Recognizing the great food value of rice and it's extremely low cost per unit of productive energy the United States of Soviet Russia has included rice growing into its Five Year Plan," and in 1930 began sue cessful experiments in the province of Bira Bidjan in eastern Siberia, announces the research department of the National Rice Association, Lake Charles, Louisiana. This new rice territory lies north of the Amur river and Manchuria, between north latitude 47 and 50 and longitude 13O and 134 east at Greenwich. There are about 4O,OOO hectares (9S,80O) acres in which the soil and climate are suitable for rice growing. A branch expe- riment academy has been estab- Iished in Bira Bidjan for the study of rice, with trained men in charge. All farming operations are being carried on under the supervision of experts in American farming and in the use of American ma chinery.

He says he remembers when the

I'm afraid / can't recall the exact
year." Brown, one time restaurant
proprietor reflects, "but I remember
the first pitcher to use q curve, Andy
Cummins Of the Cincinnatis. A COL

claiming that it vas impossible to
throw q curve ball. Cummins took up
the argument and they put on an ex-

"Cummins had three stakes driven
in the ground about 80 feet apart, the
middle one q bit out Of line. Then he
curved a ball between them"
Among the old timers that this ma

Morris who, according to Brown, was
probably the first player to use a toe

Brown was stung by the baseball

EXPORTS OF MARYLAND
TOBACCO ON INCREASE
Ry the AasocIatad Press.

By the Associated Press
Exports Of Maryland and Ohio leaf
tobaccos during the flrst quarter Of this
year increased more than 1000 900
pounds, approximately 78 per cent,
while total exports of the entire country
declined 8 per cent as compared with
the first three months OF 1880, accord
ing to the Department of Commerce.
The departments report pointed out
that considering the depressed economic
conditions which have prevailed in
many nations of the world, the United
States export trade in leaf tobacco has
Jared very well during the first four
months of the year."
Exports Of tobacco products, how
ever" the report said, have been
affected much more adversely Is the
lowered purchasing power Of the for
eign nations, combined with their in
crease in tax rates, has driven many
consumers to cheaper products and
forced American manufacturers to move
their plants into foreign lands"
Total leaf exports during the first
four months Of this year amounted to
184, ,O0O, 900 pounds, q decrease Of 9 per
cent, compared with the corresponding
period of 1890, but an increase Of IL
per cent over 1929.
A notable feature of the leaf tobacco
export trade, the department said, was
the increase in export stems, trimming
and scraps. More than 5000 900
pounds of this commodity were shipped
during the quarter, a quantity double
that shipped in 1880 and treble that of
1929. China was the principal buyer,
with prices ranging cents over the
1880 figure.
