F- Thursday, January i8, 1912. THE CAROLINA UNION FARMER Among The Locals From Surry County Editor: I had the pleasure attending the annual county ^^eting of the Farmers Union in county on Saturday, Janu- 6th, and was very much pleased )v^th everything up there. I organ- *^^d this county two years ago, establishing j6i locals. J. Smith of Westfield was ^cted president when the county nrst organized, and he has he position so faithfully that as been reelected each year. At meeting he was unanimously J third term. Brother ^^rinkley, of Mount Airy, s elected again as secretary and ^^asurer of this county, which 'Vell^^ third term. It speaks that those two men, and proves they have the confidence of the ^^tire membership in the county Csllip 111 LllC CUUlllJf' s thus honored. At this last aic-et t\vo it was decided to employ or three competent men to of county in the interest Dry Prizing Company, to Coll Q an outstanding notes of the . ’^Pany, and to solicit more stock. in to complete the redrying abl , ^t at Airy, so as to en- ^9l2 Ti others to redry and pool the crop. b iis county is getting down to 'Allies h ‘er next now, and will sure pool sho 1 orop. Other counties got busy and collect stock to State county in the Stokes, Rockingham and \ ;!‘anviiie^ Wiij^i^'^’ ^re pooling, and Burry with several counties in tlieij. ^ hy this fall to handle It behooves our east- Us j^^^thers to get busy and assist the Cq.q ''^ork, for we need your au(i We have the plan.

We will cotton acreage for this plant more grain and Wc will buy less ready mixed guano and will do more home mixing. Most of us have meat enough to carry us this year, and we are in a better shape to stand 8 1-2 cent cotton than we were a year ago. We are not in creasing in numbers. We received one by demit and one by applica tion at our last meeting. We lost three members in December by demit. Since my last letter, I have received from local No. 1807, $5.00 for the benefit of Brother J. H. Edwards,«which was gladly re ceived by him. Yours in Unidn,”!^ J. W. BATTS, Organizer Elm City, Jan. 10. fi “Wynn’s Local. Guess you other locals will be surprised to hear of “Wynn’s Local.” Never-the-less it is a very good little lodge. It was organized in March, 1911, with only six mem bers and we now have nineteen— eighteen good, live ones. W'e meet every Friday evening if weather permits. We have a committee to select a live subject that will bear a great discussion, so that we may encou rage our members to attend reg ularly. Most of our members are in good conditions, plenty of supplies for both man and beast; cotton in their barnes, waiting a higher price. W'e think it wise for all farmers to plant less market crops and make more home supplies. If this finds its way to paper, we will be delighted to try again. “Chaplain” Silver Leaf Local, Virginia. Mr. Editor: As I have seen nothing from our local for some time, I will try to tell the Union at large that the members of Silver Leaf Local are trying to live up to the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as 3^ou wish to be done by.” We held our regular election Saturday, December 9th and the following of ficers were elected for 1912: President, E. R- White, Vice- President, J. W'. Mills, Secretary and Treasurer, Bud Bishop, Chap lain, J. W. McMilon, Conductor, Charlie Scott, Doorkeeper, D. C. White, Executive Committee, Buck ]\lills, N. E. Scott and Tomey Hatch. We have done a good business since we organized last April. I believe in giving everybody a cliance, and try to get all the mem bers to pay their dues for the new year. The meaning of our organi zation is to get as good members as possible and as many as we can, and advise them to do all the good they can in any way, in all places and everywhere they find a chance, and to urge every member to at tend the meetings. The local is the fiee school, the county union the gradedischool, and the State Union is the college. Every time we miss a meeting we miss a lesson. Remember that fertilizer buying time is coming and lets be ready to save our money, and try to get the knowledge of our order and plant more corn and try to raise plenty of everything for home consumption and reduce the acreage of tobacco, and stop working in deadly war or competition against each other. We people have got plenty of hog and hominy up here this time, and are living fine. Plowing has com menced and is deeper than usual. I would like for Patric county to get roused up and start to talking about a drying plant for the 1912 crop and be ready for the beginning of the selling season. I think that Surry county will be ready Jor dry prising tobacco next fall. When these business enter prises are ready, we can expect to get something like a living price for our tobacco, and not before. Wish ing the members of the Union a happy and prosperous year, —A Member ONSIDER NOW what it will cost and how much money you will save on your next season’s fertilizer bill if you should buy your Nitrate of Soda and other Farm Chemicals and mix them yourself Your own brand MIXED AT HOME will be better than any patent brand and is sure to have in it just what you want.
