“1 have called upon the farmers b

no batter way for them to do so thai
by purchasing Liberty Bond*,” ir.ii
Governor Bichett ysitsrdoy in n lotto
to the members of the Slate Bnar<
of Agriculture, calling upon Uw™ u
urgs, In turn, tho farmer* of th
State to hack the campaign for th
eels of $27,000,000 bonds in Nortl
Caro Ha a.
“K It nsithsr right to aspect noi
aft to permit the few to buy si
these bonds,” Governor Rlekett sail
la hit letter, emphasising the fee
that the Stats is facing a atonsndou
task, but not expressing anything h
the way of pessimism over the out
some.
Th* Governor's letter follows:
“The people of North Carolina havi
been called upon by the Federal gov
erament to Invest $27,000,000 li
Liberty bonds, this being the Sulc'i
proportion of the second thrae billioi
dollar issue. If our people fall t<
purchase these bonds promptly It wll
mean that North Caroline |> not doio*
her part to help win this war—tha1
aha la either willfully or carwlswl;
failing to carry her share of the bur
den the war Imposes upon the variou
States. My faith In their patriolitn
and loyalty refuses to permit me ti
entertain for one moment any Joub
of toe willingness of our ntiwene t(
rise to thii emergency if th* mal -
ls properly presented to thrm.
“However. It 1* no s jell task t<

„ . 'man to Bay.
I therefore earnestly request you
aa a member of the State Board oi
Agriculture, to bring (hie matter u
the attention of tho fanners of Norti
Carolina, and oaa all your influenei
to tha and that every one of then
buy at leant one Liberty bend. Tin
perroataga of iacreaae la tha price)
of tha farmor** products as a resuh
of this war la greater perhaps that
that of any other class of oar elti

“Moreover, It is the farmer’* pa

of no better way by urhicu ho cui
serve bis country In this crisis. Ii
we are to fight this war to a success
ful finish these bonds must bo sold
In the prosecution of this war mono;
is just as necessary aa men and mum
tions.
“The offer of these bonds give
the farmer a magnificent opportunity
to take stock in Ms government. L
ha is wise bo will ho eager to gru*i
this opportunity, for by to doing hi
will help to insure for bimtalf sni
hit children a continuation of gov
eminent of the people, by the pvopli
and for tho people.
Bend Boyer Receives Also.
“Please do all in your power ti
bring these facta home to tho farmer
of North Carolina. Let them knov
that the bond buyer receives as wel
as gives. He not only comet to th

makes a good interest bearing in

tho safest security In the world, be
eante the promise to pay la backoi

The groat corporations and rich in

to the patriotic impulse, are invest

"Will the farmers of North Caro

pass by unheeded?
"I have called upon the fanners t

FARMERS EXPECTED
TO BUY LIBERALLY
They Are New Reedy U Make
»—ad Lffisrty Lose a Bi|
In tha Finrt liberty Loan Cam
paign, many of the farmer* of the
country were not reached, and sub
scriptions from the rural committees
were few. There were irveral rca
l ton* for thia, the forcmoit of which
I wao that the Loan waa put out in the
. spring, when they were busy with
, their crops, and it was difficult for
; tho canvasser* to interview there.
; Then, too, they had to borrow moaoy
for tbalr planting. Now Uwir crop*
are in. and at the prvwm high price
, of food stun*, they should havs a
large sum of money in their hands.
. For a loan of a portion of that money,
th* Liberty Bond campaigner* are
now appeal,ng ail over the country,

V D«*n of the New

thia work. Speaking of the Loan and
the farmers' share in it, he mid to
day:
“When liberty cam* to America,
the farmer helped to bring It. Be
P01* *be gun, he contributed unspar
ingly of his substance, he fad tte
ermiaa. In tha present straggle fag
liberty, 1 am sure that ha
anil do no lea*. He has already made
splendid response to tbs demand for
fo°® production. I look
with confidence on hi* |os«nm con
tribution to th* Liberty Loan. The
first Loan largely ovsr.looked the
farmer; th* efforts were concentrated
in th* cities. The second campaign
should give every opportunity for
farmers as individuals sad in their
orgaaaations to support th* Govern
ment in It* financial program*. It U
the highest expression of American
ism that all the people should help
