Kerr Scott
Presses Plea
For Markets
By Staff Correspondent.

Swannona, Aug. 18.-As long as
North Carolina continues to spend
two dollars for production control and
all agricultural purposes for every
nickel it spends for marketing, State
and national farm leaders are going
to be faced with the need of helping
farmers prepare their produce for
market in better and more attrac-
tive manner. Commissioner of Agrl-
culture W. Kerr Scott said here to-
day in speech prepared for delivery
at the 26th annual field day OF the
Mountain Test Farm.
The commissioner continued the
crusade for a better marketing pro-
gram in North Carolina campaign
he instituted several weeks ago and
which he has pursued with relentless
energy on every possible occasion.
Scott praised extension workers for
their contributions to agricultural
production, but declared that ade-
quate marketing funds are impera-
lively needed "to protect the great
and wise expenditures we make for
production and research purposes.
With Tar Heel housewives buying
IS per cent of their eggs from out OF

The utilities have all along con-
tended that they should spend s3,-

years normal expansion.
If you add up Just those few items
you get $4,000, 100000 or more than
twice as much as the Government
could raise or spend this year
Is it not the problem to do some
thing to get that money spent? Should
not the chief objective of the Govern
ment be to help business provide the
jobs for our workers? The spending
program" Of the Government. will
supply only temporary jobs for a
comparatively few millions of unem-

better wages can be secured through
the restoration of private investment
