tors employing the carpenters who are
out ON a strike held a meeting Thurs

are not going to retreat from their pol
sition, which is the source and cause

rather unsual that he should give his
correct name and address and suCf
facts when he has been wanted anG
sought by the bonding company.

pounds of fertilizer to the acre before
planting. At the second blowing l
applied four hundred and fifty pounds
more of fertilizer to the acre and when
the first cotton blooms appeared I ap-
piled seventy pounds of nitrate of soda
to the acre. 1 did this on sixty acres
of land which 1 planted in cotton and
on the sixty acres / gathered sixty
eight bales of cotton, averaging 511
pounds to the bale. And then, when
I thought | had gathered the crop after
Christmas, 1 picked enough cotton to
make 7l2 pounds of lint cotton so it
will be seen that altogether l made
more than seventy 500-pound bales of
cotton on the sixty acres. l cultivated
this cotton as | usually cultivate my
cotton except that it was fertilized bet
ter than usual. A good part Of this
fertilizer Vas Anderson Phosphate and

other standard brands. I was never

fertilized by Anderson goods and the
other goods. Yours truly,
