Kennedy And Terry Sanford On Tuesday, Nov. 81 Next Tuesday, November 8, is one of the most im portant dates we as American citizens have ever faced. We are being called UDon to vote for a man who will serve this Great America in me unitea btates for the next four years. . v ' For President, we are considering the Democratic standard bearer Senator John F, Kennedy and his run ning mate for the Vice-Presidency Lyndon B. Johnson; or the Republican standard bearer Vice-President Rich ad M. Nixon and his unning mate for the Vice-Presidency Henry" C. Lodge. ' For this section of the United States; we must look to the Party which has proved in the past that it will re present all the people. We ana it is tirst to this realm of service that we look.'-. The Republican Party, with the full backing of Mr, Nixon, has given to the farmers for the past eight years, the flexible farm price support system. It has not work ed. In fact, while prices farmers receive for their pro ducts have gone down, the prices they have to pay for necessary equipment and supplies have gone up. This is a price cost squeeze which the farmer and small busi nesses absolutely cannot stand any longer. This is the Benson Agricultural Program which Mr. Nixen has en dorsed and says will be continued for the next four years, if he is elected Tuesday. . , Mr. Nixon has stated, and in front of 70,000,000 Americans in his first debate with Senator Kennedv. tha he is for doing away with price support and acreage controls on all agricultural commodities, and that in cludes tobacco. It just so happens that tobacco is the only agricul tural program which has not eost the aderal Govern ment;' one penny to operate, but, yet the Republican party, wants to see this destroyed. . .Senator Kennedy has flatly stated, as the Demp effatic Presidential, nominee, that he favors the return to I0t-t)er: ceni15aritv forlarmers and arteid Drice suo- pW"snd iSsreage TontroL-Mrr Kennedy , has stated that he believes the tobacco program should be the model for all agricultural support and acreage control programi. And thisjf newspaper agrees cent. '"' ,. , , .. , "r It has been all the Democratic Congregs could do to keep Mr. Benson and Mr. Nixon from destroying the to bacco program which, means everything to the economy of Eastern North Carolina and the South. Every businessman should also remember that if the tobacco program fails in Eastern North Carolina, then his business fails along with it because 90 per cent of the businesses in operation in Eastern North Carolina are either directly or indirectly connected with the to bacco program, i ' As for the experience of the two candidates, we suggest and believe that Mr. KenneiJy has shown with his overwhelming knowledge and ability to react quick ly to every situation, 'and his tremendous capacity and scope of thought, that he has the intelligence and exper ience exceeding that of Mr. Nixon, Mr. Nixon's claim to experience rests primarily in fact that he has been, in the words of Former President -Harry Trumanf "A do nothing Vice-President for eight years in a Do Nothing Republican administration.." You don't gain experience by having' j our foreign neighbors throw tomac-s and eggs at you on what is supposed to be a go v'xsSa tor; As it has turnet 0.t, Prestige of the United States abroad has turned o ::o fca tis big issue in this cam paign. ' ',',7' ' - : How often, before, the issue came to light and before the Presidential Campai. got uaderway, have you read where the United States wa3 losing prestige abr oad? We read about it nunieroils times; ' ,. " ft ; Now when Mr Kenneiy says we are losing presage abroad and among our allies,. Mr. Nixon, ccms alohg and says you are not suppotei to talk about that. Why? Because Mr. Nixon knows it i3 the truth and he kns w that if he runs under the Heputlican Party banner tha it is While the Republican Party has been in power tha this decline in prestige has been accomplished.

We are Ameri cans and know how to cope, with any situation.; But we cannot cope With a situation, be it bad or good, until we firlmit to ourselves what the situation really is. ; ? - 'y This Great America was satisfied U stand still. It'was built by men who were timntintf to so the Nation on the move forward.' Mr; Nixon says "we, have newer had it so good."

It has fair leaf rust resistance with some tolerance to mildrew and mosaic Tests show Wakeland to have as much winter hardiness as Atlas varieties. It matures 7 te 8 days ahead of Atlas 66 and it is in termediate in winter growth habit. Wakeland is being suggested for ro tation with soybeans or gain sorg hum where an early variety is de sired. Farmers who grow wheat are be ing encouraged to try a portion of their crop in the Wakeland variety and compare it with the variety they have been planting.
