Urges Quotas
For Tobacco

Smithfield, Sept. 25.-G. T. Scott,
Selma farmer and chairman of the
State AAA committee, listed two rea-
sons here today why farmers are be-
ing called upon to restrict their to-
baccO acreage in 1910.
In the first place, he said, the
forthcoming referendum is being held
to allow the Federal government to
step in financially and sustain prices
of the better grades of tobacco, which
lost their best customer when the
Imperial Tobacco Company of Greet
Britain withdrew its buyers from the
market on September 8.
Also, Scott explained, during the
first six weeks of the 1889 market
ing season, flue- cured tobacco grow
ers sold approximately one-third
more tobacco for 10 percent less
money than during the same period
last year when quotas were in effect.
The Johnston county farmer and
AAA committeeman said that the
government does not feel that it
would be a sound policy to put
money into the 1889 crop without as
surances that the 1910 crop will be
1COC u lCCCO
Discussing the situation before the
markets closed, Scott said: ''The av-
erage price of tobacco for the first
six weeks of the 1889 marketing sea-
son was 1-2 cents per pound less
than the price during the first six
weeks of the 1888 season, when we
had control. At prices prevailing be-
fore withdrawal of British buyers
from the market, this years crop
would have brought farmers not
more than $15O,OOO,OOO, a.s compar-
ed with $175,00O,OOO for the restrict
ed crop of 1888.
''In addition to this loss of income,
farmers suffered complete loss of the
expense incurred in growing over
200 million pounds of surplus tobac-
CO. This expense was heavy because
farmers planted an acreage of to-
baccO about A percent larger than
their 1889 acreage allotments which
were about the same as the 1888 al
lotments."

Plenty Food
Is Urged For
Farm annily

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. 25.
-'Adequate food for the family and
feed fo the livestock is the soundest
farm policy at all times, but it is a
necessity in war times," it was de-
clared today by DR.. I. O. Schaub, di-
rector of the State College Extension
Service Farmers Of North Carolina
should benefit some financially from
higher prices Of grain, cotton, live
stock, poultry and other products,
and they certainly should be the
last to feel the pinch Of higher
prices for food and feed" he salu.
DIR. Schaub made it plain that he
is not advocating large expansions
in cotton paintings, nor is he sug-
gesting a rapid development of COM
mercial hog and poultry production.
Large cotton surpluses must be us
ed up before we can expect to in
crease the size of our crop, and it
takes time to get into profitable hog
and poultry production on a COM
mercial basis" he stated.
However, the Extension director
pointed out that restricted paintings
of tobacco will be necessary in 1910
to enable the government to sustain
prices of the remainder of the 1899
crop. "Therefore," he said, "farm-
ers will have more land available for
other crops next year, and this land
should be turned into the production
of adequate food for the family and
feed for the livestock"
Right now, farmers should turn
their attention to winter grain crops,
DR.. Schaub advised. Emphasis
should be placed on greater yields
per acre, and this can be accomplish
ed by using correct amounts and for
mulas of fertilizers. County farm
agents will be glad to advise farm
ers along these lines, and request
to the Agronomy Department of State
College will bring by return mail the
most up-to-date fertilizer recommen-
dations."

Many of these men achieved
prominence in later life, and three
Of the number, DR.. Mangum and the
late Drs Patterson and Howell, be-
came deans ut the University.
Foot-ball-two words in those
days-had had its start But this
was Association ball and soon gave
way to the growing and more scien-
tific game Of Rugby.
To Trinity college, now Duke
University, went the honor the
same year Of organizing tie vrst
Rugby or modern football team in
the State. President Crowell, Yale
man, introduced the game at Trim
ity and served himself as tutor. A
team was quickly organized at
Chapel Hill to accept Trinity's chal-
lenge, and the two met in Ra-
leigh on Thanksgiving Day with
Trinity winning 1910.
Steve BragaW captained the Uni
yersity team, which was made up
Of seven ''rushers" and four backs,
and Johnston led the Trinity eleven.
In those days a touchdown counted
four points, goal after touchdown
two points, and field goals five
points, and each half lasted As
minutes.
The new game captured the stu
dents support at once, and after the
contest delegates from the Univer-
sity, Trinity and Wake Forest met
at the old Yarboro House to Or
ganize the "North Carolina Inter
Collegiate Foot Ball Association"
Since that first game at the State
Fair in 1888, Carolina and Wake
Forest have clashed on the gridiror
SO times and the major test be-
tween the two big elevens here
Saturday will revive one of the
SOuth's oldest riValries.

First Grid Game In State
Was Between UNC And Deacs

Chapel Hill, Sept 25.-The first
game Of football ever played IN
North Carolina was between Wake
Forest and Carolina, who meet here
Saturday in one Of the headline
contests Of the 1889 season, but that
first game, played at the State Fair
in 1888, was a Tar cry from the
football Of today.
There were Is men on side,
and the game was rough and
tumble affair. The player could
advance the ball in any manner
possible-run with it, pass in any
direction, or kick it on or off the
ground And the ball carrier could
be tackled, tripped, pushed, blocked
or clipped-from front or rear. A
goal was scored by passing the
ball through and placing it on the
ground behind the goal posts. This
counted two points, and whichever
team scored the first goal won the
game.
Smith Barrier tells the interest
ing story of the beginning of foot
ball in North Carolina in his book
"On Cardinals Gridiron"
The University, captained by Bob
Bingham, won the first game. But
Wake Forest caught on to its oppon-
ents' lodges and won the second
and the third, and with it the
match, Ga.
No complete lineup of this first
game has been preserved Among
those prominent on the University
team, however, were Charles S..
Mangum, A. H. Patterson, J. M.
Morehead, George Graham, J. M.
Holmes, and Henry A. Gillian. The
Wake Forest players included w.
"A. Devin, Carey Dowd, E. W.
Skies, John E. White, Hubert A.
Royster, and E. Vernon Howell.

Raleigh, Sept. 25.-Friday won't
be the 18th, but it will be the 29th
of September, which means that
North Carolina State will play host to
the mightest Of Dixie's football
hordes-the University of Tennessee
Volunteers
Come p. m. that day and Major
Bob Neyland, one of the nations
greatest coaches, will put his vols on
the field to begin his 18th year as
Tennessee's football coach.
So, in this case it will be Major
Bobs Friday the 18th.
But Coach Williams (Doc) Newton
and his State College Wolfpack don't
believe much in signs and supersti
tions. Instead they began today to
get ready to do their best against the
thousands of homecomers, who will
be here to begin celebration of States
50th anniversary.
Hard work is ahead of the Wolf
pack, who have only five days
rest from their 1914 Davidson VIC
tory before tangling with Dixie's
most talked-of football machine.
A half-dozen Freshman backs, and
perhaps Babe Wood, who alternated
with Tennessee's ace last year and
is now here coaching the Frosh ball
handlers, will act the part of Blond
Demon George Cafego AS NeWton's

Cafego is expected to lead his team

after having spanked them to the
Southeastern conference and Orange
Bowl championships a year ago.
The tight-lipped, lean-limbed Cafe
go boasts of a tortuous, twisting
ldrive, a dazzling pass and crafty
punt which are all the more effective
because of the teeth-ra ttling block
ing of Sam Bartholomew and Len
Coffman and Bob Foxx, whose main
forte at Wingback is we'll timed
deep reverse that deals thunder and
destruction to opposing teams.
The coming of the Vals already
has attracted such widespread in
terest that advance sales have set
a new high. However, Business
Manager John VonGlahn announced
today that plenty of good seats are
still available at the athletic office
here at State College.
