TOBACCO GROWERS
HOPE FOR BREAK
World Has Enough Flue- Cur.
ed Leaf To Last For Al
most Four Years
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor,
N. G.. State College

RALEIGH, Jan. 81. - R- With
fingers crossed North Carolina to-
bacco growers are seeding their beds,
hoping for some unexpected "break'
that may brighten the now gloomy
outlook for 1910 leaf prices.
Under "canas" covers which are
dotting the countryside more gener-
ally as January lengthens are the
tiny tobacco seedlings, but emerging
in a world that has enough flue-cur-
ed leaf to last for three years and
nine months.
At no other time in history have
manufacturers held more than a
three-year supply on hand, however,
the bumper crop of! 1889, largest in
history, dumped LOO, DOC, 900 pounds
of flue-cured leaf on the market
The crop was approximately one
fourth larger than the previous rec
ord crop of 1887 and is about $685.
600, 900 pounds more than will be
used in the current year.
Last year growers of North Caro-
lima and other flue-cured states pro-
| Juced their crop unhampered by tri
plea quotas. Realizing the serious
| ness of the situation, the farmers
voted restrictions on themselves fol
1910.
North Cardinals share of the 194(
crop as melted out by the AAA will
Re 500, 1874 acres. This, at an aver
age production Of SIT pounds of leaf
to the acre, will produce 446,S61,O0C
pounds. Instead of using poundage
quotas as has been the case under
past control programs, growers will
produce their leaf on an acreage
basis this year. They will be al
lowed to market all the tobacco they
grow on their allotted acres.
Actually, according to AAA au.
thorities, the nation needs less thar
a half crop of flue-cured tobacco
this year. The national acreage al
lotment is between 100000 and $780,
900 acres. At a low yield Of SOC
pounds to the acre, the crop woulc
produce around 600, 000, 900 pounds o.
leaf; at a higher yield of 900 pounds
to the acre, 675, 000, 900 pounds would
result. Present indications, the AAA
men point out, are that it will be
extremely difficult to market at rea'
sonable prices this much tobacco
next fall.
1--WE know" said E. Y. Floyd, AAA
executive officer at State college
that the 1910 allotments look small
to practically all tobacco growrs. ARD
they are small. However, the COM
mittees have done their best in di-
viding among growers a greatly re
duced national allotment.
"All growers need the income from
a larger acreage of tobacco" he con-
tinued, 'but tobacto-growing is not
going 10 be profitaole unless the eX'
cess supplies are USED"
The State college man said that
the best thing for tobacco growers
to do is to participate in the conser-
walton program, play safe by plant
ing about 10 per cent less than the
acreage allotment, qualify for the
maximum payment under the agri-
cultural conservation program, and
grow the food and feed crops they
need for the people living on the
farm.

narians, a number of cases OF
sterility has been overcome.
"Artificial breeding has prevented
any spread of disease through the
use of a sire because all methods
have been artificial and only steril.
lied equipment has been used.
"Statistics show that n bull i'm
proved the fat test of his daughters
over their mothers by approximately
four-tenths of one per cent. On the
milk check, this means one-third tt
one-half cent a quart for every
quart produced When we consider
1000 daughters for this bull means
an increased dairy income for own
ers of these daughters of 1888 a
day, or more than $12, 900 a year
This is in addition to higher milk
yields.
Dairymen Approve
Records show that a large per-
centage of dairymen who previously
owned bulls, most Of which were un'
proved, have discarded them and
are using proved sires provided
through artificial breeding units"
One of the units has set uu the
first laboratory-barn at Clinton, N.
]. Two residents Of it, Career and
Alice. will have fathered GIG and 4O6
offspring, respectively, during the
first Is months of the program.
Through test tube" breeding,
these and the other proved bulls are
producing, in one year, 10 times the
number of offspring an ordinary
bull would produce in a lifetime.

BY DEWITT MACKENZIE.

The heavy defeat administered
to the Italians at Sidi Barrani by
British and allied forces, coupled
with the Fascist debacle in Greece,
has vastly altered the complexion
of the battle of the Mediterranean
and, consequently, Of the war.
We can say that the advantage
in this all-important Mediterranean
area has. for the moment at least,
swung to the British. Moreover,
whether they are able to capitalize
their victory at Sidi Barrani and
invade Italian Libya. the fact re-
mains that already they have
struck a telling blow at the Fascist
power of attack in Egypt and all
Northern Africa.
1t is important to keep in mind
that Mussolini's purpose in invad-
ing Egypt was to drive through to
the key position of the Suez Canal,
thereby smashing BritainS grip on
Egypt. Success of this operation
might have spelled the end for
England.
Communications Are Cut.
And defeat of the British was
becoming increasingly necessary
for another reason: The British
blockade had cut communications
between Italy and its forces in
Africa, thereby creating a serious
situation for the armies which had
no way of replenishing supplies or
getting reinforcements.
Not only was Marshal Graziani's
lifeline severed, but so were those
of the forces in Italy's East African
possessions.
Mussolini looked to Marshal Gra-
ziani to remove this menace That
hope vanished for the time being
with the defeat at Sidi Barrani, and
the Fascist African armies face a
precarious existence.
Already the moral effect of the
victory is apparent in many coun-

tries. The people of Britain, hard
pressed by the German bombing
and submarine campaign, have been
tremendously cheered. Quite the re-
verse is true in Italy, where the
facts of the recent Italian reverses
in Greece and Africa are beginning
to become known.
Rome newspapers are warning the
public against false news Of imagi-
nary catastrophe" for Italian arms.
They charge that British agents are
spr eading propaganda in Italy in
an effort to destroy Italian morale.
All this indicates concern as to the
attitude of the people
OF equally grave concern to Italy
and Germany must be the question
of whether the morale of the Fascist
troops in Africa will stand this
smashing defeat on top of the sew
erance of the vital communications
with Rome. The great number of
prisoners captured by the British
and the rapid retreat of the other
Fascist forces emphasize this point.
Power of Resistance Shown.
One of the most striking aspects
of this whole situation is the as
tonishing power of resistance and
recovery exhibited by the British.
Six months ago, when Italy entered
the war, John Bull was rocking on
his heels, as close to being knocked
out as possible and still keep his
feet.
At that time great posters dis
played to the Italian people pic
ture of three knots which we're max
ing Italy a prisoner in the Mediter-
ranean-Mare NoStrum. Those knots
were the British control of Gibraltar,
the Suez and the Dardanelles. Jubi-
liant Italy was about to cut those
knots
Now the Italian defeat in Greece
has given Britain and her allies the
great island of Crete and other bases
which protect the Dardanelles. Mar
shall Graziani's drive for Suez has
been knocked into a cooked hat.
Spain, casting weather eye over
the growing British strength, is
withholding cooperation with the
axis in the projected assault on
Gibraltar.
The three knots still hold. Just
so long as they hold, Britain will
remain undefeated by the axis, and
the threat to Italy will multiply
rapidly.
