C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1927 NUMBER 45 BAPTIST HOSTS ACTIVE Entering Campaign to Raise One and One Haif Miiiion for Educaiion Ahoskie, N. C., Nov. 2 —The Ahoskie Baptist church voted unanimously at Sunday’s called conference to release its pastor, Rev. Oscar Creech, from active duty for the next two months, in order that he might devote his entire time to the Centennial Campaign, which is now getting started in the West Chowan As sociation. The Association voted at its recent meeting iii Aulan- der to raise $50,000 for the Cen tennial Campaign, .and appointed the Reverend Mr. Creech as Gen eral Chairman of the campaign in this Association. Others associated with him as district chairmen are: A. C. Gay and Jennings White, of North ampton County; Royal White, J H Matthews, and Rev. L. E. Dailey, of Bertie County; and W. D. Boone and L. C. Williams, of Hertford County. These men will organize their districts and push the work of the campaign, working in connection with and under the General Chairman.

Baptists of North Carolma. are undertaking to raise $1,500,000 for their six colleges and one high school in the State. The Centennial Campaign comes upon the anniversary of the organiz ing of the Baptists of .North Car olina for the great educational work they have been doing and are now doing in the State. The Baptist educational insti tutions have made wonderful progress during the time they have been "up and doing ’’ In recent years, however, the de mand for enlargement of facili t es and the necessitv of provid ing for the increased enrollments have called for large sums of monev. Expansion programs that were made in the years of prosperity were predicated upon a continuance of the "good times,'’ but lean years have di m'nished the returns and the money to pay for the improve ments has not come as fast as the leaders had hoped, nor as easily as the average Baptist had hoped it would. Facing the demand for the money with which to pay off the indebtedness against the educa tional institutions, the Baptists have inaugurated this Centennial Campaign throughout the State. They expect to raise not a penny less than $l,500,000.and they be lieve the amount will be larger when the final returns have come in. Of this amount, the colleges and high school will receive the following apportionments: Mere dith, $1,000,000,00; Wake Forest College, $250,000; Wingate Col lege, $60,000; Mars Hill College, $85,000; Boiling Springs. $40,000; Campbell College, $40,000; and Chowan College. $25,000.

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK THE HOME ORCHARD Every farm should have an orchard and yet only a few in the county have them. The far mer who is supposed to enjoy all good things that can be grown on the farm must either buy his fruit from the merchant or do without. When aporoached on the subject he usually gives one of two reasons—the trees cost top tniich-or too much land is re quired for an orchard that will supply fruit for most of the year. Neither of these excuses are true. One-third acre is enough for a srtie.H orchard. I can assist you in buying' good tress for such an orchard that will give you fruit from the beginning to the end of the season. Eight apples, ten peaches, three pears, two cherries and four grapes all for $3 75 My first order for trees has gone but I can send these in so they will be delivered in early December. The express will be in addition to the above price. Pecan trees may be added to the list at 60c each. FARM WOODS It is not necessary that you wait thirty years before receiv ing any income from farm woods. If properly handled they will yield pulp wood, fire wood and some timber each year and yet continue to increase in value fas ter than if this was not done. Woods need thinning just as any other crop. Mr. Graeber, the extension Forester, will be in the county soon and we will be glad to show any farmer how this may be done. See me if inter ested. PYROTOL I have 1500 pounds of pyrotol unsold in the car that is coming. This will probably be placed in the next week and we will never again have the opportunity of buying it at the saving we can in this instance. You must hurry. E. P. CULLEDGE, County Agent.
