THE HARTFORD DAILY COURANT: TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1919. PIT GROWERS ORGANIZE TO CUT MIDDLEMAN PROFIT East Hartford Men May Sell Direct to Manucattarer. (Special to The Courant) HARTFORD, Tuesday, July, 15. There is a movement on this section of the tobacco belt, so it Is said on good authority, to get the local tobacco men to organize an association, SO that they can sell direet to the manufacturer, thereby eliminating the middleman and obtaining bigger profits for themselves. It is understood that the matter of financing this proposition has been started, and it is expected that by fall the grower will be able to say what price he wants for his tobacco.

Some of the biggest growers in this section are behind the movement, which, if carried successfully to completion, will do away with the the middlemen and give his profits the producer. It was also stated that agents representing the Connecticut tobacco growers have made arrangements with cigar manufacturers of the East and the Middle West to handle their crop without the aid of the middleman or packer. This idea has been in the minds of many growers for a long time, but it has only recently leaked out that it is their desire to remove the middleman. Several of the town in this section have formed tobacco growers' associations for the purpose of pulling together, and if more money can be made by direct selling, the associations are going to help do it. Associations have been formed at South Windsor, Somers, East Windsor, field, Windsor Locks and Ellington and they all seem to be of the same idea that of getting more for the crop in order to offset the increasing cost of growing the plants on account of the increased cost of fertilizer and help.
