The report of the secretary shows that several new applications for membership have been received with in thc last few days and'that these ap plicants have been recommended for membership. A substantial increase in membership is now apparent und it iu believed that the European war is having a good effect on the county unions because of the fact that the farmers see the necessity of uniting for their own protection on ti j mar keting of crops. ( A resolution was introduced and adopted which says In effect that the Anderson county union must get be hind the effort to curtail the planting of cotton and to further crop diversi fication. This resolution would have the union endeacvor to further the move calling for more grain and less cotton to bc planted.

And resolved second, that we then hold such cotton until wc can get a profitable price for it.
