ACREAGE LISTING TO
HELP GROWERS
Tobacco farmers of North Carolina
will benefit directly from tbe recent
state law requiring assessors to list
the acreage of each farmer's crops,
says M. O. Wilson, Secretary of the
Tobacco Grower's Cooperative Asao
, ciation.
In an interview at Raleigh head
quarters of the Tobacco Growers Co
operative Association yesterday, Mr.
Wilson expressed the hope that to-<
bacco farmers would give every as
sistance to the tax assessors whose
official statement of the acreage of the
planted crops will so cltfcrly -indi}
cate production as to protect trie
farmers against the ever repeated
claims of over-production used by
speculators and buyers to beat down
the price of tobacco regardless of
whether there be under-production or
over-production.
"Information hitherto unobtainable
by the tobacco growers but carefully
compiled by those who buy his to
? bacco will be at his disposal hereafter
provided he cooperates whole-hearted
ly in supporting the present effort of
the state to aid him in gaining accu
rate crop estimates which have noth
ing to do with any increase in taxa
tion," said Mr. Wilson.
In line with the recent editorial in
the News and Observer pointing out
that an annual census of crop acre
ages bears the same relation to agri
culture as an industry that an inven
tory does to other forms of business.
Mr. Wilson said, "The farmers of
North Carolina and Virginia are tired
of hearing the old cry 'Wolf!', 'Wolf!'
with which the speculators have al
ways tried to scare the growers into
sacrificing their products.

Lone Mar Stat* aa Maiden Voyage to
? Aid American Sea Commerce
Captain Engages Orchestra
to Play Jan.
Maw York.?Keen competition baa
developed in the race for supremacy
on the seas. The lateat addition to
the Seet that is keeping the American
flag to the forefront In the aea com
of the- world Is the steamship
Lone Star State, recently delivered
from her builders to the United State*
Lines, which has Just sailed on her
maiden voyage to Bremen.
In the Lone Star State, as In other
passenger carrying vessels constructed
under government supervision, the ele
ment of safety was of prime considera
tion. It Is declared that the new liner
Is practically unslnkahle. Originally
planned as a transport and later desig
nated to act aa a hospital ship to bring
hack American wounded from Prance,
the Lone Star State was built torpedo
proof as nearly as human ingenuity
could make her.
The vessel has thirteen water-tight
compartments. Shipping men who
have inspected her have declared that
even If she were cut In twain each
half would remain afloat.
From the standpoint of comfort, noth
ing has been left undone to make her
s luxurious vehicle for sea travel. She
carries two claasea of passengers, first
and third. Full attention has been
given to the cuisine and amusement fa
cilities on the Lone Star State. The
chefs and the kitchen personnel have
been carefully selected with a view of
rivaling the dining service of a first
class hotel ashore.
Captain Frank T. Burkhart, who la
Impresario as well as navigator, said
before he sailed that he bad adopted
aa his slogan "A has ennui," which
properly translated means a Filipino
orchestra of twenty-two pieces. Every
member of the orchestra saw service
In the United States navy during the
war. The captain said they were not
only at home In Jazz, but that they
could venture as well Into the realm of
grand opera. He promised plenty of
dancing on the decks in good weather.
