THE FUTURE?
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.

INSURANCE
and building materials
PERMANENT types of con
struction naturally reduce
insurance rates. But their real
value is in the insurance they
themselves give? insurance not
only against fire, but against
deterioration, upkeep and re
placement expense.
Your building material dealer'*
experience is an insurance policy
that costs you no premiums, but
instead saves them. Follow his
advice as to types of building and
building materials.
