This centers in the Middle Western farm States through the inevitable logic of political conditions. The South is strong for Roosevelt and New England is strong forLandon. On the West Coast the tide seemingly runs with the President. Hence, the tug of war that is going on in the central section of the country, where the farmer is being courted as never be fore. The President has several advan tages ( chief of which is his record of performance. Regardless of methods his administration has paid the farm ers huge sums of money and has made substantial achievement of the long sought-after parity prices. However, in doing this, the New Deal ran into the Supreme Court, which upset its crop control measures, and invited the charge that it sought to control the farmer from Washington. Gov. Landon's counter offer, tariff equivalent payments to growers of ex port crops, is not so certain in am ount as cash checks that the farmers will receive in the next few weeks and also runs into a barrage of criticism on the part of those who say that any bounty on production will cause in creased yields, which, in turn, will pile up unwieldly surpluses to depress prices. While there are reports that his farm program was well received in the West the consensus of opinion is that some clarification is necessary, especially as to whether his crop in surance companies and whether the conservation program includes any money from the Federal government. Following Gov. Landon's series of of speeches in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin, the President began his active campaign and Secretary Wal lace, took up the stump to answer the Kansan an agricultureal problems. At this stage of the battle all impartial observers agree that the President has the lead and that Gov. Landon must capture practically every doubt ful State in order to win. The fact that organized labor, almost unani mously, is not only behind the Presi dent, but actively supporting his can didacy, and that a number of Progres sives are doing the same thing em phasizes the importance of the farm vote in the Middle Western States, which both candidates are assiduous ly seeking. Observers watched last week for the reaction of the voters to the at tacks of Gov. Landon on the admin istration farm program, its reciprocal treaties and itis social security set-up. All were heavily bombarded by the Republican. His social security in cludes no government participation in unemployment insurance and would put the needy aged, those past ?5 on a dole sufficient to afford them what he called a "living pension." The money would come from the taxpay ers apd not the recipients nor their former employers, being in essence a pay-as-you-go style of direct relief. No idea of its cost or of any taxation to support it was offered. 1? One of the unexpected results of the Landon attack on the Social Se curity Act was the resignation ol John G. Winant, chairman of the board set up to administer the meas ure. Winant, twice Republican gov ernor of New Hampshire, expressed his faith in the "humanitarian meas ure" and resigned in order to be fet to answer the Republican candidate He pointed out, in his letter to th< President, that the act was viewe* as non-partisan and that it was sap ported by three times as many JRe publicans as voted against it. Beinj the "minority" party member of th< Board, and unable to take part in Si defense as long as he stayed on tin board, Mr. Winant resigned in orde to have a free hand. George N. Peek, former AAA id ' ministrator and former head of th Export-Import Bank, announced hi support of Governor Landon after th J candidates' speeches on farm matter) Mr. Peek asserted that the Pre aider had broken his pledges, made to th - farmers, and that the policies pursue had been destructive of farminconn y Admitting that the farmers ha\ made gains, the Peek statement ii r sifted that farm income "lags at. $8 000,000,000 a year, whereas, durir :, the Twmtf lee,which vrere lean yeai for agriculture, farm Income averaj ed $11,000,000,000 yearly." Answer ing the charge that he is "being fool ed by Republican promises which will quickly be broken," Mr. Peek retorts that Governor Landon is the kind of man who keeps his promises." _____ t The campaign has been marked by the number of men who have come out against their own party in support of President Roosevelt, or, through opposition to his policies, have declar ed for Gov. Landon. Former Gover nor Alfred G. Smith is one Democrat to desert the President and he has the company of several prominent Democrats. On the other hand, Sena tor Couzens went to his political de mise in a Republican primary because he espoused the Roosevelt candidacy and he, too, has the company of other Republicans. ? / The fact is, as indicated in these columns many months ago, there is a new political alignment taking place in the country. President Roosevelt's strategy, aimed at winning the sup dence of farmers and laborers, and ex port of liberals, acquiring the confi pecting the defection of conservative members of his own party has made progress. Whether the alignment will be permanent or not depends upon the voting in November.. If the President wins, you can look for significant par ty shake-ups before 1940, with the possibility that there will be a re grouping under three, if not four, ma jor parties. I' Meanwhile, there were similar ef forts to "size up" the effect of the sudden and dramatic conditional sta bilization of French, British and Am erican currencies, which is every where taken as a contribution to the stimulation of world trade and a step toward peace. This agreement by the Government to assist the French in their financial crisis, coupled with the aid of the British, answered criticism | of an earlier failure to co-operate with these nations to secure stabiliza tion and left the Republicans unable to make any direct attack because it is in line with what they have insist ed upon. Of course, the open course is to -assail the administration for torpedoing an earlier stabilization conference and for this delaying such a step in 1933. The war of currencies, which has occupied the nations of the world for the past few years, is not easily un derstood. While the gold standard was in effect the moneys of (me na tion had a settled ratio to that of an other, because both were expressed in gold weight. However, early in the depression, Japan cheapened the yen in terms of gold by weight, thus mak ing it easier for foreigners to get more yen with gold, and encouraging them to buy Japanese goods which i were cheaper in gold than correspond ing purchases in other nations. The effect of this caused Great Britain to I cut the pound from gold, as did other ? countries. The result again was that ! the dollar, in gold weight, was worth ? more in Great Britain than before i and consequently the dollar eventu 1 ally came down, leaving the French - and a few smaller nations almost - alone on gold. 5 ' 6 In a normal world, trade between a nations will be improved by stable e currencies, when importers in one r country can accurately figure the ex pense of purchases abroad and whet they do not have to gamble on th< - monetary action of a government ii e power. International trade, which ii s the swapping of goods and services e depends upon stable currency because 9. the amount of goods swapped in ex it change varies with fluctuating mone e tary standards, and when these an d unreliable and uncertain the risk a b. loss retards traders. e ?? 9- At the same time that the worl >- was engaging in this rush tp depre g date currencies, in order to secur n trade, the nations ware also resortin I- (Continued or w|i two) ??i Former Secretary of, Beaufort Organization Goes to Prison for Forgery.

Martin Solon Insists the State Should Pay the Claims; Prefers a Re fund to New Highways Raleigh, Oct. 8.?Senator R. L. Co burn, of Martin County, one of the au thors of a 1935 law providing for a commission to study the matter of road debt refunds to counties, told the group today that each county hav ing a claim it could substantiate for fundd donated or State highways built, should be refunded "without further consideration."

Prices Up on Farmvitte Market; Record Sale Experienced Monday More Than Two Million Dollars Paid Farmers for Weed This Season ? ? / Bidding well towards being re corded as the heaviest sale week of the season, as near capacity sales have been ^experienced each day, fig ures for this, the sixth week of the 1936 tobacco selling period, through Thursday, reveal a total of 1,860,094 pounds, which, added to the season's sum total, carries the poundage of this market to 10,001,279. Official figures give this market for the week, including Thursday, a poundage of 1,860,094; receipts $433, 105.37, and an average of $23.28, which has boosted the season's totals to 10,001,279 pounds, bringing $2,176, 801.52 and providing an average of $21.77. Noting that some of the East Car olina markets have fell below the $20 mark in general averages this season, the Farmville market is proud that its lowest figure is $21.34. All grades are reported as selling higher this week, and prices on good and medium tobaccos are observed as much better. ' The volume of sales for the past several days would indicate that farmers are following the advice of tobacconists to get their weed in good shape for marketing, and to sell as rapidly as possible.

Meadow Strips Serve Dual Purpose on Farm Meadow strips take care of water from terraces and provide a hay crop at the same time, according to H. R. Tribou, agricultural engineer of the Soil Conservation Service. The strip is generally about 20 to 30 feet wide, while the .length depends upon the size of the field and the area that the landowner wantsconvert into a meadow strip. Water flowing from tewaces emptying into the strip is slow^ijp, spread out in a sheet, and soil that might wash from terrace.^qhjbmels is collected, eliminating practiijjUJjr; all soil loss on the field. The practicability pfi the meadow strip, said Tribou, lies in its being easy to est^bljsh, its permanency and usefulness. * ^Meadow strips can be mowed several times in one year. The hay from the strips is often worth ! more to the farmer than any crop that could be planted on the same ' area. . ( A very good example of the effi ciency and utility of the meadow strip* < as terrace outlet can be found on the i farm of L. O.
