NC-4 ARRIVES
AT AZORES

Three giant SeaplapeS of the Amer
iGan Navy-the NC3, NC4, and
NC1, rose late today from the wa
ters of Trepassey Bay and headed
for the Azores to make by air in
the twentieth century journey as
dangerous as that Columbus made
by water APT years ago.
Commanded by Commander Jno-
G. Read, and Lieut.. Commander P. N.
Belinger the planes left their moor
ings at the head of Trepassy harbcr
and TAXED toward the narrows.
Then, rushing into a westerly wind,
they took the air. The NC3, the
alag ship rose at 1892, the NC-4
two minutes later. and the NC1 at
7:'41 New Foundland time, which

of New York time.

starting on their epochal voyage.
The seaplanes shaped their course
towards Corvo, westmost fnsland
of the Azores, from which they ex-
pected to fly to Horta, on the Island
of Fayal, where they will descend
if weather conditions or mechanical
difficulties make it necessary, but

way Beach, N. Y, the planes home
station, to Plymouth, England, is
the only one which will require any

The planes were expected to

miles an hour, although they are
capable of making 80 miles if cir

j The NC4, which was left behind
at the start by her sister craft be-
cause of engine trouble and arrived
here from Halifax only yesterday,
was in the air today almost as soon
as the flagship, rising after a swift
25-minute cruise about Matten Har-
Dor.
The NC1 made two unsuccessful
| attempts to leave the water, while
Commander Townes' plane scared
above it and the Taxing NC4, but
it rose nine minutes after the flag
ship and followed in the wake of
the others which headed for the
East as soon as it took the air.

Heartily in Favor of Cam.

The State.
! Washington, March 3.-Representa-
tive Lever, chairman of the commit
tee on agriculture, when asked if he
indorsed the movement to hold cot
ton OF the present crop and to re-
duce the acreage for the coming crop
said
'"The South is facing a situation
critical in the extreme. The present
crop of cotton has been produced at a
cost below the quotations Of the fu-
ture contract. Nothing is going to
save the value of this crop, certainly
for the next few months, and until
the signing Of the peace treaty. except
! the determination upon the part Of
the producers backed by every in
torest Of the South, to refuse to sell
at existing prices. If the South en-
ters upon this determination and
sticks to it without the least wayer-
ing, there can be no doubt of the
ultimate result We have had four
short CROPS Of cotton. The worlds
demand for this produce far exceeds
the available supply. The slump in
the price of cotton is due to num-
Der of causes which are being elimi-
mated from time to time and will
! cease completely to exist as sooH as
the peace treaty has been signed and
world conditions have resumed nor
, NAL.
IF the South could realize that
there are powerful influences, not
, only to beat down the price Of the
present crop but to fix the basis OF
| the price of the next crop at very
| much lower figure than the intrinsic
value of that crop will be. am sure
there would be no hesitation upon
the part Of every class Of interest to
join with the farmer in his effort to
save himself and many Of our final-
cial institutions from ruin. This can
be done if our people will make up
their minds to do it.
| Coupled with the holding move
nleat Of this crop must be a vigorous
campaign to reduce the acreage OF
| the next crop. The South planted
something like 100000 acres of cot
| ton for the crop of 1918, and except for
! the unprecedented drought in Texas
I'VE would have been faced with tho
calamity of 100000 or 100000
! bale CROP If our farmers shall re-
tpeat for the 1919 crop what they did
for the 1918 crop, nothing on earth
can save them from low price cotton.
Their safeguard, against this is sane
! reduction in acreage. For Is years
! have preached the doctrine OF max
ling every farm in the South self sus-
tanning, which would result necessar-
fly in making the South masters OF
their great cotton crop.
[ 81 join, most heartily and indorse
most emphatically the campaign
which is being waged today thorugh-
out our State in behalf of these tEo
movements"
