C., Thursday, May 31st. : Our' Anderson County Farmers - Uion brethren are 'a thorough-go - ing, lively, substantial and good look hig set of firmers. See to 'it that every County in' the State strives to send even a better representative body than Anderson does. Anderson coun ty Union men can take care of a large dLelegation from the State, and no doubt a large delegation from every county in the State will make a fine show and impression for the good of the organization in a way; btut for good 'work in organizing a State Union and,' especially formulating rules, constitution and by-laws, just a few of the best business men in each county is a better working force than a large number of rattling, floun - dering position hulters. Don't forget that cliques, caucuss es and wirequllers are the prinie dis integrating mills that grind down the I strength of any organization. When you leave home for the state union pr,epare yourselves with your 'best resolutions for the good of all union men, and at the same time pre 1 pare your' temper to receive defeat - like a man with lots of manhood about 3 him; then it will be easy for you to I live up with the majority for good to all. The South Carolina branch of the Farmers' Educational and Co-opera tive union's main objects are to teach farmers tluit one good farmer in any connunity is a power for good, and tliat two good farmers united have double the power for good that one farmer ha, and- that 1.00 farmers uni ted for. good has .100 timies more pow%%' er than 100 farmers not banded to gether, and when you extend this calculation to half a million or more good Southern farmers you not only have a1 powerful organization to > teach Southern farmers how to pro L duce profitable crops, but you have m in this same organization the wisdom 1 and knowledge as to what would be equitable prices for our Southeri farm crops, and also the power tc imake those prices on our own pro ducts and get it. The Farmers' Un ion teaches the farmer how to turi the profits of his labor into the pro. ducers' hands by protecting each oth er's interest through organized ef forts. We teach the doctrine of equity and fair dealing in everything; we put forth thlie principles of fair' ness ini all things as our first oier' Lings, and when fair'ness is not ae eepted by our opponents we then pro. p)ose to enter the arena of the cotton trade with a powerful horned cot ton bull that has the power to toss any cotton bear' over the hurdle fence. Our State Farmers' Institute. We would like to remind all farm ers' organizations, as well as every~ id ivid ual or unorganized farmer ini South Carolina, of the fact that these farmers' institutes held in different } sections of the State, as well as thc State Farmers' Instituto held an nually' about August at Clemson, arc becoming of . more and more inter Sest to farmers each yeai'; the prmofmts to farmers derived from intelligent practical and scientific discussions at these institutions upon the every-day subjects of farm life and farm topies in taking~ hold upon the minds of thc mor'e pr'ogressive farmers of the State. Now, -these farmer's' institutes arc . just as good or just as poor1 as the farmers of the State make them. If the farmers will come to an agree menmt in amny kind of concert of ae tion as to wihat speaker's they wanmt I and the kind of subjects they wis11 discussed at these institutes, the au thiorities in charge of these institutes would gladly give the far'mers just as good1 ser'vice and as much of it oni any line that the farmers may chmoose according to thme facilities at hand. Our Farmpr's' UJmion bureau enl umnn is at thme disposal of thme famers for open and free discussions as to the subjects that are of most inter est to far'mers at present. It will 1)e remembered that last season .the Farmers' Union made ni formal request through our organiza tion that the South Carolblfa Experi ment Station take up the Aldrich sys tem of p)lanting 'corn and cotton ini thme alternate double row system and compare results by actual tests by weights and measuremnents-not by looks of the cr'ops or opinion-and this exnniment hna now been innugu. 1)0), cd10198'.Wore a mOttO;, for.fur001* So-66ngs have -been-1 Ste donection with th alti el.ZininierMan t6e onA clerk roed to, and pn homas J 6xi, oft Columblo Rihiland county the glut 6f crIml nal business ii' the sessions court oj Ri hian d county at its last. sitting rendered it impossible to make an: progress whatever, but I am inform ed by the solicitor of the fifth cir cuiti the Hon.

(See. 591 Civil Code of S. C., 1902, Vol. 1.) My purpose is, soon after the origi nal bonds have beein placed. in m' hands and been examined by me, t< return them to your custody as gov ernor and to obtain from you certiflei copies thereof.

We here propose 'that the farmers itow take up Mr. \Williamuston's tlieory stunting born and theAside applieation of for. tilizers along thr4ug the growing season, and bo uret have these comparative tests repeated several times upon different soils and the area measured. and the crops weighed. The public mind is now too exacting to take mere opinions derived from the looks of the brops; we must have the actual figures, and a repetition of comparative tests to confirm the value of any test. As Clemson's Experiment Station is well equipped for this work and has the funds to pay for it, we ask the farmers to make the formal re quest through' their organization for Clemson Experiment Station to take up this stunting corn question.
