bv Secretary Herbert C. Hoover
in an address today at the opening
session Of the National Tobacco
Mems convention at the Willard.
Reminding the 500 delegates,
meeting under auspices Of the To-
bacco Merchants Association, that
Il special division has been created
in his department to handle mat
tiers relating to the tobacco indus.
try, Secretary Hoover emphasized
the Importance Of the leaf as an
export crop and the possibility of
increasing shipments by stimulating
demand for the better American
product.
Gain in Trade Important.
Tobacco exports now amount to
or per cent of all our products
shipped" he said. Looking to the
future, this trade is more important
than appears on the surface. While
exports of agricultural products
have about trebled since the war.
largely owing to the failure of pro-
Ill RuCold anu SAC CS~OS~A -
belt of Europe, there will be a re-
covery in that quarter, and a conse-
ouent recovery of markets. Hence.
we must look for a decrease in most
food product exports"
The commerce head foresaw, how
ever, that tobacco shipments might
be increased, especially to those
countries where a government mo-
nopoly exists, and where, he
claimed, consumption is being stifled
because of the very poor smoking
product put out by the government.
Working in conjunction with
special advisory committe. the
Commerce Departments tobacco
division has undertaken a survey
of the whole situation as regards
exports and future market potenti-
alities, Hoover said.

FALL CALVES ARE PREFERRED
Young Animal Develops Sufficiently
During Winter to Get Some
Good From Pasturs.

with many farmers it Is the practice
to have the cows freshen in the spring.
There is much to be said in favor of
fall-calving. In a f~all-calving schedule.
there is usually more available help
for caring for the calf and it gets bet
ter attention during the first few
months of its life. The fall calf is
kept in the barn and is more constant
ly under the observation of the care
taker. so that any disturbance is much
more likely to be detected.
During the winter months the calf
develops sufficiently so that by the fol-
lowing spring, 1t is old enough to get
some good from the pasture. A six
months-Old calf cannot, however, de-
pend entirely on pasture for It's feed.
Flies and hot weather are particularly
bad for the little calf and spring calves
suffer a great deal because of them.
1t requires a great deal of care and
attention to give the calf n proper
start. Such attention is seldom given
when the crops are being put in and
cultivated. There are other practical
advantages of fall freshening which do
not directly affect the calf. The dairy
farmer can usually plan his breeding
so that the majority of his calves will
be dropped at the most favorable sea-
son of the year.
