ing Spades, Especial
ly in West, for Secur-
ity of the Reich.

Nurnberg, Germany, Sept. 7.-(AP>
Adolf Hitler told Germary's con
script-labor army today that its
spades, being welded in the east
north and south, but especially in the
west, Frances borders--were
playing a vital part in defense of the
Reich
"You are fighting for the defense
of the Reich and it's independence, "
he told 10000 labor conscripts as he
stood in pouring rain. His speech
was the climax of the annual labor
rally, main event of the third day OF
the annual Nazi party congress.
Most of his audience interpreted
his reference to the work of labor bat
talions, respectfully in the west" as a
public admission that they have been
perfecting Germany's Notifications
facing France. Many considered it
an indirect reply to Frances calling
If reserves into her MAGNET line.
Your spade creates new soil be-
sides securing the DID," Hitler declar-
ed. your spade is being welded for
securing and maintaining the Reich. ;
Before speaking, Hitler stood for
80 minutes to review the march past
of the 10000 youthful labor conscripts.

Praha, CzechoslOvakia, Sept. l.
(AP)-The text of the new conces-

eminent hopes to end it's dangerladen
dispute with the autonomy-demand-
handed to a leader of the Sudeten
party today by Premier Hodza.
The ceremony took place in an un-
certain and pessimistic atmosphere.
In the absence of the Sudeten Frehrer
Konrad Henlein, who left last night
to attend Nazi Germany's party rally
at Nurnberg, Hodza made the presen-
tations to Ernst Kundt, Henlein's lieu
tenant.
This marked the fourth set of "sug-
gestions" made by the Praha govern
ment in recent weeks in the hope of
composing the quarrel which-because
Adolf Hitler has proclaimed himself
protector of the Sudetens-is troub-
ling all Europe The first three were
directly or indirectly rejected by the
Germanic majority.
1t wa sofficially admitted that the
fourth plan" offered virtually COM
plete self-government in local affairs
to three German districts to be set uu
under a projected system of cantons;
that officials would be chosen from
various nationalities within the state
in proportion to population; that To-
cal police would be locally COM
manded, and that, in so far as prac-
ticable, languages of the minority
would be placed on basis of equal
ity with those of Czechs and Slovaks.
It was understood the three Ger
man cantons would be in North Be-
hernia, with a population of 100000;
West Bohemia, population 100000, and
a narrow elongated border region
with population of 100000.

TOBACCO IS CHIEF
n. {. FARM INCOME
20 Percent Of Flue-Cured
Crop Grows In State;
Worth $143 Millions
BY w. HI. RHODES.
Chief Statistician, N. C.
nonorfn1auf Of a o-ripuIfJIrn

In 1887, North Carolina produced
nearly 70 per cent of the total flue-
cured tobacco crop of the United
States, and the States crop was over
36 per cent of the nations total fer
all types, according to the estimates
Of the crop published by the Depart
ment of Agriculture on July II.
The cash income to North Carolina
tobacco growers during the calendar
year of 1887, amounting to over $143,-
100000 was nearly So per cent of their
total cash income from al sources
thus, since about 1927 the farm pic
ture in North Carolina has been UNI
dergoing rapid changes in the adjust
ments of crop values.
In 1910, the States cash income
from both cotton and tobacco totaled
only $66,543,O00, of which tobacco re-
presented only II per cent. In 1919, the
year following the close of the World
War, the cash income for the State
from these two crops totaled $343,376.
600, of which tobacco represented over
40 per cent, In 1927, the comparative
income from tobacco had increased to
IS per cent of the total of both crops,
and in 1887 the tobacco income was
over 70 per cent of the total of the
two crops. From 1910 to 1927 the
States cotton crop was it's chief
money crop. Since 1927, the two crops
have exchanged places in this respect
This rapid increase in tobacco in
come is due primarily to the sharp in
crease in demand for cigarette types
which began during the World Wal
and has remained on higher leve
than other types since the war.
Keeping pace with the increasin!

TRAINED INFANTRY SENT
INTO LINES ON FRONTIER

Paris, Sept. 7-(AP)-A new mill
tary order issued by the war minis
try today sent trained infantry re-
serve troops into the Maginot line at
the frontier opposite Germany for a
21-day period.
The order notified reservists, their
exact number not determined, to re-
port Immediately for duty at the same
concentration points where they fin
ished their regular two-year military
service only three weeks ago. The
instructions were received shortly
after the government announced its
"requisition" of the port of Marseilles
placing the most important Mediter.
ranean inlet for French-African troops
and supplies under military control.
The order was said to concern only
infantry fortress troops of the second
class, the lowest military class. (The
Maginot defenses generally are said
to be at normal garrison, with 100000
men, but officers in the zone say that
100000 would be a conservative esti-
mate of the garrison's present streng-
tn. This figure did not take into ac-
count of the new order).

Young Group
To Take Slap
At The Purge

In The Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, Sept. NORTH Carolina;
Young Democrats, in convention as
sembled at Durham, this week, viii
probably take an indirect slap, a.
least, at President Franklin D. Roose-
velt's so-called party purge"
Which is not to say that the Y. DIS
will grow so bold and rebellious as tc
adopt resolutions directly condemn
ing FDR for his efforts to GUST Mil
lard Tydings, Walter George, ano
others from the national legislative
councils; but in most of the speeches
there are almost certain to be back
hand cracks at the presidential plans
and policy.
This is made almost certain by tbs
identity of the speakers who viii
make the "key" addresses.
For instance, there's Bob Thomp-
son, the governors secretary, who
will sound the keynote at the Dur
ham sessions. Governor Clyde r.
Hoey hasn't said so publicly, but
there's absolutely no doubt in any
ones mind that he is opposed to the
purge" and it's dollars to dough
nuts that Bob will voice some such
sentiments somewhere in his. talk
Not that Bob is going to have any
such instructions from the governor
nor that he hasn't any opinion OF his
own, but on this particular subject
his views and those of Clyde r. Hoey
are exactly the same, and it's hardly
likely he'll pass up chance to all
them.
And then there's Josiah w. Bailey
who beyond any shadow of a doubt
would be one of the most determln
edly sought "purgees" if he were VI
for reelection this year. The senior
senator from North Carolina is dowl
for an address and it's certainly no!
too far fetched to deduce that Josiah
W. is likely to have something to sa,
on the subject.
AS a matter of fact, one of the lively
question is just how anti-Roosevelt i
the Y. D. C. gathering going to be.

Tobacco represents more than 5O

all other farm commodities, 1t mas
been relatively neglected in our mar
keting program.
With the appointment of w. P. He'd
rick, who has had two decades eX-
perience in the tobacco industry, Tar
Heel farmers have been given full
time tobacco marketing specialist by
the North Carolina Department OF
Agriculture for the first time III MIS-
tory.
The cooperation between the buy
er and seller together with the CO.
ordination of approved marketing me-
thods as promoted by the depart
ments marketing division, have re-
suited in substantial returns on the
investment in a tobacco marketing
specialist.
Offhand, it would seem that farm
ers, over the long period OF time
they have devoted to the culture OF
flue-cured tobacco, would have per-
fected their own marketing. But due
to the constant changes and improve
ments in the manufacture of tobacco
products, growers have not and could
not have been expected to keep pace
with the complex processing prob
lens.
We are satisfied that our tobacco
manufacturing changes OF the TO-
bacco industry. And the TOBACCO
specialist is abreast with selling ano
marketing phase of the departments

economic welfare of our farm life.
