and to adjust icreage to consumption. But. ilong with this should go a stace vide campaign for a better bal meed system of farming—a cam paign that will “add animal pro motion to plant production” and ave us from being next to the, owest state in livestock values' ?r farm. When we do both of lese things to bring up the live ,ock side of North Carolina ag culture and provide strong and ■fective marketing organizations >r what we produce—then, in enry Grady’s fine phrase, “will p breaking the fullness of our sy ” [«»w tan Our Tobacco Farmer# Organize? • r When the Tobacco Grow'er s Co- t perative Association of Virginia, i lorth Carolina and South Caio- t na was finally thrown into an eceivership three years ago, h here were many who said that j < ever, no never in this genera- j; ion and in this territory should h ve see another organization that j vould amount to anything for co- I: iperative marketing of tobacco. Yet hundreds of leading grow- j >rs from these three states, far riers of influence and standing,! tssembled in the State Capitol in j Raleigh a few days ago and I jnanimou»>ly and enthusiastically idopted the following resolutions: • “Whereas the ass.stance and \ leadership offered by the Federal! government throng a its newly j created Farm Board make the j time especially propitious for or ganizing effective cooperative! marketing, therefore be it “Resolved, than the- Federal Farm B.aid ,the n.ttl States Department of Agriculture, the State Agricultural Colleges, and the State Departments of Agri culture of the Southeastern states be requested to cooperate with the leading farmers, bankers and other business men in these states n working out and setting . up pfficient system of cooperative marketing for tobacco at the earl iest possible moment. “2. That the Federal Farm Board be requested to take 1he eadership in this matter and set up an ‘Interstate Tobacco Committee’ for the study of this whole subject, and the promotion >f cooperative marketing of to 1 From this fact and from much »ther evidence that might be pre sented, this conclusion stands nit: While it is too late to organize ’or handling this year’s crop, a ietermined effort will be made 'and with fine prospects of sue ;ess) to organize a strong new jrganization for cooperative mar keting of tobacco before next ,'ear’s crop goes on the market (and such an effort may even telp this year’s prices). It is therefore very fitting to isk why such a change of senti nent with reference to cooperative narketing of tobacco has come .bout. The writer, as a tobacco rrower himself, knows how se ious a financial problem is pre ented by present conditions, and *ur contact with other tobacco rrowers in the Carolinas and Vir ?in-ia has given us what we be ieve is a fairly correct picture f the other big factors responsi ve for the changing attitude of armers and the public. The first thing one thinks of, 01 ourse, is the present disastrously ow price of tobacco. In last week’s ’rogressive Farmer we gave the*1 average North Carolina prides 'or G2 years—from the time Tur ners still wearing the gray of the Confederacy sold the crop in 866 at a 14.3 cent average until 928 inclusive—and average pri ces for the last ten years were hovvn to have been as follows: i ear L-ents. ; 1919 -- 53 »j j .920 ... 25.3 1921 .... 2C 0 j 922 ... 21.G 923 ..21.0 ' 925 - 23.0; 92« ... ., 25.0 1927 _ 23.0i .928 --- 20.0 For the entire period of th . j ast 10 years, therefore, it will be 1 Oen that North Carolina has av-1 •raged 27 cents a pound. Yet the * iverage price on the Eastern 'forth Carolina markets the week f opening was under 13Ms eentw >r less than half the average mice of the decade. Just as our educational lead- I ts used to say, “Ignorance is nc ; emedy for anything.” so our 'aimers may well say to th eon elves now, “Helplessness is no emedy for anything.” We have | >een three years without an or* 'animation and prices have declin 'd each year until this year’s "op has reached the proportions ■ * disaster. ri II < And all this has occurred 1e : le face of the fact that the big v xbaeco companies are rolling in f ealth and almost dizzy witn the a lagnitude of their own profits. Ve have no disposition to stir up ^ ittemess toward the tobacco £ lanufacturers, and yet these t re facts it would be unfair md l ncandid to ignore. The manufac- < urers, through organization anu I indern and effective marketing nd salesmanship, have acquired t olossal profits, and it would eem to be clear that growers \i oust themselves organize and i: dopt infinitely improved market- I ng methods if they are to share i n the prosperity of other orgar. zed classes. Just how enormously the to*! >acco companies have profited .hrough organization and efficient marketing is sufficiently indicat ed by the official statement by President Hill of the American Tobacco company as published in the August 29 issue of the New York Journal of Commerce in con nection with the issuance of some new stock: ‘ A purchase of 100 shares of our common stock at the then market, January 2, 1918, would have cost the investor $14,250, aid this investment of $14,250 if I held to December 31, 1928, wou'd have yielded in cash dividends, $28,787, and on December 31, 192£, the investor would have held, in lieu of the original 100 shares (of $100 par value stock) 485 shares of $50 par value stock, witli a market value 071 that da'e of $80,298.75. The cash return on the original investment, plus the market appreciation of he 11-year period, is. equivalent to an average annual income (including appreciation) of more than 64 per cent on the original invest ment.” Yet with the largest of the our great tobacco companies advertis ing that on stock bought ten years ago it has made annual profits of “more than 04 per cent on the original investment” oui tobacco farmers are faced with prices which will mean not 04 per cent profit, or 6.4 per cen* profit, but returns far less than the actual cost of production. Ill This fact alone of course would go far toward accountir.g for the new realization that wth every other class organized, it is suicide for farmers themselves no‘ to be organized also. Yet there are not one or two but a full half dozen big facts which further explain the willing ness of farmers to consider form ing a new organization for coop erative marketing. For example let us consider what were the main reasons generally given i-> 1926 for saying there would oe no further cooperative marketing of to-bacco. A man of that da3 wouid have said in effect: “There will be no further co operative marketing of tobacco for ten or twenty years because of these six facts as we see them in 1920: COW FpR sale: Jersey and Guernsey mixed, good condition.

Some of the big tobacco companies have been hostile to cooperative marketing ami have discriminated against the "cooper ative association in buying tobac Such were the arguments, plaus ible enough, made just three years ' ago to prove that cooperative | ‘ marketing of tobacco would not] “come back.” Yet since that time j there has been an almost revolu-11 tionary change of conditions as |' is illustrated by the following]' facts: 1. There has been a widespread ' awakening to the fact that while the growers in their initial ef fort at cooperative tobacco mar keting did make a number of mis takes, they themselves had recog nized these mistakes and had themselves corrected practically all of these mistakes before a receivership was ordered. In other words- the growers showed themselves capable of correcting their own errors and learning from their own experiences. 2. A five year contract is hot necessary. On the contrary, *’ne disposition of successful cooper atives almost everywhere now is ; to allow a certain period each year when a member may with- | draw’ if he wishes to do so.
