LESS ACREAGE SEEN
IN TOBACCO GROWING
Farmers Setting Aside Greater
Proportion Of Land for Cotton
Than Formerly.
RECORD IN STATES CITED
Probable Depletion of Pipe Am
munition Somewhat Extensive.
BY j. e.. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star
NEW YORK, April 29.-The army
OF tobacco users is being steadily
countries. But there Is n possibility
that the ammu2S~1on which will load
their pipes cigar and cigarette hold
ers I'm not be SO plentiful in 1924.
dhe reason for this is that some of
the Virginia planters have not been
entirely faithful to their first love
and are flirting with. cotton.
Tobacco experts estimate that Vtr~
ginia farmers are setting aside 10
per cent less acreage TO be cultivated
to tobacco this year than in 1929, in
spite of the fact that factory demand
Is strong. prices good and fertilizer
cheaper than last year. Last year
many farmers planted cotton on their
tobacco lands and, since the plants
were not infested with boil weeNil,
they made money Many have come
Fame this year with additional old
tobacco land and increase their
profits.
Depletion fn Virginia.
John j Owens, assistant commits
sfoner Of agriculture of Virginia,
who has just completed survey OF
the tobacco growing states, declares
that the Virginia acreage might
drop from 100000, the amount culti-
waited last year, to 10. 900 acres. In
North Carolina South Carolina and
Georgia, however. the acreage Is ex-
pected TO be slightly larger, accord
ing to Henry NJ. Taylor, federal stat
lStician stationed with the Virginia
department Of agriculture. This
tendency is especially noticeable in
lima is going to have one final fling
at cotton in spite of the boil weevil
and hence will not go in so strenu
ously for tobacco cultivation
Fertilizers are costing the farmer
about S5 ton less than last year,
but this has been an influence in IA
Nor of planting cotton as well as to-
hacco. Planting has been somewhat
delayed by vet weather, but tobacco
men now Will begin shortly to put in
their crops.
Prediction Is Discounted.
There is no reason to foresee any
decrease in the manufacture of to-
bacco. according to 7. NJ. Caring
ton, president of the Tobacco Associa-
tion Of the United States. He esti-
mated that $l.600,0 600 900 worth of to-
bacco products was manufactured
and sold at retail last year. He ex-
poets no general reduction in prices,
although tho American Tobacco Com
pany mas recently cut the prices OF
some brands slightly.
Even If there were to be serious
depression in business" he added,
tobacco would not suffer materially,
for people buy it whether they are
rich or poor, working or idle"
The tobacco grown by Virginia
farmers last year returned them
about S3O.000.000. although prices
were not quite so high as in 1929, as
the quality was not so good. Bright
tobacco brought an average of $50 a
hundred pounds, as compared with
tobacco averaged SIS. or sS hun
dred less than the previous year.
Practically all the 1928 crop now has
left the farms.

Negotiations for Sale Of Hungarian
Bank Shares.

NEW YORK. April e9.-Negotia-
can bankers to assist in the sale OF
shares of the Hungarian National
Bank, Ltd, a central bank of issue
which is to be created under the
auspices of the league of nations.
The bank will be capitalized at So
GOO, 900 gold kronens, about $4,000, 900.
and shares will have par value of
100 gold crowns. Sale of the shares
will mark the first step in Hungary's
economic rehabilitation, which. it is
expected, will be aided BY an interna-
tional loan.

in that state, brought growers about
$l0,000.000. Indications ire the Penn
sylvania acreage will be about the
same as last year, as shortage of
seed is operating against an increase
in planting. The 40,S00 acres cultivated
last year yielded 53,0S4,490 pounds.
The value of the crop can be esti-
mated from the fact that the average
yield from tobacco lands IN Lancaster
county last year was S247 an acre.
The government benefited to the
extent of s350,o00,00O last year from
the taxes on tobacco. Cigar consump-
tion has fallen off materially since
1913 and amounted in 1928 to 6,723,-
$4,000. Another increase in cigarette
production is predicted for this year
in view of the sales of the first quar-
ter, although this is not expected to
be so marked as in 1928

Less Revenue in March, With De-
crease in operating Expenses.


BALTIMORE, April 90 (SpeciaD.--
Operating revenues for March OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad show
big drop, compared with the returns
for the corresponding month year
ago, according to figures just made
public Railway operating revenues
for the month were $3,071,304 less
than those reported last year, while
for the three months the shrinkage
was $5,372.9S0.
1t is noted. however, there has been
progressive decrease In expenses
with the exception of maintenance
of way and structures, which, for the
three-month period, shows an In.
crease of s1.210,000. 1t is explained
that, while the maintenance program
for the current year is approximately
the same in the aggregate as the pre-
ceding year. owing to the open sea-
son and favorable conditions, a larger
amount of work has been accomplish
ed in the three months of the year
and a larger proportion of the
charges taken up in the period, which
will he reflected in lower proportion
ate charges later on in the year.
