WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. tUP)
Farm administration officials to-
day planned sharp reductions in
the 1888 cotton acreage 10 pre-
vent a repetition of a record crop.
This alone will not solve the
problem as the AAA soil conSer-
vation resulted in a greater yield

Officials expect the crop to con-
tinuc high because tire best land
is planted in cotton and farmers
are seeking big yield because OF
acreage restriction.
Reduction by At least ten mil

CHINESE QUIT
SHANGHAI IN
VIRTUAL ROUT
Native City, Jap Establish
ments Left to Invad.
ers in Flames
FALL BACK 10 MILES
TO NEW POSITIONS

Copyright, 1887, United PresD
SHANGHAI, Nov. Q. CuP)--
Chinese today were believed TO be
withdrawing rapidly from their
last stronghold on the southsidc
of the city, and when all are gone
Japanese will be in possession.
The Chinese cracked after as
tonishing resistance and are re-
treating fast on the west side as
Japanese ferried tanks across
Soochow creek to barricade that
region.
Chinese had hoped to form new
lines at Sunkiang, II miles south
of Shanghai, but japanese took
that city first.
Now experts believe Chinese
will take up a position 10 miles
west Of the city.
Japanese are making "clean-
up" of the Shanghai conquest,
trying to isolate the city from all
Chinese and were dropping bombs
on retreating Chinese.
While the main Chinese coll
umns fled westward at pace that
was almost a rout, a handful Of
comrades grimly stood their
ground in Pootung area, appar-
emily constituting another doom
ed battalion"
Chinese troops abandonment of
tkn SAAohnu, nrnaly arna l,rantlN
west of the International settle
ment, virtually ends the second
Shanghai war" as far as the pop
ulous foreign residential sectors
are concerned.
The Chinese forces, attacked
from the north and south, were
said to have begun a general
withdrawal at 2 a. m. southward
in the direction of besciged Sung
kiang and westward toward Nan
ziang, completing the evacuation
by dawn.
A large section Of Nantao, Chi
nese native city adjacent to the
French concession, was in flames.
Japanese charged that the Chi
nese started the fires before re-
treating. The important Japanese
owned Toyada mills. factories,
houses and the rail depot were
burning, endangering the French
concession as a brisk north wind
sprang up.
Japanese troops advancing
westward sent their advance
guard across the Hungiao road to
occupy the Hungjao airdrome,
wnere two Japanese were killed in
August, precipitating the present
strife.
The Chinese were reported yes
terday to have withdrawn from
Pootung, Chinese industrial area
across the Whangpoo river from
the settlement. Although thous-
ands of "dare-to-die" soldiers
were left behind, the main body
marched southwark to meet Il
Japanese army of some $4,000
men advance northward from
Hangchow bay.
Thus far the first time since the
bloody Shanghai war began in the
streets Of Chapel on August 10,
the fighting was carried beyond
the immediate Shanghai area,
eliminating the danger to thous-
ands of foreigners within the
city.
Foreign military authorities
confirmed that Chinese forces had
evacuated their positions along
the entire western perimeter
around Shanghai, including posts
on the Shanghai-Hangchow rail-
way.
1t appeared that Lieut.-Gen.
Iwane Matsui, supreme Japanese
commander, had succeeded in
carrying out his announced pur-
pose of driving the Chinese out
of the Shanghai area by tonight.
The japanese, determined on
complete encirclement of Shang-
hal, smashed against the walled
city Of Sungkiang, II miles south
west of Shanghai, and occupied
it.

Raleigh, Oct. ia number of re-
novations at the State Fair ground
have been completed in preparation
Tor the throngs expected to visit the
annual exposition starting today, Man
ager ]. S. Dorton announced today.
Addition of emergency housing IA
cilities provides a total of $4,000
square feet of exhibit space, every
inch of which will be utilized, Mar
agers Dorton said. 1t represents the
largest reservation the State Fair ever
made for exhibits.
The once-open machinery building has
been enclosed and given a modern
istic front. Commercial exhibits will
be housed here, with the interior ap-
pearance enhanced by entries in the
flower show. Great tents will cover
other Industrial exhibits, including
farm machinery.
One of the most useful additions to
the grounds equipment is "a wide board
walk extending from the grandstand
to a point beyond the poultry build
ing. This convenience eliminates the
necessity of visitors walking in the
narrow roadway used by motor We
hicles. It also provides dry walking
in case the grounds become muddy.
Midway attractions provided by the
World of Mirth will be tented in the
area. back of the grandstand instead
of their usual space in the main CEN
ter of the grounds. This latter section
has been plotted for exhibit displays.
Exhibit barns have been repainted,
and improvements have been made to
the appearance Of the front of the
building and grounds.
Ample parking space will be pro-
vided within the grounds by utiliza-
ton, for the first time, of an eight
acre field back of the cattle barns.

BULLDOGS WORKING
FOR NEXT CONTEST
Bethel Hill Comes Thurs
day; Rideout Stamping
Himself as Center

Plenty of work was dished out yes
terday to Henderson high school Bull
dogs and another generous helping OF
the same variety was in store for the
SQUAD this afternoon as they prepared
to meet Bethel Hill here Thursday
afternoon at $3.50 o'clcc-- on the high
school athletic field.
This will be the second conference
test for the locals, Apex already hav-
ing trimmed the Bulldogs.
Dunn, first string quarter, has been
missing from the past two tits. ana
may not be able to see action against
Bethel Hill. Dunn's absence from the
lineup caused Coach Bing Miller to
make several changes in his lineup.
and in doing so, Miller uncovered one
of the best centers Henderson had had
in many moons, Robert Rideout. This
boy is rather light, but he handles his
offensive position perfectly, and is a
bulwark on defense, backing up the
line with all the power of a bigg full
back.
Rideout's work in the past two
games has been outstanding. i. His
timely tackling has kept the Bulldogs,
from yielding yards that might have
meant the difference between win
or loss.
