URGE NEGRO FARMERS TO PLANT GARDENS Intensive Campaign to Be Put on in the Next Two Weeks.

The first circular, to be mailed out shortly, will go to 5,000 negro farm ers. it is stated by Professor Hudson. “We will have two campaigns this year, he sahl. “At the conclusion of the spring campaign, attention will be devoted almost entirely to the other farm problems. Rut again, on Sep tember 1, we will bfgin another effort, to have winter gardens planted. “In our work with negro farmers, we place much emphasis on their try ing to live at home, and. in this, there is no more important tlrng than to have a good garden. We expect to hold a large number of meetings with the negroes who are co-operating with our agents, and will devote a large , -part of the time at these meetings to facts about growing vegetables.” A garden comprising about one tenth of an acre is recommended as suited to the needs of the average ne gro farm family. For convenience, this garden should be located near the house, rather thgn out hi the field, it is suggested. But even the back yard looks better in vegetables than weeds, says Professor Hudson.

Concord, n. c„ Saturday, march 6,1926 The Tribune in National Poll on Prohibition Do the people of the United States; —the plain, everyday men and women who pay the bill's, cast the votes and make up the backbone of the nation—want the prohibition law modified ? During the past few months the argument has grown un usually heated. Sorne leaders have cried that the people are j as strongly in favor of prohibition now as they were when the j {law was passed. Others have asserted that the people are | tired of prohibition. What is the truth? ! _ This paper, .working in conjunction with NEA 'Service, the biggest newspaper feature service in the country, is going to find out. It is co-operating in a nation-wide referendum, vote that will show, more clearly than anything that has been done since! the law went into effect, whether the sentiment of the people is for or against any change ( in the prohibition enactment. A NATION-WIDE referendum On Monday, March 8, ip each of more than 700 daily newspapers throughout the United States, ballots will be printed so that the reader can show his preference. Strict sup ervision by competent tabulators will prevent ‘‘repeat” voting, but the ballots will he printed on Thursday and Friday also so that everyone can have a chance to vote. The votes will be counted at the offices of The Tribune and then a nation-wide tabulation made at offices of NEA Ser vice in Cleveland, O. When the coupt is completed the senti ment of a large proportion of citizens in every state in the un ion will be discovered. It is the largest vote of its kind ever attempted. The papers that will co-operate in putting the issue before the public have more than 40,000,000 reader^. Neither this paper nor NEA Service has any ax to grind in staging this referendum. When we ask you to cast your vote we will not try to influence you; we do not care how you vote. What we and our associate editors do want is to learn the sen timent of the country on the prohibition law. EVERYONE SHOULD VOTE It is vitally important that this sentiment be learned. There is no real, definite way to find out except by a monster, nation wide referendum such as this pne. is why it is important that the voters express their opinions. Congress has already been asked to modify the Volstead act. Temperance organizations are pleading that the country as a whole does not want a change. Other organizations are pleading that the country as a whole does want a change. Church societies have studied the question—and some have de clared for, some against, the prohibition law. There is no unanimity of opinion. There is nothing to tell Congress, or anyone else, what the great mass of people in Am erica think. , ~ 1 ; . big referendum will V : lia-g-uu. —' —-- — 1 v. . 1 . 1 'IT ——. .n 1 - -j- THE COTTON MARKET Opened Steady at Decline of 7 to 14 Points, Active Montlm 10 to 16 Points Lower.

Their request is for a survey of conditions of women in all branches of industry, not just the tex tile industry. While they told the Governor that they are informed of v : o- < lations of the law with reference to the employment of women, what they mainly desire is a complete and accu rate survey to determine conditions gdnerally without specific reference to law violations. The Governor in discussing the mat ter again emphasized that he would i not ask n Federal agency to make such a survey. The women replied that it made rib difference to them who made it, so it was made within a reasonable time and done thoroughly by competent authorities. The women estimate that the sur- 1 vey would cost the State something . less than SIO,OOO.
