Mark these (,ates on your calander. A conservative estimate of lhe amount of lime used by North Carolina farmers last y^ar would be about 65,000 t'>ns says one lime company, judications are that the Tar heel farmers are learning the value of lime in improved ag riculture and will continue to more and more. Owing to the feet that Dr. W. S. Green has spent several thousand dollars in equipment^ for handling coal, and is now in position to serve . the public, promptly and efficiently, we are discontinuing the business. Take our advice and place your or ders early. Prices are advancing. x Tryon Coal Company Our Fairs This Fall. 1st. Are they worth while? 2nd. Who will they benefit? 3rd. Of what use are they? 4th. What can they be? 5th. Shall we have a Community Fair in each Township; or one great Community Fair at Co lumbus? 6th. ' What will they be? Here are six questions about fairs in Polk County that should be answered by the best thinking citizens in all lines of business in the County. These fairs, if held, will ma terially effect all agriculture beneficially in the county, which will stimulate all busi ness in the county .We think a short discussion of these ques tion in order. 1st. Are they standpatter and chronic worth while? kicker say NO. The pro gessive farmer and business man say Yes. Which shall we follow? There is no agency just now that can be made so help ful along educational lines that can benefit the farmer so much as the Community Fair: Provided he will take advan tage of what it offers ? The prepartion and standardiza tion, grading and packing farnyj products for the market will mean much more to the farmer in the future than in the past. The famer has hitherto been a producer, and a producer alone. He has relied on the rest of mankind to give him a market; and the only market he has ever had is just such as the unorganized public would offer. Growing the crop is about one half the farmers business, and selling it the other. Our Community Fairs this fall should be made the marketing schools in which farmers and other business men and women can meet and discuss fully the needs and re quirements of the markets and Tiow to meet these needs. 2nd. Who will these fairs benefit? When properly conducted and understood, and attended by both farmers and business men; All classes of. human society will reap benefits from them. 3rd. Of what use? There are 'several uses for the Community Fairs. They are direct fr^m the State College of Agriculture which is an out j growth of the old farmers in- j stitute, in which not only the preparation of commodities for market can be learned; but the treatment of soils and the best methods of farming be dis cussed among farmers them selves and by specialists who j may attend these fairs: More over, they are the greatest among the people of the whole township or territory served by the fair. 4th. What can they they be? Well: that is a question of the imagination. I don't know what a township like Greens Creek could do ; if it would realize the importance of the matter and do its best. Any community or individual, gets out of any thing, just what they put in, in money, brains and enthusiasm, plus a a good big interest on the prin cipal. 6th. Shall we have a Community Fair in each town ship, or one great Community j Fair at Columbus? Farmers as they talk* to me differ some what; but I am sure the great majority of famers favor both. That is a real Community Fair in each township, and then at the close of these fairs,, have a great consolidated Communiity Fair at Columbus and allow all who got 1st., 2nd., and 3rd. ? prizes bring them to Columbus, , with any other citizen of Polk or adjacent counties to com pete for prizes at Columbus. We would like to hare the opinion of farmers and busi ness men and women of Polk I County on the question. 6th. What will they be? That question depends on the , peo ple of Polk County. They will be according to our faith and works. If we believe we should have these fairs and go to work now to produce some i thing of excellent merit to put on these fairs by hard ? work from now till then, and then in the end bring our efforts to the fair. They will be a great success and Polk County will know more about her own na tural resources her possibili ties, and her s people. ' Now what ,are we going to do about it. Respectfully J. R. SAMS County Agent. Real Estate Changes. % F. P. Bacon and W. J Gaines bought the Mrs. M. D. Ken worthy property fronting on Melrose Avenue. The trans action was made through Blake and Calhoun, Real Estate Agents. Several changes will be made in the property, im provements to be started in the near future. Homer E. Ellertson, artist, who for several seasons has been painting a number of scenes in and about Tryon, re cently bought property in Glen walden. Mr. Ellertson return ed to Tryon this spring after a visit of six months in Europe. Following a brief yisit to be made with relatives in the N6rth during the next month or so, he will return to Tryon to begin the construction of his new studio. The transac tion was made through Blake and Calhoun as agents. MRS. HEYWARD TO READ AT LIBRARY Those who were not fortun ate enough to hear the read ings of Mrs. Heyward of Char leston during her visit in Try on of mid-winter will be Re lighted to learn that she will render another programme Friday night of this week at 8:30 o'clock at the Library under the auspices of the Par ent-Teachers Association. The proceeds from the en tertainment will be set aside as a fund for the salary of librar ian to be maintained during the summer months at the School Library. Mrs. . Hey ward's dialect read ings are known throughout the country and Tryon once again feels itself fortunate in secur ing the services oi this reader of a dialect that is rapidly be coming extinct even in its native place ? the .South- Caro lina Coast. A RECIPE FORI PRESERV - ING CHILDREN. A recent hiealth bulletin says, "Take one large grassy field, one half dozeii children, two or three small dogs, a pinch of brook and some pebbles. Mix the children aiid dogs well to gether and put them in the field stirring constantly. Pour the brook over the pebbles; sprinkle the fie?d with flowers; spread over all a deep, blue sky and bake in the sun. When brown, remove and set to cool in a bathtub/' This leads .home demon stration workers of the State College and State Department of Agriculture to observe that spring is a good time to start preserving chijdren as well as eggs or fruits., Letting folks know you have fresh eggs, . butter or other farm products for sale is a simple matte * if you let The .News tell th em about it.
