OUR COUNTY AGENTS DEPARTMENT
Some Timely Talks to Polk County Farmers, and others, on Timely Sub
jects, by County Agent, J. R. Sanis. "
To Polk County Farmers.
Now let me have your ears
your hearts tor just a few

if you wont listen with your
Hearts; for the Good Book says
"out of the heart, are the issues
of life". It also says, "As a
man thinketh inhis heart; so is
he So what I am going to ask
of you, is during the next two
weeks to think fast, think cor
rectly and then put your think
ing into concrete action. Don't
forget the fi ye community fairs
will come off next week. The
fair at Saluda, while held" to
early in the season, and corn was
full of sap, yet the corn on ex
hibition showed wonderful ; pro
gress since the first fair ; held
there three years ago. The so
cial feature at Saluda was excel
lent. Everyone male" and fe
male had on a smile that" would
not rub off. Now $10.00 is an
awful little thing when compar
ed with Henry Ford's -holdings;
but the honor of holding the best
most orderly and most social fair
is an honor that can't , be estima
ted in dollars and cents. Some
township " will win, which will it
be? This $10.00 will be given
with amazing pleasure, if the
township receiving it will work
and earn it I am going to add
another condition, ana that is
tjat no township shall be elligitha intelligence to do it? or shall
.u.i. .x.x io; 0i,

Now which towrishipwill
make the greatest eff orU to hold
the best fair and win this, prize
of $10.00? In this connection let
me say that the officers and com
mittees of each community fair
must work out your own salva-
