We have spoken about the tt and present Agricultural ditions in Polk County, Inch we believe to be unsatis tory to the thoughtful mind, ow can these conditions be gade better, or shall they re in as they are, or perhaps grow worSe ? This depends on our state of Bind and our actions in relation reto. ?if the same system of farming land that brought about ^ese conditions be continued; in most assuredly they will .only continue, but will, year year, grow worse until the ills will become swamps or will submerged in water by creek river beds. Now the remedy for all this J in going back to the begin ?og of t he evil and studying Jiises. When the forest was these lands, nature saw to it t wild pea vines and hun fcls of other leguminous fcnts grew luxuriantly among e trees, and made the trees ?tow abundant crops of leaves, Mch fell back to the earth and pplied humus by which these [ume crops thrived and in re ^ there for, the legumes misheri the nitrogen on . hich the trees grew. So here I i have the lesson from nature I give and take. That is then we take crops from the pl? we must give something pck to the ^oil in return for pat which was taken or deple lon will take place. I "e have hundreds of these luminous plants that we f10^' will take free nitrogen fWn the air and place it in the F1'- Their tops when plowed Pder will keep humus in the fuas in tne natural state. I tverv farmer with ordinary P?nion sense and observation iflOws that the soil in the wood Fas does not wash. The rea r* is bee ause of the humus in I?6 soil caused by decomposi |on. ?f leaves and rotting and the turf caused by rootlets of vegetation, r, ere the clovers and grasses lnnfS?-vn on steeP lands, the I rs ln the soil and the decom 1 Sln5 the under blades of | |L??es and clovers furnish fmUar conditions as existed fiuT1 forest was on ^an(^ tr . therefore prevents land f^son or tne was^ns away LJhifs no vague theory with fcrnv Uridation- it has ^een liiH ? on tens of thousands of fcnfar!/1 !)arts ?f the country, trpai 01 sections of our Eion i c??nty? the Piedmont sec |auS(1 J most favored; be | ttle legumes and grasses of both. Coastal and Mountain- 1 ous sections as a general thing thrive in the* Piedmont. Same will ask what is the op portunity? Thp answer is; re build the broken down washed | away soil, by growing all kind of soil building crops, and then j instead of plowing up and again i allowing these rebuilt soils to wash away.; sow them to per manant grasses and build up a ; sod that will hold the soil for ! generations to come. Then the | question will come from those who have not done this kind of farming, what will we do with these sod crops? That question will be answered in an article to j follow. J. S.
