Warns Against Too
Much Weed Next Year
li. is none too early to warn farm
ery in the ('arolinas, Virginia and
lie rgia of the danger of an over
production of tobacco next year.
Anvng farmers with whom we have
br. n in contact in recent weeks, the
tendency to increase tobacco act"-
4igi' i.» very marked. "We are sick of
cot.ton ami will make tobacco our
S' '• money crop next year." is a
common report.
Itirector of Kxtcnsion John 11.
HnVherson. of Virginia, v.-rites us:
"I .jm firmly convinced ihat unless
v, t vi ry active are taken at
on-" i" prov» iit it, oor tobacco I.inn
er io tii>' south will be facing the
>... situation in IXJT that i> now
lu'i'.g fa. id by our cotton farmers."
((" ieporis that nut only are titer:'
nr. -peit> of mnas -d acreage in
\ ii'.tinia M" tion already growing
toi'.'e.vo, but imiuiries are rtachiaj;
hn» from bald ors an ! farmer- in
r.i w nivas. asking the extension
fill I- to help him get started in t.i
bihvt production. Director W. W.
I org, of South Carolina, in reply to
an nquiry from itirector llutcher
jMin writes:
"This state is going wild on the
growing of tobacco. It is being
agitated from the mountains to the
.seashore. The acreage is going ti
be greatly increased in the tobacco
area. From what 1 have heard this
is also true of (leorgia and North
(.'at •iina."
O.ir own observation of the situa
tion in North Carolina fully combo
rates what Dr. I.ong says in his
sentence. We believe that nothing
can prevent a greatly increased to
bac ii acreage next, year in every
.sta'i- in the bright belt Virginia,
North Carolin.a South Carolina an i
Georgia. And if that is done, to
bacco prices next year may be rcl
atively as low as cotton is this year.
—The Progressive Farmer.
It Costs :U.S Cents
. Each Day Per
White Child,
Raleigh, Dee. 2.-- It cost an aver
age of 31.8 cents a day to instruct a'
white pupil in the high schools of
the state during the school years of
3i)25-2(>, only 1 1.1 a day for elemen
tary school pupils, and 7-' l cents a
day for negro pupils in all schoolj
it was disclosed by the state depart-]
ment of education here today.
The figures, which will be publish-1
t eii in the department's publication
'"School Facts" show that the cost o.'j
( instruction in white elementary
& schools is less than half that in j
white high sihools, and th-it the dif
ference in cost between rural and
city high schools was slight where
as the difference between city and I
rural elementary schools showed
that the cost in city schools wa3
more than live and one-half cents a
pupil greater than in the rural
schools. In the negro schools the
cost was nearly three cents a pup'l
greater in the city than in the
country.
A steady increase in the last
three years is reflected in the costs
of white elementary and negro
schools but rural white high itch. .-Is
showed a slight drop between 1924-
25 and 1925-26.
The reasons for the divergence in
costs were given as difference in
number of pupils to a teacher and
in salaries to teachers.
\ On an actual attendance basis it
was shown that in high schools there
averaged seven less pupils to the
teacher than in the elementary
achools, and it was shows that the
average high school teacher receiv
ed a monthly salary of $.">S greater
than the average elementary teach- ,
er.
The higher salaries of high school
teachers was accounted for by the
fact that they had on an average
of two years mole training than ele
mentary teacher:;.
A department official thus summed
up the figures into a plea fir th •
better elementary schools, especially
in the rural sections where the cost
is lowest, declaring it to be due to
poorly trained and undert rained
tea hers.
