There is not the whole-souled in

difficulty getting the men he had
counted, upon TO turn out. Two
factors may be considered partly
responsible. There Is a marked in
olination on the part of football
stars 70 specialize in that sport, and
Arkansas has popped the boys on

appear much chance OF checking
the Razorbacks as long as their

IL Is holding out admirably. They
are Odd-on favorites right now TO
win their fifth straight title, and
they have played only one practice
game. About all the other six schools
can look forward TO is a merry bat
tie for second place.

DANVILLE, Va, October 1.-THE
coming week is destined to be a critical
one in the tobacco industry of the Old
Belt of Virginia and North Carolina
Unless there is substantial increase
in prices for the raw product, now be-
low costs OF production, the farmers
will send deputation to Washington
in the hope of being permitted to place
their grievances directly before Presi-
dent Hoover.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
already has promised to see President
Hoover and try to arrange the interview
The view here is that the President
will not turn his back on the growers

growers complaint is that they have

has the effect Of holding down its value
:. The expectation had been that the
increased wholesale rate on cigarettes
recently announced would permit of

the Old Belt tobacco markets have
fiuctuated steadily between bare pro-
duction costs and slightly under those
costs.
1t is conceded that the bulk of the
inferior offerings have been absorbed
by the trade during the last two weeks
and that the best grades are now ready
for delivery This week, it is expected,
win reveal whether those grades are to
bring higher price or II the Old Belt
