To ihe Press of North Carolina
Relying on the generosity aDd
public spirit of the press of the
state the undersigned are euibold
ened to ask of our newspapers
such, timely and telling help as
they are able to give us in im
Dressinc udod every man, woman
and child in the state of North
Carolina the importance of con
tributing one day's income to the
orphanage work of the state as a
Thanksgiving offering.' "
The orphanages of the state
are contributing largely to the
enrichment of-the life of North
Carolina. They are gathering up
the waste material and transform
ing ib into valuable citizenship.
They,- more than any other insti
tutions of whatever kind, are be
ginningat the beginning of things.
They are molding indigent child
hood into useful manhood and
womanhood exactly at the point
where the process of training is
vital; and they are doing this
work for the most part without
the cost of a copper to the state.
The movement to secure a con
tribution of one day's labor from
every' citizen was begun last
spring. ' At.' a meeting held in
Raleigh, September 28, the Exe
cutive Committtee met and for
mally 'launched the campaign.
The editors of North Carolina
were ihe men toward whom the
members of s the; Committee first
tur.ned,theirey
ing on these men who, more than
any others, 'shape and control
our public sentiment to stana py
us in this movement and make
the next Thanksgiving notable in
the annals of the. State's his
tory.;. ;. - ;' . '
We are often called on to do
honor to the dead and this is a
sentiment that is creditable and
worthy, but in this movement we
are called upon to perform a ser
vice for the living at a time and
place where that service will tell
most'mfghtily . on-' coming ges.
Thousands, of children are safely
sheltered in-ourXrphah Homes,
but four times as. many are ; as
yet uncared for and (eft to shift
for themselves in' -world of
tebptation and peril without a
father's counsel or ,, a mother's
care without a nome, a penny,
... , .
or.a friend! ' . r . V.
Itis primarily . in behalf of
these homeless ones that this
movement is launched. We must
enlarge "our orphanages and admit
more of the little ones on the
outside, who : are clamoring to
come in.' Each institution in tht
State is crowded" to its utmost
capacity, with a stream of child
ren standing at the gates and cry
ing for admission.' ' If a tithe of
the citizens of North Carolina
will give the price of one- days
labor to the orphanage work it
will mean the salvation of a thou
sand North Caralina children now
on their way to the dogs and he
devil. Is this work not worthy
of the best effort of every : good
citizen? .
It is our hope that -every North
Carolina pastor will freely and
gladly give his best effcrs to the
advancement of this movement.
We hope and believe that they
will urge those of their congrega
tions who havean income to sa
credly set apart one days work to
this great cause, and send it for
ward to -the orphanage of hi9
choice on or near Thanksgiving
Day. 'w ;
Fellow citizens, v. this . is no
child's play. It is a man's job.
The pennies of the children are
not to be dispiaed. Every gift,
however little, helps the object
I UJ Hint ii iu is givcu, u ucio vnv
giver more; but we are
bot ap-
pealing especially to children in
this movement, but to men -and
women who are busy in the
world's work. And knowing the
spirit and temper of our North
Carolina people, we do not be
lieve that we will appeal in vain.

A LETTER TO J. R. SAMS,
FROM B1UFF, N.
C.
BLUFF, N. C.
Oct. 1, 1915.
Mr. J, R Sams:
Marshall, N. C,
Dear Mr. Sams:
in answer to your inquiry
about my method of crop rotation
I will say first, that at my fath
er's death my mother, an invalid
at the time, was left with fifty
acrgs of run down land, at least
nnA fmiit.Vi nf it uraeViorl nnf in
deep guiues, and one old Mack
cow and a mortgage on her.
I doubt if the entire cleared
portion of the farm would have
produced ond hundred bushels of
corn. I began with deep plow
ing and clay peas for the first
few years.
Then I used red clover, when
I could raise money to buy the
seed, and followed the clover
with corn, and at last cult'vation
would sow one half bushel of
peas per acre broad cast, and fol
low with wheat and bacs to clo
er in the spring. I cut the first
crop of clover for hay and plow
ed under the rest to improve the
land. I have used crimson clov
er at the last cultivation of my
corn and would pasture calves on
it from February till May and
then turn under the clover and
sow New Era Peas and cut for
hay and follow with wheat in the
Fall and Red clover again in the
Spring, when 1 sow . wheat.1?., J
use 400 lbs, acid phosphate, 16
per acre and am making 18 bush
els of wheat and 50 bushels of
corn per acre, on land tnat eleven
years ago was nothing but a
waste place covered with deep
gullies.
With best wishes, I am yours,
Respectfully,
J. B. WHITE.
How an Engineer Keeps Well,
RaUroad engineers are more ex
posed to catching- cold than,, other
workers. E. tJ. Dunaphant bt Mon-
ette., Mo., has run a Frisco engine
25 years and all the medicine lie has
taken is Foley's Honey and Tar. He
writes: "I always keep it In my
house and recommend it to all who
have a bad cough or' cold." Sold

ANOTHER DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE
A self-feeding community is on
the high road to permanent farm
prosperity and economic lndo
pendence. North Carolina is
moving forward toward it in
leaps and bounds.
Our increase in home-raised
food and feed supplies this year
ove last year is as follows:
Hay and forage 100,000 tons
more; oats 1,000,000 bushels more
Irish potatoes 1,300,000 bushels
more; sweet potatoes 1,400,000
bushels more; corn 2,00,000 bjis
hels more; and wheat 4,000,000
bushels more. These figures are
from the last Federal Crop Re
port.
For the first time since the
war we have raised enough hay,
forage, and roughage to feed our
farm animals. In wheat, hay and
forage- production, we are at last
independant of western markets.
When we can read our titles
clear in corn, oats, beef, pork,
and mutton production, the farm
wealth of the state will quickly
be doubled and quadrupled.
