A STABLE OUTLOOK “ FOR MOST CROPS Fanners Will Plant More Tobacco and Less Cotton This Year. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. March 24.—There is at this time a more stable outlook than usual for most crops, according to Frank Parker of the State and United States Crop reporting service, depart ments of Agriculture. Cotton, haring suffered a defeat at the hands of ex cessive production and lpw prices, will likely not be n large factor in the farmers’ problems, as it will require a season of convalescence to recuper ate. Tobacco started off last summer with fairly good prices which were | maintained in spite of one of the largest crops ever grown. The farm ers nay they expect to plant 10 per cent more this year. They should study the situation carefully before doing so. Records of past events are casting their shadwos this season. efir on the No tiofiufl study nt.this time. This season cot ton, potatoes and wheat will be plant ed under the influence of lower but more stable price levels. The presuiu])- tioh is that present prices will tend to reduce cotton acreage, increase potatoes and about maintain wheat. The spread of coo iterative marketing and the development of machine culti vation und picking are important new factors in the situation. “.The profit in feed crops is depend ent upon • the relhtive price of' the livestock which eat them.” said Mr. Parker. “It is probable that the South will increase corn and dthcr feed crops this year. A good growing season with continued large acreage will result in another year of cheap feedstuffs. Nevertheless, the farmer is in better position to make a profit from low priced feedstuffs this yeur than from low priced cash crops. The 1 important thing this spring is a wisely I selected acreage of cash crops.” With the exception of cotton and I potatoes, the prices of farm commodi ties January 1 this year vary little from those of January 1 last year. The price trend of both of these is higher nt this time, as is. also that of beef cattle and wool. The price trend of wheat, hay, butter and eggs is lower, while that of corn and hay is unchanged. “The general business situation still offers no outstanding signals so far as the plans of farmers might be con cerned. It may suggest conservation, though there is little therein which can be translated Into very practical meaning for the average individual farmer. The presumption is that the domestic market will continue about as usual to absorb farm products this year.". The University of King's College, Halifax, N. 8., is the oldest university in the British Empire outside the British Isles. Its foundation dates from 1789. 'jUmiUL REPORTS i • mS KILLED Advises Navy Department That Exact Number of; Dead Not Known.—All of Dead Were Civilians, j Washington, March 24.—C/P)—Ad miral Williams reported to the navy | department today that "a number of] Ameriean civilians have been killed \ and wounded" at Nanking. The exaet number of casualties is j uncertain, he added, but "it is feared j the number i« large.” While the destroyers N°a and Pres ton with the British cruiser Emerald shelled the area in Nanking for pro tection of foreigners, landing forces were sent, ashore and successfully brought off all foreign nationals in the area, including the American con sul, his family, ami all American naval personnel, the admiral said. During the engagement one Ameri can sailor was slightly wounded, while the Noa and Preston were hit many times. The Cantonese troops looted Ameri can, British and Japanese consulates, wounded the British consul general and were re|>orted to have killed the Japanese consul.

Twelve Rages Today Two Sections Governor Defends Solons Who Were Charged With Being Materialistic i Tribune Tin rood. 1 Sir Walter Hotel. BY J. C. BARKERVILL. Raleigh. March 24.—The conten- I tjon advanced by quite a number i that the General Assembly of 1927 ! ’ whs a materialistic assembly, that provided abundantly for the mn» r 1 terial needs of tint state, but neglect- j |ed the spiritual side of things. is j ‘bringing a vigorous protest iromi i many of tlios<' who followed its work. : and principally from Governor A. W. McLean. j "The legislature just passed recog j nixed spiritual values, find provided I for the development of things of a (spiritual nature, more than any other Migislature-in my memory." said j Governor McLean, "and the charge | that has been brought by some that ,it was entire'y materialistic. ami I thought only in terms of dollars and l cents is exceedingly unfair. True, it | did recognize certain physical needs, and made provisions to meet these needs; but it also rei agnized, to a far greater degree the cultural, in tellectual and spiritual needs of the state, ami provided liberalaly for meeting them.” It is merely necesnry to review CAROLINA COTTON CROP LARGER THAN EXPECTED Already More Cotton Ilaa Been Ginned Than Was Predicted in Forecasts. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. Mnreh 24.—North Caro lina has already ginned 23,180 more bales of its 1926 cotton prop than the number of bales estimated for the state in the December cotton crop report, according to the final figures just released by the Bureau of the Census in Washington, and made public by the crop retorting service of the state department of agriculture. The actual ginniugs reimrted for the j 1926 crop amount to 1,238,180 bales, I while the December estimate, made 1 by the North Carolina Crop Reporting I Service was but 1,215,000 bales. The | Government estimate. however, for ; North Carolina's cotton yield, also : made in December, was 1,250,000 I bales, or 22.000 bales greater than the (actual ginnings show. However, it | is believed that the state crop report jiug service, of which Frank Parker jis chief, that fully 1.250,000 bales of i cotton were raised, but that the slump jin ginniugs is due to the fact that much cotton was left in tbe fields I unpicked. The crop for 1926 in North Caro lina was more than ijl.ooo bales greater than the 1925 crop, this state ' Wring- produced 1,147.246 hales hi 1925, and 1,238,180 in 1926. The yield for the entire United States this ! past year was 1.584,021 bales greater I than the 1925 yield, the total yield | for 1920 being 17,687,607 bales, as compared with 16,103,586 in 1925. Johnson county continues to hold the lead as the champion cotton pro ducing county in the state, with 73,- 136 bales to its credit this past season. It led in 1925 with 74,136 bales. Robeson county is second with 69,140 bales, which is 8,201 more bales than It produced in 1925. Nash county takes third place for large production, With 56,900 bales, with Halifax county iu fourth place with 53,860 bales. All bales qfloted iu the report, are "running bales" of 500 pounds each.

Tokio, Mar. 22!—Lucky indeed will be those tourists who are in Kyoto, the ancient eapitol of Nippon, next November, when the Emperor Hiro liito is crowned. For they will view vehat is probably the most ancient ceremonial in the world. The modern ruler, with nreoplanes. dreadnoughts and submarines at bis command, will formally take his place on the throne of Japan in the same manner as did his first earthly ancestor, Jimmu Ten uor in 060 ft. (',, which was several centuries before Alexander the Great. J unwitting of the island kingdom, sighed for more worlds to conquer. The details of the coronation pro gram are carefully regulated by the Shinto priests, who preserve the an cient records supposed to go back to the first emperor. In the morning Hirohito will bathe and purify him-1 self. Then he will enter a plain I wooden puvillion or temple, made en tirely without metal and fastened with wood pegs and vines. The ceremony tatces place before the | national shrine called the Kashiki-1 Dokoro, which contains the sacred | mirror, sword and jeweled seal be queathed by the sun goddess Aina-1 terasus O-Mihami to her grandson, ttye I first emperor, wheu she placed him j upon the throne. In strict privacy, with oniy a Tew | Shinto priests in their straw sandals; moving about, the emperor will read ) a formal address to his family spirits. I The next ceremony will take place in a big new pavilion in the presence of leading men of Japan and the official representatives of foreign states. The emperor will take his seat on. a throne set within an octagonal pu vilion of red and black lacquer, while the empress will occupy a smaller thrdne at his side, Title prince* and - great officers of TfhttX will surround the throne, the nubility will occupy one end of the hall and tlte foreign diplomats another. The prime min ister will stand at a designated spot near the throne and call on the Japa nese people to give three “banziax'’ for the emperor. Then he will as cend the steep steps of the throne and render liomage to the new monarch. • In the evening will take place the principal religious rite. The Emper or will offer rice and black and white wine to, the spirits of his ancestors in the Yukiden and the Snkiden, two small, ancient shrines. The ceremony takes all night, and before it the em peror again undergoes formal purifi cation. This Kuijo-sai, or sacrifice rite, is the highest ceremony in the Japanese religion. The Japanese, how ever, do not feel any awe as surround ing this impressive ceremony, for it is regarded as simply an act of filial communing with the departed, a sort of thanksgiving dinner with the dead as well as the living gathered together. There are many other interesting ceremonies and observances connected with the coronation, and these last many days. The concluding acts will be journeys the emperor and the high priests to the national shrine to worship Jimmu. and then to the graves of the four emperors immediately pre ceding Hirohito. Besides the ceremonies at Kyoto, there will be observances nnd holidays in every town and village of Japan. Even in Hawaii, the 100.000 or more Japanese there will show their regard for the new emepror. On the occa sion of the coronation of the late em peror, it is recalled, the Japanese in Hawaii subscribed for a magnificent bronze commemorative fountain which was set up in one of the public squares in Honolulu.
