.\li Street Work
Held Up for Day
By Morning Snow
All street work in connection with
(he re paving of Garnett street ceas
ed today as the result of the all-night
rain and the-inch of snow that fell on
top of it early ni the forenoon. The
temperature was down to near freez
ing. hot the flooding of the ditches
during the hard rain that lasted prac
tically all night long was the thing
that held up the work, for the most
part,
CVVA workers laboring under city
supervision in renewing sewer and
water mains, and the crew employed
by the contractor doing the re-paving
all shared alike in losing a day’s work,
or at least all of the forenoon, and it
was thought il would be impossible

Intentions of Growers To
Plant Revealed in Govern
ment Report
The smaller acreage of tobacco
since 1914 is in prospect for 1931. as
indicated in the reported intentions of
growers to plant as of March 1.. The
forecast is contained in the report of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
Crop Reporting Board, which says
that, if these intentions should mater
ialize, the total acreage of tobacco
for the United States this year would
amount to 1,305,600 acres, or approxi
mately 25 percent below the 1933
acreage, and v« percent below the rec- J
ord acreage grown in 1930.
Decreases in acreages as compared
with last year are indicated for all
classes of tobacco except cigar filler
and wraper, both of w r hich apparently
will be Increased slightly. 1
Flue-cured tobacco growers report
intentions to decrease their tobacco ,
acreage to 74 percent of that har- J
vested in 1933 Based on the ume vised
estimate of acreage for last year, thk?
ndicates an intended planting of
677,900 acres in 1931. Low acreage dur
ng the postwar period occurred a
follows: In 1921. 611,500 acres; 659.-
>OO acres in 1922;. and 618.000 acres
n 1932. During each o ft he years 1928
o 1930, fluecurcd plantings exceeded
a million acres.
The North Carolina shows farmers’
intentions to plant in the sum of 172,-
900 acres, or 70 percent of the acre
ige harvested in 1933. when 673.000
teres were harvested. The State grew
• 70.000 acres in 1932 and 698,0000
tores in 1931.
Burley growers report an intended
ccrease of 35 percent, and Maryland
t percent. Os the air-cured types,
hie-sncker shows an intended de
cease of 11 percent, and Green Ftivcv
8 percent below last year’s harvest
’d acreage. Virginia’s sun-cured
hows an intended increase of 22 pci
cent.. Five-cured tobacco * growers
how an intended reduction of 85
percent of the area harvested in 1933.
jr from 174.000 acren harvested in
1933 to 147,600 acres to be planted in
1934.

Henry Grissom, route three Oxford,

derson. This was in error and this
paper gladly makes this correction.

Warning Against
Inferior Seed In
Soy Beans Sales
College Station, Raleigh, March 20.
Quantities of inferior soy bean seed
are expected to flood the markets
thi/s year, G. K. Middleton, extension
seed specialist at State College said
today in warning farmerls to be es
pecially careful in buying the seed
this spring.
A short crop of legumes was har
vested in 1933. This fact, togethei,
with the increased demand for seed
this year, Middleton said, will prom
ally bring on the market all avail
able beans, good and bad, and some
seed unadaptable varieties from oui
of-Statc sources.
Good germination and varietal pur
ity are the two most important fac
tors to consider in buying seed soy
beans of a chosen variety. With the
exception of some of the black seea
varieties, such as Otootan or La redos
the varietal purity of most beans can
be determined fairly accurately by
examination of a sample. The ability
to germinate, however, can be de
termined only by actual tests.
K’s What-at a Glar^
HINGTONU wor LP X l^g
By CHARLES I*. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
Washington, March 20.—A sea-pow
er race between Britain, the United
States and Japan apparently is in
evitable.
France and Italy also will be in the
contest, but not as serious contenders
Russia, as a competitor, is not to
Ibe reckoned with until later. Ger
many likewise may have to be con
sidered some time in the future, but
not now.
The 5-5-3 ratio (5 for Uncle Sam,
5 for England and 3 for Japan),
which thoortically, though not very
literally, has prevailed, by mutual
agreement, since early in the 1920’5,
evidently is to go into the discard, as
soon as Tokyo can terminate the bar
gain in due diplomatic form.
COMPARISON DIFFICULT
There really is not much use in try
ing to compare navies on any mathe
matical basis.
It is mighty difficult to compare
different classes of ships with one an
other, as an initlial consideration.
That is to say, for example, how
many cruisers are the equivalent ol
how many first-class battle craft?
How many destroyers or submarines
equal bow many plane-carriers?
Moreover, how old, on an average
are one country’s fighting vessels as
.against some other country’s aver
age? And how is the average arrived
at?
The size of a country’s mercantile
marine counts too.
In one respect a big merchant fleet
is a liability; the bigger it is the
more protection it requires. In an
other respect it’s an asset; a, fast liner
ca.n be converted to many useful war
purposes.
GEOGRAPHY AN ITEM
Georgraphy is a factor which mu- ’
lie taken into account.
The British, in armament negotia
tions with Uncle Sam, always have
been willing to allow plenty of small
cruisers tut inclined strictly to linn,,
the number of the respective nations
huge battleships.
This, of course, is because John
Bull has an assortment of naval sup
ply stations widely scattered over the
whole globe, while the United States
■has comparatively few outside home
waters. Thus a little British cruiser,
with a fuel-carrying capacity of only
a few days, needn’t worry; it is as
sured of a fresh stopping place not
much farther on. to refuel and other
wise refresh itself under its own flag
- whereas an American vessel must
be equal to a long voyage between
ports, necessitating considerable size.

Washington, March 20. The Roose
velt administration has lost consider
able ground the past few weeks -as.
least .in Washington. The 9t. Law
rence treaty defeat was an incident.
It plays no part in the larger pic
ture. The ground lost concerns labor.
Industry, to a greater degree than
realized, has refused to be “dictated’
to and the administration refuses to
resort to “force,” at least so far.
There should be no mistake, the Presi
dent has the power.
President Roosevelt manifestly is
TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1034
eager 1 to please all groups. He is anx
ious to avoid any odium of dictator
ship. In the meantime, however ,his
sub-bosses, such as General Johnson
of the NRA, merely exhort and de
nounce.
There is every indication that the
President will remain conciliatory ana
“middle the road.” All his plans will
collapse unless he can persuade indus
try to continue to look ahead, to de
velop, to provide more and more joo*.
He could readily force corporations
to comply with codes —but he could
not force them to continue opera
tions. unless the government took
over industry “in the common good.’’
Radicals say the President will be
forced to come to this. But the ma
jority see no such action likely.
There is more likelihood that the
government will continue to edge its
way into the banking business until
it is furnishing commercial loans on
little security.
PRICE RISK
Labor is forced to appeal for aid
because of constantly advancing liv
ing costs.
The Roosevelt program-—which is
strongly nationalistic —succeeds only
as jobs and wages rise to meet In
creased living costs.
The increase in living costs is sup
posed to accrue to the fanner.
The increase in costs of industrial
operation is supposed to be leveled of
by smaller profits, smeller salaries for
executives, elimination of unfair com
petition and squeezing the “water”
