V. Brown, chief of the N. C. division
of Markets, has prepared a summer.\

based upon the results of successful

(2) Only tobacco farmers belong,

(3) There ia no stock and there are
no 'profits. Proceeds are paid back
to the farmers after deducting all ex

(.4) Ail farmers are treated exact
ly alike—no partiality—all sign the

(6) Good tobacco gets a good price
—poor tobacco not so good.
(6) The Tbacco Association is not
trying to fix the price—but to get
it for the termor.
(7) Farmer agrees to deliver for
live yeara all of (ho tobacco he raises
—but he may from time to time grow
more, less or none aa he, himself,
chooses.
8) The contract is binding—there
is no way to dodge it when once ef
fective, do not forget that—but it
does not become effective until the
growers of 60 per cent of the tobacco
sign up. Thus the Aaaoctetioa will
make a substantial advance payment
~t# tiw-e.rower at SJj£ i'j^of^Wlverv.

tobacco and sell from time to time
in largw lets. Kach grower will got
his share of the proceeds for the year
regardless of the price his particular
tobacco may bring.

the consont of the members, organise
a warehousing corporation in any dis
trict or community for curing, dry
ing, storing or otherwise handling the
tobacco for its members.
(2) Only members may hold the
common stock—and the oommon stock
controls the corporation.
' 18) Preferred stock, having no vot
! lag power, may bo purchased by any
one—and may be retired later by the
.corporation. « -
(4), Corporation will bo organised
for tho service of the Association —on
a non-profit basis.

Much concern over no-fenee low
The No-Fence Law seems t* be giv- 1
lag the Legislature mock concern, t
Doubtless many " sections are very t
much in need of it, an dan th* eon- 
trary there era many sections that do I
not ne*d it shd wll sustain a gnat v
less from it if it le passed. . «
It really looks hk* there are many I
vital questions which should receive \
the attention of one hundred and >
seventy Seaatora and Repreeentntivee ■
before so much attention la given to t
a matter of so iitde lmporteare>. The «
p*op)e should have at least a year »
to change from the present method, t
Those who have no pastare prepared

not in shape for market.
