Conditions went from bad to worse, and in 1925, only per cent of the tobacco produced in this district was delivered to the asso- ciation. The organization was practically nonexistent in this dis- trict during 1925. Some f alling-off in the percentage of the crop delivered during the last years was natural because the association's membership did not increase sufficiently to take care of those who ceased to be ac- tive members through the turnover among the owners and operators. 1922 '23 24 25 PER CEUTOF TOTAL PRODUCTION HANDLED33 26 20 13 BY ASSOCIATION 1922 '23 '24 '25 1922 '23 "24 '25 1922 55 55 47 35 44 54 38 35 35 '24 *25 23 15 Figure 13.—Production of Tobacco in Tri-State Area and Receipts by Association, by Types, 1922-1925 From per cent of the production of the tri-State area in 1922 the receipts of the association decreased to per cent in 1922, to per cent in 1924, and to per cent in 1925. of farms. It is also probable that many nonmember farmers began to grow tobacco or to increase their acreage more than the members did because the nonmembers anticipated or felt immediately the effect of the high prices.
