§ Fertilizers J
FERTILIZEB IS AN INVESTMENT
NOT AN EXPENSE
How many successful farmers do you know who do hot attribute
their success to proper fertilization? They do not question as
to whether or not they eun sffford to use fertilizer, but rather
can they afford not to; and as :>uailty counts in everything else,
so, also does it count in fertiliser.
Forget the low analysis goods, & thing of the past, and de
termine to make your 1925 farming profitable by using nothing
but
High Analysis Fertilisers
15-5-5 or 12-4-4
The more you invest in high grade fertilizers, the more you
help to
Make Every Acre Do Its Best.

THE FOREST CITY COURIER
25,000 WAITING TO
I COME TO WESTERN
i NORTH CAROLINA
1
The Southern Railway is author
ity for the statement, that in addi
tion to the people who spend their
vacation period in Western North
Carolina now, at least 25,000 more
will flock here the first summer
there are accommodations to care for
them; and that is only the beginning.
, If accommodations can be arranged
for—and these people are informed—
and after spending their vacation
here, return to their respective com
munities satisfied with the accom
i modations and treatment afforded
them, each one can be counted on to
act as an advertiser of this section of
, our state as a vacation resort. So,
the number of regular Western North
Carolina vacationists will increase
each year in proportion to our abil
ity and willingness to care for them.
The situation at present may be lik
ened to that of f,he farmer who
knows he has a productive and con
sequently valuable piece of land and
j allows it to lie fallow. •
By ignoring the possibilities of
providing the right kind of vacation
accommodations for the thousands
who would come here from such
cities as Cincinnati, New Orleans,
Memphis, etc., the citizens, and
speaking more particularly, the far
mers of Western North Carolina, are
practically refusing to accept the
hundreds of thousands of dollars
these vacationists would leave here
each season.
We speak specifically of the far
mer, because it is in large measures
his opportunity that is being lost.
Thousands of people in the cities
mentioned cannot afford to live in
high priced hotels. Thousands more,
particularly those with children, do
not care for the life of the summer
hotels, but choose the change to life
I on the farm with its quiet simplicity
I and closeness to nature, providing,
j the farm house is accustomed and
| considers fundamental and indispen
sable to his comfort, and that the
food is wholesome, of variety and
well cooked.
Western North Carolina, Inc.,
with headquarters in Asheville was
organized to serve all the peoples of
this section of our State. It's execu
tice committee and officers are con
fident that in natural scenic beauty
and invigorating yet equable cli
mate, it is unsurpassed in the United
State. One of its objectives is to
acquaint the people, particularly
those who are accustomed to take
a regular summer or fall vacation,
with the accessibility, charms and
health-giving attributes of these
western counties of our State, then
to induce them tp come here and by
so doing, to provide an added source
of income for the farmer who is pro
gressive enough to realize what that
increase in income will add to his
well-being and that of his family.
There are thousands of such far
mers in Western North Carolina,
men of vision and capacity, who are
willing, and what is more important,
equipped and prepared to accept
from two to ten paying guests this
summer. But they have no means of
advertising the fact. They are, as it
were, cut off from a source of supply
j that means added comfort and in
|, creased prospects. That is where
, Western North Carolina, Inc., can
and will function for them. Western
; j North Carolina, Inc., is now engaged
II in compiling a list of farm houses in
| I this section, in which summer board
| ; ers can be accommodated with profit
► | to the farmer and satisfaction to the
\ | guest. In compiling this list, Western
► North Carolina, Inc., must have the
t assistance of the progressive farmers.
y in every one of our twenty-five
► counties. That assistance will cost

postage to mail a letter informing
[ Western North Carolina, Inc., of this
I desire to increase their income by ac

North Carolina, Inc., will, in turn,
t answer the communication, setting
l\ forth the minimum standard that has
