County Lecturer E. O. Meitzen
and President J, M. Canon went
out to Worthing Saturday night
and organized a Farmers Union lo-
cul with six members, and more in
prospect. A. F. Dornak is pres:
dent and John Dornak is secretary.

The jute bagging trust, which has
not dared to raise prices since the
Farmers Alliance of old made such
a winning fight on it, evidently in-
tends to repeat its tactics this year.
J. J. Haeusslffr, of Breslau, n gin-
ner and a good Union man, says
that from quotations made by the
trust he infers that bagging will
cost $2 for every bale ginned this
year. There has already been
some talk of using cotton duck as
a substitute for jute bagging and if
prices on the latter begin to soar,
the Farmers Union can be depend-
ed upon to revolutionize the
method of wrapping cotton as com-
pletely as it has that of handling
it.

The people of this section should
not forget that the big Farmers’
Union picnic will be held at the
Warehouse in Runge on April 13.
E. A. Calvin, president of the state
union will be here and deliver an
address to farmers, and as will be
noticed in another column, the j members and others pledged thorn-
business houses have agreed to j tp cultivate tracts of corn

holders meeting.
It was announced that, according
to the terms of the charter, a moot-
ing of the stockholders of the La
vaca County Farmers Union Ware-
house Company would be held in
Hallettsville on Tuesday May 7,
for the purpose of adopting consti-
tution and by-laws, electing a
board of seven directors and a
manager of the warehouse. Every
.stockholder to urged to attend, ns
business of vital importance will
come up for conwideration.
The idea of holding the next
regular-meeting on the tfirst Satur-
day in July at some |h»int in the
northern portion of the county and
having a several days’ Farmers’
Union “camp meeting” ;m<l barbe-
cue at the same time and place,
was discussed. It was finally de-
cided to have a special meeting of
the County Union on the same day
as the stockholders’ meeting
(May 7) for the purpose of decid-
ing the matter. The idea is to se
cure prominent Union orators for
the celebration and an especial ef-
fort will be made to have Bohemian
and (lerman speakers.
An open meeting of the Union
was had at 2 p. m. for the purpose
of hearing an interesting talk by
W. W. Campbell, special agent of
the U. >S. Bureau of Plant Industry
on the subject of Farm Deirkonstra
tion work. After the close of the
address quite a number of Union
will not come to a stand. We need Farmers have lieen very busy

County Union Meets.
The Lavaca County Farmers
Union met in regular session Satur-
day with a good attendance con-
sidering the busy farming season.
The Hallettsville, Shiner, Old
Sweet Home, Pilot Grove, Ezzell,
Light Chapel, Gephart, Seclusion,
Old Kinkier, Sublime Breslau and
Williamsburg locals were represent-
ed. There were also quite a num-
ber of visiting members.
The resignation of J. S. Airhart
as county lecturer and ex-officio or-
ganizer was accepted, he having ac-
cepted an appointment as deputy
state organizer, the duties of that
office taking him out of the county

Prof. Tom Ponton’s school closed
at Ezzell last Friday with a spell-
ing contest with the Chapel school,
a picnic and barbecue combined, al-
so a ball game on the side. It is
almost needless to praise the occa-
sion as everybody and their child-
ren were there. All parts of this
and adjoining counties were well
represented. A 75 or 80 foot table
was arranged and the good ladies
of that section certainly knew how
to load it with fine eatables. The
barbecue was fine. A. ('. Ix^lie
were the boss of the pit and deser-
ves praise for the fine meat. The
spelling match came out in a tie,
hothrschools spelled 40 minutes and
couldn’t miss a word. The base-
ball game stood 2N to 6 in fayorf of
Ezzell. Profs. Tom PontoiU and
Joe Parr have surely taught two of
the best and most interesting
schools in this section. -
