AVERAGE CROPS
SEEN IN n. E,

RALEIGH, June 14.-P)-An
"about average" crop year in acre
age and production was predicted
for most North Carolina crops in
a mid-year report issued today by
the State Department of Agricul
ture.
While cool weather and less than
average rainfall in May served to
retard the growth of most crops, a
record production of oats is expect
ed, tobacco production will be
above average, and truck crops
generally will be adequate, the re-
port said.
The mid-year forecast, issued by
tie departments crop reporting
service, said that the harvesting
OF early truck crops was rapidly
being completed. The spring cab
bage crop has been harvested and
marketed, and the movement of
early Irish potatoes to market is
we'll underway.
Here are some of the highlights
OF the report:
Tobacco stands are bete- than
average for June, but growth was
slow in May and considerable
'buttoning OUT was reported. Acre
age will total abuato $4,000, com
paired with $4,000 last year.
The stands and growth of corn
are Irregular, but prospects are
still favorable. Farmers experience
ed difficult. in obtaining stands
and considerable replanting was
necessary.
Among fruit crops, peach pros
poets declined slightly but a good
crop is anticipated from the sand
hills area. The commercial apple
crop was nearly destroyed by an
April freeze except in the brushy
mountains and in a few favorably
located orchards in other rnounta n
counties.
Other crop prospects,:
Wheat-prospects point to a re-
duction of approximately $500, 900
bushels, or % per cent, under last
years crop. A harvest of 6,412,000
is expected, compared with last
years record crop of 1928, 900 and
the 10-year average of 6,1l2,000
bushels. A sharp reduction in
acreage for harvest, together with
lower yield prospects, a shortage
of labor and unfavorable weather
conditions, will cause the decrease
Oats-cool weather during May
was favorable for the growing of
oats and the crop is now expected
to be slightly larger than last
years record return.
Barley - Early spring freezes
severely damaged the barley crop
and many farmers diverted their
acreage to Monogram uses. Pro-
duction is now indicated at 1854, 1000
bushels, or rs per cent less than

Yet England, we must remem-
Der, is the ancient center of free

in England there is so much doubt
and opposition to making another

what will be the disposition of the

one of which is now committed
to varying degrees Of collectivism?
1t will be, We may be sure, that
if America-which alone still be-
lieves intellectually in free en-
terprise-prefers not to make the
difficult experiment of restoring
free enterprise on conditions to
which the others have only reluc-
family agreed, then the old inter-

garded as dead, and all their ener-
gies be concentrated on organizing
a new and radically different one.
