A Call to Every Preacher March
Temperance Month.

Dear Brethren:-The livest question
before the people Of North Carolina to-
day is that of Prohibition. 1t is the talk
in the homes, in the stores and shops
and on the farms and highways,
The good day of an aroused public
conscience on the liquor question has
come more largely through the work of
the preachers than through any other
cause. And now that the issue is square
ly drawn before the people, I am sure
that u preachers will make the next
three months busy onss in the fight to
protect the homes and churches aud
schools of the State from their greatest
enemy, the liquor trafac.
The preachers hold the key to the sit
uation. By their visiting through the
week and by their sermons ON Sunday
they can reach and influence the peo-
pie of the State as no other class Of men
can. This is the opportunity, bretb-
rem, to bring to a happy fruition all of
your sowing for temperance through
the years.
Brethren, there is not q day to lose.
Organize and agitate; sgitate and organ
lie. Hold rallies; have mass meetings;
train the children In songs and recita-
tions. Help the good women to organize
and start the campaign for the defense
of their homes and iresides. Make
March Temperance Month in each Of
your churches. Do not wait, but start
the ball to rolling. This is not q cam
paign in the aggregate, but one where
every man is expected to use every pow
er within his W grasp to- overthrow
the liquor traffic in this State.
You know the situation and needs in
your locality, and 1 trust that the moral
forces there will achieve a great victory
for righteousness. -
Write me for literature or infotms-
tion and please report the progress of
your work.
Sincerely,
JNo. A. OATES,
Chatham.

A corner Of the house cellar Is often
the most accessible and desirable. Cur
tain off the desired amount of DON
and put in about twelve inches Of me-
dunn loan. This soil should be in
good workable condition and fairly
moist. 1t is essential that this room
should be frost proof. The necessary
heat for such q place can usually be
obtained by 8 of a lantern or lamp
if the amount of room is not large.
When it is large some other method
of heating will have to be devised. A
furnace in the cellar will furnish the
necessary heat.
The main requisite is that the roots
be thoroughly frozen before being put
into the forcing bed. Roots can be
thawed OF not before planting, as de-
sired. 1t is not necessary that the
roots be thawed when set. They may
be put as close together as possible in
the bed without injury to their growth
if there is sufficient soil present to
keep them moist. The amount Of soil
must be enough to cover the roots. If
the plants are in a large bed it is ad-
ViSable to place them so that there is
room enough to walk between the
rows. Very little watering is needed,
and the growth in darkness induces
the production of a large proportion of
stalk with small leaves. The rapidity
of growth and coloring of the stalk
are largely controlled by the temper
allure. The higher the temperature
the more rapid the growth and lighter
the color of the stalk, explains New
England Homestead.
The plants may be forced any time
during the winter months. For COM
mercial production about Jan. 1 seems
to be the time for the setting of plants.
This brings the crop into the market
during the latter part Of the month,
and a continual supply is maintained
until the outdoor crop comes into the
market in April.

1t h possible and practicable for
every farmer to supply himself with

many Instances it will be found profit,

ful production are good strong roots,
at least three years old, and a suitable

This methods of handling roots and

expensive.
For location sof the forcing bed select
n place where a temperature OF &c
TO 60 degrees can be maintained and
from which the light can be excluded.
