Economists and statistical and business experts have asserted that tobacco, since its increased consumption began, has brought farmers more money than any other crop. Despite a late spring and drought in many southern tobacco areas during May and June, the largest crop of tobacco since 1939 is in prospect Jfcis year, according to U. S. Dept. of Agriculture survey. Crop conditions, as of July 1, point to a 1944 tobacco production of one thousand four hundred and eighty-four million pounds, 6 percent over last year's crop. The exceptionally strong demand tor leaf tobacco has led farmers to plant the largest acreages since 1989. The yield per sere is placed at 880 pounds compared with 966 last year, and 806 pounds for the 5-year period 1939-48. The combined acreage of all types is placed at 1,686,000 acres, an increase of 16.4 percent over last year's harvested acreage of 1,449,000 adres. The | indicated acreage is above last year for all classes except fire-cured, which is down 4 percent. Price Regulation The 1944-45 flue-cured marketing season began July <1, with the open- , ing ol the Geor-gia-Florida markets, i A strong demand and favorable prices ( for the leaf prevailed throughout. The. 1944 crop of flue-cored has been placed under a maximum price regulation which provides for a maximum weighted-average purchase price of 48-1/2 cents for tied tobacco and 89 cents for untied tobacco. Crop con-, ditions on July 1 indicated a 1944 floe-cured crop of 833.7 million pounds | —an increase of 6 percent over 1943 j and 6.5 percent above the 10-year ( (1988-42) average production. The acreage as indicated by tie report is' somewhat smaller than the allotted acreage for this type, and the indi-1 cated yield of 843 pounds per acre is below that of 1948. Owning to the! high level of domestic manufacturing and exports, stocks of flue-cured on' July 1st were lower than last year I by approximately 181 million pounds, but this 1 _ in the carry-over is' the indicated fni mam 1 ..Jllion pounds in the' 1948' supply as «f July l#t] of a year ago by about for is the WAR IN BRIEF Eastern Front: Romania quite war against United Nations, announces it will fight against "enemy," invade Traagylvanlan territory ceded to Hungary; capitulation come* aa Russians report slaughter of 26,000 Nazis and Romanians in new offensive, Russians report fighting between Romanian and German troops.

Hunt Parker of Roanoke Rapids Tueaday adjourned, the civil term of Pitt County's Superior Court after nearly a score of divorce.decrees had been granted and a number of motions heard. The Halifax Jurist, Solicitor Dave Clark and Court Clerk J. Frank Harrington at a conference Tueaday decided to postpone many oi the cases scheduled to be tried at next week's criminal term of court. "We want to permit the farmers to remain in the fields and at the curing barns to house the rapidly, ripening tobacco crop," Judge Parker who is riding the Fifth Judicial district the last half at the year, stated. by the Flue-Cured Tobacco Advisory Committee and other representatives of the industry. In addition to price ceilings at the grower's level, the 1944, regulation provided for control of all sales ot the crop from producer to manufacturer. The Office of Price Administration stated that the new price ceilings will have no immediate effect on retail cigarette prices. Became of the exceptionally strong j demand tor flne-eurad tobacco this) season and neceeejty tor its esta lishment of ceiling prices, officials of | the War Food Administration, to insure a fair disiributiar of the crop,! have deemed it advisable to limit the i " isee of the W44 crop of floe-| tobhacco by mamrfactareni m The 1944 production has also allocated fay the War Food tration as to domestic and foreign use.

S., Russia and Britain Began This Week The eyes and hopes of the world's 2,000,000,000 war-weary people are focused on a peaceful Washington estate—Dumbarton Oaks— where the United States, Russia and Britain are discussing plans which may determine whether there shall be lasting peace or another war for this generation. The long-heralded meeting of the hig powers to plan a pest war" in-1 ternational security organisation—a new League of Nations—started at 10:30 a. m., Sunday, when Secretary of State Oordell Hall made a welcoming srirtrssa to the delegates representing the three nations. On the eve of the momentous conference, the newly-arrived Soviet delegation said it waa "most optimistic" about the chances at the three powers creating a world organisation to keep the peace. Thus did the Russians echo the sentiment of their American and British colleagues. Even before the parley started the United States, Russia and British were agreed upon the general framework of such an organisation. But in their meeting they are thrashing eat ways of guaranteeing the use of joint force, if necessary, to suppress aggression.

The Dunbarton Oak* talk* are exploratory rod probably will be followed this fall by a fulldreee conference among all the united and other peace-loving natfea*.
