for the fair itself . What will
tey be? Just what the officers
and citizens of each township
make them. Without active
ff0rkon the part of the officers
and committees these fairs' will
be small affairs; and without the
cooperation of the farmers and
other business men, they will be
nothing. One thing in particular
we desire to accomplish' v this
jean IS to mahe tuestj xairs mure
educational. We want to make
them real agricultural schools, in
which we can all make a first
hand study oi sianaaraization oi
- , .
commodities for cooperative
marketing. We also want to
make them greater means of so
cial development in the ' county.
want the town people this
year at these fairs, to meet the
who live in the country
know each other better; and
motfeer. grejpeki this
jear is to collect the . best of all
these fairs and have a Polk
bounty exhibit at the ' state fair
to be held just after our-f airs
will close. To this end, we want
every farmer in Polk county who
has county pride, to take part in
these fairs, and especially to ex
hibit the best corn, sweet pota
toes, Irish potatoes, cow peas,
soy beans, and small grains.
We want to make a specialty of
torn at the state fair; so bring
your prolific "corn, your big single
toed corn, white corn, yellow
torn, red corn, specked - corn,
sugar corn, pop corn, and just
wm, we want to show what
Polk county can do in the way
f making corn. Now all to
gether pulling f or-these fairs and
the Polk County Farmers
deration and the next thing
you know, we will be 'the fore
most county in the "Old North
State" in cooperative work.

Once More Pastures and Gullies
Every farmer in Polk c6imtv
will take notice that we have 'de
clared war on gullies in Polk
county. Let farmers in Greens
Creek -township call on W. B.
McSwain and Frank Giles and
other farmers who have .done!
some gully stopping, and see !
how it is to stop them and catch
the gully stopping fever and go
home and do likewise. It is
really discreditable as a farmer,
to have a single gully on the
farm. Now here is the way the
thing is done to best advadtage,
as a general rule the most gullies
are found on that portion of the
iarm that has been worn out !
growing corn cotton continuously
and thrown out and called a pas
ture; which in reality is nothing
but a waste place where' cattle
over exercise themselves starv
ing to death. Richt now drtrinw
the last days of August and Sep-
- ." O
tember is the veiar: best time to
stop these gullies and do another
next best thing on the farm;
That is .to cut all trees, bushes,
briars, weeds etc., on these
.waste lands and pat them in the
gullies and Spread . theffl on the
bare places where no vegetation
is growing and: justj wait?twc;
years and see what will happen?
Then ow some redtop and white
clover over all this cut over bid
land next February and you
will have a pasture within the
next two years worth looking at
and worthy to be called a pasture.
Then another good thing in this
connection and if you will go
over to John Gilbert's farm
near Columbus, you can see
better than I can tell you what
this is. When I went over to
pay him a visit I thought a cy
clone hurricane or something
had swept down from White Oak
mountain and had demolished
all the bushes on his farm. Now
just keep your eyes on Mr.
Gilbert's place and during the
next two years see those thicket
clad branches be transformed
into pastures of living green, on
which beautiful fat cattle will be
browsing. Now every body get
busy and stop the gullies, clean
up the road and branch bank and
make some Polk county pastures
equal to those found anywhere.
