fused to permit Miss Anderson to
sing in its Observation-Disclosures

"There are those, even in this great

who are either too timid or too in
different to lift up the light that JEFF

1888 Great Year
In This State For
Animal Husbandrv

College Station, Raleigh, April11
Greater progress in the animal
husbandry field was made in North
during the past decade, it was stated
today by l.. l. Case, beef cattle and
sheep specialist OF the State College
Extension Service. He predicted that
1889 will see even greater progress
as farmers develop natural feeding
areas and realize that a diversified
farming program is insurance against
fluctllation of cotton and tobacco
prices.
1.-THE progress made in animal hus-
bandry was especially evident in re-
spect to beef CATTLE" Case said. "The
calls for breeding stock were so nu-
merous and strong that our normal
ly surplus areas were unable to- sup
ply the demand, with the result that
approximately 1900 head of females
were shipped into the State from
beef herds in Texas, Nebraska, and
other western states"
Case said several factors are re-
spOnsible for the unusual interest in
livestock, namely: The Soil Conser-
walton Program is increasing the sup
ply of available feed, the majority
of cotton farmers feel that the boil
weevil and declining market outlets
are sounding the doom of that crop,
and cattle prices have been high in
comparison with most other farm
commodities.
''In addition to increased interest
in greater numbers of beef cattle,
quality Improvement is gaining more
and more advocates each year," the
specialist continued. cit is believed
the All Beef Calf club work, show
yard competition for All Club mem
bers and adults, and better knowl-
edge Of U. S. Standard grades are all
playing an important part in awak-
ening North CAROLINA farmers to the
value Of livestock raising"

Little Change In 1899
In Flue-Cured Demands

Washington, April 1.-THE gen
eral demand situation for all types
of tobacco in 1939-40 probably will
not be greatly different from that of
1938-39, says the Bureau of Agri-
cultural economies. The large 1889
acreage indicated by March l pro-
.spective paintings, however, may
lead to a significant increase in pro-
duction Of some types, particularly
flue-cured.
Flue-cured tobacco acreage in
1889 will total 99O,4OO acres if grow
ers increase acreage by eleven per
cent over 1888, as indicated by
March l prospective paintings.
With 1926 average yields, the
1889 crop would be slightly smaller
than the estimated production of
1856 million pounds, the past year.
With a yield equal to 1888, however,
the indicated area for 1899 would
produce a crop of 872 million pounds.
Demand for flue-cured tobacco
in 1939-4O probably will not be
greatly different from that of 1888
So Prospects for stable or mod
erately improved general business
conditions throughout the remainder
of 1889 make it probable that ciga-
rette consumption will be maintain
ed at its present high level. Stocks
of United States flue-cured in En-
rope are the largest on record and
production within the British En-
pire is increasing, but the total con-
sumption of flue cured leaf q ciga-
rettes and light smoking blends con-
tinue to expand.
Prospective pIantingsas of March
l, indicate a decline of 80 per cent
in Burley tobacco acreage in 1889
as compared with 1888. Assuming
five-year average yields, the crop
would be about 324 million pounds
compared with the present estimate
Of 335 million pounds for 1888.
Stocks on October !, 1889, are ox-
pected to show a slight increase
over a year earlier. A large pro-
portion of the total production the
past season consisted of tobacco of
the smoking grades which brought

bacco on the heavy side, than in
previous years. In view of the out
look for the same or slightly larg-

mand for the 1889 Burley crop is ex-

Prospective paintings as of March
l indicate declines of twelve per
cent in the acreage of fire-cured and
eleven per cent in dark air cured
tobaccos. With average yields per
acre, the 1889 crops would be about
the same as hte record low produc-
ton of 1888. Demand for and dis
appearance Of dark tobaccos prob
ably will continue their downward

Washington, April 11.-(AP)-
With formidable Senate opposition
threatening to reject the appointment
of Thomas r. Amlie to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, Presi-
dent Roosevelt was understood today
to have decided to recall the nomina-
ton.
Amlie, former Progressive member
of the House from Wisconsin, wrote
the President during the day sug-
costing that the latter take such ac-
ton. simultaneously word spread
that Elmer Benson, former Farmer
Laborite governor of Minnesota and
senator, would now get the nomina-
ton.
Amlie, who was defeated for re-
election to the House last fall, was
known to his colleagues as an en-
thusiaStic supporter of the President,
associated with a group of congress-
men whose ideas frankly lay to the
eft of the new deal.
He appeared at hearings before a
subcommittee of the Senate Commit
Zee on Interstate Commerce, where
le said he was follower of the eco
nomic doctrine of Thorstein Veblen
and that he believed in production
-or use and not for profit.
Opposition to confirmation, which
lad already been considerable, grew
% obviously decisive. proportions.
The subcommittee delayed action on
he nomination for weeks, while adj
ministratiOn leaders were understood
% have advised Mr.. Roosevelt that
he should withdraw the nomination
n order to escape a major defeat in
the Senate.
Already this session, Mr. Roosevelt
has been defeated on a nomination
by the Senate. 1t rejected Floyd H.
Roberts to be federal judge for the
western district Of Virginia on the
plea of the two senators from that
State that the nomination was per-
,onally repugnant to them.
