Humus is not an original element. It is thought to be the result of de composition of vegetable -matter, but it is so important, we have thought best to give it a place in the list. A soil having no humus w’ill not pro duce vegetable growth worth any thing, whether it be sand, clay, or loam. Many soils are somewhat sandy on top and have a stiff red clay below. Such soils are apt to be good and capable of indefinite improvement, but if the subsoil be a white sand or pipe clay, the soil is generally poor and apt to remain so.—Agriculture for the Common Schools. A. ISUNDTON UNION. Islandton, May 2$,—Special: 1 I am glad to see that all the Local H. | Unions have made their reports I with the exception of one. I will tell you something about the Island- ton Local which was organized by Mr. Mahaffey February 5th, 1909 with seven members. Four weeks later he came back and held another meeting, at which eight members were taken in, which run our num ber to fifteen. Here we stood until about the middle of August when our members began to wake up and say that if we ever expect to get any good out of the Union that we have got to do something. Our business agent got busy and obtained prices on a number of different things which was far below what we had been paying, and the result was that he made several orders and from that time on our Union has been steadily growing. However, we soon saw that the proper thing for us to do was to or ganize a stock company and put up a good store, which resulted in the FARMERS’ UNION DIRECTORY NATIONAL.

Brother Farmers organize stock companies, put up your own stores and then employ a competent mana ger to run them and I will assure you that it will save any Union, many dollars. Of course, if you go and employ some cheap John as manager, that knows nothing about business what can you expect but a failure but get a good competent man and pay him a good salary, for good men are not going to work for a song. How many Union stores are there in the County? I would like to hear from other Unions as to what they are doing to help them selves. Before closing I want to say that the Islandton Mercantile Co is doing a fine business and 1 understand will increase its capital stock next winter. C. R. Mears. COUNTY. L. C. Padgett—President.

Such soils have about seventy per cent. sand. ^ Clay soils have about the same per cent of clay. Soils which have about ohe- half clay and one-half sand are called loamy soils. When they have more sand than|clay, al>out sixty per cent sand and forty per cent clay, they are cal let! sandy loams. If they have more clay, about sixty percent, and less sand, about forty per cent, they are callcti clay loams. We find, then, sandy, clayey and loamy soils, all varying with the relative quanti ties of sand and clay entering into their composition. This clasification te based entirely upon the mechani cal construction of the soil. Sand is the name given to coarse particles • and clay the name given to fine par ticles. Soils also differ in color. Hence we have light, dark* red and black soils, and all shades between them. Again^we have names given on ac count of the power to produce vege tation. We have poor soils, which Buck Head dent; A. D. treasurer. Bethel—C. H. Breland, president; Allen Padgett, secretary-treasurer. Fuller—C. C. Crosby, president; B. J. Crosby, secretary-treasurer.
