CLARENCE YONGUE SAYS BIGGEST DAY IN HISTORY HERE (Continued from front page) ing every eounty in it, that there i< not a eounty in this state better adapted t? production of crearoi vegetables anil poultry than Transyl vania. All these arguments have been thrashed out over and over with the farmers, and they know all ? this as well, and better - than most people, but the trouble hertofore has been the very uncertainty of a market. "Show us a dependable market and we will produce the goods." So much for what this other fel low thinks of us and what they are willing to do for us. Now what are we willing to do for ourselves? With these ' advantages before us in a very few years this should be a very independent and well to do people. 1 don't feel thai It i up to me to give any particular farmer or fann ers any advice or how to manage his affairs, hut this 1 do know, there must come a change r.mong the far mers of this county. Every farmer in this county must make more mon ey this year than he made last, be cause his tax is nearly double, and as I see it now, you will not live to see them less, so you had just as well arrange in some way to make more money. As I see it now, the outlook for the Western North Carolina is the brightest I have ever seen. 1 ?suggest that we re-establish out Farm Agent office at once, and get in tunc to receive our full portion of this benefit of all this progressive movement. Every once in a while I have !i man to ask me how I like farming Why. bless your soul, farming is no new venture with me. I've beer tinkering at it for years. As you all know, I was in the grocery business in Brevard for eighteen years, an< sold out a perfectly good paying bus iness that I might give more of mj attention to my garden. The saraf fellow that asked me how I likec farming asked me how much land ! tend. I told him I only had twelvi acres .and tended it all every year lie asked iiu' if I thought 1 could iinii.o ii living on twelve acres. Well, I'll try it h'du if 1 can't I'll sell live it six ai res, then I know I can make ii-. This sume fellow' owns a nice little farm of fifty-seven acres, and is working on a public job.. All he larks is confidence in himself as it .aimer, lie said he was coming lip to see me soon and see what 1 really .was doing. 1 told him to come on, and I would be only too glad to tell itim what little I know, 1 feel that after several years of sperience, lots of experimenting, ,!ti leading what other farmers have ??on.' and are doing, 1 might be able o tell him or any of my brother t'arimrs who are interested in truck inning something that would be of ? tier est to the 111. Of course, I vovild rather talk to him or them limit trucking, or chickens, as I do::'i claim to know but little about torn raising, as I never studied it much, for I have never seen any 1. 1 make any money out of rais in; corn. The most 1 know about rucking 1 have learned from farm apers. 1 take four anil I don't be Heu' 1 ever get a copy of any of l-ctii that didn't contain some infor r.intion worth the price of the paper, <nd often many times the price of year's subscription: The best trucker's journal that 1 know of is ?he Market Growers Journal, Louis ville, Ky. Send get a sample copy. 1 g.= t quite a few good ideas and real information from the Experi ment Station at Raleigh, and the Dc lrtnient of Agriculture at Washing en, D. C. Let me remind you of ??.mil thing : The Department of Agriculture keeps a. large forcc of ?iien all the time, searching, study ing, experimenting, trying to be in position to assist the farmer on any abject you can mention. There is iint a grain, vegetable, fruit or oerry but what they have studied from every angle and are in position to furnish you in bulletin form ev erything that you could wish to know about any particular plant. Tells your varieties best suited to different climates, disease and pest that each plant are subject to and U'li'.edies for the same, etc,, etc. In fact -there is not a subject on the farm, in the garden, in the barn, or in the house but what they .vill mail, you bulletins on that par ticular subject just for the asking. ? Write a card : Dept. Agriculture;, 4 times as big as SAN FRANCISCO DUNLOP CITY Throughout the world the productive Dun lop properties cover so vast an area that ? if combined into one place ? they would form a Dunlop City" of over 100,000 acres. IT1I all its greatness, San Francisco occu pies but 26,880 acres. "Dunlop City" ? with over 100,000 acres ? is more than four times as big! And Dunlop City has grown for just one reason ? the uniformly supreme quality of Dunlop Tires. Great size brings great responsibilities. To protect the good name of "Dunlop City," every set of Dunlop Tires must be uniformly supreme. The* manufacturing advantages which Dun lop's great size have brought, make this quality possible ? a- lower prices than ever. You can expect more of Dun lops.

'Hint in lit In- alright with a big grain or cotton farmer, but soinctim 's it seems to uu' that there arc dozens of principles, any of winch arc in disponsible with a gardener. So much so that right now I a.'-i gues: - inn which way to go with this, lor I could sit anil write or talk fori hours on a dozen or more subjects, t any of which play a very important . pai l with a gardener's success. In j the l"*t year there has been unite a : lot mole interest anionic the _ farm is] in trucking and poulu'.v - raising than before, all of which I am Khld to see. i Hut listen. ISriMher Famiei't il ' you are an amateur at t,|ui trucking j name, better go a littli1 slow tintii [ you learn a little about it, for 1 tell | you now there is iju it e a dilleronec | between truck farming and breaking j up a little patch of ground in the j spring for your wife to make a lit tle garden. 1 want you to get into tins work, but at the same time 1 want you in, to succeed and stay m it. Begin by planting a few rows "> a small lield of the things the barm i Agent advises. \\ ill stop right here . to say that at present we have m> Agent, but feel sure we will have be- | fore long. Also to gay that 1 have , always been heartily in favor of a J Farni Agent, Home Demonstrator. ] too. The agent will tell you which part of your land is best suited to certain crops; what kind of fertil izer to use under each crop and how much. If he don't tell you what you think is enough, use more. I use from 300 to 150t> lbs. per acre of high-grade. Different analysis under different, crops. , 1 had a pretty good farmer anil an awfully good fellow to tell me the other day that he was going to plant an acre of celery next year and wanted to know what I thought about i it. My reply was like this? "\\ hat kind are you going to plant: What kind of land are you going to put it on? How much and what kind ot ; fertilizer are you going to use? Have I vou ever had any experience raising eelerv plants? Did you ever bleach, pack "and market much celery? A? 1 questions were answered No. .Then I said, "Well. 1 think you ' would be a D ? fool. It costs from three to live' hundred dollars to raise the plants, set. cultivate, bleach, pack and .market an acre of celery, so for a man unfamiliar with celery raising to plant an acre would be very unwise." This prin ciple applies to any other crop. Jly 1 advice to him was to plant, say two ? or three thousand. See how he likys it and if things go good, in a year or two he can be setting an acre or more. Go easy with an> crop that you know nothing about. Then most farmers think that it takes verv rich soil, possibly a gar den spot," to truck on. Any well drained soil not too rolling that will make from twenty-five to forty bushels corn per acre if properly fertilized, will make good truck. One of a trucker's best friends is clover 1 would nearly as soon have clover and fertilizer as to have stable ma nureT With some crops 1 would rather have it. With things developing as they are. there is no doubt in my mind that in a very few years ours will be one of the foremost counties in this state as to dairying, trucking and poultry raising. Sc. Brother Farm ers, take new courage. Things are going to happen and happen fast for awhile. With the assistance of a Farm Agent, the diligent reading of i farm papers, what your boy has ! learned in High School and what j your wife has learned in the gartien. j you will out come alright. I could sit and write for hours and hours about this subject that my whole heart is in, but won't impose on the paper man for any more of his valuable space. C. C. YONGUE.
