CANDIDATES TALK
FARM PROBLEMS
Maxwell Points to Need for
Markets for Diversified
Farm Products
(Ry The Associated Press)

Farmer problems figured promi-
nently in speeches by gubernatorial
candidates yesterday.
A. ]. Maxwell said there was a
need for markets for diversified
farm products, and two other as
pirants reiterated possible solution
to the tobacco situation.
Tom Cooper suggested the Latin
American countries as possible new
markets for North Carolina leaf,
and l.. Lee Gravely pointed to Sc
curities owned by the British in
this country as potential security
for loans to be invested in agricul-
tural products.
Speaking at a barbecue given in
his honor at Whiteville, Gravely as
serted that the ''eXtremely serious
situation confronting North Caro-
lima tobacco growers was caused by
the embargo against our tobacco on
the part of Great Britain, and the
relief of that situation must come
through a restoration Of that export
market"
with our tobacco growers facing
the most serious prospects I have
ever known" said Gravely, sit
seems to me it would be well to
have as governor of u state a
tobacco man who knows something
of the problems of the farmer, the
warehousemen and the buyers"
Cooper, speaking in Roxboro from
the sound-truck in which he is
touring the state, said good tobacco
prices were important to North
Cardinals welfare. He also said he
was a strong believer" in "protec-
ton of property rights" and added,
the sacredness of human rights and
believe in the right to collective
bargaining. There is too much
strife in Europe for us to have
strife in this grand country of ours
and if l am elected governor 1
shall see to it that capital and Ia
Dor lock arms and do not lock
horns.'
Maxwell, speaking before the Lau-
rinburg Lions club, said, IF we
are to succeed with a broad pro-
gram of diversified farming, there
should be developed in each section
products of distinctive quality; pro
ducers should organize into coop
erative associations to trademark
their products, protect their quality
and promote markets.; and the
state should furnish every possible
assistance to such cOoperatives
through elaborate inspection service,
and should assist in advertising
these quality products 80.
More Investigation, better mar
kets. and better roads to reach
them. is the path to agricultural
progress in the state"
Meanwhile, a fourth candidate,
Paul Grady, attacked the sales tax
because, he said, at is destroying
our independent merchants and
driving business out of our state"

Because IL has accomplished

concerning union was on the front

of the conference.
One Of the contributing factors
which make for efficiency is the
size and number of rooms in the
church. The sanctuary adequately
accommodates those attending the
open sessions. The social hall. ar
ranged as a lounge and recreation
room, has served an admirable
purpose. The Sunday school room,
class rooms and parlors are To-
Gated conveniently for committee
meetings.
Women Entertained
Because the social hall Is re-

meals are served at the church.
In the first group luncheons

ministers at First Congregational
