We are glad to anuounce that we have just made arrangements with the Farmers’

HERE IS WHAT YOU GET:
52 copies of the FARMERS’ UNION NEWS, Edited by Hon. R.

In this publication you will find all official news of the Farmers’
Union ; you will find strong and able editorials on current events ;
you ■will also find an Agricultural and a Home-Talks Department.
A copy of the Fertilizer Bulletin, issued by the Farmers’ Union of
Georgia. This tells you how to mix your fertilizers, also the anal
ysis to use on different soils, for the raising of different crops, as
well as a great deal of other information. This bulletin alone,
if carefully studied, is well worth the full amount of this offer.
