TOBACCO CROP IN STATE
 LESS THAN ANTICIPATED
Hail Cuts Down Poundage But Total Will Be Greater Than
 For Last Season

Prospects for cigar type tobacco on September 1 were for crop to- talling 15e,636,000 pounds compared with 17o,62S,o00 pounds expected a month ago and 161,S42,000 pounds harvested in 1929. This outlook is 6.6 per cent less than expected a month ago and IA per cent less than harvested last year, in spite of "A per cent increase in the acreage planted to this crop. Drouth damage in the western states and hai damage in New England are the l.rircipal causes of the reduc- tion in prospects.
 In New England weather condi- tions during August were unfavor- able to the growth and maturity of the Connecticut valley tobacco crop. Hail storms extending up into Massac achusetts did considerable damage to the sun-grown varieties vana seed. The damage was com plete in some instances and has re- duced yield prospects considerably. Total production for the valley this season is placed at 40.152,000 pounds compared with 3S.6S4,000 pounds harvested last year and 43,- 572,0O0 pounds the five-year aver age 1924-192s.
 The Pennsylvania tobacco crop has been reduced materially by drouth and is expected to total ST. 9o5,000 pounds compared with 47,- 601,ooO pounTs harvested last year. In Wisconsin the tobacco crop is expected to total 46,oo0,oOo pounds compared with 45,14o.oo0 harvested last year in spite of a material in crease in acreage over last year.

parallels that in the south. The Ger

Americans can get better idea of
Persian geography by imagining the
country loosened from its position on
the map and slid half way around the
world in the same latitude band. If its
southeastern corner were brought to
rest at the southeastern corner of Texas,
much of the western part of the trans
planted Persia would fall in a region
with terrain and climate not unlike its
own. The new Persian Gulf port, Ban
dar Shapur, would fall approximately
at Nogales, Ariz. The Persian Caspian
coast would lie southeastward from
great jalt Lake, Utah.
THE great size of Persia is apparent
when its map is thus superimposed on
that of the United States. 1t would
cover more than half of Texas, all of
New Mexico, most of Arizona and large
parts of Oklahoma, Kansas Colorado,
Utah, Nevada and Northern Mexico"

ARGENTINE POLITICS
IN TEST AT POLLS
Government Opposition Will Vote
Tomorrow in Drive for Majority
in Chamber of Deputies.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOs AIRES, March 1.-The Ar
gentine opposition parties will bring all
their strength to bear at the polls to-
morrow in the national congressional
election with hope of obtaining enough
seats to destroy the majority which the
Yrigoyenist party now possesses in the
Chamber of Deputies.
BY virtue of its ability to form its
own quorum. the Presidents party has
been able to ride rough-shod over its
opposition during the past Is months,
and political observers of both camps
profess to believe there might be a
change in the situation in tomorrow's
voting.
1t was considered doubtful however,
whether the combined efforts of the op-
position parties would be sufficient to
shake the power of the Yrigoyenistas.
The opposition was particularly bitter
with reference to three districts and
charged that in the past fortnight
gangsters in the pay of federal inter-
ventors had been holding up electors on
the public thoroughfares and raiding
their homes to confiscate their military
enrolment books, without which they
cannot register to vote.
They charged, too, that many of their
leaders have been jailed on purely tech
nical offenses.
One-half of the Chamber of Deputies
of 158 members will be elected.
