' men 01 me ucsl uusiaess cun- cerns of the town and they seem ;o vie with each other in who tould best work and best agree; Every proposition mentioned was taken up orderly and dispatched rapidly and harmoniously. A new and broader vision seems to have broken into Tryon thinking. Three new members were ad- fled to the agricultural commit tee of said Board of Trade, mak ing six in all. . y ' This committee .is expected jainU work in harmony, with the directors of the Farmers I federation and with the farmers uwa cuuuiy uitccl wneii it an be of service. This com- attee has the right vision" arid ipirit, and means to aid in every possible way to help the directors md officers of the Farmers Fed eration build up the best local parket possible at Tryon, and to id in finding a market abroad iorany overplus that may be produced. Now let this be the beginning of an unselfish era, in which all may learn and rea fizethat pur neighbor hasrights (swell as our selvea, and see to that justice shall be the -aim every one.

Some sections of the countyjis peculiarly ; adapted to Reaches and grapes, In these sections, learn to grow the peach and grape, -which require about the same soil and general treat ment; In pther sections and especially the mountains, the an- ple, Irish potatoes and' cabbage grow to great perfection. Then there are farms in the county highly adapted to growing beef cattle, which should yield a nice pront as a cash income, combin ed wjth growing some cotton, sweet potatoes & etcin connec tion therewith. Then the hog is at home in Polk county; but not in a pen. Where soy beans, cow peas, velvet beans, pea nuts, ano! sweet potatoes grow as well here. Ho'gs should be grown on every farm of 20 acres or more. The hog is as much of a graz ing animal as the sheep, cow or horse if given the .chance, and requires so much less fencing- to accommojdate him vthan- 'either of the other animals. - cut now i come to Tne ail im portant ever present thing that should and must be kept on every farm, and that is the family milk cow, milk has been proven to be the best, most, nutritious and produced on the farm. So every farmer should keep a sufficiency of family milk cows to supply his family, demands. But in ad dition to this, -'the dairy business as a money crop should be built up on . the average farms in the county. The cream checks ev ery Saturday evening would make it possible for every farmer in Polk .county to finance his farming operations from year to year without going into debt for any thing. Only a few of the many things to bring cash have been mentioned. mere are strawberries, tomatoes, onions, snap beans, celery, turnips, as paragus, and hundreds of other things that can be grown as side lines. ' It is for the Farmers Federa tion as an organization and stock hnlWs in smaller erouDS. and individual members of the Fed eYation, all working together as brothers, studing - and applying the best methods and by cooper ative marketing these crops, that Polk county will be bought to a state of high efficiency, in pro duction and marketing: the high est standards of farm production and the greatest varieties which will bringthe greatest wealth to the producer and the greatest happiness to the homes that pro duce and 'market them.
