At the Southern Baptist Convention in Atlanta, Georgia in May,

their more than 130 educational institutions; for their many orphanages
and hospitals; for their aged ministers: and for the National M«m«rl»
Church, dedicated to Roger Williams and Religious Liberty to be bu.lt
in Washington." A Campaign Commission was appointed, with Dr.
George W Truett. pastor First Baptist Church. Dallas. Texas, as chair-
man. and one member from each of the Southern States. At a meeting
i, \tlanta earlv in June, the Commission met and made out plans for
raising the 75 million dollars. Dr. L. R. Scarbrough. president of the
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Ft. Worth, Texas was
elected General Director, and his headquarters established at Nashville.
Tennessee. Five of the commissioners were appointed as Campaign Di-
rectors to whom the details of the organization were committed. Mr.
j H Anderson, of Knoxville. Tennessee, a wealthy merchant, was made
chairman. The campaign directors have elected the following leaders
to co-operate with General Director Scarborough in the campaign: B. C.
Hening. of North Carolina, assistant general director; T. B. Ray of Vir-
ginia. Survey director: H. C. Moore, of Tennessee, publicity director;
Mr*. J. W. Noel. W. M. V. organizer A general organizer is yet to be
selected ®
At a meeting composed of nearly 200 representatives from every
phase of the denomination's life and work, m Nashville. Tennessee,
July 2nd and 3rd. a complete program and organization for the campaign
were affected Each of the Southern States will be organized, with the
State secretary of Missions as the general director for that state. He will
be aided by a general organizer and a publicity man .and an advisory
campaign committee, made up of three persons above named, the cam-
paign commissioners from that state, the editor of the Baptist, paper, the
secretary and vice-president of the Women's Work, and the chairman of
the Laymen's organization. It will be the duty of these state organizers
to organize .the "sub-division in each state, called associations, or districts.
Each of these associations or districts will have an organizer and a pub-
licity director, and these will organize the churches, with a general di-
rector preferably the pastor; and an organizer, some select laymen, and
an organizer representing the Women's Work. All these organizations
are to be aided by volunteer workers, from among men and women.
The name of the campaign is "Baptist 75 million Campaign." The
time for the big drive will be November 30th to December 7th. Tin, will
be called "Victory Week" at which time cash and pledges payable in 5
years are to be raised to the amount of more than 75 million dollars. All
the general organizations-the Foreign Mission board at Richmond. Va„
the Home Mission board at Atlanta. Ga., the Educational Board at Bir-
mingham. Aala.. the Old Ministers' Relief board at Dallas, Texas, the
Laymen's board at Knoxville, Tenn.. the Woman's Missionary Union
board at Baltimore, Md.. and all the state organizations are throwing
themselves full length and full strength into the campaign. Three million
Baptists are to go into and put it over. It is to be the greatest and most
meaningful movement ever inaugurated by Southern Baptists. ,Its issues
to the cause of Christ are incalculable. This money will help every phase
of religious life represented by Baptists throughout the whole world. It
is expected that every Baptist church, more than 25 thousand of them,
and every Baptist member, more than 3 million, will put themselves in
a great fashion into this movement.

plantings may be made. Figure on mak-
ing the last planting about seven weeks
before killing frost. Pole beans should
be planted two months at least before
killing frost. It is advisable to plant 3
or 4 seeds in a hill and the hills 8 to
1_' inches apart. In this way the seed-
lings will assist each other in pushing
through the soil, especially if a .crust
formed over the seed after planting.
Press the seed in the soil before cover-

Beets—Beets will stand considerable
