Page 2 MUCH GOOD BEING DONE. Farmers' Union Is Doing Great Things For Agricultural Interests. The Farmers' Union is accom plishing great good for our agri cultural interests. Business men of sound judgment and conser vative principles are no longer fighting us. They concede to the farmer the right to be organ ized as well as any other class. We are proving to the world that we are not a destructive but a constructive force. Our organ ization stands for better roads, schools churches and citizenship as well as for material benefits arising from better farming, co-operative marketing and buy ing. Three very important meas ures which are now receiving at tantion at our hands are : Plan 1: To reduce the 1912 cot ton acreage. Blanks are being prepared for signatures of farmers who agree to plant one acre in food crops for each acre in cotton this year. Mass meet ings of farmers were called to meet in each cornty courthouse on Saturday, 12 o'clock, Feb. 17th to sign pledges and devise plan to get blanks circulated throughout each county. Plan 2: To request fertilizer companies to make fertilizer notes due in two equal pay ments—one half December 1, 1912; one half May 11913. This arrangement will have a ten dency to hold up price of cotton and not force the bulk of the crop on the market early in fall. It will give an opportpnity to market over larger period. It takes 12 months to make the crop and it is suicidal to dump it all on the market in three weeks. Plan 3 : To establish a Central Warehouse for handling farm products and fertilizers. We will import fertilizer materials and ship out in mixed car lots. This will also enable us to ship cotton direct to manufacturer, and thereby eliminate the need less expense of so many middle men, whose expense the farmer is paying. These are some of the plans o itlined and which we hope to successfully carry into operation- We invite co-operation of all parties interested. We don't see how any farmer can oppose these measures and fight an organization of his own class, which i 3 trying to build up agri cultural interests. Merchants should belong to the merchants association, lawyers to bar association, farmers to farmer's association (Farmers' Union). If not, why not ? In union there is strength. J. B.

More head to Republican leaders of North C a'olina will take in the arena of Raleigh's new auditor ium. This information was receiv ed here today in a letter from State Charman Morehead. The Republican State executive committee will meet in Raleigh on that date for the purpose of selecting time and place for holding the Repubtican state convention which is to be held either in Raleigh Greens or Charlotte. The second quarterly confer ence of the M. E. church for this circuit will be held at Davis Chapel church, five miles east of Danbury, Saturday and Sun day, March 2nd and 3rd. Pre siding Elder Taylor, of Mt Airy, will be present on both days. Fewer people would jump at conclusions if they could see their CERTIFICATES OF MERIT. Awarded To Three Stokes County Boys, Members of Stokes Boys' Corn Club. Handsome certificates of merit with the great seal of the State on them and signed by the Governor, the State Supt. of Schools, thd Commissioner of Agriculture, the Secretary of State, the County Supt. of Schools and the Special Agent of the U. S. Dept. of Agricul ture have been awarded to three Stokes county boys, members |of the State's Boys' Corn Club, on account of their success in corn growing. The young men's names and the amount of corn grown by each are as follows : Joe Blancett, of Peters' Creek Route No. 1, grew 91.5 bushels to the acre. Isaac Neal, of Walnut Cove Route 5, grew 81 bushels to the acre. Robert Frana, of Brim Route 1, grew 77 bushels to the arce. While these young men failed to get any of the cash prizes offered by the State they did well, when it ia taken into con sideration that this was their first effort and that they were contesting with the entire State. Sub-soiling by High Explosives. In the last agricultural issue of the Scientific American we de scribed the many uses to which high, explosives are being put on the farm. Among these, men tion was made of the use of dynamite for loosening up the sub-soil and so permitting the crops to root themselves more deeply, and reach those lower strata which are untouched by the ordinary methods of cultiva tion by the plow and the harrow. At the present writing it would seem that, among the many im provements which mark the new agriculture, this is destined to hold a position of ever increasing importance. Practis ed first, we believe, by a South ern farmer, the methrd of plow ing with a stick of dynamite showed such immediate and sur prising results that the question of its extension was merely one of publicity. The increase in the crops, resulting from what might be called high-explosive plowing, was so immediate, so large, and what is most impor tant of all, was so out of propor tion to the ccst of powder, that there was every inducement for the manufacturers to start a campaign of education among the farmers and present to them certain well-established facts as to what had been ac complished. We have secured from one of the half dozen or more manufacturers who are giving special attention to this matter a statement of the amount of high explosive which they have supplied the farmers during the past five years. Starting with half a million pounds in 1908, there was an increase in the sales of fifty per cent in 1909. In the following years the total amount disposed of has annually doubled; and the indications for the present year are that the total amount which will be shipped to the farmers by this one concern will be about five million pounds. —Scientific American.
