The meeting which will 1 be held in the courthouse is declared to be-one of the most important so fa r scheduled in the interest of a to t bacco cooperative marketing associa tion and farmers from all parts of the I county, in large numbers, are expect- I ed to attend. Yesterday, in Raleigh, 75 or more fjrm agents studied the contract, Mr. J. B. Brandon, representing this "Trinity, will explain the paper at the meeting here. According to present ■ plans, township committees will be stleeted at the meeting next Friday I and a drive for members is expected In follow immediately, but as far as- I il could be learned today, no signa tures will be solicited Friday at the .county meeting. In a letter addressed by Governor | Gardner to Mr. j. G. Staton lire to day, the purpose of the meeting and the . plans for organization were set out. as follows: t "I he purpose of this meeting is to acquaint the farmers with the tobac co marketing plan and then .to elect a t Qunty Secretary to serve with your jsilf as chairman, and to set up organi zation committees of three men, or women for each community; the com- . nilinity committee to, designate a sec retary and one member of their com mittee as chairman. The chairmen of the several committees will make up, with yourself as chairman, the county organization committee. i "The State t'ollege,- through either - i its county agent or the vocational teacher, or both, will assume the re sponsibility for the explanation of the contract for the co-operative market j ing of tobacco at the county meeting, but the responsibility for getting sig natures to the contracts must hi with your county and community commit . tees, and as rapidly ax the. contracts —— I are signed it will be the duty of your j county secretary to forward these contacts to t>r. J. G. Knapp, State acting secretary for the ex- I ecutive committee." In concluding his letter to Mr. i Stiiton, the Governor —expressed a sin- 1 | cere hope that nothing would stand in j the way of prompt action toward per- I fecting an organization. | The contract, too long for reproduc tion here, will be distributed at the j meeting here Friday. "No man can . , , hurt himself or will suffer from work ing for this cooperative," Sir. George Ross, representing the Governor, said !at the meeting held in Raleigh yes terday as to the value of the contract. In explaining the contract, Wil liam Collins, Federal Farm Board ex j pert and former official in the Burley ' Association of Kentucky, gave a few minutes to the attitude of the Board, at Jialeigh yesterday before the various county agents. The Association, from : the Board standpoint, is not organiz ed to fight anybody or anything or st lely /or the purpose of securing a monopoly of tobacco or to withhold it from the market. The purpose of the Association is to go into the business of merchandising tobacco for the good (4 the farmer producer. He urged the agents and teachers to tell the same story about the North Carolina contract and to tell a correct story. He explained the annual audit, the examination of the proposed as sociation by the Federal Farm Board and the policy* of no director- or em ployee doing any business whatsoever with the association. Only tobacco growers are entitled to, ( membership and the legal office will be at Raleigh. Mr. Collins said the contract did not state how much tobacco would have to be secured to make the association 1 effective' on October 15. If in the opinion of the Executive committee enough tobacco is on hand, and no tice is given in the press, the contracts «• - ( are binding at once. Mr. Collins touched the high spots |in each section of the contract and j clarified their meanings. He also „ answered many quettioas asked by the j agents such as they would expect from : their farmer friends.
