step is to determine normal market

then be adjusted as may be necessary

Of tobacco. Consideration will be
given the total crop land on farm,
the acreage of cash crops other than
tobacco, the available curing barn
space, and the number of families on
the farm, it was said.
Taken into consideration also will
be marketings made during the past
three years. The highest of these
three items will be used: Cd the three

sum of the two highest years in the
three-year period, or 90 sixty percent
Of the highest year.

per cent of the national quota. Those
with no past marketing history will
benefit from this order. A four per-

allowed for increases in poundage for

Throughout the present growing

be held by the markets division OF
the State Department of Agriculture,
according to information received
here today.
Arrangements have already been
made by w. p. Hedricl1, tobacco mar

other counties will be reached as
rapidly as possible, it was explained:
"These schools will be designed bet

marketing problems" Hedrick ex-
planned. when the farmers are edu-
Gated to the fact that sorting is one
of their most important problems,
then they will be in a better position
to expect the maximum price for their
product The Importance of sorting is
emphasized by the fact that on one
North Carolina market the buyers
walked off the floor when they found
tobacco so 'jumbled that it could not
meet the standards demanded by
manufacturers"
In order that those sections most
desiring the sorting schools may be

THE story of Leo Niko1ayevich A Tolstoy is one of the most contradictory in all literary his- tory.
 A Russian count, playboy of the court society toward the last of the era of serfdom. he developed a deliberate peasant viewpoint. Already master in the field of the novel, portraying the life of the gentry as he knew 1t, he turned in middle age to portray the seamy side of Russian history.
 Looking back on his early life as recorded in his diary, Tolstoy was first inspired to write. His first work, Childhood" (1852) was an immediate success. Dur ing the next decade he found new motivation in the life of the army. But finally he married and settled down to literary pursuits in earnest. -
 About 1876 he began to feel dis taste, even revulsion for his pros- porous state. So the Tolstoy who was once a count became a disciple of new social order. He taught the state is best when all men love each other and that the rich had built up a corrupt and artificial civilization which must be eliminated.
 Toward the end the author of the masterpieces, Peace and War" and "Anna Karenina" turned peasant, learned bootmaking and

Clutched in his right hand was a pistol with one empty chamber His wallat and watch were missing Be- side the body was crudely printed note dated July %. It read There's nothing left for me.

 Police termed the note a fake, de- clared Berger had been murdered and set to work to find the killer. After questioning the entire staff of the apartment hotel in which Der ger died, police concentrated on four suspects. Three were employees of the hotel-the maid who found the body; the manager of the building and an elevator operator The fourth was a friend of Ber- gers who had visited the murder victim the day of the tragedy.
 When police were unable to ob- tain confession after hours of questioning, they decided to try a handwriting test in the hope that the killers penmanship would betray him even though the fake suicide note was printed. Police read to the suspects the text of the note as quoted above, and each printed it verbatim. But after reading the note printed by the elevator opera tor they charged him with the mur- der.
