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.

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. !

| 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.? Spartan- 1
