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. o 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 \ o - * 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.
