Big Tobacco Crop. ^
Raleigh. N. C . Feb. 16.1927.-
A review of tbe tobacco situation
in North Carolina shows for the
first time ^ the history of tobac*
CO industry. North Carolina pro
duced more tobacco in 1926 than
any other state and tne value of
the crop was twice that of Ken*
tucky fOver four t^es that of Vir
ginia, and many millions more
than any other produdng -state.
A close similarity appears be*
tween the period for the past^ 3'
years and that betwOen the years
917 and 1919. Both periods b'^ave
>een marked by siibstantial in
creases in production and in both
instances, prices have advanced
with the increased production.
Should the 1927 season be a reps
tition of that of 1920. a most un-
brtunate situation would be the
result, especially since it follows
so close upon the beels of tbe
disastrous experiences with the
cotton ciop of 1926
The State’s 1926 tobacco crop
was tbe third most valuable crop
ever produced, being second only
to that of 1918 and 1919. It
was second largest crop ever pro
duced, being only 40,000.000
ess than that of the 1920 crop
The acreage was the second
argest ever grown, being ex
ceeded only in 1920. The average
of prices received dujing the
season was only exceeded in
1919. -
While tbe foreign situation in
regard to exports is considered
favorable, it is much more so for
tbe dark hurley types than for
the bright flue cured (cigarette

created a favorable situation for
this type, whereas the increase
in the bright belt and the de
crease in the exports to China
and the United Kingdom^ our
two largest purchasers, with the
large stocks on hand of this type
have created a condition that
should caution the bright tobac
CO grower. These facts are worth
careful study by the tobacco
farmer at this time when pos
sible disas'er may be so easily
prevented by an understanding
of the conditions that he must
confront.

Penalizing Rrt Carekssness.
Tbe United States done little
regarding personal responsibility
for damages done to others by
fires caused by carelessness. In
Indiana, however, an owner of
property may be held liable for
damage done by fire to another’s
property, provided this damage
was occasioned by failure to
comply with an order of tbe
state fire marshal.
Authority of the state fire
marshal includes making and is
suing orders for abatement or
removal of Ihe hazards and in
eludes ordering of repairs to or
the complete removal of build-*
ings found to come within the
purview of the act, as well as
enforcement of regulations per
taining to storage, use, manu
facture, sale, handling and
transportation of all classes of
combustibules and explosives.
The owner of property, con
demned as a fire hazard, who
persists in maintaining it in such
a conditidn despite the order of
the state fire marshal, may be
held liable in damages to others
whose property is reduced in ren
tal value or othwwise by reason
of condition of condemned prop
ertv or whose insurance rates

If other states would follow

lessen fire hazards and reduce
fire losgi^s in Our Country.

World’s Cheapest Gasoline
Abjut $ll.o00,000,000 capital
is invested in the petrOFeum in-
.dustrv. It pays/nationul, state
and local '.axes precisely as other
property does, and. in addition,
an asrtonishiug variety of special
taxes i nd fees. In some stales
a.s hiKli as 40 per cent of the to
tai ti.Ue revenues come from
the o.i industry. ..
While foreign countries rurn
but five to 11 per cent of crude
petroltum into gasoline, our oil
companies extract about 35 per
cent gasoline, and every year
the proportion is increasing.
This fact, in spite of exorbitant
taxes aud increased cost of pro
ductioii, gives the United States
the cheapest gasoline in the
world.
While bouse furnishings in
creased 126.5 per cent in price
from 19l3 to 1926; anthracite
coal, 125 5; woolens and worst
eds, 189i and farm nroducts, 33 7
per cent, gasoline increased but
24 8 per cent—the least of
