Gov. Wendell H. Ford warned yesterday that unless farm problems are solved, "the same kina of poverty that hit the once-prosperous coalfields will hit farms, then the cities." Speaking to a Farm-City Committee luncheon at the Kentucky State Fair, Ford said the current controversy over cigarette smoking threatens tobacco, Kentucky's No. 1 cash crop. And, he added, it is just as much a city problem as a farm problem because tobacco is the cornerstone of the farm family budget.

Noting that 40 per cent of Kentucky's income comes from farming, or industries serving farmers and processing farm products, the lieutenant governor said: "If the good life doesn't exist on the creekbanks, it won't exist on the city sidewalk." Ford said he has heard disturbing rumors that the Nixon administration plans to abandon some farm programs as they now exist, and warned: "If the government moves out, something else had better move in." Problems Called Mutual He called for intensive work to develop new marketing procedures for farm products and better communications between farmers, adding: "Kentucky's farmers can grow crops till they come out their ears, but if they have no markets for them, they will soon stop. Ford called for a halt to the tendency for members of the General Assembly to "clan-up" according to rural and urban interests. The problems are not simple, he said, "and if you trace any one of them back far enough, you'll find they touch in both the rural and urban realms." Rural legislators can join their city cousins in helping to solve such problems as pollution of the air and water, dumps and sewage, he declared. The committee yesterday gave its essay-contest award to Marsha Linebaugh, a 13-year-old eighth-grader from Mount Sterling. Golladay LaMotte, a Hopkinsville farm and business leader, and a member of the Kentucky Fair Board, was presented the farm-city leadership award, and Barren County was cited for having the best farm-city program of the year.
