Polk County agriculture to day would have been advanced many years beyond where we are. I am happy to know that a few have caught a real vision and I believe will follow the light until there will be a new earth and a new heaven in Polk County. One of our heat farmers can;.* in to the office today, and frankly paid "Mr. Sams. I once thought i was a good farmer, bu' I have just learn ed that I know nothing abou:, farm ing." Wheu a good farmer (?j xames to that conclusion, aud cpens his or her mind and heart for in formation, it will not be lon^ until something in the way of real sure enough farming will be going on in that community. So let us all open up to the fact , that none of us know any too much, and strive in every way possible to adopt the best me thods we can find out and pass every thing worth while we learn on to our neighbor. Respectfully, J. R. Sams, ' County Agent. 0 A Hint To Polk County Farmer* Last week I passed through every township in Polk County. I have been asked often which is the best township in the county, and invar iably answer that one township is best for one thing and another town ship would be better for something else. Any one of them is good enough for any one to live in, if pro perly treated. None of them will be a good place for coming generations to live in if not treated better than some parts of the county is now be- I ing treated. It is actually painful to drive j along the highways and look across beautiful fields of waving grain, corn aud cotton and see just as beautiful sections of land all marred ' I with bare gullies, washed out tosuch ; a depth that a horse could not [ cross them. There are some might y good men in Polk County who are j doing some real good "tractor farm ing'-^who are still keeping a lot of i these miserable scars caused by bad treatment in days that are passed and gone forever and I for one am glad they are gone. It is not a question - who is to THl SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH Whose interest in the Southern is greatest? We who are devoting our lives in the service of this railroad like to call it ours. The investors who have put their faun and money into it to make it an efrcient transportation machine they l peak of it as theirs. And you who travel on it, whose gr"K;s it carries, and wljose business depends on its regular service day in aay out ? are you not entitled to cau it voars? al] have a feeling of pride and proprietorship in the Southern, and it "ough the cooperative efforts of a 1 f t us that it has come to be the ? at railway system that it is. spirit will build a greater South e '?) serve a greater South. S?'!"rHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM blame that these gullies were made, but the question now is, who is to be blamed that modern methods are not used to rid all farms of them at the earliest possible moment. These gutties can be stopped so easily and so quickly when one de cides to do so, that it will make any farmer ashamed of himself when he does get rid of them that he had not done so long years be fore. When a farmer becomes con vinced in his own mind that washed away, worn out lands on his farm is a kind of agricultural scandal, it won't be long til he or she will get busy and heal them. Just apply a little brush and sow a little Japan Clover and Redtop grass seed in them and see yhat will happen. Farmers of Polk County! Let's get busy and reclaim every hillside that has gullies on them, and make our county a garden spot as it was . 10 when God created the earth and gave it t0 man. Nowtl have a little farm in Polk County.^. It had some gullies when I bought it. Two years Two years form this time it shall .-I not have a single gully* on it Now who will join my No Gully Club? * Respectfully, t ; J. .R Sams, County Agent. o COSTS 53 CENT8 TO LEAVE TON MANURE IK BARNYARD ' X I The farmer who allows stable ma nure tD accumulate In his barnyard get# taxed 53 cents for every ton according to. figures of the Univer sity of Ohio, which has just com pleted a 21-year test. Measured by | the average value of crop increase, I t?e Ohio investigators found one ton j of yard manure worth $2.92; a ton of j stall manure $3.45. Whether your j farm is located in the South of cot j ton ahd tobacco fame, on northern j dairy farms, in the commercial vege table or fruit areas, or the Corn Belt, the- same rule holds true.' Install a litter carrier to carry out the stable manure and dump it on a spreader, which can be hauled to the field at any time of the year. It will pay big returns. i O CASTOR OIL CAKE SOMETHING "NICE" ! - From candy, cake and other "gdbd ies" to that cloying staff called cas tor oil, is the usual route which Lit tle Johnny and Mary take when their "tummies" have been on a spree of too rich foods. Everybody knows ' what Johnny and Mary think of castor oil. Nice folks don't repeat their thoughts, even. Here's a method however, that takes the curse from castor oil. It I is a recipe for health bread, receiv ed by the North and South Carolina i Public Utility Information Bureau, | from the American Gas Association 1 And although each loaf contains a : half cup of castor oil the originator I of the recipe challenges anyone to detect the taste of the oil. Here is the reciepe. lpt. white or common bread flour 1 pt. graham flour Engineering Service ^ , i\ \ /-y/PLUMB, vi FIXTURES "JP<? don't do it All, but we do the Best Garrett 8c Son Plumbing and Heating Talphone 707 Spartanburg, S.

Only one farm in each ten has running water in the home, and In many states the proportion is far higher. There is no mystery about a drilled well, a spring or the wind mill, gas engine or motor to furnish running water. Your state college will gladly assist you in getting the kind of system you need, bulletins and blue prints being available for free distribution. Your local dealer well digger or plumber will then put in quickly and efficiently the sys tem wanted. O A SUGGESTION Old newspapers are always inter esting. Kept In order of issue, they make a history book. They record markets and the events of a com munity. The home paper is a good neigh bor. Oives service at low cost. Hands boupuets to you when you die, even tho your subscription is past due. Why not make a rule of filing your home paper. Keep it in your family. From sire to son let the rule run. It will be handy reference Value will increase with age. After while your heirs will fight for it. Ajiso keep a diary. It is a private history of your own home, family, money matters, weather, sales, re unions, trips, meetings- attended, etc. A diary is a mighty handy refer Buyers Everywhere Are Sold On The Oldsmobile Coach As one buyer said: "?this coach is an aristocrat in looks, a' thor oughbred in performance* and the price ? well, the price is cer tainly a pleasant surprise."

Your Cm Enjoy This Ferse- Proteetioe A* / SHAKESPEARE wrote the gTeatest of all advertising truths when through his character of Cassio he said : 4 ' Good name in man or woman, dear my lord, is the immediate jewel of the souL" ' / The greatest properties in the world have been built on the foundation of good name. Reputation and honor bring more interest than any capital that can be invested in business. More important still, they form an absolute guarantee for the Buyer. There are single words, single names, that today are worth untold millions of dollars. Sheffield suggests cutlery of quality. Dresden brings chinaware to mind. Venice visualizes glass ware, Nottingham pictures laces, and Paris ? well, Paris fashions have become an international by-word. These are the names of cities whose workmen have built char acter by living up to reputation. Does any man question Gobelin tapestry, the Damascus blade, the violin of Cremona, or of more Recent times, the product 01 Tiffany! ( Business men and private individuals interested in the value to them of the art of advertising will do well to remember these facts. They were brought out forcefully in a speech delivered recently in Atlantic City by Earl D. Babst. Mr. Babst explained that reputations of value attach to localities as much as to indi viduals and corporations. "The greatest asset in the world is good will," said Mr. Babst ' \ . . "Good will, in the simple terms of American business, is 'good reputation/ " \ . The average citizen who buys, but does not manufacture or advertise, may say: " Advertising is all very well for the SELLER. It makes HIM known, it makes HIM rich, it increases HIS business. But what good does advertising do ME t" 1 Advertising is more valuable even to the buyer than to the seller. For in a business established by advertising that has cost millions a business has established a NAME worth more than all its factories, machinery and money, and it MUST PROTECT THAT NAME. ? ^ - The 'ply vrz-yr tc -rot-* a NAME '7 to protect the PROD ; ? , UCT, by keeping up its QUALITY, by making good THE PROMISES of the ADVERTISING, by doing nothing to injure the chief asset, which is GOOD REPUTATION, GOOD WILL. A man owning factories or other buildings will sot set fire to them and burn them down if he can help it? especially if they are not insured. ' s' The good will, the reputation back of a name, is a property | that CANNOT BE INSURED. The good will of the public is ! the only insurance. Having built up such a name, it must be KEPT UP. To : let it fall, to deceive the public, to diminish quality for the ^ sake of extra temporary profit, is as foolish and destructive as it would be to set fire to unins|ired buildings. ONCE TORN DOWN, A NAME CANNOT BE BUILT AGAIN. < ' , Jf Buyers protect themselves when they learn to test the prom ises and the fulfilments of advertisers, the value of a NAME ON A PACKAGE or a product of any kind. 1 A buyer has in his power constantly the standing-, the life or death of any advertised product. Once the BUYER aban dons it, it is .gone. ? Buyers should know, and many manufacturers, business men of good character with good products should know, more than they do know about advertising power, itp meaning, its value to the producer AND MUCH GREATER VALlII TO THE CONSUMER. There are advertised articles in which amounts as great ? as fifty millions and more ljave been invested, MERELY TO BUILD UP THE NAME. It is not likely that the owner of such a name, with his millions invested in it, would for the sake of temporary profit jeopardize the great capital that the name represents. The business man who has not learned what advertising can do fe<r him, locally and natibnally, might write to Earl D. Babst, No. 117 Wall Street, New York City, for a copy of hit speech. - v - V . * , . s, ence. Takes but little time. Spec ial diary books are sold. They are arranged to make the work easy.
