Hutson. director of the tobacco, sugar, sice, peanut and potato sections of AAA. today predicted that the W35 Hue-cured tobacco crop will 1 soil for an average price of between i 22 and 25 cents. I price above 22 cents will I mean that the total amount paid 1 for the crop will exceed the amount 1 paid for the 1934 crop and so I re-1 lard the situation as a healthy 1 ?e," said Mr. Hutson. ''Lower grades of tobacco are j toeing less than the same grades 1 "ought last year and the lower *'etale is also due in part to txie I '5r- that the quality of the crop I ftis year is somewhat below ev>ot nt I v?*ww v* I ?- year," he continued. 1 Farmers were this year permitted j raise 90 per cent of their base I ^eage as compared with 10 per 1 tent in 1934. The amount of re-1 duction for 1936 will not be fixed 1 until December. 1 ^ ROGERS LEAVES ALL \ OF HIS ESTATE TO WIDOW I H Hollywood, Aug. 28?Twelve days 1 I teiore Will Rogers, cowboy actor 1 ?4 Philosopher, took off for Alaska | ^B tn big ili.fateri * BB \TT;i F.auC riae with I t wrote his will. 1 ilosed tonight when 1 ig the entire estate \ inoliicially estimated I to the widow, Betty I was tiled tor pro-! \ FF IMPROVING 1 Sheritt W.

This was a boost of 1 cent , a nnnnd over the 9-cent fieure that I caused the rebellion that upset ad-1 1 journment plans of Congressional 1 leaders Saturday night. In addition to providing cash loans of 10 cents on 1935 cotton, the program forced through by Southern Senators provides that each farmer will receive a subsidy that will produce a return of at least 12 _ cents a pound for his cotton, this subsidy to be paid with a number S of checks based upon an equal number of applications instead of with one check based upon one application, as contained in the former AAA plan. This change was particularly displeasing to AAA of- Pi ficials, as it will entail a consider- hi able increase in administrative de-lfo tail because of multiplication of Ai subsidy applications and checks. tr: UJ Wnrlrl Rilsin^SS 1 ?T VA AV? Shows Recovery ti< th Washington, Aug. 26.?The government checked over world eco- at nomic ills today, diagnosed spotted N( improvement and reported the L, United States had demonstrated a T] 'basis" for further recovery. ni Although many problems still 0f pressed for solution, the Commer- sc ce Department, in its world eco- si nomic review of 1934, said "economic conditions in the United S( States improved further." co National income was reported up b? aver 1934 by between 10 to 15 per in cent and the increase said to be of "diffused over a large number of p? income recipients." The depart- be ment added: "An outstanding phenomenon of in the year was the increase in the in- ar come of the agricultural population cc notwithstanding one of the most it: " "" "" o severe droughts in our history." m Chief problems carried over in in 1935 despite a "better balance" were listed as: Continued large volume ec of unemployment; national debt in- id creases by large relief outlays; price A: disparities; low construction activ- cc ity and restricted capita goods bus- bi iness. # The review said unemployment Vi in the United States probably was at no time less than 9,500,000 in ja 1934, but some 4,000,000 were re-ab- w sorbed from the 1933 low point to to the end of 1934.

Cummings of the Public Health Service, said today that schools "practically^everywhere" could open on time. ' * . In Virginia, where talk of delaying school opening had been gen, eral, only 39 new cases were reported for the week ending last Saturday, as compared to 75 cases the week previous. In North Carolina, the new cases numbered 11 as compared with 17 , the week before, a situation no longer regarded as unusual for the ' time of year. Even in other states where the disease showed a tendency to rise, the Surgeon General said no increase would follow school opening , if advice of health authorities is followed. "The old-fashioned idea, when disease threatens or an epidemic was present, was to close the schools," Dr. Cummings said. "Un, der present conditions it is only exceDtionally such a course is wise." LISTS FOUR NEW CASES IN STATE WEDNESDAY Raleigh, Aug. 29?Dr. J. C. Knox, epidemiologist of the State Depart' ment of Health, last night reiterated his position that school openings in North Carolina should be delayed until September 16, at least, to avoid the danger of spreading infantile paralysis in tiie state. "This time limit, of course, applies only to schools in the affected area," Dr. Knox said, commenting on the statement in Washington of Surgeon-General Hugh S Cummings of the Public Health Service, who said schools "practi| cally everywhere could open on 1 time. ' Four new cases of infantile parI alysis were reported to the board of 1 health yesterday, in contrast to ' Tuesday's record of no new cases. The new sufferers were, two from ; Durham County, one of which was in the City of Durham, and one 1 each from Orange and Wayne ' counties. The Wayne sufferer was ' stricken in May, but was not final ly diagnosed until this week, t T-w wnnv estimated yesterday i_/l . ? _ ? that the number of contagious cases in the state, exclusive of those reported yesterday, is about 25.

Parker in The News And Observer) Raleigh, Aug. 27.?More than 10,000,000 pounds of tobacco congested warehouse floors of the 15 markets as New Bright Belt opened its season yesterday. Low grades predominated in the opening breaks, and generally expressed satisfaction with prices received was interspersed with grumbling because opening averages fell as low as seven cents under last year's first day figure of 25 cents. Weather conditions were blamed everywhere for the lower grade of J the weed, and it was noticeable that the lower grades, which go largely into the export trade, were not bringing prices as good as last J. year, on must, mm ii.eu>, viuwcvct, it was reported that tobacco suit- ( able for domestic consumption was t holding up in comparison with last year's figures. There were in. ( stances, however, of lower prices j for domestic cigarette tobaccos. CONGRESSMAN KERR IS SPEAKER AT WILSON (John D. Gold, in Wilson Times) ( Wilson, Aug. 26.?Crowds of far mers, buyers and manufacturers from all over Eastern North Carolina, and the country at large gathered in Wilson this morning to , attend the opening of the tobacco j market. The warehouses were cov- , ered with the golden weed, and the , sales were heavy. It was estimated , the sales were 1,750,000 pounds. Tobacco sold all the way from five , cents to fifty cents per pound, and . the tobacco was not as good as last ' year, and this was admitted by the majority of farmers with whom we talked. ? ? ? ( j The Editor of the limes ngureu i two rows one each at two warehouses, and the tobacco was not as good on these as the balance of the sale. The average on these two rows was twenty cents per pound, while the general opinion obtained that the sale today would average from 20 to 22 cents, and we think 1 that is a fair estimate. There was a broadcast at two warehouses, the Planters at 9:45 and the Banner later on in the day. Judge Kerr was unable to be at the first broadcast at the Banner on account of the failure of Con- ; gress to adjourn Saturday night. He arrived in Wilson later in the day and in his radio address urged : farmers to stand by the control program, saying that better prices for tobacco are due to their cooperation with the administration.
