A pure bred animal, as we ordinarily
use the term, is one that comes from
parents that are either registered or
eligible to registration in the herd book
Of particular breed, says e. 7. Black
In the Rural New Yorker. All the
breeding associations Of repute require
that both sire and dam meet the above
requirements before an animal can be
recorded. The pure bred animal is su-
perior to the scrub in many ways, the
most important Of which Is its greater

Don't Sell Your Wheat

Wheat may be 500 or more per

Don't Rob Your Soil

The way TO raise good crops is to
grow clovers and peas and use a
little phosphate to keep up fertility.
The clovers and peas are valuable
crops TO raise. especially since there
is always a shortage Of hay in this
regioh.-They furnish a feed crop
much more valuable than oats and
nearly as valuable as corn and at the
same time deposit large amounts Of
nitrogen, the high priced element Of
fertilizer. in the soil.

WASHINGTON GRANGE.
Annual Meeting at North Yakima Dis
cussed Important Matters.

cussed Important Matters.
Washington is one OF the grange
states that holds its annual meeting in
the early summer instead of the rigor-
Gus winter The session this year was
held at North Yakima and was well
attended. State Master c. Il. Kegley
gave Z strong address, in which he set
forth policies of the grange in this
strongly progressive grange state in
most forceful words
1t appears from the secretary's re-
port that the receipts of the year. in
Guiding cash on hand at the beginning
of the year. We're S11.12SSS and that
the cash balance on hand May 81,
1914, was $4,000. The state grange
paid national grange dues to the
amount of $4,000. 1t cost So, 1O1.T to
publish its official paper.
Among the resolutions adopted of
general interest was one to the effect
that the time limit for the session of
the national grange should not exceed
one week. 1t was stated that the cost
of the annual sessions for the past
three years has averaged over 81 900
each, and therefore it was believed
that the session should be shortened.
Another resolution opposed repre-
sentation in the state Legislature by
nontaXpayers. The state tax table
showed that seventeen representatives
and two senators pay no taxes at all,
that twenty eight representatives and
three senators pay less than $40 each
and that forty representatives and six
senators pay less than 500 each The
average per capita for both houses
was $25.27.
The grange Endorsed the bill now
pending before congress known as S.
r. 1854, which favors government
ownership of telegraph and telephone
lines. The grange took the position
that the government should control all
inventions which contribute to the pub
lie good.
AS there are large importations of
butter from New Zealand and eggs
from China and as the butter thus i'm
ported is cut up and wrapped in Wash
ington creamery wrappers the grange
declared that all imported butter and
eggs should be marked, so that the
consuming public may know just what
they are buying.
The progressive state oranges, so
called, were by resolution requested to
meet in Washington just prior to the
meeting Of the national grange in Viii
mington, Del, in November to fOrmu-
late policies and plans relating TO ru-
raj credits. road legislation and other
important matters.
Another resolution commended Presi-
dent Wilson for doing all that it seems
possible TO do to maintain peace on
earth and good will toward men,
with special reference to the Mexican
situation.
State Master Kegley said in his ad-
dress that the grange demand for par
eel post improvement will not be salts
fed until We have established postal
express service reaching all rural dis
tricts as well as the cities as full and
complete as that now enjoyed by the
cities by the double service of the linn
tied parcel post and the private ex-
press companies.

The Suffolk county On. " Pomona
grange is an example of a worthy and
efficient enterprise The grange is
young in Long Island. but under the
progressive direction of its leaders it
is setting pace for oranges in other
sections. The Suffolk grangers are
alive to the farmers interests and are
accomplishing results. The following
brief account of Pomona meeting
will show the nature of its general ac-
tivities
The committee on county fair report
ed that they had secured an offer from
the Fair association of first prize of
500, second Of S75 and third of
$50 for grange exhibits at the fair in
September. They also reported that
movement was on foot to erect a
grange building on the fair ground, to
be used for grange exhibits and the
second floor as an auditorium and
grange hall.
Resolutions We're offered and enthu-
siastically adopted recommending that
all subordinate oranges make the finest
exhibits possible and that each grange
raise at least 500 toward the grange
building Some oranges reported hav-
ing already started the building fund.
a list of subscribers has been started,
each of whom pledges himself to be
one of 100 to give SO 1t is expected
that $1,000 will be raised by the
oranges and through their influence
for a fine building They want to
make the fair prosperous, attractive
and clean. They will cut out the vul-
gar side shows and cut down the horse
racing. They mean to demonstrate
that the grange stands for the best in
agriculture and rural life.
The Pomona bureau of information
and markets, cooperating with similar
bureaus in all the subordinate oranges,
is doing great work to bring producers
and consumers together and afford the
farmers a better market. The discus
sion Of this work was interesting and
profitable. EZRA a. FUTILE,

goes on to say, what is undoubtedly
true, that for a man with capital, the
East today offers far better prospects
than the West; and thatin Rhode Island
which would not be called an agricul

knowledge can go into the country back
from the railroads, and on five hundred
acres, more or less, make more clean
profit at growing wheat, rye, corn, hay,

than he could in Kansas or Dakota.
