STUDENTS AT TRINITY NUMBER 640 FOR YEAR ACREAGE CUT MARKED IN EASTERN PART OF STATE Ranges From 50 to 60 Per Cent, Traveler Firmly Believes That tobacco and cotton acreage throughout the eastern 'part of North laroima has been cut between 60 and 6'j ii:r cent, even in the famous "cot ton valley" section, is the opinion of a citizen who has been traveling through the eastern parts of North and South Carolina during the past few weeks. The cut is very. marked, especially on those farms and plantations where cot ton or tobacco used to oe tne entire crop with no" attention paid to the growing of foodstuffs. To replace cotton and tobacco, it is stated, the farmers are planting; more food crops and are giving over a part of their acreage to the raising of live stock, air industry that hasn't been given the attention its Importance de serves in the eastern part of the state during recent years. . ' . . r That low prices for cotton and to bacco will eventually work a great change for the better throughout the eastern part of the state, is the opin ion of the citizen in question. The stock law is going to help the live stock industry, and experience is going to teach many farmers that it is not a good policy to raise money crop and then have to purchase all their foodstuffs.

Owing to the use pf an improved fuel-injection jot and a method of preheating the oil, it is claimed that the power impulses are smooth expansions rather than abrupt, racking explosions, and that, for this reason, the engine can be built lighter than existing models of heavy oil burners, making it suitable for in stallation in passenger automobiles and motor trucks. Eighty per cent of the destroyed f ac-i tones in France are. rebuilt and now working.
