no money with his hogs and his neighbor,

"True tells how he does it and convinces

The story is applicable to many

of the state as well as county

requested the publication in such numbers
that it has been necessary to
reprint the folder in an edition ot
20,000 copies. The first edition or
5,000 were distributed before the publication
had been in circulation a
week.
Those who desire copies of the circular
may secure them from their

THE POLK COUNTY NEWS
ml
Last year 53 such camps were held
in the state. These were attended t>y
972 boys and 1,600 girls. The total
attendance, including visitors and instructors,
as well a syoung people,
amounted to 4,760 persons. ,
According to Dean I. O. Schauo ot
the School of Agriculture, the agents
select some suitable site, either on
the coast, at some mountain retreat
or near some attractive body of water.
The camps usually last for one wees,
and the children must bring the necessary
toilet articles, bedding and, tn
most cases, the food used. Officials
of the county and civic clubs of the
towns have helped to defray the exxponses.
The young people are carefully
chaperoned and regular hours
for work and play are observed.
The county agents report that these
c'ub encampments have proven to be
one of the most popular phases 01
club life. The young people come to
know one another better, and are impressed
with high Ideals of club life
and generally return to their homes
filled with a desire to carry on their
work to a successful conclusion. The
agents take only the leading club
members who are conducting their |
projects according to the rules laid |
down by the Agricultural Extension
Service.
Tom Tarheel says the best Invest- 1
ment in fertilizer that he ever made (
was when he plowed under a nice (
growth of rye and vetch.

we have now learned to make It
cheaply. Moreover, a generation ago
we had few Important hay crops,
whereas the comparatively recent introduction
of soybeans, velvet beans
and Sudan grass,, together with the
new discoveries of legume inoculation
for clover, vetch and alfalfa, have
made it possible for the South to
grow its own hay far cheaper than
western hay can be bought. And not
only have new crops, new discoveries
and new methods enabled us to grow
our own corn and the feed for our
own stock, but the use of these new
crops and new methods also makes It
possible for the South to grow Its
own meat. *
The time has at last come when
our section as a whole can realize
the fulfillment of Henry W. Grady's
eloquent prophecy and dream which
we have published on more than one
occasion, but find it worth while to
keep constantly before our readers:
"When every/firmer in the South
shall eat bread\jrom his own fields
and meat from his own pastures, and
disturbed by no creditor and enslaved
by no debt, shall sit amofig his teeming
gardens and orchards and- vineyards
and dairies and barnyards,
pitching his crops in his own wisdom
and growing them In independence,
making cotton his clean surplus and I
selling it in his own time and in his \
chosen market and not at a master's
bidding?getting his pay in cash and
not in a receipted mortgage that discharges
his debt but does not restore
his freedom?then shall be breaking
the fulness of our .day."
Jusst because our fathers failed to
grow their own corn, hay and meat t
is no reason for our failing to do
so. We must profit by the new discoveries
and new crops pod has given
us. And whether or not the whole
South makes Grady's dream come true
this year and next, it is possible for
each individual progressive farmer to
make that dream come true on his
own farm.
How many of us will seize this opportunity??The
Progressive Farmer.

The old wood stove should be put
