Coolidge are scheduled to eat tbeir Thanks giving dinner in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia and view the Virginia-Carolina football classic. That Mr. Coolidge should attend an event of this kind is a notable relaxation on his part. If he had another term or two he might become a "fan." Col. Clement Manly, aged 75 one of the State's foremost law yers, died iast Monday evening from an attaok of pneumonia. He was sick only three days. Col. Manly began the practice ' of law in New Bern in 1878 as partner of Sonator Simmons, and abont that time took a torn as editor ofja New Bern newspaper In 1890 he located in Winston Salem and was the law-partner of Gov. Glenn until the latter be came Governor. Ib 1896 be was State Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee and elect ed for a second term. Though one of State'e ablest and foremost citizens, viewed from any angle, he never aspired to office. He was a devont Catholic. The burial was at New Bern Wednes day.

PDUMQATTOM One-crop fanning In the long run will make both farm and farmer poor, says the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. To make farming safe, a variety of crops must be grown and part of the crops most be marketed j In the form of live stock and live-; stock products. Neither factories nor workmen can hope to prosper unless they are busy the year around. By growing a va riety of crops, it becomes possible to arrange the farm operations so as to have Held work from spring to fall, and feeding these crops will enable the farmer to turn his winter time, into cash. Caring for live stock. In cluding poultry, and for a garden, provides useful work for the younger' members of the family and gives them an opportunity to earn money and possess something of their own. The farmer who raises only one crop Is rushed part of the year and Idle the rest Usually this type of farmer does not grow his own living anrl, therefore, la In debt when har vest time arrives. He must rush his crop to market Irrespective of price. With a variety of crops, U Is unlikely that all of them will be failures or low In price at once. Diversified farming. Including the growing of the family living in the form of a gar den, poultry and eggs, milk and meat leads to a bank account Instead of a' store account Live stock production leads direct ly to growing a variety of crops, the Foundation adds. These will Include legumes which aid In maintaining fer tility. Also, three-fourths of the fer tility removed from the soil by the crop can be returned in the manure. For this reason, live stock farms al most invariably have higher yields per acre, which mean lower crop produc tion costs. Live stock farming feeds the soli, while one-crop farming robs the soil. If the eoe-crop farmers of the 8outh, collectively, would grow their own food and feed, reducing to that extent the acreage and supply of cot ton, the higher price which the staple would bring would go far toward compensating them for the smaller amount they would have for sale. They would receive nearly as much cash for cotton as they do under their present method and they would have much more cash left after tak ing care of necessary farm and fami ly expenses. Thus, they could largely free themselves from fear of those twin disasters, an excessive total crop and ruinously low prices, or a crop failure with high prices and nothing to aalL RICH PROFITS IN BEETS ON FARMS V __________ I Crop Made Into Sugar Nets Growers of United States $55,000,000 Last Year. Chicago. ? One hundred thousand farmers In the United States are en gaged regularly In growing sugar beets to satisfy the nation's sweet tooth, according to a bulletin Issued here by the'U. S. Beet Sugar asso ciation. ".More than $.15,000,000 was paid to farmers for their sugar beets In 1027," says the bulletin. "Approximately 800,000 acres of land were devoted to sugar-beet culture In 19 states, while there nre 102 beet sugar factories In the United States In which $280,000,000 In capital is Invested. Production of be. sugar amounted to 1,070,000 tons for the year. "Sugar beets are one of the most profitable of American crops and the farmers growing them are, In effect, partners In the beet sugar Industry. The beet sugar Industry must estab lish Its plants In farming communities, since It Is essentially an agricultural Industry depending on the farm for Its product and because sugar beets cannot be shipped great distances without deterioration. The factory not only furnishes a cash market close to the door of the farm, but gives em ployment to farmers, farm laborers and mechanics living near by. It in creases the business of the railroads, and the small town banks and mer chants. {'Raising sugar beets Improves the soil and Increases the yield of suc ceeding crops. The extensive root system of the plant opens and aerates th^ground, enabling it to retain and utilize a greater supply of nlr and water. The roota frequently descend Into the soil to a depth of seven or eight feet. The small roots remain in the ground after the beet Is pulled and contribute vuluable fertility (ln the process of decay. "Beets are an importuut factor in crop rotation. Results in scientific crop rotation with beets as the pivot Imve demonstrated that the produc tivity of the soil in yielding crops can he Increased from SO to 80 per cent. "By-products, Including beet tops, beet pulp and molasses, have devel oped un extensive sheep and cattle fattening industry in the neighborhood of Die beet sugar factories. In locali ties where beet pulp >vag used as s feed for steers in 1927, an Investiga tion showed that while pulp made up 82 per cent of a combination ration, its actual price amounted to only 37 per cent of the total cost "Not every farming area in tha United States may grow sugar beeta. But the present sugar beet producing areas might be greatly expanded if farmers were assured adequate tariff protection, Insuring them against tha invasion of foreign sugar produced under cheap labor conditions and liv ing standards with which they cannot compete." .farmers ot Avery (Jounty sola 28,091 pounds 'of cabbage cooper atively and received one-half cent a pound more than was offered before the pool was made. Surp'us dairy cattle in Iredell county have sold at a good profit this season, with the result that the herd owners are more interested in their cows. Cotton growers who are members of the Cooperative Association may get pure bred seed of recom mended varieties from the Associa tion. SOUTHERN BAPTISTS PLAN TO RAISE $2,000,000 AS CHRISTMAS OFFERING proceeds Will Be Applied Towar ness of Home and Foreign ] Institutions?Sacrific In probably the largest single ex tra Christmas cash offering that has ever been sought by any de nomination In America, the South ern Baptist Convention is asking the churches affiliated with it to provide a cash thank offering at the approaching Christmas season of 52,000,000. The proceeds will be applied toward the retirement of heavy debts upon the Home and Foreign Mission Boards and several other agencies of the Convention. Combined debt3 of approximately 15,750,000 are now owed by the various Southern Baptist Conven tion boards and Institutions, these debts haying accumulated over a per iod of several years beoause the reg ular receipts from the churches have not been sufficient to maintain the work of the various Institutions as expanded a few years ago when the churches were supporting missions and benevolences more generously than they are today. A portion of the total indebtedness is bonded 11 1 1 1 DR. GEORGE W.

Business Men Give Liberally Indicating the manner in which ihe Baptist business men of the South are responding to the call for the Thank Offering, a layman in one state has agreed to add 1100,000 to the fund If the Baptists )f the South generally respond, to the effort, while another business nan In another state has announced in unconditional gift of $50,000. Un ier the leadership of Dr. J. T. Hen ierson of KnoxvJlle, secretary of the Southern Baptist Brotherhood, an effort Is being made to enlist all the large Baptist business men >f the South In making big gifts to this effort. From this source several hundred thousand dollars Is sxpected. In Its appeal for the success of this cash offering, the Executive Committee of the Southern Conven tion ie asking Individual Baptists throughout the South to join In giv ing saorlfldally to this purpose through the elimination of unnecee lary giving to one another and mak ng their Christmas gifts to Christ ind his causes instead.

Id order to enable the American ' Red Cross to carry on lta broad active 1 I tle?, ranging from eerrlce to the world i 'war reteran to Initant response In time of disaster, a membership of 1.000,000 should be enrolled, and In this year of 1928-1929 that Is the coal set for the twelfth annual roll call, to be held from Norember 11 to 20. Armis tice to Thanksgiving Day. , Jobn Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross at Washington, ' In calling upon the nation for B,000,000 1 adult members, directs attention to the great expenditures required of the , Red Cross for disaster and veteran re lief work, and for Its many other ac tivities devoted to health preservation and Improvement and to cutting down the number of accidental deaths, through life saving and first aid courses. "The Red Cross should at all times have a large reserve fund." Judge Payne stated, "because when disaster strikes, and this organization Is called into Instant action, there Is no time to stop and raise funds. Dollars may mti-i' lives, so we should have at all times a good reserve. We have been forced each year to draw upon our reserves, and we find that the de mands are Increasing annually." Judge Payne pointed out that In the fiscal year of 1927-28, the Red Cross had extended aid In 66 major catastro phes In th3 United States and its Insular possessions, and In 22 nations abroad. This does not Include the IWest Indies hurricane disaster In Porto Rico and Florida, which oc curred after the close of the Red Cross fiscal year, June 30, 1928. The Red Cross expenditures for dls aster In that period were 116,644, -258.87, of which approximately 813. 000,000 was expended In the Missis slppl Valley, for the Hood relief work, which came from a fund contributed by the public. More than 21,000,000 was expended In the St. Louis tornado damage, and more than 21,000,000 la Mew England. In both cases public relief funds were raised, although In Ne? England the Red Cross contribu ted In excess of 8500.000 from Its own funds tor the relief work. In the ma jority of the other 66 disasters, and In all of the 22 foreign catastrophes In which the Red Cross extended aid, the money came from Its own re ' sources. Tbe largest Item In the annual bud get of tbe Red Cross Is for Its veteran relief and work tor disabled ex-service and service men, upon wblcb It ex pended In this year $1,169,798. Every man and woman Is asked by Judge Payne to Join tbe Red Cross during tbe roll call period, to aid In these humanitarian enterprises. Ten years after tbe Armistice, the American Red Cross still carries on (or the world war veteran, providing comfort and entertainment for him in hospital, aiding his family where necessary, preparing and following through his claims for Insurance, compensation or disability. America holds the Red Cross em blem sacred because It represents a universal helpfulness?a service to all cltixens?without mgard to race, cotoe or creed.
