For the purpose of ascertaining

yesterday announced plans for
communicating with all Interest
ed farmers and land owners
whereby it will he known approx
imately how much land will be

for the next season,
Mr. f ’ooper over «h week ag«>
made known in South Carolina
that he wanted to*get in touch
with an experienced tobacco
grower for work in this section.
He has received about a dozen
applications for the job and hopes
as soon as he bears from those in
terested in toWacco to employ a
man for the first season. The ex-
pert who will be employed will

of start it is believed farmers
through this section will be un
usually successful with tobacco
and the services of f !.e expert, un
der the plan mapped out out by
Mr. Cooper, will cost very little
compared to the results obtained.
Those who have made known
their intentions of planting to
bacco have indicated n willing
ness to devote from ten to twenty
aercs in the crop, and many who
are now investigating are mor%
than likely to‘join in the tobacco
planting movement. Mr. Cooper
has held a number of conference®
