Meanwhile tobacco growers are re-
ported to be planting greatly increased
acreage in Kentucky. Those in the
central part Of the state, Commission
er Cohen declared, "are tobacco crazy"
He said some farmers had rented land
at 5000 an acre to grow tobacco. with
the cost of production now $3.50 an
acre." he continued, "as compared with
$50 to $85 few years ago, this would
make the initial cost $3.50 an acre be-
fore furrow is turned. Growers can
not hope to profit with tobacco at 20
cents pound, which we fully expect,
and the production 300 pounds an
acre."
On the other hand the university bul-
letin expresses the belief that taking
into consideration the abnormal con-
ditions In the tobacco market, the out
look for next years crop appears very
favorable.

Nine and Three-Tenths Miles of
Ships Produced in District
in Year.
HIGH SPEED FROM START
One Hundred and Twenty-Five More
Cargo Ships Delivered Than From
All Other American Ways In
the Same Time.

WaShingtOn.-Nine and three-tenths
miles of clean-cut cargo ships. That
is the latest official report on the con-
tribution of the Great Lakes district
yards to the American merchant ma
rine. Held by canal restrictions to a
lighter type Of vessel than that made
on the coasts, the district did not pro-
sections. But it built more ships than
any other district in the United
States.
On September 1, 1917, the Great
Lakes started to build for the govern
ment. The first ship turned over to
the United States shipping board
came from Great Lakes yard. She
was the Limoges, a 2,930-ton cargo
carrier, under construction for French
operators by the Toledo Shipbuilding
company. On August "a, 1917, the
Ninth district was created. 1t turned
the Limoges over to the shipping
board on August 30.
They had not permitted the grass
to grow under their feet for some de-
cades in that region of busy commerce.
Now they saw to it that the ice did
not grow under their ships. To beat
not only the Hun but also the winter
season was the first big task which
the Ninth district faced. By almost
superhuman effort the yards finished
27 vessels and got them to sea before
tho canals fpO1o in 1917
Production Rose Steadily
When navigation opened in 1918
another fleet of 20 ships slipped newly
built from the yards and went through
the canals to the sea. From that date
the Great Lakes production rose
steadily until month after month the
district turned out half the steel ships
built in the United States, and some
times more than half Efficiency and
energy combined in a veritable cru
sade of endeavor, and in November,
1918, the district touched the high
point of it's capacity. In that one
month it built a fleet of % ships
nearly ship day.
This astounding output brought the
total for the year up to 1853 cargo YES
sells, one of them wood and the rest
steel. In II months the Ninth dis
trict had produced just 125 more
ships than all the American yards de-
livered in the year before America
went to war.
Any narrative of the Great Lakes
work is a progress from one shining
triumph of this sort to another. The
smallest yard of all, fitted with only
three berths, actually delivered 13

these are now completed and fifth
