MADE MANY FRIENDS Tryon lias lost a wide awake character in the moving of Mr. William Ellsworth. Mr. Ellsworth has gone to Atlanta, Ga., to accept another position in the same line of work that he made such a success of while in Tryon. He was asociated here with the Tryon Development of which he was Vice President. His great work for this concern did much to advance the Company's interests and he was a great booster for Tryon and this whoje section of the country. His ability as a sales director for .high class developments has won for him a great reputation, and his valuable services In Tryon will be greatly missed. ( Edited Small Paper Her'e During the last few months of Mr. Ellswarth activities in Tryon he was editor for a paper that was pub- j lished in the Interests of the poperty owners of Lake Lanier, this publication won great fame for him throughout lli0 entire country, it was a clean little organ, full of interesting data and was pronounced a very v creditable sheet from those who ? were in position t0 know. Last fall n Mr. Ellsworth opened up the selling 1' campaign for the Gillette Estates, and the campaign was a marked sue- 11 cess from every angle. He also con- 1 tributed many valuable articles for '' the local weekly paper, and many a times his advice was sought along ' the lines of publicity matters. a it Made Many Friends Here v lioth Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth made host of friends while in Tryon, and their departure will be regretted " from many circles. That he will ^ succeed "in his new undertaking is jp an unquestionable fact, his genial V personality and master selling ability will make his services a real as- 1 set to the new firm whom lie will be associated with. A news reporter iutervieded Mr. Waverly Hester this morning regarding Mr. Ellsworth a and Mr. Hester spoke of hint in a laudable manner, he stated that Mr. Kl'sworth, was a man of great I character, and had done much to help Lake Lanier, he also stated i that his leaving was a great loss to the Tryon Dev lopment Company, but ht. realized that he had a chance to enter into a larger field of endeavor and could onlv congratulate o bint in bettering his condition. May Return Later on Mr. Hester stated that Mr. Ellsworth may .yet he induced to return to Tryon at some later time, and expressed his keen desire that he might see his way clear to do so. The Polk County News wishes abundance of real success for him in his new venture and sincerely hopes that again soon lie will decide to return to (hp "Unspoiled Paradise" where he lias host of good friends.

Ely of the Uniersity of Wisconsin, one of our 'dost and best know living econolists, says with regard to the tenai*' j roblems: "Tenancy may be a good an it iay he an evil; as we find it in the Jni'.ed States, it is partly a good and j iartly an evil. We cannot exercise ! ny sound judpmen| in regard to enancy, unless we have some stand- < rd of measurement?in other words, 11 less we have in our minds an ideaj rhich it is desirable to approach." When tenancy is a stepping-stane o ownership, it is a good thing. A oung white farmer who rents land o make profits to buy his own farm ains his Experience and start irr life hrough tenancy. There are instances .here land values are so high that t is cheaper to rent than td buy. dany individuals, are fbenants be-, ause they are lacking in the neces try intelligence, initiative, thrift, .ixl energy to be owners. However, the individual who is a enant labors under a severe handiap to his best self-expression. I A onununity made up of any considerbl0 tenant population is usually a iackward one. A tenant is at most shifting element, his average stay n a farm being about two years. J lis primary concert: is a maximum if production with a minimum of uftput.

J. \V. Bailey in this week's paper. If any farmer didn't get the idea fully in his mind, he tvould do well to get out Mr. Bailey's article once again and study it just as carefully as he ever studied an arithmetic or geography lesson in school. We have go to do a whole lot more such downright hard studying if we ever get anywhere with our farm problems. Thafs one trouble with us n now?we have let other folks solve '' our prob'ems and they have solved them to their advantage instead of c. ours. d So we would repeat: let's study ?< about this Southern hedge selling f till we get the matter clearly in mind. And if anybody dosen't understand it fully let him ask us some further questions. le; In effect, as Mr. Baily points out, fii most cotton put on the spot market th recentl yhas been sold twice: (1) by TI the producer as spot cotton and (2) we by the buyer as a hedge or protected ,so sale on the future market. Ordi- ah narily, there are lots of speculators lei ready to take up or offset these lied- Ai ges, but when in a little more than co three months about 85 percent of the tw cotton crop is rushed to market, as j the Wall Street Journal says, there re is much more hedge selling that the li? bull speculators can absorb.

The South is an ideal dairy counr. He mild climate cuts out the cessity for elaborate and expensive ildings. The markets are the only es not already facing an over- j oduction and a surplus of dairy cts. fluid milk brings a third ire in the South than in the Mid> West and New Eugland. If dairyin in these sections can produce Ik ship it South and at the same ue make a profit, how much more mid Southern dairymen make by oduciug and marketing milk at me! IVobably the biggest asset to a eat dairy industry In the South a solution of the "feed problem." le South can grow all kinds of hay d silage crops. Her permanent stures last longer aud her tempory pasture crops are more uumers than in any other section. Abzzi rye is coming to be looked on as a standby for late fall, win and early snrine erazintr Sudan as anil sweet clover offer abunnt grazing during the hot, dry nuner months. T0. the farmer who is struggling ler year, dairying offers a cash Inline with a regular income every >nth that means a more comfortlie living. He must realize, hower, that dairying is a seven daj? lhe week, 365 days in the year I), beginning before day and endg with dark, and pays larger pros than one-crop farming simply c:iuse the business affords oppornity for two tilings: (1) More work-hours per year. (2) A greater use of brains and inlligence in tin. work. The man who would go into dairyg must also realize that it is not business one can g0 into this year id get out of next year withut avy lpss. We can't buy cows and iId barns and then puit. However for the stick-to-it man 110 is willing lo go into the bustss for 365 days in the year and a el imp at that and breed cows as 111 as milk cows we predict success. 5 imatie epiidi;ions h re are favorilc, and good foundation stock is aiiablo and reasonable. The South ieds dairymen with patience, proessiveness, anil a will to breed and ow inlo lire business. These pio er breeders have blazed the trail doubt to scientific dairying.? 10 Progressive Farmer.
