What I Saw Last Week.
Well I did not see much, and
t et l saw several things-of Inter
est to me. The first thing to be
mentioned is the splendid spirit,
1 founiLevery where in Polk coun
ty among the farmers to 'stop
the washing of their fields. At
B. McSwain's I saw fields'
that had begun to . wash badly
entirely healed. 1 We 'will - meet
there after a little to exchange
Tiews among farmers and dis
cuss ways and means of accom
plishing these things on every
farm. Then I took dinner1 with
Mr. C. N. Hines f urthur- down
in Greens Creek township, who
is doing some splendid -' work in
soil improving and building pas
tures. He began the 12th day
of last March and has - turned an
old washed away gullied old field
into a good pasture, and - healed
the gullies with just a little brush,
pass seed and elbow grease.'
which every farmer can do who
till, I then called on, Mr. Ken
Miller, way over on tne river
I near , Green Rivet church; and
tad Mr. Miller alive and red
hot after his gulliesr Within two
more years he will not have a
gully or bare place on his farm.
Then I. passed K. Hamilton's
place and I could not believe my
eyes. So I tied up bid Dixie and
looked Mr. Hamilton up and pat
ted him on the back and called
Aim all sorts of a good fellow be
cause he had gone and done .what
I insisted that he should do.
That was that be take his mow
is? machine andcut the briars
and weeds on his old fields and
put them over w the- raw places
and gullies, and if you don't be
leire that this will improve a
place; just go along the road in
front of Mr. Hamilton's place
and see for yourself. And Mr.
Hamilton has just begun what he
means to do. Then just out the
wad lives John Carpenter. He
has been known as just - plain
hhi Carpenter; but he has taken
the second growth and he will be
known in the future as Mr. John
Carpenter. He has cleamed up
his branches, and is preparingvto
transform those hidious gullies
looking down upon Ms house into
living green. He is also starting
the renovation of his old pasture
fields into real pastures. - He is
Planning also to put a coat of
Paint on his house and install a
wing plant and running; water
jn his house and make his" yard
Mo a beautiful lawn. Then who
M say that Mr. John Carpenter
Joes not live there. ' And who
iOws what is in his-neadr It
ay be that there may be a Mrs.
ihn Carpenter there for all the
iter knows (?) f I saw all these
:gf and much in between
fese (places. I i mention: these
ngs to show how farmera are
taking to the importance of
lT for their soil and Prevent-:
it from washing away; Our
"smust be rebuilt and then by
e use of legumes and'sod 'erops
ever allowed to run down again.1
Pigs? in the pen .and i caringffor
poultry and the iamily cow. It
is ajso the season when the farm
er looks both ways, while he is
gathering in4 , his harvests, he
looks back over hi fresh trodden
ways through his fields he has
come and should be able to
measure up his. successes fail
ures then look forwardwith re
newed energy to the coming
year Yes, October is the month
of all months in the year to be
gin planning for the next; cover
crops should be sown, rye; oats
vetch and many combinations of
grains and legumes for soil im
provements and hay crops next
spring and summer to prevent
those expensive .hay bills- that
will have to be settled with hard
earned cash. Then- the small
grains crops must be looked af
ter now, wheat; oats, rye, and
barly should Have rtheir place on
every farm. So October is not
6nly the most pleasant, most ar
tistically beautiful, but the most
hustling and most1 important
month in the year, if there is
suoh a thing as one-month -being
more important - than another.
So let us all think, act and enjoy
the great and blessed month of
October this year, if ' never V be
fore and never again.
