Many Changes To
Come In Farming

Now that the war is over, many
changes in farm production in
North Carolina will be necessary
if heavy losses, similar to those
suffered after the last war are to
be avoided, says the sixty seventh
annual report of the Agricultural
Experiment Station, recently re-
leased by Director L. D. Baver.
The report cites the 80 per cent
increase in peanut acreage as
compared with pre-war years as
a good example of what has taken
place in many phases of crop pro-
duction. The acreage devoted to
truck crops has been increased by
about one-half.
The increase in hens and pull
lets has been considerably more
than SO per cent, and indications
now point to a large surplus of
eggs and poultry meat during the
corning year.
Tobacco growers should be on
the alert for ways of increasing
the quality of the crop and of re-
ducing production COSTS" the re-
port suggests. "This holds true
not only for tobacco but also for
all crops and livestock products.
| AT the present time additional
attention must be given to pro-
ducing- that quality of cotton most
needed by the domestic market"
The report calls attention to the
need for more dairy cows in North
Carolina but suggests that a large
portion of the increase in the
number of animals be used for
family milk cows to improve the
general diet of the farm popula-
ton.

 SPARKS JUNIOR
 LOOP THUS FAR
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, May 9-CUP)-There was mounting evidence today that the American league is stealing some thunder from the National as the circuit noted for fine pitching.
 There has been a great deal of excellent mound work in both cir cults this season but most of it has been in the American. To date there have been 25 games in which the pitcher has doled out four hits or less and IT have been in the American.
 There have been Is four-hit games, II in the American and five in the National. Three of the four three-hit jobs were in the Ameri- can, and one of the two two-hitters was by an American leaguer. There have been three one-hit games al- ready, two in the American and one in the National. Last year there were only four one-hit games during the entire major league season, al- though there also were three mo- hitters. two by Jim Tobin of the Braves and one by Clyde Shoun of the Reds. No one has pitched a no-hitter so far this year.
 Nice Mound Job
 Nelson Potter of the Browns was the latest to turn in a superlative performance. defeating the Wash ington Senators, 2 to l, in a three hitter at St. Louis last night. After George Case got an infield hit in the first inning on which he even- tually scored, Potter held the Sen- ators hitless until the ninth. The Brownie ace, who led the team with 19 victories last year. struck out seven Senators in gaining his second 1945 triumph.
 The Browns got to knuckle-baller John Niggeling for three runs in the second, Len Schulte bringing home two with a double, the third being scored on wild pitch. Two doubles and an error provided three more runs in the third.

Horse Racing Ban Lifted By Tnson Today
OPERATORS GET
 C0-AHEAD SIGN
 FROM WAR HEAD

Washington, May 9-UP)-The government ban on horseracing was revoked today, effective immediate ly.
 The decision was announced by Fred M. Vinson, director of war mobilization and reconversion at a press conference in the White House shortly before noon.
 The ban was imposed last Jan- uary by James F. Byrnes, Vinson's predecessor.
 Vinson said that while racing is now permitted, transportation re- strictions in effect at the time the ban was imposed will continue un- disturbed.
 ODT regulations at the time the racing ban was made effective pro- hibited any special transportatio for spectators to sporting events or for personnel and animals partici- pating in racing or other sporting events. Normal means of transpor- tation available to the general pub lie could be used either by specta- tors or by owners who wanted to transport personnel or animals.
 The OPA regulations mean that only tracks easily accessible will operate. Thus such. tracks as En- pire and Saratoga in New York, Lincoln Fields and Arlington at Chicago, and Bowie in Maryland, which are located in remote areas, again will shift their meets to more centrally located tracks.
 With the transportation restric- tions still in effect, the Kentucky Derby again will be a street car" affair as it was last year with at tendance limited to those living within a limited radius of Louis vile.
 All the transportation curbs were in effect when racing, the only sports industry blacked out by the war, was banned on Jan. 3.
 Vinson said the racing ban was an emergency measure deemed necessary to conserve manpoWer, to save power and essential materials to prevent unnecessary overburden- Ing or the alreaQy heaVly taxed transportation system.
 But, Vinson recalled, the report which Byrnes submitted to congress shortly before his resignation said that the racing ban, the curfew and some of the other curbs on wartime living should go after VIE day.
 Race tracks throughout the na- ton were ready for the good news. Most of them are expected to re- open within a week or 10 days. Prep arations already have been made to run the top three stake races for three -year-olds, the Kentucky Derby at Louisville, the Preakness at Baltimore and the Belmont Stakes at New York.

mines. This must be a record of
 some kind. They are: Captain Louie Alexander, later captain at
 University of Rochester; Jim LoWney, later captain at the Uni versity of Vermont; John Ross, later captain at the University of North Carolina; Dick George, later captain at N. Y. U.; Bobby Cavanaugh, later captain at Washington college; Nippy Dunne, later captain at Manhattan col lege; Marty Mcdonald, later cap tain at Villanova; and Joe Null vile, later captain at Catholic university.
 At that time, Joe said, inter est in baseball ran fever high and Brassco park, where we played then. was packed at every en- counter. And the fans were treated to some first rate baseball" he needlessly added From 1917 to 1920 the Crosby tam dropped only six games while winning close to 6O."
 Although that was before the Val ley league was started, the Blue and White ranged far and wide for it's taking on most of the big high and prep schools in Con- necticut. They even went out Of the state to engage the PaWling, N. Y, prep school squad. They were good, too,' said Joe. T remember they gave Us our only defeat in Is games and beat us again the next year"
 Crosby played Wilby for the first time in any sport in 1920 at the BrasSco park diamond. The score" Joe smiled, was 8-0."
 Joe still maintains his interest in sports and rates Louis Afexan- der as Cr0sby's all-arcund athlete. Alexander was a superb pitcher and earned letters in four sports while at Crosby.
 You may know his battery mate. Marty Mcdonald" Joe said. Marty was great backstop and probably the best I've seen around here" MT. Mcdonald, Crosby economies teach CT, was later captain of Villanova' S nine and played few years with Waterbury in the Eastern league.
 Frank Hogan, famous New York District Attorney, also played on the 1919 team, holding down the third base position, Joe said.
 As for this years team. Johnny Reardon impressed Joe with his classy playing at first base.

 Says the Argus of May 7th:
 With another baseball season at hand comparisons will again b. made between this years nine and past Ivy squads. Crosby has turned out many strong teams. but prob ably it's chief contender for all- time baseball honors was the 1919 crew.

When seven members of the SAME high school baseball team are good enough to become COLLEGE CAP TAINS of baseball, that. I should think is something for the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown. However, it remained for Joe Mulville, a handy little guy with bat and glove when he went to school, to bring out that fact, in relation to the great Crosby baseball club of 1919. When Crosby and sports is mentioned it's usual
 ly basketball that gets the greater crescendos of CHIN MUSIC, but here's what the Crosby Argus got from the popular mortician and jolly good fellow, relative to base ball and Crosby when basketball was just sport to keep in shape

 By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, May 9-UP)-Cmdr. Jack Dempsey in his blue Coast Guard uniform sat at little white clothed table in the bar of his Great Northern Hotel and said;
 This fighting in the Pacific is so tough--so rugged-that 1t almost knocks you out, just looking at it, just feeling it. It's the toughest fighting there ever Was-particu- larly for American boys who are used to bearablc surroundings.
 Dempsey wasn't celebrating VIE day much. He had just returned from a three months trip around the world. with most of his time spent in the Pacific where he saw plenty Of action while landing on an LST boat during the invasion of OkinaWa.
 The Old ManaSsa Mauler contin- ued, If I hadn't seen the things I saw I never would have believed them-that the Japs are crazy fanatics-W7o don't care what hap pens to them, just So they kill you. And that living conditions are gen. erally almost unbearable because of tfe heat. insects, bad water and questionable food You can hardly sleep because of flying and crawling things. And If you don't get sick you're lucky"
 But what about boxing in the Pacific, the reporters wanted to know
 "Well-they have some boxing at the replacement centers like Guam and Manila. Naturally, you can't have any boxing up at the front, where you can't gather a crowd for any reason-Where you can hardly stick your neck up without getting shot by snipers.
 But when the boys are sent back to the replacement centers. they crave boxing because generally there's nothing else to entertain them. We need more good boxers in the Pacific replacement centers. Joe Louis and Billy Conn should be sent over there to help relieve the boys of boredom, During the in- tervals between fighting life becomes very tedious-wilen a fellow never sees a girl, can't get a drink and has no entertainment"
 But now that the European war is over, didn't Dempsey believe that Louis and Conn should be given fur loughS so that they could fight pro- fessionally for themselves and make some money?
 No, sir" Dempsey declared. Louis and Conn and other big time boxers are needed now more tran ever before - to entertain the boys in the toughest part of the war we have faced yet"
 What about boxing in the United States, now that the European vic tory has been achieved?
 Dempsey said every stimulant should be given to professional box ing in the United States for two req sons: G To provide U. s. enter tainment for the boys who return from Europe on furlough or mus tered out, and @ To develop top- flight talent that can entertain all the boys when Japan is conquered and boxing enjoys the biggest boom in history.
 Dempsey will return to his post as head of the physical education department at the Manhattan Beach, N. Y. Coast Guard base, after brief leave Meanwhile he is figuring out ways and means of helping the boys in the tough Pacific area.
