the South Carolina offices of tin
Association.
At Bamberg and Hartsvllle mem
ber growers averaged two cent3 a
pound more In advance than the av
erage paid by the "auction" system
In .1921. In the face of these figures
and the fact that the Association
has increased Its advance payments
to South Carolina members and is
urging them to make early deliver
les in order to hasten the second
payment, onjy growers with abort
memories And any reason to clinr
to the out-of-date "auction" system.
That many of them still remember
1 921 is shown by the way new con
tracts are being signed in the .Pal
metto State.
Wore than 20 Virginia counties

In school districts or townships and
