The PoJk County News is in
terested in what the Board of
Trade, the City Fathers and
Tryon as a whole is doing to
ward bettering the present De
tour system maintained by the
Slate Hignway Department.
Spring is rapidly approach
ing with its subsequent in
crease in motor travel through
Tryon to outlying points.
Tourists are tilling the town
clamoring for the many beauti
ful drives and motor rides only
approachable over the detours
which at the present time are
not only most uncomfortable
to negotiate but are almost im
passable for any but the most
skillful drivers.
Present indications are that
this will be the situation for
several months to come.
The Polk County News in
vites suggestion's on the part
?of the puolic and will take
pleasure in reprinting the re
plies if so specified.

BUY LAND YOUNG MAN.
One of the greatest things
tiiat could happen to the peo
ple and for the country as i
whole would be a more genera1
realization of the desirability
of real estate ownership.
Every man in the Co. would
do well to set out for actua!
ownership of a home and if not
a home, then at least a small
farm. It is true that there an
many who have no use for sel
- owned farms or homes either
but ownership of this kinc
helps to develop thrift and pro
gress and also it increases th<
self-reliance the self-respect
and the solid reliability of th?
owners.? The Yorkville En
quirer.
The Yorkville Enquirer mak
es a suggestion worthy of coi
sideratLn. Land bought a
the right price is the very bes
investment, any man can make j
Until an individual does owi
land, there are a great man}
things he does not know. It ii
an , educational experience
about titles, deeds and taxes
but, how to make a piece oi
land pay the taxes and the in
terest on the money invested, it
an interesting problem. It if
cne of those touches that mak
es the whole world akin.
. 'Young men especially shoulc'
buy real estate, preferably
farm land, if he is seeking ar
education. In , our part of the
country it will' advance in val
ue, it can be made profitable, i
is safe, and it is not a conven
ient collateral, which is also e
good thing. And then there is
that peculiar pleasure and sat
isfaction that comes from the
ownership of land. The man
who owns land is apt to become
interested in agricultural ques
tions and when he does, . the
best part of his education real
ly begins ? The Spartanburg
Herald.
The Best Varieties of Soybeans
The most important points
to consider in selecting a var
iety of. soybeans are the pur
post for which the crop is
rjron n and the locality in which
!? w to be grown, states r. n
Wine, assistant agronomist ir
s'voi) improvement for the in.
<J. Experiment Station. One
i variety might be best foi
grains production and nog
pastures, while another variety
would be better for nay or soi
improvement, he says. .
late beans do well in easier"
North Carolina but will not ma
ture in the mountain section ,
therefore it is necessary here
to plant earlier beans for seed.
For seed Mr. Kime finds that
the Mammoth Yellow is the
most generally grown variety .
This is because it is a heavy
yielder, grows upright and is
easily harvested. Next to the
Mammoth, he says that the
Haberlandt and Virginia are
perhaps the bese varieties to
I grow for seed. . They ai *
i about ten days to two weeks
! earlier than the Mammoth
Yellow. They yield well ana
the seed are usually in demand
The Virginia does not shatter
quite so badly as the Mammoth
or Haberlandt. For a very
early bean the Black Eyebrow
is very, good, though not i
heavy yielder.
For hay, Mr. Kime states
that the Virginia is perhaps
the best variety to grow as il
produces an excellent quality
of hay. The stems are small
and less woody than most ol
the other varieties and because
of this it is more easily cured
than other varieties. It will
produce one and one-half to
two tons of hay per acre under
ordinary conditions. The Ta>
Heel Black and Mammoth Yel
low will make a little heavier
yields but the hay is course anc1
not of as good quality.
For pasturage he reports
that the best varieties are Ito
San or Black Eyebrow for very
early pasture, followed by
Haberlandt as a medium earh
pasture crop and Mammot1
for late pasture.
If soybeans are planted for
oil improvement, Mr. Kime
states that the one which will
Toduce the most organic mat
er for turning under is tb
est. For this section of t1'
ountry he recommends i '
Jr. m moth Yellow.
Mr. Kime believs that n
t investment with soy
?ans will pay better rehirn
?rjan the buying of good seeds
. ven if double the ^price of or
iinary seeds is paid for then
However, he advises farrr
lo get their seed from reH b!
lealers or farmers rn l rv ' ;
enormous prices for svn,- ;.cv
variety of which they knuv
nothing. It is better to get
^ood,seed of some variety al
ready grown in a locality

FEN REASONS FOR JUP I
PORTING THE HOME
TOWN PAPER
The Polk County N^ews has
recently received from the Div
ision of Publications of Agri
cultural Extention Service the
following ten reasons for sup- ;
porting the home town paper
as offered by the Valley Enter- j
prise of Nebraska. It is felt j
that the county newspapers of
North Carolina are rendering
a real service to the commu- '
nites which they serve and i
that the readers of this paper j
may gain an idea as to some of 1
the reasons why this claim is j
made, your attention is invited j
to the following:
1. Because, when you were!
born, it was the home paper ,
that introduced you to the
world.
2. When you grew up and j
graduated the home paper

4. When sickness and mis
fortune invaded your home,
the sad news was carried to

the home paper.
5. When you had* been suc
cessful in a business venture or
had been promoted, it was the
home paper that heralded your

I to another location the home
paper followed you ^ith news
of friends and neighbors.
7. When some unscrupulous
person tried to injure your
character, it was the home
parer that came to your aid.
3. Because the home paper
!, costs your town and its in
titutions, ? its people, its
schools, its churches, and helps
to promote good fellowship in
the community.
9. Because the live mer

home paper struck by you from

ing cup used in^ll recipes, is a
half pint. These cups and cut
ters may be found in Columbus

I your merchant for the BEST
itlour on the market. Then see
I if it is of a pure whiteness and
is line ,smoth and soft to the
[touch. The BEST of flour is
none to good. It pays to use a
good brand. When we con
sider that bread of some kind
is served in the! home three
times a day, three hundred
sixty-five days iri a year, then
it is that a realization of the
importance of this subject
comes to our minds.
Every one is asked to enter

is of ash and oak cut from Ander

or winter when the sap is lowest
and the wood hardest. The lum

cut to shape (not bent) and finally
laminated, fitted, screwed and

is laid aluminum ? the finest of
