Misses Mayme and Lula Gibbs and Miss Dorcas Edwards spent Satur day night with Misses Minnie and Cora Womack. Miss Lula Gibbs was the dinner I have .been writing about the im portance of stopping land from wash- ine away and building it back to a state of fertility that will pay to either cultivate, or put to permanant pastures. jHow. can this , be done. One way is to just turn .it over to nature,: of course this is a slow way : but better, thai to keep on cultivat ing it making the case , worse each succeeding year. Weeds, briars, grass and bushes will eventually take it and finally rebuild the soil, and in a long time make it just 5as good as ever Another ..way is to help nature, cut and haul brush, straw, weeds and other refuse Srom otKer parts of - the farm that do rot need them so badly and fill) all guies and bare paces and let alorke fxrept to scatter some grass seed anVespedeza seed. This is an other shjjf" rjway. As it "will work djffc ttire, is helped, perhajneg of aeapest in the long ii smart VifWL money and labor fthe plctT oeY-Jlion. The step iffelt thicUng-liid is to water t modeArryin away the and later tne foundation ciay. cannot bej re-built, ir kept where it is good; if water is permitted to flow over it. Winter cover crops afford don't get discouraged if it takes a few years to -build up a good perma- neflt pasture out of an bid gullied up field. But it can be done and not much work. The first thing to do is to make up your mind to do it. The second thing to do is to roll up your home by gravity lines from JPoUc county's splendid jnountains. ; I dreamed, that fussing . oyer politics and making blockade liquor had be come a forgotten art and that every body had learned the golden rule to do unto others as ye would they should do to you. At this time that .awiul snort of that power plant whistle sounded for everybody to getready, for) breakfast -and I awoke .again, realizing that it was all a dream; but that when 20 years shall have sleeves and go at it. The third thing I elapsed I shall expect to return to ot do is to stick to your job like a postage stamp sticks to a letter till the thing is done simplest kind of thing, and just as interesting as sim ple after you get well started who will be first to start? Polk county, .hale and hearty, and find my last dream .almost literally fulfilled. So now the way to make this dream a reality, is Xor everyone to get busy and help do it. , Now why not everybody get CRAZY just for two or three years ? It don't take that much time long to slip off. I don't want anybody to go crazy all the time; but I do want to That Community s.Club. We must make .them hum-this fall and winter. My duties .have called me from place to place lately, so that 1 1 could not attend these . meetings, hereafter they will be held as often first stop soil Soil see a few farmers get crazy yesl as the comunity may desire and must lots of them and get -bad crazy, sol crazy that they -will talk day andj night about their land washing away and how to stop it, and then how to make it rich again so it will again feed their wives and children and have some to spare vco their cousins be made more attractive. Commun ities cannot prosper jand .progress without organizing. We must learn the importance of getting together and working together and thinking together. Now about our Fairs. I know it who are almost on starvation n the I has been a hard year for farmers to coyer one of the1 best means of preventing city.

I was rooming in Wautauga building and after that .awful eleven o'clock whistle made the earth and Watauga building tremble, 1 was soon wafted" into dreamland and I dreamed that I went away from Polk county. I dreamed that as I went out I beheld the old fields all scarred with gullies. I thought there had been a great storm and the cotton fields and corn fields had their . ter races broken and the soil and fertil izers, corn stalks and cotton skalks were piled along the . road, having been washed down from the bare v. fields. I dreamed that Pacolet river and White - Oak creek had overflowed 11 their banks ten. times after the plant- uig ui tuiu auu i,ui(WU uivic timvi was harvested. I thought I saw bare foot men and women little boys and girls in the hot sun mending terraces as if the -terraces would .keep back the waters of the next Tbig rain. Well I 5wnlcA in tears and .nh?. for the neo-i pie I had learned to love so .much.- Then I dropped off to sleep and O,' the sweet .dream I again had.
