STATE COMPLETES
in LETTUCE TRADE
FLORIDA READY FOR COME
BACK IN WAR WITH CALL
FoRNIA AND ARIZONA
(By ASSOCIATED rress,

BRADENTON, Fla, May 49,
Florida is ready for a comeback
in its lettuce war with California
and Arizona.
This region used to ship thou
sands of cars of lettuce-but it
was the old loose-headed Boston
variety. When the firm, crisp
headed iceberg variety, grown
largely in California and Arizona,
came into widespread popularity
Is years ago, the local lettuce in
dustry faded. Even Manatee
county grocers found they had to
stock the California product.
Hampered by their warm eli
mate, growers in Manatee, Sara
sofa and a few other Florida let
tuce belt counties had about Civ
en- up hope of competing again
in the lettuce market. But now
seed breeders have perfected a
new firm, crisp head of lettuce
they say will grow here and COM
pete with other areas. The hope
of Florida growers is soaring.
Approximately 400 acres of the
new head is being harvested in
Manatee county alone.

The "Maginot line" and the
"Siegfried line" some veteran dip
lomatic quarters commented, may
not have a greater part in history
than the new diplomatic from
tier" established the entire length
of the American continents and
designed to preserve democratic
governments against aggression and
subverSion.
Experts on Pan American affairs
pointed out many striking features
in the unanimous gesture of peace
made by countries of this hemi-
sphere after President Roosevelt's
initiative toward solving the trou-
bled situation in Europe.
First, it was said, the American
republics have not previously taken
unanimous action in reference TO
particular critical situation, J.
though they have occasionally
found common cause in many mat
ters of permanent principle or
procedure.
Second, Prime Minister Macken-
zie Kings communication to Mr..
Roosevelt, declaring that Canada
welcomes the timely action of her
good neighbor," stirred Latin AM
erica diplomats as new evidence
that Canada, although not a men,
ber of the Pan American union,
can be moved to action on COM
mon objectiveS.
Third, most diplomatic commen-
tatorS saw in the prompt commu-
nication from President Roberto
Ortiz not only a friendly tribute
to President RooSevelt'S initiative
but also assurance that Argentine
has made an appraisal OF current
world problems and their neceS-
sary means of correction substan-
TALLY similar to that of Washing
ton. Ottawa, it was believed, acted
with the assent of London.
Fourth, the close community of
political outlook between the Unit
ed States government and Brazil
had previously been revealed dur
ing the visit here of Foreign Min
lister DR.. OSWaldo Aranha, who in
public addresses made eloquent in
depreciation of the American the
sis of Democracy and the means
of it's protection.
Latin American comment gen.

GARDNER PROUD OF
CLEVELAND RECORD

Shelby, Dec. 2.-Former Governor
O. Max Gardner is claiming a world
record in cotton production for
Cleveland county this year. He cites
the following figures to support his
claim: The acreage planted to cot
ton in Cleveland county in 1889 was
slightly less than $1,000 acres. To
November IA total of SIS, 454 bales
of cotton had been ginned, or more
than bale to the acre. The av-
arage yield Of cotton per acre in the
United States is 234 pounds; Cleve-
land county's average is more than
500 pounds per acre, or more than
double that of the country ASA
whole.
Gardner is pround of that record,
but he expresses more pride in the
progress made by his home county
in the Live-at-Home program as
promoted by the State College Elk
tension Service and as emphasized
by Gardner during his term as gov
ernOr of North Carolina.
