AGRICULTURE.

Agriculture, speaking in the broad
est sense, is not only the great basic
occupation on which all occupations
depend but to a large degree it iu-
cludes many occupations. and, in a
way, to gain full knowledge of the
science and art of agriculture the en-
tire field of the industrial arts must
be covered. The modern farm is a
mechanical factory and a scientific
laboratory. This is becoming more
and more generally realized and to-
day the occupation of the farmer is
considered not only honorable but a
profession fit to rank with that of
the engineer, doctor or lawyer.
To keep pace with his fellows and
maintain the standard of his profess
sion the farmer must read on broader
lines than almost any other calling
or profession. He must not only read
the agricultural journals but maga-
zines treating on current events. He
must not confine himself to breeding
and careful stock selection to keep
up his herd, but to keep pace with

Since our meeting one year ago the
growth of the Order in this State has
exceeded that of any other year in
our history not so much in number
of new Oranges organized, but with
additions to those already organized.
Our gains since we met in Snohomish
one year ago have been 53 Subordin
ates organized, six reorganized and
two Pomonas. Our membership has
now reached II, 600 members. This
continued growth is an evidence of
the life and strength of the Order in
our State. But the efficiency of our
organ ization in promoting the public
welfare and the harmony that exists
throughout the Order in supporting a
live, aggressive public policy, counts
for even more than numbers, for with
a lack of unity in such support our
mem bers would count for but little.

to the front. Patrons, it is matter
of intense satisfaction to me that the
Washington Grange has been pioneer
in reawakening the membership of
our great Order throughout the Union
to its responsibility and that its first
and most important duty is to turn
the searchlight on it's own officers and
insist on active, aggressive leadership.

duty we need never fear but what the
report of the good of the Order each
succeeding year will be glorious and

ly hope that each of them will receive
the hearty support of every patron in
the State. In this connection | desire
to call your attention to pages four
five, six, seven and eight of the re-
port of the Joint Legislative Com
mittee IN It's review OF the legislative
proceedings. This report was compli
ed at great expense both of time and
energy and is of great value to the
membership. 1t will prove a great
help to you in your efforts to instruct
voters how to intelligently mark their
ballots. We wish to acknowledge our
Indebtedness for much of this valuable
work to those who we're associated
with the Grange Legislative Com
mittee during the last legislative ses-
sion and more especially Brother g.
r. Case for the final preparation of
the review.
We urge you to keep in mind the
who were working against your in
terests in the last session as we'll as
your friends. A man who worked
against these public welfare measures
is not worthy of your confidence.

THE INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM
AND RECA LII.
We would be derelict in our duty
if we failed especially to urge upon
you the Importance of seeing that
every voter is informed as to the I'M
portance Of carrying the Initiative,
Referendum and Recall by large ma
jorltes. For years the Grange has
been working from these measures
and it is now up to every patron in
Washington to see that workers ale
stationed at every voting precinct and
that no ballot is cast without first
being marked in favor of these tre-
mendouSly important constitutional
amendments.
GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION.
Seattle, the chief city of our State,
is under the commission form of
government and two hundred cities
have now adopted this form. One
half of these adopted the system dur
ing the past year. This important
reform is taking strong hold of the
people and as | said in my annual
address last year [ am proud that it
was the Grange that led the way In
advocating 1t in this State 1t was
in 1909 that first called attention to
this impor tant reform and explained
its advantages at some length.
Patrons, assist In pushing the good
work forward. Remember the cities
are the farmers chief market and
that the purchasing power of city
people-our chief customer s-will be
greatly increased when we have de-
stroyed graft and stopped monopoly
spoilation IN our cities.

The Indian had always contended
that his tribe was robbed of its lands

he went to Washington, where he ap-

$1,000 or more for knowledge that
would lead to immediate arrest.
