Agricuituril Board Meetins - (Continued -from page 1 fically directing attention to the urgent need of a solution of the marketing problem; which, he said, as at present handled re sulted in greatly restricting pro duction in the county. He stated that there should be -no more difficulty in disposing of all the products that Polk county could possibly raise and at good prices than he had experienced in marketing his apples from the Overbrook Orchard, but that, ' in order to do this, the farmers of the county would have to organ ize, and create the machinery to do the work. It was, he felt, useless to defend upon any of the agencies to do this work, it must be done by the farmer, and until the farmer tackled this proposition himself he y would have the greatest difficulty in disposing of the present very re stricted output of his farm. 1 J. R. Sams followed with an impassioned appeal to the farm ers of Polk county to follow the lead set by the farmers of Bun combe county, who had organ ized and built one warehouse, which had proven so successful that two or three more were now in process of construction. He outlined the methods of the Bun combe county farmers which briefly, were the organization of a corporate body, with a capi talization sufficient to erect a warehouse on the railroad, and the employment of a capable man to handle the products from the farms. The . subscription to stock in this enterprise would be on a basis of fifty dollars per share, with ten dollars paid in. The stock would be a 6 per cent investment, and the dividends, together with the profits of trad ing should there be any would be supplied to payment of the balance until the full fifty dollars should be in the treasury. The method of operation was as sdon as the warehouse should be erected, and a man employed for the farmers to deliver their products and receive payment on a basis to le agreed by the board of management; Products would be received from every farmer in the county, regardless of membership, or possession of stock, and a commission would be charged for handing" it, and sufficient to pay operating ex penses and a guaranteed divi dend ofsay 6per cent. At the end of the year any profit over and above the dividend payment and cost of running the plant, would be distributed to owners of stock in proportion to the quantity of farm product each had marketed through the ware house. He felt, of course,' that this should be a community co operative work, and that every farmer in the county should take stock. No risk was involved in it. It has proven successful in Buncombe county. It has been thoroughly tested out in the state of Minnesota, where there were over three thousand cooper ative associations, which had resulted in marvelously increas ing production on the farms of the state. Moreover, theassocia tion would not only sell the pro duct of the farm, but it would also buy and furnish supplies for the farmer at the low prices that could be secured by purchas ing in large, quantity, instead of as now, each individual farmer buying for himself, and paying retail prices for his supplies, while he only got wholesale prices for what he raised on his farm and found the greatest difficulty at times in' disposing, of his very limited production. He called attention to the fact that 20 pounds of butter would glut the market at Tryon, Saluda or Columbus, ; and the same in other lines, but with proper warehouse facilities, and the right man to run it, shipment of the products of Polk county farms would be made in car lots, and the farmer would not be obliged to go round as he does now-peddling the trifling things he. ventures to raise because of the utter im possibility of disposing of larger quantities. J: R. Sam's address was listen ed to intently by those present, and frequently punctuated with applause. J. W. Dunn, secretary of the Saluda Board of Trade addressed the meeting, dealing in a very comprehensive manner with the ihttv movnw wnwR TRYON. N. 0. PUT WASTE PUCES TO USE Friday, At present conditions in Polk county, so far as regards agriculture; the limitations is now suffering under; the possibilities of the agricultural development of the county; their effects upon; all phases of community life reli gious, educational, social, and particularly on the home life of the tiller of the soil. He spoke enthusiastically in favor of the plan submitted by J. K. . Sams, and urged the farmers of the county to give grave and due consideration to the plan, which, he believed, was the only one that would result in building up Polk county. A short recess was taken -for dinner. On resumption of the meeting, a resolution was offered endorsing the proposition, and carried unanimously, the Advis ory Board was instructed to hold educational meetings on the sub ject in the various townships .; of the county, and to call a mass meeting for the 1st, Monday in June at Columbus where, 'it is hoped, arrangements will be com pleted for a permanent ware house and selling organization. A number of shares were taken at the Green's Creek meeting, and little doubt is felt that when the farmers realize the full meaning of the movement suf ficient stock will be subscribed to put the proposition on a sound financial basis, and immediately thereafter a campaign will be started to get the farmers of the county to raise larger crops to be handled through the warehouse. An Extravagant Dresser. The late cznrof lius.sia had the rep utation of being the most extravagant of European monarchs as regards dress. The bill of his civil tailor Is said to have bordered on $10,000 a year, and that of the military tailor, $15,000. Nevt uinea Love Tokens.

P!vprv- city, village and hamlet has the total of a grea area of land which is not only non-productive, Dnt wnicn Is rendered ; hateful to the sight and deterrent . to the vicinity, as a haven for rubbish and a breeding place for noxious weeds. These waste areas and the-unbeautifuf spaces commonly denominated - as back yards, as a rule, are not fit for garden work in their present " condition. But this con dition ' readily can be changed with some intelligent exertion. The addi tion to this unpromising soil : of manure, lof the fallen leaves fromjthe trees, -and, r sometimes, of ashes ; sifted from the furnace, soon renders it workable and productive. For a time the co-operation of the community of ficials ,might..be necessary as a means of encouragement, but each such waste place transformed into a pro ductive garden of vegetables and flow ers and small fruits would serve asta: compelling example, and; in very few years the results would be beyond calculation. The benefits to be derived from this conversion of waste places Into pro ductive beauty spots cannot be meas ured alone In- dollars and cents. An even greater benefit would lie in the improved morals of the community, in the cultivation of habits of industry on the part of the young especially, and in the beautifying thrift and beauty are the rewards waiting these communities which whole-heartedly and intelligently cultivate in tlie peor pie the natural garden instinct. A national propaganda in this direction would work wonders. Young Trees In Winter. I All very young trees require some attention the first winter; after that they will be established and be able to take care of their own welfare. Therefore, all recently planted trees will be benefited by the hilling of a mound of earth around them, tramp ing It very hard. This keeps the tree from rocking with the winter winds. If this precaution Is not taken with new ly planted stock the trees are apt In swaying back and forth to work a hole around the trunk which reaches clear down to the roots, and It is often fa tal to the newly planted tree. A row of silver maples, one of the easiest of all deciduous trees to transplant, for lack of this precaution were all killed during last winter. 75.25 55.61 Building Bungalow Towns. In London, as in America, the short: age of homes has resulted in a remark able expansion of bungalow land. ' On Canvey island, for instance, homes built chiefly of wood, concrete slabs or, most common of all, corrugated iron, are being run up in all directions. A "good many folk are building their own homes, camping meanwhile in tents; others have resorted to converting pantechnicons and, such like into homes. What prices are like on the Island may be gathered from the fact that a concrete bungalow of four rooms is offered for sale at 600, a pantechni con with two rooms far 150 and a gypsy van for 70.
