The plaintiff is a cooperative marketing association, organized under “The Cooperative Marketing Act” of this State, chapter 87, Public Laws 1921, the constitutionality of which was sustained in Coöperative Asso. v. Jones, 185 N. C., 265. The defendant is a farmer engaged in growing tobacco in Surry County. Under the standard marketing agreement, entered into between the parties, the defendant agreed “to sell and deliver to the Association all of the tobacco produced by him or for him or acquired by him as landlord or lessor, during the years 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926.” The defendant concedes that he has not complied with his agreement. He alleges fraud in the execution of the contract and seeks to avoid it on this ground. From a careful perusal of the record, we are unable to discover any evidence to support the defendant’s allegation of fraud. For this reason, his defense must fail. Pittman v. Tob. Gro. Asso., 187 N. C., 340. Allegation without proof is unavailing, unless admitted or not denied. Dixon v. Davis, 184 N. C., p. 209.

The record presents no reversible error, hence the verdict and judgment will be upheld.

No error.
