POLK COUNTY NEWS C. BUSH, Publisher' H. M: FRA5ER, Editor Phone 99, Published every Thursday at Tryon, North CaroNna H,ow often we have heard the statement, "When the busi ness-men of Tryon finally de cide to 'get-together' this com munity will begin to flourish?" Resort towns, both summer and winter, in all sections of the United States have learned (,r are learning, and profiting by the value of sticking together" and working toward one com mon interest, ? the upbuilding of the community. No better reputation could be given any community than that its citizens always work together for the benefit of the community in which they live. No community can prosper as it should when its people are disposed to stand apart when called upon to decide a question affecting the general welfare. Harmony is the greatest factor in upbuilding. One of the elements contrib uting largely to the amazing growth of Florida resort towns has been the disposition of the business men and civic organ izations toward "sticking to gether" and working hard to put over every worth-while proposition. Tryon is fortunate in the lo cation alloted to it. It is for tunate in the climate vouch safed it. It* has men of ability and energy to build it up. But if there is not the ability to work together in the utmost harmony and with the utmost solidarity of purpose, aH of the other things will be of no avail I in creating here such a city as j we all hope to see here in the next decade. SOIL EROSION CONTROL j : (Continued from pag 1) English Ivy (Hedera helix) ! is fine because it roots all along ! the length of its stem, making the best binder in the world. It is ornamental and not weedy. Easily obtainable through nurserymen and com mon in Tryon gardens. We cou>d supply some. Virginia creeper (Ampelop sis puinesisfolia) is to be recommended for all the rea sons that English Ivy is, and it j is even more plentiful. It grows wild in the woods around J Tryon, is common in gardens, I and obtainable in large quanti ty from nurserymen. We ! could supply some also. Terracing, staking, covering ? with brush might all be tried | also, and in connection with reclamation by planting. Ob- ! viously no annual plants, such as the ordinary cereal and le gume crops and other cover crops will be of any effect, un less the first year while seed ings of permanent soilbinders j are growing. Clover, Japan clover (Lespedeza might all be uned at first, perhaps, but the idea is probably not to be rec ommended. No propogation from seeds should be attempt ed. The thing to do is to get voiy; permanent binder plants right in. I have listed them in ascending order of importance. Vines will be the best, I should say. The Httle plant which you sent me is loosestife (Lysi- 1 machia quadrifolia) which is one of the two representatives i of the primrose family which we \ have around Tryon. It is com mon in June throughout the | piedmont, but as i had no ! specimen of it for my Tryon herbarium, I was glad to get it. ! Donald C.

Some Essentials of a| Progessive Sunday School j o ; BIRD MOUNTAIN FARM Continued frpm page 1) | stance, he has live pastures, in i which he has sowed Dallas igrass, red top clover, carpet grass, white clover. Lespodisa |and other varieties of grasses, I from which splendid pasturage results have been secured. His herd of ten or twelve Hereford have pastured here from early spring throughout the summer without being fed, except at ; milking time. He also has j some ten or twelve sheep and1 a large number of hogs of the Hampshire variety. There are several acres in a splendid vine- 1 yard on his farm from which a large yield of Niagara and Del aware grapes was harvested t'lis season. He also has some 30 acres in alfalfa, from which was realized in the total cut tings this year almost a ton to | the acre. There are 30 acres i here in cotton, and the boll | weevil has not been able to do | any damage in this high alt i- | tucle. The stalk and fruitage \ of the cotton will compare favorably with any field in Spartanburg county. Mr. Gentry has about 100 old bearing peach trees and about ! 800 apple trees bearing. In ad dition' he set out last spring 3500 young Elberta peaches, and will plant about 400 more apple trees this fall. Soil Improving. Mr. Gentry is a great believer in soil improving, and is prac- ( ticing his belief. He lias here 1 about forty acres in peas, which will be turned under to 1 further enrich the soil, and i when the pea vines are planted, 1 vetch and rye and other winter ; cover crops will* flourish about j them. Manager Peck n ell of the farm, j who has been here for the past three years, says that every j year 30 oi 40 bushfels of peas [ are sowed, ami turned under. SpeciaJize on fruit Production Mr. Gentry and his manager during the coming farm year j will specialr/e heavily on fruits j and then in order will come the general farming and cult i \ation of grain and forage crops. Bird mountain farm is a busy ! place every day in the year, j and t here is a refreshing di versity to Bird Mountain. The old beaten path of everything, in cotton except a roasting ear patch or two in the bottoms, is missing from this picture of progressive, modern tiHing and 1 building up the soil.?
