Book Tri State Tobacco Growers Association Study

Download or read book Tri State Tobacco Growers Association Study written by and published by . This book was released on 1925 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection contains a typescript draft for a study and history of the Tri-State Tobacco Growers Association (also known as the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Marketing Association). Written by Sydney D. Frissell and B. D. Tillett, the book was to detail the brief existence of the cooperative and place it in context of general agriculture, tobacco farming, and other cooperative efforts. Papers within the collection indicate that the subject of tobacco prior to the formation of the cooperative was to be written by Tillett, while Frissell, a one-time officer of the cooperative, would write the history of the cooperative itself. The draft is incomplete, and what is present seems to be comprised largely of the subjects assigned to Tillett. Only one file relates explicitly to the cooperative, with the remainder devoted to background subjects. Included are drafts and background materials on the history of American agriculture, tobacco cultivation by Native Americans and the colonists; transportation, consumption, and foreign trade of tobacco; farm tenancy; and agricultural cooperatives. The collection also contains several working outlines for the book, the working title of which was "An Economic and Social Study of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Marketing Association." Also included are a few pieces of correspondence regarding the project, including an exchange of letters between Frissell and Professor John R. Hutcheson, director of the Virginia Agricultural Extension Service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive history of Bright Leaf tobacco culture of any state to appear in fifty years, this book explores tobacco's influence in South Carolina from its beginnings in the colonial period to its heyday at the turn of the century, the impact of the Depression, the New Deal, and World War II, and on to present-day controversies about health risks due to smoking. The book examines the tobacco growers' struggle against the monopolistic practices of manufacturers, explains the failures of the cooperative reform movement and the Hoover administration's farm policies, and describes how Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal rescued southern agriculture from the Depression and forged a lasting and successful partnership between tobacco farmers and government. The technological revolutions of the post-World War II era and subsequent tobacco economy hardships due to increasingly negative public perception of tobacco use are also highlighted.The book details the roles and motives of key individuals in the development of tobacco culture, including firsthand experiences related by farmers and warehousemen, and offers informed speculations on the future of tobacco culture. Long Green allows readers to better understand the full significance of this cash crop in the history and economy of South Carolina and the American South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of tobacco’s fortunes seems simple: science triumphed over addiction and profit. Yet the reality is more complicated—and more political.

What brought about change was not medical advice but organized pressure: a movement for nonsmoker’s rights.

Book When Tobacco Was King

    Book Details:
  • Author : Evan P. Bennett
  • Publisher : University Press of Florida
  • Release : 2014-10-21
  • ISBN : 0813055083
  • Pages : 166 pages

Download or read book When Tobacco Was King written by Evan P. Bennett and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tobacco has left an indelible mark on the American South, shaping the land and culture throughout the twentieth-century. In the last few decades, advances in technology and shifts in labor and farming policy have altered the way of life for tobacco farmers: family farms have largely been replaced by large-scale operations dependent on hired labor, much of it from other shores. However, the mechanical harvester and the H-2A guestworker did not put an end to tobacco culture but rather sent it in new directions and accelerated the change that has always been part of the farmer’s life. In When Tobacco Was King, Evan Bennett examines the agriculture of the South’s original staple crop in the Old Bright Belt—a diverse region named after the unique bright, or flue-cured, tobacco variety it spawned. He traces the region’s history from Emancipation to the abandonment of federal crop controls in 2004 and highlights the transformations endured by blacks and whites, landowners and tenants, to show how tobacco farmers continued to find meaning and community in their work despite these drastic changes.
