INTERESTING MEETING
Of FARMERS UNION

An interesting meeting of the
Polk County Farmers Union was
held on Thursday, the 9th, at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. T. George,
on the south shore of Lake Hunter,
The meeting was largely attended
by members, friends and neighbors.
The welcome address by Mr.. George
and the table enticements were al
Turing, the vanishing viands inclined
| the crowd to take to the water. An
abundance of fresh fish, cooked and
well salted, were appetizing, while
the needed liquid (water and coffee)
were in good supply. Chicken, cakes,
pies, pickles, and bread in variety
and out of proportion to the crowd.
| The ladies gathered boxes of frag-
ments while the men and children
| indulged in social chat and playful
antics about the premises. The cool
tveranda with chairs for most of the
,, members and visitors was resorted
to and many topics of interest taken
up. Plant physiology and control
of fruit bloom and buds came up
easily and the phenomena of sap
formation and circulation was in
line. Then, warbles, and the new
idea of their origin, was discussed by
part of the experienced men. The
annual ring growth Of trees took
some attention. The spaces be-
tween the rings showing past good
or bad seasons. The State president,
Mr.. Thornhill, of Wauchula, was in
troduced by the county president,
Mr.. J. l.. McClelland, and he ad-
dressed the Union on the subject Of
"The Principles and Needs of the
Union" advocating greater conf
dence and cooperation to bring
about better times in the country.
The writer was allowed a few
words and spoke of the remedy:
more and Better Schools" for the
rising generation, the children are
the plant plants and can be sent to
the ideals of the older members Of
the Union who see visions" The
arousing to life is the fascinating
year wearing work of the live and
well-equipped school teacher who
will be abroad in the land very soon.
After a short recess, the Union
went into executive session, while
the friends and visitors went into
conference ad libitum, until the
western rain clouds approached near
enough to cause the members to has
