Experimental Work Lost.

"The grange is much interested in
who will be selected by President
Roosevelt for secretary of agriculture
and in the administration of that i'm
portant department of ten government.
I'VE feel that the people were badly
treated by the last legislature in its
turning down appropriations for
farmers institute and experimental
work.
Because of lack of appropriation
the Puyallup experimental station can
not start up, and that great benefit
to farmers is lost. We have to go
down in our own pockets to pay eX-
penses of farmers Institutes, when the
expenditures should properly be made
by the state.'

Copies have been received from the

Grain Must Pay Its Portion.
An important item on the list seeks
to prevent the escape of grain from
the tax rolls, which has been one of
the greatest taxation leaks in this
state, one new item requiring a report
on may, grain and other farm pro-
ducts in warehouse elevator or cold

NEED FARM HANDS
Farmers Seeking Help in WaIIa WaIIa
TODAY.

Farmers in Walla Walla county are
complaining at the lack of help to
do their fall blowing and seeding.
Quite a number of ranchers from the
Dixie neighborhood were in Walla
Walla this morning seeking men. The
ruling wages offered is $50 per month
and board. There are not very many
idle men in Walla Walla at present,
and it looks as though the farmers
will be forced to let some of their
work 60 over for several weeks.

STATE GRANGE HAS
SOLVED PROBLEM OF
GRAIN INSURANCE.
Old Line company's Rates Not to be
Compared-Sixty- Three Oranges
Now In State.

The Washington state grange mas
carried insurance for it's members at
a cost of 80 1-3 cents per annum per
$1,000 Of insurance as against old line
company basis rates of $3.50 per $1,000
per annum.
Such was the statement made today
by c. B. Kegley, Of Pullman, head of
the state grange, who is in Olympia
on business Of the association. Mr..
Kegley said:
There are now sixty-three oranges
in the state with a combined member
ship in excess of $500 and the associa-
ton is growing right along. The OBJ
jects of the grange are social, educa-
tional and business; the latter being
chiefly confined to mutual insurance.

the insurance On purely mutual ba-
sis. We keep in the treasury an
which we figure at about $500 per loss.
When losses occur to reduce this
fund We collect assessments pro rata
based on the amount of insurance car
ried by the members. We confine the
insurance entirely to buildings and
tents owned by members Of the
grange. We do no tinsure property of
others, nor do we issue livestock in
surance or insurance on crops.
THE grange is extending it's work
gradually from county to county.
This year We are working into Walla
Walla and Columbia counties. The
policy is to extend the organization in
as compact a form as possible; that
is not to have the oranges remote from
each other.
