V - -J .1 i BUSH, Publisher Volume XXVII No. 43 Some jects, bv County Agent, J. R. Sasis. To the Farmers of Polk County. r hplieve you will bear witness M-rii me. that within the memory nf the oldest man living in Polk county, there nas not Deen a sea son like this. Since last Decern ber, there have been but few days the farmer could plow on oMniint of too much water in the soil; not that there has been con- tinuous rams; but because that hpfore the land would be dry enough for plowing, another rain would come. From December to this good day May 16th, on ac count of this peculiar weather condition, farmers in this county have not completed the planting of cotton, and the' planting of corn is away behind. Also gar densand truck have fallen far lshort of calculations made- last (winter. It seems at this time 'that a short cotton crop in this Luintv ia l'npvitflhlp 'flnd thnf. nil early maturing crops will be 'start. What -the late season crops will be, is problematical, pe mental attitute of the far mer toward these peculiar Wther conditions is beautiful Indeed. As a general thing, far mers feel instinctively, that a ;ind providence in his own way is working out for the farmer blessings which he has hot had ;he wisdom hitherto, to work out 'or himself. This is splendid mental and spiritual attitute to ork out for himself- ? This is ; a plendid mental and spiritual at itude to have. We cannot con- ol weather conditions : however, re can make the best possible se of weather conditions from lay to day as the days come and !0. Farmers have never had eater opportunity to think, and think seriously, and wisely. ur. business is to feed and clothe e world: or to furnish the" nec- pary raw material ior the pur jose. Present natural conditions W be such as will help the far- lerreulate production in cn a way as to bring about adjustment between suddIv ld demand.

Mr. v oornies was once a member of the State Horticultural Society of the state of Michigan and as such had, and made use of such position as made him quite a specialist in the prbpogation and care of fruit trees, vines, shrubs, plants etc. Mr. Voorhies has now growing in an experimental way, many fruits not common to this section, which have made rapid growth and seem to be perfectly at home. His main projects are fruits of various kinds and truck. Peach trees are now laden with fruit; some of which are almost ready for : the market at this time. He is also propagating ' apple and "pear trees from the seed and doing his own grafting and budding. His trucking projects are fully as interesting as his fruit opera tions. The cabbage, Irish pota toes, head lettuce, spinage, and numerous other vegetables and berries show wonderful skill in process of delevelopment The strawberry especially as grown by Mr. Voorhies is an object les son worthy of imitation by every farm home in Polk county, as well as the homes of the town dwellers. Mr. and Mrs. Voor hies hold no monopoly on their t great tore houser of useful knowledge of orchard, vineyard and trucking; but stand ready at any time to give out this infor mation to young or old who seek such knowledge and are willing to take off time enough to Visit their home. Any farmer in Polk county, who desires to improve his orchard, vineyard or truck ing operations would do well to pay Mr. Voorhies a short visit and get a glimpse of what he is doing along these lines. Of course they have been here but two years, and had to begin at the bottom and great things have not been accomplished yet; but there has been enough to show conclusively to any inquir- mind. what our soil and who sends the sunshine and1climate wl11 do for us lf WP!y- cooperated with. Mr. Voorhies says ' 'We have three seasons here; Spring, Summer and Pall, that we have no winter. " Notice.
