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. COMONEWS Mn. M. A. Smith was a week-end visitor in Suffolk. Messrs. Boyce Whitley and J. O. Smith, and Mrs. J. B. Whitley were visitors in Suffolk Tuesday. Mr. E.T.

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. .

CARE RUINS FISHES' 'MORALE' t Protected Salmon Grow Too Tame, Canadian Parliament la Told by Expert. Ottawa, Ont?Government fish hatcheries have rained the "morale" of the salmon of British Columbia, ac cording to the story told to the house of commons by A. W. Netll. It seems that when the salmon come Into the world at the fish hatcheries they are guarded against all enemies and lfr. Netll says they lose their protective in stinct. 80, when the salmon has come of age and is sent out In the cold world he is as "tame as a cat," to quote Mr. Neill, and when he meets an ene my he "stands with his mouth open and accepts murder as if such a thing were foreordained."
