The Centennial Campaign is a! movement among the Baptists of North Carolina to celebrate the! of/Ane hundred years of or-! ! gamized ypi& in this state by rais ing a fund of 81,500,000.00 to; strengthen their seven colleges and I schdols. *A'he State Convention was 1 J organized in 1930 and the plan is I i to raise this educational fund this fall in subscriptions which shall be | paid in full by 1930, in order to ob- j ; serve the Centennial in that year with the schools greatly strength- j ened.. 4 r* • , ! Hon. O. ,Max Gardner is chair | man of the movement throughout the statb and he has appointed Mr. Teague to be chairman in this asso ciation. Mr. Teague in turn is ask ; ing each church in the Associatiaon to appoint a Centennial Campaign chairman and a key woman. Mrs. I June Gunter of Sanford has been appointed as head of the women’s division of the Campaign in the as sociation. She is assisting in the ; work by selecting the key women ; to work with the church chairmen j in perfecting their plans and com j mittees. The next step in behalf of this movement will be a great meeting i at Meredith College, Thursday eve ning, Sept. 15th at 6:30. The girls at the college will serve a compli mentry supper. There will be rep resentatives at this meeting from all sections of the state. Invita tions to this meeting are being sent to all the pastors, chairmen and key women of all the Baptist Churches of the Sandy Creek Association. Mr. j Teague is hoping for a large dele gation from the Sanford Creek at! this meeting. The seven Colleges and schools for which the Centennial Campaign Fund is being raised are as follows: I Wake Forest, Meredith, Campbell (formerly Buies Creek) Chowan of Murfreesboro, Mars Hill, Wingate Junior College and Boiling Springs High School, Forty five thousand boys and girls have been educated in these schools in the past and the enrollment for the coming year is the largest yet recorded, v — . j,' Speeding Motorist: How about calling it square for $5 ? POE TO SPEAK Distinguished Son of Chatham To Deliver Address at Fair Next Tuesday. ?- Jr It is gratifying to learn that Edi- j s ; i tor Clarence Poe of the Progressive Farmer will deliver an address at the opening of the Chatham county fair next Tuesday. Dr_ Poe is one of Chatham’s most distinguished I sons and it is exceedingly appro- 1 priate that; he speak on this occas- j ion. Knowing Chatham as he does i and chug full of farm lore as he is, and the address coming at a transi tion period in Chatham county farming, the address should be of great value and should be heard by as many Chatham farmers as pos sible. Chatham’s Forage Crop Is Great One i i County Agent Advises Selection of j Seed Corn in Field—Lespedeza i Proves Success Early planted j Oats Best. This week, the county agent has I visited a number of fields which j was sown in Lespedeza, or Japan j clover, last spring and the preced | ing one. Judging from the growth i this crop has made, especially on | very poor soil, I believe that it is ; the best hay, pasture, or soil im ; proving crop that can be grown in this county. It is particularly adapted to the soil of this county, 1 as the wild strain has been grown here for sometime. The seed for these demonstra-; stions were in most cases obtained ,in Mississippi, and this strain i shews considerable more growth i j than cur native strain. Lespedeza . [seed should be drilled or sown in ; ! late February or March. If drilled, ; 12 pounds of seed per acre are re- ; : quired, if sown, one bushel of seed ; per acre are required. It is not necessary to the land, aside ! j from harrowmg. & •'Chatham countyJfe' preparing for the greatest crop in its history j i this fall. I have steen a number of ! farmers who are actually construct-! ing additional barn room for their l hay; others who have not sufficient barn room are curing and stacking ; soy bean hay in the field. Several I farmers, having harvested enough hay for their needs, are turning un der a few acres of soy beans, in tending to follow this in corn next spring. L On Monday, Prof. E. C. Blair and ! ' the county agent held a seed corn |' ! selection demonstration at the i! ? . 1 county home. ’ Ten farmers in the ‘ vicinity of the county home attend- j ( ed this meeting. Prof. Blair em- j' 11 phasizzed the necessity of selecting j seed corn in the field rather than in ! the crib. He «aid further, that in ' | selecting seejd corn,. the following factors should be taken into con sideration; selection of an ear free ! from diseasq, medium distanced on the stalk with a tight husk, short shank, and well covered at the tip. The stalk should be of medium height, rather stocky, with broad blades. The ears should be hang ing down, with the tips towards the ground, and corn should be selected from stalks bearing two good ears. Seed fro mthis selection should be j planted in a seed patch, and the 1 best seed corn possible should be selected from this seed patch each year. The opportunity is being taken here again to emphasize the ne cessity of every farmer in the coun- I ty sowing winter cover crops, and I hay crops. Proper preparation of ! the land, earliness of sowing and proper fertilization are the three factors to observe in sowing fall grain and hay crops this year. Es- I pecially does earliness apply to the sowing of oats. Experiments con ducted year after year show a much higher yield of oats when sown on October 1 than on successive later dates. Fertilization is also impor tant, and on our red soil, it must be remembered that a sufficient amount of Acid Phosphate is abso lutely necessary for the best growth of wheat and oats. Some iarmers use a 16-4-2 fertilizer under wheat on our red soil, .others using a 12- Wake Forest (College Gets SIO,OOO From Mrs. Seaman’s Est’e Daughter of Renowned Missionary, M. T. Yates, Remembers Her F.a --l ther’s College—Baptist Orphan* age Gets $5,000. / * - Forty minutes’ ride from Pitts boro, just over In Wake, was born j Matthew T. Yates, who became the | first missionary to China from North Carolina, ana was forty or fifty years recognized as one of the outstanding world characters, not only establishing the first Baptist church in China but winning dis tinction as a representative of the British government during our war of 1861-65, when he was cut off from support by the Southern Bap tist convention, and later serving the United States as vice consul i general in China, and being offered higher posts. Being a man of unusual business' instincts, he invested his spare cash N so successfully that he became inde pendent of the support of the churches at home and served as j missionary for many years with- j out salary. I He died in 1887, in the arms of i a first-cousin of the editor of the j Record, closing a life full of ser vice and honors. He left one daugh-' ter, who had married a Mr. Sea-i man, a man of wealth. It is she who by her last will and testament has left to Wake Forest the hand some sum of SIO,OOO as a memorial to her father. Out of his moderate means Dr. Yates made no small contributions to Wake Forest Colleke: $250 in 1875; SI,OOO in 1878; S2OO in 1886; and $4,350 in 1887. During his last years he was forming plans for the larger endowment of the college,and the year of his death he wrote Dr. Charles E. Taylor, “I delight to pray for Wake Forest College.” This interest was the inheritance of Mrs. Seaman, his daughter, who has now, “as a memorial to her fa ther,” left this SIO,OOO bequest to Wake Forest. In her will Mrs. Seaman made special bequests to the amount of $90,000. Among North Carolina beneficiaries of the will are the i Thomasville Baptist Orphanage, $5,000; Ann-ie Seaman Jones, of Sal- 1 isbury, $5,000; to the daughters of her late cousin, Susan Wempe Carleton, deceased, of Durham, $10,000; to the children of her uncle, Lucian B. Yates, $10,000; to the children of her aunt, Betty Lane! Johnson, $10,000; to Cornelia Nor-i riss, of Raleigh, 5,000; to Elsie Hunter, of Raleigh, the only daugh- j ter of her cousin, Emma Hunter,; $5,000. The residuary estate,which | includes all real estate, both in the United States and in China, and i much Oriential furniture, .embroid eries, screens, wall hanging, and curios, is left to her daughter, Miss Josephine Gaskin Seaman.

For best results, use three hundred pounds per acre of one of the above formulae. Lime, when applied with wheat or oats in the fall will also increase yields and where clover or alfalfa is being planted, it is almost necessary to use lime. Our grey and light soils require more potash than is shown in the above mixtures, a mixture as 10-3-6 may be used in this case. Top dressing in the spring with Soda or Ammonium Sulphate at the rate of 75-100 pounds per acre in creases yields also. Some farmers prefer to use Acid alone in the fall, and top dress with Sulphate of Am monia or Nitrate of Soda in the spring. (By N. C. Shiver, County Ageht. September 24, 1927.)

SEEK TO RAISE RAM ’ Proposals For Change In sification Generally Mean Increased Charges Raleigh, Sept 24—Proposals changes in classification in a large . number of items of freight in the Southeastern territorv have not >et \ been made to the Inters*.ate Com merce Commission by the railroads, - according to Corporation sioner A. J. Maxwell, who returned yesterday from Washington, but the carriers are holding hearings on their own he ok. Mr. Maxwell went to Washing ton to attend a hearing relative t * refrigeration charges from the | Southern territory. This investiga tion is being made by tne iutaouN | Commerce Commission, and Mr ; Maxwell believes will result in sub« ' stantial reductions in charges in many cases. Mr. Maxwell was in Atlanta last week to attend a meeting of the j railroad commissioners of the j Southeast. They discussed the pro posals of the carriers, but as they are not yet before the Interstate Commerce Commission, no action was taken. The Southern Traffic I League, meeting at the same time and place, adopted resolutions call ing on the Interstate Commerce Commission to conduct an investi gation of its own instead of leaving lit up to the carriers. The proposals for changes in classification by the carriers gen erally would mean an increase by lifting items from a lower to a higher class though there are some adjustments proposed. The car riers propose to put these changes in classifications into effect at the same time as the change in the rates schedules from the Southeast ern territory to the Middle West, which have been ordered by the I.C.C. Adoption of the new rate sched ules into the Middle West under order of the Commission will have the effect of making changes in classification apply to through freight from the I Southeast to the Middle West. For , this reason the proposals have more than a sectional interest. The proposals for change in classi fication do not involve changes in rates except as they are involved in changes in classification. The Interstate Commerce Com -1 . # mission recently rejected the pro posals of the carriers for changes : in its order for changes in freight ] schedules from the Southeast to the ! Middle Order, and the changed or dered to be made by it, resulting lin substantial reductions in many ; instances, are due to go into effect about the first of the year. Shippers in North Carolina and i other Southern States are taking I steps to oppose changes in classifi cation of freight, which would have 1 the effect in many instances*©fv«ul jlifying the reductions secured in the i order of the I.C.C. of April 13, 1926, sand supplemental order of July 19, 1 1926, as a result of the Southern | Freight Rate Investigation. Corporation Commissioner A. J. ■ Maxwell took an active part in the fight to secure reductions in freight rates that would place North Caro lina on a parity with Virginia cities, | which have long had more favorable rates to Middle Western territory, and he wrote an able answer for the North Carolina Corporation Com mission opposing the changes pro posed by the carrier. CLINTON OIL WELL BUB BLE IS EXPLODED Herman Bryson, State Geologist, scored again in his war on project ed oil wells in North Carolina when Jeffrey Stanback, chemist of the State Department of Agriculture, reported that a sample of oil said to be taken from the well near Clinton was not crude oil. The ‘oil” was “discovered” in the well shortly after some of the drillers were indicted for violating the prohibition laws.. Subscribe to The Record, sl.s#.
