Dear Editor:—On the night of the 13th of December I spoke at Tyner High School, in Hamelton County, nine miles north of Chattanooga, and organized a Local with twenty-six members. I was met at Tyner by Brother Zeigler, the newly commis sioned Organizer in the county, Bro. L. S. Roberson, one of the leading farmers of that section, was elected President. Bro. J. T. Cooper, who entertained and cared for me so splendidly while I was there, was made Vice-President, and Prof. W. W. Major, President of the Tyner High School, was made Secretary. Prof. Major is one of the leading ed ucators of this part of the State. Prof. Shofner, who took a prominent part in getting this local started, was made Lecturer. With these men in the lead and with the rest of the local made up of the best farmers in the county, I predict that they will grow and spread until Hamilton County will soon have a fine County Union, for few, if any of our organizers, have had the pleasure of organizing as fine a body of men as those I met at Ty ner. I will speak the rest of this week in Carrol County and possibly attend Johnson County Union. Let every Union man in Tennessee make a spe cial effort to get some one to join this year. If the brethren will do this we can easily double the mem bership by the next State meeting. L. M. RHODES. Huntingdon, Tenn., Dec. 16, 1912. STONEWALL, NO. 1655. Dear Editor:—We wish to write you a few words in regard to our Local, No. 1655, Stonewall. We have fourteen members in good standing, but they need a little waking up, for it is somewhat hard to get them to attend the meeting. I am sorry to advise that we lost one of our paid up members a few days ago—he died from consumption—was thirty-four years of age. I think our Local will do better next year. We order nearly all of our grain now. I could hardly do without the Carolina Union Parmer, for I love to see it come. I want to see the first of the New Year so that I can send Mr. E. C. Paires some more money. T. T. GASKINS. Stonewall, N. C., Dec. 9, 1912. LOCAL, NO. 2110. As I have been a member of the Farmers’ Union about two years, and have been reading the Carolina Union Farmer about twelve years and have not seen anything from our Local, I will write a line or two in regard to same. Our Local was organized with only five members and now we have eighteen good men. Our Union is growing rapidly. We have been ordering right much through the Union and have saved money. We had a meeting last Friday night and took in a new member and expect two more members at our next meeting. I want all of our brothers to see that we are all alive and on to the job to try to make a better country storage at Marshville. As the old say ing is: “Every little helps,” so if this letter escapes the waste basket, I will come again. Enclosed herewith you will find $1.00 for another years’ subscription to the Carolina Union Farmer. Please send the new Farmers’ Union badge as my premium. Wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, I beg to remain, C. A. WILLIFORD.

Crops FILLER. LBS NTTKATE OF SODA 12 LBS ACID PHOSPHATE .66 LB& ■J1UBIATEOT. POTASH 20 LBS contain more than three times as much Potash as phosphoric acid. It was found years ago that the composition of the crop is not a sure guide to the most profitable fertilizer, but it docsnot take a very smart man to figure out that a well-balanced fertilizer sbonld contain at least as aiucb Potaah as Phosphoric Acid. Insist on having it so. If you do not find the brand you want, make one by adding enough Potaah to make it right. To increase the Potash 4 per cent, (for cotton and grain), add one bag Muriate of Potash per ton of fertilizer; to increase it 9 per cent. Ctruck. potatoes, tobacco, corn, etc.), add two bags Sulphate or Muriate per ton. Talk to your dealer and ask him to carry Potash in stock or order it fur you. It will pay you both, for Potash Pays For particulars and prices write to GERMAN KALI WORKS, Inc., 42 Broadway, New York Monadnock Block, Chicago, III. Bank & Trust Bldg., Savannah, Ga.
