(TlYiT W- ' : ' C. BUSH, Publisher Volume XXVII No. 40 Tha Or.!y Pep OUifcOUHTV AGENT'S "MPARTf.lEfJT Some Timely Talks to Polk County Fzrnisrs, and others, ca Timely Sub- jcvw, uT vuuniY Hgent, J. It Sams. - To The Farmers of Polk County. In these strenuous days of money shortage in the hands of farmers. I desire to call attention to a few things that can be done that will help very much. 1st. ; The wood ashes that' ac cumulate from hard wood burned in kitchen stoves and fire places on the farm should not be thrdwn aside as useless; but should be scattered over the garden." Irish potato patch, cabbage patch and etc. Also all ashes at saw yards, and other places where wood has J been consumed should be used. 2rd. All barn yards, hogpens, hen houses and other places where farm" manure accumulate, should be raked and scraped and applied to corn fields, gardens and etc. V - 3rd. Leaves from forest and shade" trees that accumulate in the yards and lots should hot be burned, but used for bedding where people keep live stock in their stalls" and where they keep no live stock it should be used on the cultivated lot or garden and if no garden, then give to the neighbor who does have one. Don't burn any thing that will add humus to the soil. 4th. Let me lovingly insist that they quit the habit of burn ing corn stalks and brush pn their farms. As long as you have a gullyor TleoT off Hand or even thin land that ' will 'riot produce good corn; Don't burn brush, just common brush which most farmers pile into heaps and burn, spread it over your old poor pastures and sow some red top and Japan Clover under it and see in two years.what it will do for the land and for. the pasture. Try it on a small scale and you will burn no tnnrp hmsh while you have - a gully or poor land. ' : carloads of cement and 10 cars loads of f ertilzers will be handled for cash ; this spring, besides tnousand or twelve hundred dozen eggs and other lines of produce. Now we want to think together, as whole county unit; and tO this ATir) WTCt QUO Aalli'nm a i faiiueira m roiK county, mem bers Of the Farmers Federation and non-members to meet at the Farmers Warehouse in Tryon N. v. iu.ov, a. in. may tne u, as well as all bankers, merchants and other business and pro fessional men in a general picnic forthe purpose of : thinkine to gether for the general uplift, of Folk county. Wehaveat last learned that there is rib progress made by the different classes of business men in a county to know each other. All business interests in a county should be friendly and cooperate in build ing each others interests, To this end let every business group m the county, do its level best td aid in bringing out the best thought at the picnic at Tryon May 17, for the greatest develop ment of every interest in Polk County. :: .-. .

C. The main purpose of this meeting is to get farmers and business men of the country together for a better un derstanding of their' business relations. The Farmers Fed- eration is hot an institution to de stroy anything that should not be destroyed; but an institution to foster and build up everything in the county that should be built We want every member of the Farmers Federation to be present that day in order that he or she may better understand the duty of a member and become more loyal arid enthusiastic to it. We want every farmer in the county who is not a member of the Fed eration to be at this meeting to learn more of its aims and ' pur poses, and become a member in order to make the Federation strong that it may answer the purposes fori which it was organ ized. We want the business men of the county to be at this meet ing to shake hands ' with f the farmers an4 learn more of each others joys and sorrows, success es and failures, that they may sympathize with each other in sorrow' and rejoice with each other in success. We want the ladies of Tryon, Saluda, Colum bus, Greens Creek, Cooper Gap, and White Oak Township to come together as a Farmers Picnic such as has never been before in Polk county. Then we want the ladies of Tryon, Saluda and ; Co lumbus to meet with the wives and children of tHe farming sec tions of the county arid' learn more of each other. We want this to be a get together day that will be remembered' to the com ing generation. We : will have speakers to set forth the farmers view point of cooperative,market ing. The farrri women have a committee that will see after something to eat, arid we will try and have 1 some hot coffee, chocolate or tea, or some4 of all.
