ACCORD WITH U.S.
Would Welcome Agreement
To Halt Flow of War Ma
terials to Axis Powers

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 1s.-R-A
high government official said today
that President Manuel Avila Cana
cho's administration would welcome
an exclusive arrangement with the
United States which would dry up
the stream of essential war metals
now flowing to the Axis from
Mexico.
The idea is that the United States
should purchase the republics entire
production to build up reserve
stocks.
In diplomatic quarters It was re
ported that such a program is being
studied by the American government
but that no decision had been reach
ed because statistical information Is
not complete.
The official informant said the gov
eminent was deeply concerned over
Mexico's part in supplying the wal
machines of Tokyo and-as is gener-
ally believed-Berlin, but that moth
ing could be done by Mexico alone to
change this, because the mining in
dustry is hard-pressed.

BETTER GRADING
OF EGGS URGED
One of Major Defects of N. c
Poultry Industry Is Poor
Packaging of Products

RALEIGH, Jan. 19.-One of the
major defects of the North Carolina
poultry industry Is the lack of care
in grading and packaging products,
especially eggs, Roy S. Dearstyne,
head of the N. C. State college poul.
try department, said today.
The great bulk of Tar Heel eggs,
he continued, find their way to the
market in an ungraded condition
which is reacting against consump.
ton of the product.
Clean, uniform eggs in an attrac,
tive carton are an incentive to the
purchaser, the State college poultry
man pointed out. Little time is re-
quired to grade eggs and cartons are
not expensive.
Another must" on the poultry.
mans list should be the keeping Of
accurate records on his flock's per-
Torrance. No producer, ever the
farm flock owner, should fail to keep
a close check on his birds, since rec.
ord-keeping is the only reliable meth
Cd of determining whether a return
lis being made on an investment.
eff attention is given to detail, and
the owner will approach his prof.
lens intelligently," Dearstyne said,
the poultry industry will make dis
tinct progress to it's true place in
North Carolina agriculture
Brighter economic conditions as a
result of the national defense pro-
gram have caused many farmers to
consider expanding their poultry pro-
gram. However, Dearstyne warned
that the step should be taken eau
tiously or the venture may result in
failure.
First essential in the expansion
would be the buying of good quality
chicks. Then adequate housing mus,
be provided, and a balanced died fed
Above all, the birds should be man
aged so that they remain healthy
and produce well.

said today.
"Tar Heels harvested their record
crop from an estimated 1880 acres
which yielded a production of ap'
proximately 6,132,oo0 bushels" he
said. 1.-The 1910 acreage was reported
only three per cent above last year.
but the increased per acre yield re-
suited in a 20 per cent increase in
total production compared with
1885,"

wheat crop is largely confined to
the central or Piedmont counties,
commenting that there r about 20
counties that usually produce over
100, 900 bushels each year with Row.
an, Stanly, Union, Iredell, Randolph,
and Cleveland counties holding the
lead on the basis of 1898 figures"
Although wheat is not classified
as one Of the states leash crops"
many farmers produce large quaint
ties for sale.
The federal-state crop reporting
service estimated the value of North
Cardinals 1910 wheat crop at $5,641,'
900 or 81 per cent above the 1889
crop value of $4,641, 900.
1.-THE states acreage Of winter
wheat, seeded in the fall of 1910 for
harvest in 1941, is estimated at 1885,
900 acres" Wesson said. This is an
increase of seven per cent above the
acreage seeded in the fall of 1889.
The condition as of December 1 was
81 per cent of normal compared with
II per cent on December 1, 1889.
"The United States 1910 wheat pro-
duction is estimated at SIG, 1898, 900
bushels or nine per cent greater
than the 1899 crop. Incidentally, the
harvested acreage is only $1,000
acres larger than the 1889 harvest.
The production increase for 1910 is
explained by the increase in per acre
yield from 14.1 bushels in 1899 to
1873 bushels per acre in 1910.

u. S. Expresses Regrets
In German Flag Incident
Note Concerning San Fran
cisco Incident Is Received
by State Department

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Up -
The United States expressed to Ger
many today it's regret over an Ameil'
can sailors ripping a sWastika flag
from the German consulate in San
Francisco.
The flag, run UP in observance OF
the anniversary of the founding OF
the German Reich in 1871, was
snatched from its ninth-floor staff
yesterday by a man identified by po-
. lice as Harold Jack S%turtevant, ~,
recently a fireman ql the U. S. de-
stroyer Craven.
This morning a note concerning
the incident was received by the state
department from the German embas-
{. sy. Promptly, the department replied
/. expressing regret.
@ The exchange was not made pub
I: lie, but a department spokesman said
the embassy was advised that an In
q yestigation presumably would be
p, made by San Francisco authorities.
Such a statement under circumstan-
ces of that nature is followed Gus
totnarily by a report of the investi-
cation, once it is completed.
In diplomatic usage, an expression
of regret is just that and not an
apology. Ordinarily. a government
dose not formally apologize for an in.
cident if it regards it as the act of
an individual.
Sturtevant and a companion, book
ed as E. G. Lackey, %, formerly a
seanan on the destroyer Perkins,
were charged by San Francisco po-
lice with malicious mischief. They
were docketed to appear before Po-
lice Judge Alfred J. Fritz tomorrow.
The navy also was investigating,
but Lieut.. Marshall Smith, aide to
the 18th naval district commandant,
said it would have nothing to say un-
til the facts are sifted."
