Pull for Polk or Pull
Out. . . This Is the Splendid Advice Given By Our County Agent, Mr. J.R. Sams.
. . Seasonable Suggestions
By all means the garden should not be neglected.
Cultivators should be kept going to prevent crab grass from
growing.
What about that permanent pasture? If it is as good as you
want it, just let it alone. If it can be improved, then get busy and make it
better.
What about hay at $45 to $60 per ton? Think for a year
ahead. Plant cow peas, soy beans, velvet beans, sorghum cane for roughage,
sudan grass, etc. Now is the time. Don’t neglect it.
Get sorry for that pig in the pen. Sow a lot in cow peas or
soy beans, rope and turn him in and watch him grow.
Look after lice and mites on poultry. Now is the serious
time of the year for little poults.
There is a premium offered for best collection of legumes,
hay and pasture grasses grown on farms, for Polk County Fiar. Ow is the time to
collect samples. Burr and crimson clover have almost passed out, orchard and
tall oat grass is just now on hand, also alsike and red clover, timothy and red
top will be in by and by, so take advantage of all these clovers, cow peas,
both tame and wild, soy beans, grasses, etc. This prize if offered to any
person living in town or on a farm in Polk County, matters not how little or
how much land; just so you grow the grasses and legumes on it and collect and
take them to the Polk County Fair.
Then don’t forget in our push to be patriotic. Begin to feel
more patriotic now and be boiling over by the Fourth of July. Bring the wife
and all the children to Columbus. Leave only the dog at home on that day.
Last, but by no means least, let every man, woman and child
in Polk county cultivate the Polk count spirit. Let’s adopt the slogan, “Polk
County is My County.” The best county in the world. But if it lacks anything,
let’s roll up our sleeves and pull together to make it the best. Everybody
should either pull for Polk or pull out.
