To Polk County Farmers.
Of all times since the ; reconstruction-
days- after, the Civil
War; now is the greatest time
for farmers to think ; yes to think
accurately philosophically and
right to the point. J p.'. -
It seems that farmers in Polk
county ' fully realize that sme
thing must rbe: done rielatiye,; .to
future operations in the way ."of
farming in this county."; They
have lost faith in growing cotton
with commercial fertilizers, : and
with the high .cost of fertilizers
and labor, that went into the last
crop of cotton and the low price
for which the crop sold;-there is
no wonder that the farmer is
'Blue" over the situation, and
the hope of the f uture relative to
growing cotton. Now is there
any remedy? Cant the farmer
drop cotton entirely, or' partly
out of his farm crops and support
his family and have cash to pay
tax and for other cash purposes?
This is a very pertinent question
and one that must-be thought
out as above stated arid , then
those thoughts promptly and
vigorously acted upon and' put
into substantial operation
on the farms. ." . . -
Many thousands of . dollars
went out of Polk County last
year to pay for-the poorest kind
of hay. when the very richest
of legume hays from cow .peas,
soy beans, velveksnssorg
hum; oatsah
end of long cfepters. ; Tn fact
there is no limit the natural
resources of hay' malring.iir this
county and at halfttKe cost of

side.id thisihome grown hay

is easily double in-
cuxxuuxmxx
way to drop off part of; the cot-
tonxsroite And there is this dif-
- ..
ference'
and. f eed-it to more and better
livestock returning the manure
to the land, and your land is
growing better instead of rapidly
running down under the old
system; - Then it! is certainly
demonstrated that as fine grasses
for hay arid grazing purposes,
can be, grown as- profitably m
Polk" county as anywhere. )-; ;
Yes, pastures for grazing both
summer ana. winter, ana- again
your land wilt not wash. Now
no one must accuse me of being
an enemy; togrowirig cotton, for
under prorter conditions arid, in a
sane, way, it thinlCi cotton can, be
grown profitably as a cash crop,
but not as it ; has. been, grown.
Neither must you' accuse of" be
ing visionary or theoretical,i until
you adopt my preachments about
growing legume and grassy hay
and paslaire eropsi. and find, it to
be untrue! only! visit any country . - Joshua Hodge -north

choose; and as stated in the be

the time of all times to think and
to act. Thislis exactly my mis
sion in Polkn Wh

farming and by so!doirigEmake

eastern section of N C or .V to

are still some, remaining gullies
and washed away fields on which
I iould bestow sympathy . and
continue my- labor. ,

to think and act for the . coming

" Now following up suggestions
that have already been made
relative to community clubs, .can
such . clubs be organized and
maintained m the county. ? Let
me" state what is", going ont at
liiil Srping, one of the best corhr
munity centers in Polk ' county.
Now remember; I did not say
the best ; Ihut one ' of the best
ceiiteri,Vdtlcer8 are several
bthersJ perhaps ' as good, and pos
sibly better; but I started to tell
what v they: are actually doing.
Two years ago we began devel
opmga community interest and it
was hard work to get from
half dozen to a dozen people to
the meetings. Now" they meet
twice a .month and the school
room is crowded every night, of
course no great operations have
grown out of these meetings yet
as they? have up- to . this time
been used as a means of creating
the brotherly? spirit,' community
oneness of thought and interest,
and the general get together feel--
iveipdySHBtt
all this time it has notl ad been
talk only. . The community spirit
has taken such hold on these
people that they are planning to
vote a soecial tax and accept a
