FAIR PROGRAM TO BE PUSHED.
. The Directors of the Polk County
Fair Association met at the Bank of
Tryon, Tuesday afternoon, with
chairman Cobb presiding. Many im
portant matters came before the
Board. It was decided to ask all per
sons in Polk county to become mem
bers of the Association, in order that
it might stimulate interest. The
Fair will be handled the same way
this year as last, that is, premium
monies will be raised by voluntary
contribution. No fees will be asked
f tVmco who become members of the
Association. Membership tickets will
be issued in duplicate and placed in
the hands of the directors in the var
ious townships. These tickets will
be signed, the member retaining one
portion, the other returned to . the
Secretary, who will at once enroll the
signer as a member of the Associa
tion. The President was empowered to
appoint the Premium List and Prize
.Committees.
: It was decided to have three days
if the Fair this year instead of one
at last year, and the date was set for
October 9, 10 and 11. The first day
will be devoted entirely to entries, and
lit is hoped thereby to avoid the con
fusion which arose on - account of - so
jjnany late entries, last year.
Chairman Cobb was authorized to
contract for space in the POLK
COUNTY NEWS to give out such in
formation to the officers and direc
tors, as well as members, as to what
was being done, and keep everybody
fully informed as to the progress be
fermade. - -
Now that the date has been- set; let
everybody in Polk county arrange to
grow something' orrdisplay this year.
Suitable awards will be made, and it
is hoped that there will be' many, en
tries in all departments. It is more
;than probable that a suitable pre
mium will be allowed for the finest
garden display. Let every garden
raiser in Polk county compete for this
prize. .

Because of the present world short
age of food, supplies and the urgent
2all from Europe to this country for
such supplies as can be shipped, it is
imperative that every one on the.
land in this country do his utmost to
grow all the food possible. Every
pound of food produced, even if it
may be used at home, releases that
nuch more for shipment abroad. The
object, therefore, of "Thrift Gardens"
s twofold, states Mr. W. N. Hutt
Horticulturist, North Carolina Exten
sion service. First, to promote thrift
and encourage the production of home
supplies, and, second, to. release, food
tor shipment to our allies in distress
n Europe. A well-planned, well
nanaged garden can be made to pro-
l luce an abundant supply of fresh

vill meet the needs of the family the
ear round, and often, in addition,
iave some to spare for those who can
lot enjoy the luxury of a garden- of
;heir own.
The size of the garden in town need
be limited only by the size of the lot,
vhile the garden in the country
should be limited to the supply' of la
)or available to insure its being well
ared for. The hand labor in the
country garden can be reduced to a
ninimum by spacing the rows wide
enough apart to admit of the con
venient use of the horse cultivator.
In the town garden hand labor may be-
greatly facilitated by the use of a
vheel-hoe.
Garden Should be Protected.
It is useless to plant a garden un
ess it is to be protected against the
lepredations of poultry and other
ivestock. In the country, where
ooultry usually has free range, the
langer is not so serious; but in town,
vhere the range is limited, poultry
nust be. confined. ,. The- .garden. f in
own then becomes a valuable source
f green food necessary to profitable
poultry keeping.
A well-planned garden should, in
lude a fairly wide range of crops, at
east wide enough to satisfy the var
ed tastes of all members of the fam- T
ly, and sufficient to provide a bbun
iful succession of produce through
ut the whole year.
