mand of crude resources and facilities

This is not to mention the presence
OF other institutions in the south such

them each day You will be in harmony

EVERY trade and nearly every &C.
cupation has its union, the object TO
advance and protect the interests Of
its members; to fix. so far as possible,
the minimum price they shall receive
for what they have to sell-their labor
and also to regulate the laws Of Ia
Dor, the number of hours that shall
constitute a days work. and why
should not the farmers-and there are
many more people in this country en-
gagged in farming than In any other
one industry-protect themselves in a
somewhat similar manner? The farm
ers have an organization through
which they can do this If they will, the
grange. and it's declaration of purposes
states plainly: We propose meeting
together, talking together. working to-
gether. buying together, selling togeth-
er and, in general, acting together for
our mutual protection and advance
ment, as occasion may require But is
the grange living up to this policy ?

Denatured Alcohol Plans,

The first denatured alcohol plant to
be built west of the Mississippi has
been located at Marshalltown. La. 1t
will cost $4,000, and will have a
capacity when operated night and day
of 5000 gallons of alcohol and will
require 5000 bushels of corn daily.
A force of twenty men. including four
government inspectors, will be required
to operate the plant. 1t is hoped that
this may be an object lesson TO other
sections. The manufacture Of dena
tured alcohol has not progressed as
rapidly as 1t was expected to, but IL
this plant is successful In its operation
1t will provide a new and larger mar
ket for corn. Ii is believed that the
business will develop throughout the
west Since many other products be-
sides corn can be used, such as pota.
toes, fruits and some vegetables-in
fact, almost any product which con-
tains starch-it will afford a ready
market for many things that now go
to waste on the farm.

Overseer Vary's Opinion.

We have been asked the question.

committees TO either advocate or OPP
pose legislation not directly for the
farmers interest and not specifically
agricultural in its purpose or effect"
Our reply in the main would neces-
sarily be in the negative for several
reasons. In the first place. there are
so many matters Of legislation that we
are vitality interested In that 1t seems
TO us that If we give proper attention
to those matters il is all that we can
as an organization we'll care for.
Second.-Ihere are other important

mittees are not very conservative and

farmers are directly interested in they
will have little time 10 devote to sec

is weakened if we attempt too much.
The success of the grange In the past

THE ABANDONED FARM.

With about all of the free govern
ment land taken up and the hunger of
folks for land increasing rather than
diminishing. good dea. of interest is
being shown by home seekers in some
sections In what are known as the
abandoned farms found In the New
England states. but In larger number in
the state of New York. These farms
are usually found in billy sections and
comprise tracts which In the begin
ming never should have been reclaimed
from the forest areas of which they
were a part or are tracts which orig
inally possessed an agricultural value
which has been reduced and depleted
as a result of skinning and robbing
system of handling. In some fewer in
stances these farms. possessing consid-
cradle agricultural value, are to be
found in localities which are particu-
larly remote and lonesome or at too
great a distance from market. Often
the ueighborhoods in which these
farms are found are peopled by folks
of an ultra conservative and nonpro-
gressive class. the remnant following a
long period in which there has been
an exodus of the younger and more
progressive members of the commu-
nifty TO sections farther west, where ag-
ricultural conditions were more invit-
ing The farms in question still pos
sessing possibility Of regeneration and
agricultural usefulness have become
unproductive as a result of improper
handling. which has brought about
poor physical condition OF the soil, lack
in humus and soil sourness or acidity.
A good deal of thought has been de-
voted to the possibility Of retaining
these abandoned farms. and as a result
of these investigations some practical
suggestions have been made. One of
these investigators is Dean Bailey of
the New York experiment station at
Cornell. n. Y. He believes that these
farms may be used for one OF three
purposes-the growing of fruit. the re-
vival Of animal industries and extern
sion Of dairying and for the growing of
forests Properly handled. including
the raising of stock and dairying and
the application of fertilizers and lime.
there is little question that many Of
these farms could be brought TO sat
isfactory profit giving basis. A point
In their favor is nearness to large mar
ket centers. which will continue to i'm
prove as the years 20 by. Many Of
these farms will never be reclaimed
Others. however. will be. and are de-
serving Of the careful investigation Of
the land seeker who may not have a
considerable amount to invest.
