Farmers Union aims to control tobacco market in Virginia
Richmond special. At a Virginia Division Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union meeting plans were outlined for practical control of the tobacco market. The scheme would store gathered crop in warehouses, issue certificates as collateral for bank loans, and delay sale until favorable prices. Banks would lend up to 65 percent of the certificate value, letting growers receive most of their money sooner. The plan envisions large central warehouses, already begun at Danville and Houston, with local committees managing the stock.
