OUR COUNTY AGENT'S DEPARTpMT Some Jiraely Talks to Polk County Farmers, and otherson Timely Sub jects, bvXounty Agent, J. R. Sams. To Members of Farmers of Fanners i Federation, and Farmers of Polk County: The first all important thing to- establish a good market for farmers, is for t he farm ers to grow s u c h .f a r m products sls the m ark e t wants and to grow them of the best .quality and properly grade and pepare them for the market. At present we have no system of marketing. This is our pro blem right now and we must solve it. And in order to do "so; there are many things we as farmers must learn. First, We must learn just as manufacturers do ,to hot over produce, which will always glut and depress the markets. Second, we must- so diversify crops that we will have something to put upon the, mar ket just as fast as it wants some thing. I. think at first we should take Irish potatoes, sweet pota toes and poultry and standardize these three things this year and learn to properly grade them for the market. I think we should adopt not more than two varieties of sweet potatoes, Nancy Hall and Portbrico, two varieties of of Irish potatoes to.be agreed up on. Then as far as possible, standardize poultry. Adopt one breed as a meat ? and egg variety such, as Rhode Isjand, ed Or- tiingtoh., pr t WyanHot bp d i&riH variety loregg priwiupiyJcp--' ry:wMH--vv;' - norn or Ancona ana etc. l am now speaking to the farmer as a poultry producer, and not to peo- Lynn. ' ' Dr. Pratt will , preach in the chapel next Sunday afternoon at 3:30. The school term at - this place will eni March 3rd. tit is to be hoped that many improvements will be made in the school, - also the grounds before the, opening of the fall term. Anew brick stove flue from the ground to the top; built; last week inthe school building . ws a valuable improvement; also the installing of solne coal stoves, -i Miss Ada Tallant, one of the teachers, was reported to -be quite indisposed, not able to teach. It is vo be hoped she -will soon be out again. ; ' ) t It seems that our electric light proposition is a great deal like bulldog and cat, so near and yet so far. - A play at Uynn school audito rium Feb. 11,: will be of a comic nature. ; " J Measles and whooping cough both reported to be in our vil lage, but nothing seri; us" as yet. February 18 is Lynn commun ity clean-up day. Don't forget the day, date, time and place. We were sorry to see the L O. O. F. of this place go defunct and surrender their charter and hope they will see their way to renew- their charter in ,the near future.- . - Richard Garret was taken to Columbus Monday and lodged in jail to await a physical examina tion. We suppose he is suffering from some mental trouble. He has a wife and four children de pending uponrelatives and char itable-mends. : ' Much speculating amongv the ex-employees of the Tryon Uoa iery Mf g. Co. , just now , as; .to Whether the . plant will ' resume operation this spring or continue grow poultry Where peo- pie desire to sell cooperatively. They must produce cooperatively, so they can grade cooperatively; Potatoes, as well as eggs to class up and sell well together, must be of the same size, shane and color. And in order to do this, potatoes of the same variety must be V grown under similar conditions, and hens of the same breed must be' kept, so their eggs will be uniform in shape, size and colorV I know this , is not an easy thing to do, but we must lay aside little personal pref erences andi learn to work to gether for the good of all. Then there are things to be learned by merchants and by the consumers themselves in order that we may have the ver best market We must" all learn that other peo ple have rights as well as 1 our selves We must .learn that we are all brothers and sisters of the same household and ; have; the same common Father who feeds all. : We must learn tb take and give and be social and work out the meaning of the great' com mandment given from Mount Sinai. ''That -; thou i shall love thy neighbor as thy self ' 1 and as enunciated in the Sermon onj the ; Mount. This is; bur ; problem, i pie in town- who for their own use. o,fir jwj j - ' the merchant and the consumers: for we aU v are. brothers and sistere;'-::- : .': to pay a few favorites to stand watch over the dead remains. Visual Education Realizing as I do. that every thingpossible must be done to arouse a more intense ; interest in education, I gladly sanction: every statement made in the Polk Coun ty News of last week wn re gard to getting the Moving Pic ture Machine for the school. It appeals to me as a very easy and cheap way to provide this com munity with a real' tiecessity. While in Raleigh Thanksgiving, I had the '-good fortune; to see moving pictures ofV Sir Walter Raleigh's attempt to settle North Carolina. Then, I made up my mind that we must have ah out fit. The proposition as given by the News is our golden opportu ity. Will we stand idly by and let it slip or' vill we exert our selves to give our children what they need, f ! : Everybody knows that what is seen will have a more lasting im pression than what is.' -read. However, with the moving pic ture; will go the historic story, , la this way, i history ' geography, science etc are being taught wtih greater success than ever be fore. ::..;v - ! ; From time to time,; you will be informed of our plans. Will you not help us to bring bur school to the front, so that our children will ha as good advantages as anybody's. Dennis W. Simmons, Church of the Holy Cross. Holy . Communion '11 A.
