FINE DIVERSIFICATION OF
NORTH CAROLINA CROPS
State Statistician Says We Are Particu
larly For.ur.3te in Our Agricultural
Interests.
Raleigh. Xcy. 15. — With the tine di
versification of North Carolina's crops,
and especially with cash crops so well
distributed over the state we are par
ticularly fortunate in otir agiieultural
interests this year." according to the
monthly report of Frank Parker, agri
cultural statistician of the state, issued
here today.
"Wheat and corn." continues the re
port. "are big assets with good values.
Cotton, of course, loads not only with
a big value but with a high purchasing
(tower. Tobacco's large yield will help
out wonderfully. All together the state
lias an advantage over any southern state
except the Texas empire and. area Tor
area, we have that state completely ov
ershadowed.
"The cotton report' released last week
brought out that North Carolina holds
sir ml rank as a cotton state. In fact,
the value of lint and seed makes the
crop worth .Slbasing the value
of lint at $52 and seed at $45.00 per
,nn. This means the crop hi this state
is worth over forty per cent, more than
last year’s value and more than 100 per
cent, than tin* 1020 or 1021 crop. It
further means that North Carolina cot
ton crop is is more than ten per cent.,
of tin* entire crop of the I'nited States./
The nearest competitors in the value of
cotton an* South Carolina and Oklahoma, i
whose total value approximate $120,-1
000.000 each. A further observation
is that for the lirst time since 1010 the
cotton crop of the South distiutcly j
holds a larger per cent, of the value of I
till crops." *
The report ranks North Carolina as
fourth state in the probable value of
crops. .
Taking up the tobacco crop the re
portdeclares that the largest yield since
1020 is assured. Giving the total as
357.000.000 pounds, it is stated that this
figure represents 25 per cent, more titan
last year’s crop and aboht 12 per cent,
more than the 12-year average.
"The yield of 700 pounds (ter acre is
unusually large." reads the report, "as
is shown by the 020 pounds per acre
average yield for five years. This pro
tlncti >n is at the expense of quality, al
though last year’s crop averuged one per
cent. less. The price per pound is runn
ing below last year’s average.
"Tiie rank of second in the pnxluetion
of tobacco will In* maintained this year.
Kentucky holds first rank with a yield
of 470.000.000 pounds at an avejage of
SOO pounds per acre with the quality
below last year’s."
The report asserts that the corn crop
is tin* best since 1018 when 03.030,000
bushels were made, the present produc
tion b<*ing estimated as 50.*35.000. The
aveage yield this season is 22.5 bushels
per acre as compared with 20 bushels for
the ten-year period. This year's crop
is 13 per cent, bettes than last season’s,
according to the figures while the aver
age November Ist price was Hi cents
higher than the 88-cent average last
year.
‘‘lf is of peculiar interest," says the
report "to realize that North Carolina
has the largest corn crop of any South
ern st/ite except Tennessee and Texas.
Texas, being an empire* .in itself, elimi
nates competition. Tennessee’s large in
crease in livestock and tendency to in
cline more to mid-west practices, with
least interest in southern crops, partial
ly puts it in a different class. This is
one of the evidences that North Carolina
is not a .strictly one-crop state. In
fact it is one of the most diversified
states in the Union.
"The wheat crop,’’ according to the
report, "with a production of 6,633,000
bushels is the largest since 1020 when al
most eight million bushel** were pro
duced. The value per bushel, however,
is more favorable.*’
ALLIES OF ENGLAND
CRITICISED BY PREMIER
Stanley Baldwin Says Efforts to Solve.
Problem Have Been Checked by Two
Nations.
London. Nov. 15 (By the Associated
Press).—Prime Minister Stanley Bald
win in an answer to the labor moti n
of censure iti the House of Commons to
day said with reference to the Ruhr and
reparations situation he had spared no
pains to let it be known to Great Bri
tain's allies that the British people could
not continue indefinitely to maintain the
spirit necessary for co-operation if the
present situation were allowed to con
tinue.
Mr. Baldwin declared it. might be dif
ficult to maintain indefinitely efforts to
work together with the allies who made
it so difficult.
"I had high hopes.” he said, “that
when the communication with America
began, they might really be productive of
solid progress. But here again, as so
often before, we found all our efforts
brought to naught, not by our own ac
tion. nor by the action of America, but
by the action of the other two allies.”
South German Newspaper Dislikes
Prince’s Return*
Frankfort. Germany. Nov. 13.—The
return of the former German crown
prince to Germany is anything but an
auspicious omen, and the German peo
ple have a right to know why the gov
ernment permitted it during the present
situation. observes the Frankforter
Gazette, the leading south German
liberal organ. «
The newspaper rejects the inference
that the home coining of Frederick Wil
liam suggests a suspicious relation to
the late Munich “putsch” but it observes
that, if lie finds a “welcome home” sign
stuck up on the door of his castle at
Dels, it will reflect-an untruth, as he
is highly unwe’eome to the German peo
ple in the present perturbed internal
situation. _
The newspaper also suggests that the
return of Frederick William will in
crease American antipathy for him. It
declares, however, that the issue is
wholly an internal German problem,
and that it does not afford the allies the
right to talk of a breach of the Ver
sailles treaty.

Li£ a illa Godov, a Chilean poet, writing
in the Living Age, says of President Ob
regon: "His family life is as modest as
it is exemplary. He lives with extreme
simplicity, not in the Castle of Chapul
tepec, hut iu a residence adjoining it. He
is a fine, well-to-do gentleman, sensibly
averse to all ostentation. A revolution
has lifted him to the supreme magistracy
without affecting the Spartan simplicity
of his habits.”
Last spring a sick boy, near Vicks
burg, Mississippi, prayed to get well so
he could see Bain* Ruth smash out the
ball in an exhibition game in that city.
He was utmble to attend, however. A

ball player drove seven miles out into
the country to spend an hour with the
