FRIDAY, FEBURARY 2i, 1919. $2.00 A YEftr FOR BUSY TIMES POLK COUNTY. Various Organizations Relating to Bettering Farm Conditions Will be Pushed. - fm FARMERS ARE BEING AROUSED. According to previous call, the Good citizens ot Polk county assem bled in large numbers, on Monday, Feb. 3rd, and in meeting assembeled, by a unanimous vote decided to or ganize a Board of Trade to take care of every legitimate business in the county. To this end a. committee of five was I appointed on organization, to 'secure data and report to another meeting of citizens for further action; Now the movement is for Polk county's betterment in every way im aginable, and every citizen should get his best thoughts to work, along the line of his own business, and see if he cannot aid this committee in devising: the best organization possible, and one that will do the work I will be in Raleigh next week and will seek all aid possible. Then on my return will call a meeting of farmers in each township for a full discussion and un derstanding of the movement, and see if the farmers of the county will or ganize by townships, and then the county. A it is, every man is for himself, and "THE DEvIL TAKE THE HINDMOST." We must better these things. I have just made an effort to give the farmers of the coun ty nitrate of soda -through govern ment channels,at cost, and have made a signal failure because the farmers have no kind of organization through which we could use car lots . It will be no trouble to organize the bank, - the merchant, manufacturer, etc., but the farmer. And I am sure by this time that the farmers of Polk county. are wide enough awake to ii.k -warn. MZ f what 1 s coming if they do not ' organize. Ample : notice of these meetings and when they are publish ed 1 vnt every farmer in the county to feel that his imperative duty on that day is to attend : this meeting: f ' morr. or ioss,.tne aesrany oi nemcr this year. Then another ; feature of this work will be another system of poultry, schools, next August, by Mr. Ivey, who Will - bring to pure bred poultry growers the latest noultrv in formation and hold a poultry house Duiiaing demonstration in each town ship. This will be a new feature of the work; and Polk county will have the distinction of being f the x first county to start such an Witernrise. This will ,be worked out fully by the people themselves; by a well arranged plan. ' ;- Respectfully, J, R. SAMS, County Agent.
