CROP REPORT SAYS TOBACCO : OFF 14 PER CENT Production In This State Is Estimated at 502,265, 000 Pounds in 1931 ■ <4> " - The Federal and State crop report- | ing service, last week issued the bul letin as to tobacco crop prospects in the State and Nation: Tobacco growers in the State report ed the average condition of the tobacco crop on September 1st at 76 per cent of normal, compared with 75 on Sep tember 1st last year, and a 10-year average of 78 on that date. This in dicates a total production of 502,265, 000 pounds, or a reduction of 14 per cent from last year’s large crop. Conditions through the tobacco belt have been somewhat in contrast to last year. 1930 was extremely dry in most of the producing area, while this season began with comparatively dry conditions, followed by a season of rain, during which quite a large pro-' portion of the crop was damaged be- j fore it could be harvested. The sec-1 ond growth, as a result of rainy weather, resulted in a larger propor tion of inferior grades. The 722,000 acres for harvest this year is 7 per cent less than last year, and this, combined with the lighter yields per acre, has resulted in the in creased production prospect. United States Crop The condition of the United States tobaco crop on September 1st aver aged 77.7 per cent of normal, com pared with 63.6 on the same date last year and a September average of 77.0 during the previous 10 years. Last month the condition was 74.1 per cent. The production of flue-cured tobac co, the major type, is indicated to be 705.790.000 pounds, which amounts to 12.676.000 pounds less than the August 1st forecast, and 154,041,000 pounds less than the record production of 1930. The decrease from the August 1st forecast in the prospective produc tion of the flue-cured type is accounted for mainly in eastern North Carolina, where the crop deteriorated slightly as a result of excessive rainfall during August. Other types of tobaco, such as bur ley and fire-cured, show indications in excess of last year’s production. With the exception of no change in the wrapper class, prospects for the pro duction of cigar ti bacco improved slightly during August. Prospects for all types combined im proved near 2 per cent during August, and the September 1st estimate of 1, £48,000,000 pounds is slightly above the record crop of last year. MAXWELL THIRD TO ENTER LISTS FOR GOVERNOR Announces Candidacy Late Saturday; Also Expect Brummitt to Run With three candidates already bid ding for the chair and a fourth one expected to announce within a short time, it now looks as if there will be an interesting race for the Democratic nomination for governor in the pri mary next June. Messrs. R. T. Foun tain. of Rocky Mount; J. C. B. Eh ringhaus, of Elizabeth City, announced their candidacies several weeks ago, and Hon. A. J. Maxwell, commission er of revenue, made a formal state ment Saturday declaring his hat was in the ring for the governor's seat. Dennis G. Brummit, attorney general, is also expected to enter the race. In making his announcement, Mr. Maxwell had very little to say, promis ing at that time that he would make known his platform later. In addition to these entrys, other candidacies have been rumored, but there is some doubt whether Josephus Daniels and Willis Smith, speaker of the House of Representatives, will en ter their names in the contest. At least a four-sided race for the governorship is assured by the Max well announcement. Taxation, it would appear, will be definitely forced to the front by his candidacy. Fountain favored the levying of the luxury sales tax during the fight on that issue in the 1931 General Assem bly. Maxwell, as commissioner of revenue, was strongly opposed to it. The tax lost by one vote in the Sen ate. Fountain had announced he would vote for it were there a tic. Ehringhaus, in his campaign an nouncement, came out against the sales tax. Brummitt has not definitely com mitted himself on the issue, but in a civic club address in Raleigh last week he stressed the need of finding “new sources of revenue to meet the State's increasing deficit.” Maxwell has been in public life for two decades. From 1910 to 1917 he was clerk of the State Corporation Commission. He served as a member of the Corporation Commission from 1917 until 1929, when he was appoint ed revenue commissioner by Gover nor Gardner. -S TIME TO PLANT FALL GARDENS -«. With the pantry shelves filled with fanned fruits and summer vegetables, farmers should plant greens and other winter vegetables to supplement this diet. “If the turnip patch has not already been started, get the soil prepared and the seeds in as early as possible,’ says E. B. Morrow, extension horti culturist at State College. “For the main crop, the Purple Top Globe va riety should be used. Other popular early varieties are the \\ hite Milan, Early Snowball, and Purple ' Top Strap Leaf.” Mr. Morrow suggests that it might be well to try the Golden Ball and Yellow Aberdeen since these are yel low fleshed varieties and contain more vitamins than the white fleshed turn ips. Some crops other than turnips and collards should be planted to furnish he greens, states Mr. Morrow. These two till a definite need but kale offers an excellent substitute for a steady diet of collards. The Siberian and the Green Curled Scotch are the two va rieties most commonly grown. Of these the Siberian is the most hardy. For fall greens, this crop should be planted early in September. A recent addition to the list of greens is listed by seedsmen as mus tard-spinach but is commonly known as tendergreen. This is a smooth leaved plant somewhat similar to mus tard and is finite hardy. Like the kale this vegetable should be planted in September for winter and spring greens. Last but not least, comes spinach, states Mr. Morrow. This plant is very resistant to cold and with a growth of 3 to 4 inches will stand severe freezes. Gardeners in North Caro ilina should make the acquaintance oi 1 this crop, he says.

Early spring grass lacks desirable nutritive qualities and us j ually the barns are emptied of the best legume hay by early March. "Therefore." says John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at State College, "the wise thing to do is to make provision this fall for a supply I of early grazing next spring. When a cow has passed the winter largely I on dry feed, she craves appetizing, 1 succulent feed such as may be got ! from a good temporary pasture. Such ' grazing is appetizing, is nutritious and is one of the most economical feeds that any dairyman can provide. By j providing temporary grazing for the month of March and for as much of April as will be needed, the cows may be kept off thep ermanent pasture until the grass has made good growth | and the soil is so dry that the sod i will not be ruined by trampling.” Mr. Arey finds that the supply of home-grown roughage is about ex hausted on March first, especially on those farms where only a few ows are kept for cream production. These cows are therefore turned on the pas ture when the hav gives out regardless of the condition of the soil or the growth of the grasses. This usually ! results in damage to the pasture and little good to te cows. A good forage crop mixture to plant this fall consists of one-half bushel I of Abruzzi rye; one-half bushel of beardless wheat; one bushel of Nor ton oats; one bushel of beardless barley, and ten pounds of crimson clover or 15 pounds of hairy vetch. This amount will plant one acre. For early spring grazing the seeding should be done by middle September. In some cases, grazing may be done in late fall. Mr. Arey says. -® Number Women in State Prison Now Totals 100 -«■ Raleigh, Sept. 7.—The number of women in the State's prison was for the first time in the history of the State institution above the 100-mark as has been announced by the prison officials.
