What does remain to be seen is
how much this big increase in
)oundage is going to effect the price
If this seasons North Carolina No.
Cash crop.
Nobody knows accurately how
much tobacco is being planted. The
North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture officials say flatly and with
out hesitation that they don't know
yet, and will not even make an esti-
made for publication before July l.
at least that is the statement made
TO your correspondent by Louis H.
Wilson, publications head and press
relations man for the department.
The State College Extension Ser
yice has tentatively and almost ex-
oerimentally tossed out Is per cent
as the likely increase; but this esti-
mate does not jibe with word of
mouth reports from Eastern North
Carolina people who ought to know
what they are talking about; nor
with what your correspondent has
seen with his own eyes on several
trips into the east.
1t would seem from these sources
that an increase of at least twenty
i've per cent is conservative. State
Senator A. B. Corey of Pitt, said il
IS likely 40 to so per cent in his
neighborhood; Representative Geo
Phillips put the increase at nearly
80 per cent in OnsloW.
The 1938-39 crop sold in North
Carolina amounted to SOL ,641 ,98e
pounds at first-hand sales which
brought an average price of $22. 80
per hundred
Should the increase turn out to be
as great as 25 per cent, then this
years crop will run better thar

Lou Nova
TKO's Baer
In Eleventh

New York, June 2.-(AP)-As
stubborn as an army mule and JUS
as tough to handle, Lou Nova shook
off Max Baers Sunday punches
last night ano beat the former
heavyweight king into bloody sub
mission in II brutal rounds.
His face dripping blood, his mouth
and nose cut. Baer, the madcap
playboy who has clowned his way
through fistic heights for a decade,
came to the end of the trail with a
technical Knockout defeat at l min
ute. 81 seconds of the 18th heat.
Referee Frank Fullam halted the
proceedings with the announcement
the blood from MaX's cut mouth
appeared to be choking him.
Nova Shaken Up.
And Nova, shaken up in the early
rounds, once so confused from MaX's
right hand punches that he walked
to the wrong corner at the end OF
one session, successfully rOcketed
with the victory to a shot at the
heavyweight championship in Sep
temDer.
But it wasn't so much the fact
that the victory shot him to the fore
front of the heavyweight ranks that
was most impressive nor that he
eliminated the merry madcap from
the picture definitely and conclusive
ly. 1t was his gameness in coming
on from those fearful right hand
shots for which Max is famous; talk
ing them and walking right in with
both fists flying-unstoppabl and
determined that nothing, not even the
awful Baer artillery, could stand in
his way.

talnty.
Certainly if the increase should go
beyond the 25 per cent which has
been more or less arbitrarily assuin-
ed, there is even graVer danger to
prices this season; though there are
numerous tobacco growers who
believe that the big cigarette COM
pahies will keep the prices up for
this season, at least, in a concerted
effort to prove that crop control was
a failure On the other hand, such
an eventuality seems very remote to
others who contend that the big con-
Germs will do as they always have
humanity possible
That fears of a debacle are al
ready beginning to agitate congress-
men is shown by the efforts of North
Cardinals fourth district repreSen-
tative, Hal Cooley, who has a bill
in the House enabling the secre-
tary of agriculture to call a control

ton becomes apparent and without
