Communications intended for thlB department should be addrcbaedlo J. C. Stribllufr, Pm dletoD, 6. C. The farmers of the State will pleaso take notice that the Committee in charge of thia Bureau of Information does not OBsuine, or pretend to, pose as the great head or seat Of knowledge, where any and all knowledge pelt alu in g to the farming interest of the State may be obtained directly from th'? in dividual members of our Committee alone; but we solicit short articles from practical farm?rs for these columns from every quarter of the State on the subjects ol' how to grow profitable crops and how to turn the profits of our farm crops into the bands of the pro ducers.. And then again the Farmers' Union at the Crossing wants to hear from, the Unions at tito Forks of the Creeks, and the Flatwooda Union wants to hear how the Unions in tho Red Hills are doing. In fact, we want to know more about each other, and what ia the best way to get ut tho things that are to the farmers' interest. We know of no better plan to get together and to learn from each other than to maintain a Burean of Infor mation to farmers in the county news papers throughout the State. when it is known ?o the farmers of tho State that all the Committee in charge of our Bureau of Information are practical and progressive farmers from tho fields, and that we ar? in dose touch with our State and Gov ernment Experiment Stations, it is ap parent at once that our Farmers' Bu reau of Information has behind it for our support^ a source from which to draw ?JJO? for its information on sub jects of practical and scientific farming that is not excelled. We now have in preparation for oar Farmers' Union cofamoB reports from a corleo of co-operative experiments on the subjeots of growing nitrogen in the-soil and the "Aldrich System" of rotating crops by planting two rows of cotton and two rows of corn in regular alternation over the whole field, and changing these rows each season. Our experiments are conducted by practical farmers on their farms io co 1 operation with Experiment Statibus. We expect to maintain proiUubio prices for our prodnots by organisation and loyal co-operation among far mers. . With the birth of the Farmers' Union the farmera of the South have taken their rightful position. : Fannel*, line up shoulder to shoul der with your iifitfhbnrs, and lay bold of the .wheels of the Farmers' Union and push year interest forward. yfpWifig Fsr?H?zsrs ls the.
