Dr. G. W. Forster, agricultural econ-1 omist at State College, just back! from conferences with the Agricul-j, tural Adjustment Administration at J Washington, said last night that he I anticipated that the campaign would! be launched this fall to cut tobacco! acreage in North Carolina and other I flue-cured producing states, but that!] no official details were yet available, j ( "This plan as developed will varyl somewhat from cotton in that it pro- |1 vides for payment based on quality I and yield in the past period. The J: price of flue-cured tobacco has not I' brought a fair exchange in recent} years, and in 1932 was approximate- J ly three and one-half cents per pound M less than the fair exchange value asr defined in the Agricultural Adjust-1 raent act," said Dr. Forster. j i "In order to bring the price of to-11 bacco to a parity," he asserted, "it I: will be necessary to formulate a plan for the curtailment of the 1934 crop, < and should a plan be adopted, it h will be necessary to take out of pro- h duction from 90,000 to 100,000 acres planted to # flue-cured tobacco. |, "To raise the necessary revenue to j take 96,000 to 100,000 acres out of ( cultivation, a tax of between three , and four cents would have to be levied on flue-cured tobacco domesti cally consumed which is approxi mately 230,000^)00 pounds annually," he said. - ^ t A three nnd one-half cent tax on the domestically consumed portion ( of flue-cured tobacco would yield ap proximately $8,000,000 annually, and payments per acre of tobacco taken out of cultivation would vary with each individual farm, Dr. Forster asserted. ^ Other states that would be affected by so^h^a campaign .are South Caro- , lina, Virginia and Georgia: ? ; _ ; * ? ? * artvmm. 11 I > tainXFT ?

The advice was given efter Mr. Arnold has aaked what to do under the recent ruling permitting farmers to go ahead with their destruction campaign under special permits. Mr. Arnold said he expected to re ceive the first batch of special permit blanks tomorrow and as soon as grow ers obtain these it was understood they would be permitted to begin plowing up the acreage they agreed to take out of cultivation. Pitt county growers agreed to take around 8,000 bales out of production this year which is considerably more from the bale standpoint than the gov ernment required, although acreage was slightly under the goal. . Farmers have been permitted to go ahead with the planting of food crops between cotton rows. The extra crop, j however, will not be allowed to be placed on the . market and must be consumed at home. Pitt county ranks as sixth in state campaign, that honor having been re vealed by the state reduction office following a check-up of returns from the various cotton , producing counties i of the state. The honor was well deserved, Mr. Arnold said, by reason of the fine work done by committeemen in every townahip at the comity. , ; Station'WEED' Goes aitha Air Meat Sept. 1 Main Studio in the H. A.

The county ranked sixth among cuts by the other cotton producing counties of the state, it was revealed. E. F. Arnold, director of the farm department and head of the cotton drive of this county, in making known the standing of the county stated that Pitt county's acreage was 4, 191 acres, or the equivalent of about 3,000 bales. Although the quota provided by the government was 6,100 acres, the average estimate per acre in this county placed. the number of bales fifty per cent above government re quirement of 2,033 bales. Due to* an error Pitt county was not included in the honor roll carried by state papers this morning buf the correction was made by state head quarters in time for afternoon edi tions. Mr. Arnold again expressed appre ciation of thel fine work done by com mitteemen in this county and said the success of the campaign was due largely to their efforts. Farmers will be instructed this week, when to begin plowing up th&r cotton.

Congressman Tells Press Representatives President is Revolu tionist Manteo, July 20.?Reviewing1 the anti-depression legislation enacted during the first days of the Roose velt administration, Congressman Lindsay C. Warren of the First North Carolina District described the Presi dent as a "successful revolutionist" in addressing the North Carolina Press Association here last night. "Franklin Delano Roosevelt, my friends, is a revolutionist," Warren said. "He is the leader of the most far-sweeping, all-inclusive revolu tion man has had in this country since the father of our country himself, gave us freedom from foreign appres sion. "This man is giving us a new free dom?freedom. from fear, freedom from hunger, freedom from inaction, freedom from poverty, and he is a successful revolutionist in his fight for the freedom of his people." Congressman Warren, an adminis tration leader in the House, called the national recovery act designated to put 15,000,000 people back to work "the President's do or die offensive attack against the depression." Successful administration of this act, the speaker said, "will provide a decent living widely spread among our 120,000,000 people." "It means the opening of industry to the richest market the world has known?to a prosperous home market. At the same time it challenges indus try to make good its oft-repeated as sertion ? that given the right to act in unsion, it could better serve the pub lic welfare. - "From today it has the right. And from today the slacker industry is in a most real way a public enemy. It is also a challenge to labor. It is labor's Magna Carta?its new charter of rights long sought but hitherto denied. "But it is not a law mainly for la bor; it is mainly for the American people, including labor. "The measure is a challenge to the people ol: America," Warren assert ed, declaring public opinion must sup port this or any other legislative act before it can become a positive force of constructive benefit. The press, he said, is the greatest agency for molding public opinion. "Without exaggeration, the influ ence of the press in developing public opinion favorable to, and understand ing of, the tremendous program of re covery conceived by our President is scarcely second to that of the Con gress itself in enacting the measures that will make it possible for the ad ministration to actually put this far flung plan of recovery into effect," Warren declared. 500 Workers In Mew Walkout Total Number on Strike Increased To Approxi ? mately 6,000 High Point, July 20.?Employes of the Carolina Garment Company and the High Point Oevrall Company went on strike here today demanding a 25 per cent increase in wages.
