Tobacco Crop Cheers Southern States
North Carolina Makes Remarkable Gain
General Business To
Benefit as a Result
Charleston. S. C.. Sept. 12—Their
-product will e;o up in smoke, but
farmers in the south Atlantic states
aie not worrying. It will be another
profitable season for their crop—to-
bacco.
The farmers, who had waited for
the opening of the South Georgian
markets to indicate the price trend of
the year before making any predic
tions. now are convinced the crop
will pass last year’s, which was con
sidered profitable.
The opening prices on the Georgia
markets early last month were high
er than in 1934. And to lead further
encouragement to the "rowers, the
pi ices on South Carolina markets
confirmed the good news of the Geor
gia markets.
Best Year in Decade
Observers s"y that if the mice
upnds alreadv noted a*'e continued
into the productive territorv of Vir
ginia and North Carolina, it will be
the best tobacco vear in a decade
.And with prosperity amor" the to
bacco ?row°rs. will come ad/*ed bene
fits throughout the remainder of the
rer ; on.
Growing conditions this vear hano
been unusually good. Alon" with
tha.t is tbe improved quality of the to
bacco. The Georgia crop, it is esti
mated. has ir'"">a«ed from 34 000 000
pounds in 1934 to 50 000.000 to GO,-
000 030 pounds this year.
The market prices thus far aver
age approximately a few cents a
pound higher than they did in 1934,
when virtually a 100 per cent in
crease over the 1933 depression levels
was recorded.
Crop Increase
While the early market prices have
brought on a spirit of optimism in
the more southern regions, it is still
Questionable, observers say. whether
the prices in that section will hold up
in the heavy-growing states, North
Carolina and Virginia.
Crop prospects have been good in
both states, especially in Virginia, and
aoreage is larger. Production in.
North Carolina, it is said, may in
crease 100.000.000 pounds over the
1934 mark of 557.000,000 pounds.
The United States produces, ex
ports. imports and consumes more to_
bacco than any other country in the
world. It produces approximately 35
per cent of the world’s crop. The
chief uses are for cigars, cigarets,
smoking tobacco for pipes, snuff and
chewing.

The host and hostess’ mother ser- j

MOST POTENT LINE
Critics believe the most “lasting"
paragraph in President Roosevelt’s
defense and summary of his admin
istration in a letter to Roy Howard,
newspaper publisher, was this:
“Congress declined to broaden the
tax batse because it was recognized
that the tax base had already been
broadened to a very considerably ex
tent during the past five years
The broadening of our tax base in
the past few years has been very
real. What is known as consumers’
taxes, namely, the invisible taxes paid
by people in every walk of life, fall
relatively much more heavily on the
poor man than on the rich man. *
“In 1929 consumers’ taxes repre
sented only 30 per cent of the na
tional revenue. Today they are 60
percent, and even with the passage
of the recent revenue bill the pro
portion of those consumers’ taxes will
drop only five percent.”

fact that hundreds of thousands of
drivers are applying for their licenses
almost two months before the dead
line after which a enalty of $1 will be

drivers of the State favor the law
and are doing their utmost to coope

The belief is growing steadily that
the psychological effect of the drivers

towards bringing about safer and
saner driving with a corresponding
reduction in accidents. For those

may be revoked. Licenses may be
suspended for eight specific causes
and revoked entirely for seven speci

Application blanks will be mailed

owners registered with the licenses

that he would arrive by the middle

It has not been decided yet where
the operating offices will be located,
but it is expected that the main of

or Goldsboro, the western terminus
of the 106 miles of line comprising

days to build up his organization to

The chief opposition to Borah will
be the Hoover-Knox forces. Gover

be in the background in the begin

compromise candidate. That is the
opinion of more than one political
writer.
Herbert Hoover’s choice (next to
himself) undoubtedly is Colonel

Issues, however, are not so simple
as that.
Simplicity is confounded by the
complexity of modern economics, plus
the intricacies of a world-wide so
cial evolution.
Every farmer, every worker, every
business man talks economics these
days. And the social problems that
one group denounces are demanded
by another group.
That, to a large degree, aids Borah
Tie can and does talk on every side
of social and economic problems.
Whether what he says is helpful to
a solution is another matter. But,

No one knows.
It would be a pretty pass, though,

of Republican conservatives —a coali
