Crop time and harvest are. over and the short days and long nights of winter are crehping upon us. 0nething4he farmer should do,' is to subscribe for more periodi dals and books and read tHem, thet long win ter n igh ts, with roaring hickory a ri:d oak-wood fires in the open fire place affords an excellent oppor tunity for reading; hdt periodicals and book alone; but bulletins of every kind for the asking from the Department, of Agriculture at Raleigh, tN. C,and,Washing ? tori D. C. ? While this reading is important it is only aneans to : anierid, .and that end -is to stimu late and' arouse thought ? in the mind of ihearmerx-And our thoughts at this time of the year should be directed, toward the future, . -What I will do the ; in coming year.?, ; Will 1, plant all j cotton .crop," with the boll- weevil staringme int the; face and lanj over production of that crop how on the.market? Will i risk my all on' a corn crop; when there is three billion bushels of corn now in the ' united states more than is neededf orJman and: beast? The timeixas'comeiwhen the;, farmer must think; for himself fahil .set j hli xropsacwrdirigly; tltxfs in safe to mkihe ffarmersall on any one or two crops, where such a great diversity of c r ops can be grown in r Polk coun ty, So the . question' What should every farmer do" Comes in well for an answer right here. There is to many crops or diver sity of commodities that can: be grown with us, for any farmer to risk his all on one crop, A diver sification of crops means a rota tion of crops which is the life of good farming in our section of the country, besides it 'gives a chance for the farmer to better . distribute his labor through out the entire year. Here is what any farmer can do in Polk coun ty y he can begin with oats in September and sow oats for seed and straw; he can sow some oats -vetch for an early hay crop, wheat may be sown in October, - and wheat and veth in this month for hay, in November rye can be sown and rye and vetch for hay or for hog pasture in spring December plowing can be done for crops to be planted in the i spring, Feb. , plant Irish potatoes March plant gardens that have not been started in Feb. March and April, plant corn and cotton and a hundred and one things that suggest themselves; In May plant sweet potatoes and tomatoes and begin harvesting strawberries, English peas let tuce, radishes and etc and living at home, and go right on plant ing and-harvesting and living at home and selling the surplus ev ery month in the year at the farmers ware house, where the consumers in the towns and cities will know where to find it for their use and for the farmers profit :While all this diversified cropping is going on, there is the great possibility in dairying and poultry, both of these lines of farminc brine an income practically all the year around This being the true statements of facts, why should any farmer whine around about hard times? of course a hard pinch financial ly is right now on us; but , why allow it to . continue. Let every man of us eet our heads and Farmers, and others, cn Tfcsly Sub hands to work,, first think out exactlywhit we will plant and plant a diversity of crops that -will be coming in tail the year. Grow f romi one to five - pigs ow ing to the size of the family, keep from , ten to . one hundred hens,dwing to the size : off; the farm. Keep from one to thirty dairy cows according to amount of land and supply of labor : and just see what old Polk will be at the end of ten years If the fore going plan of thinking and action were carried out in Polk county, the banks would be compelled to enlarge their vaults, the merchants would have to build more commodious houses for.ibusinss and iihcrease their clerical fbrce, manufactu r es would spring up like magic,1 the best element f of' 'humanity out side would see what: a good . place to live Polk county would be and come in swarms, ; and our satis fied boysand girls would remain and build modern homes in their own county, and better schools, churhes - and roads would be built and Polk county would be transformed into just w h at nature has' decreed shall be at some future timeNow farmers, 4 - why not get busy and think - and work.it out andmake this vision an actual reality It is up to you -the Danks and mercnants can help, , .arid I believe they catching the vision and are are be- in the last analysis is up to the farmer. 1st. Catch the vision. 2nd. Plan it all well. ' . 3rd. Work the plan into a real ity. . ' ;. , : . Cantrell-FlYnn. A very pretty wedding was solomnized: at the home of Mr. Mrs. W. H.
