GRANGE AND FARM WOMEN
Washington Changers Reply 70 secrs.
tary Houston's Query Regarding
Their Future Needs.
n. Editor
Of the National Grange, Westneld. Maoa

4 few months ago Secretary Of Az
r1culture David F. Houston sent out
inquiries, asking for opinions regard
ing the future needs and problems Of
the farm women Of the country, and
thousands OF replies have come back
to him, representing . great variety
OF opinions. The matter was taken
up In . big Grange meeting in the
state Of Washington and q very COM
plete answer made to MI. Houston's
questions and forwarded to him.
Some extracts from that communica-
ton indicate we'll the broad view -
this great question::
I'VE respectfully hold that In this
broad, fair land Of ours, every farm
home should be a sanitary abode and
in order to free the farmers wife
from the soul warping drudgery in
%incessant toll and to secure to her the
degree of leisure necessary to develop
and cultivate latent and dormant tai
ents and abilities, that every home
should be equipped with l~abor-saving
devices, such as-water under pres
sure, cold and hot-a sewerage sys-
tenn or sanitary cesspool-power to
run washing machine, wringer, churn,
etc.-a light plant-cabinetted kitch-
en-, and the many useful and clever
devices for saving time and steps.
I'VE are also OF the opinion that the
humdrum existence Of the average
farmers wife and the lack Of labor
saving devices in the average farm
home, are not due, except tn rare
cases, to the p-enuriOusness and sell
Ash conduct of the farmer husband,
but r caused by economic and social
conditions over which the individual
farmer has no control.
I'VE are also agreed that the eco
nomic, social, educational and home
forces that can elevate the agricul-
tural pursuit 4 q higher estate will
automatically bring about the better
ment Of conditions for the farmers
wife.
I'VE are convinced that the forces
that give hope, assurance and promise

wife are those enunciated in our or.
der's declaration of principles of &C
ton and all those that make for eco
nomic Justice and freedom, namely:
Cooperation in buying. selling and
manufacturing farm products and q
direct relation between the consumer,
and producer, farmer and manufac'
turer.
The scientific development and
management Of transportation: OF the
nations natural resources and all 9th
er social and industrial affairs.
THE establishment Of a co-opera.
tive banking ard credit system, max
ing it possible for the farmers of this
country to secure the capital neces-
sary for scientific production and eff
cient distribution on a long time,
low per cent plan. thus taking from
the fundamental industry the burden
and the curse of Indebtedness

GRANGE STRONG IN OHIO.

Some idea of the strength Of the
Grange In Ohio may be gained from
the fact that the Oranges in that state
own I'll halls, valued at $685.. 600.
while 1t 10 estimated that the musical
instruments alone In these halls are
worth 81. 200, besides all the other
furniture. Travelling libraries are .
great feature Of Grange work In Ohio.
and more than 10000 books In these
libraries are now In constant circula-
tinn among the Patrons n all parts Of
that state.

IN AMAZON VALLEY
Rubber Planters Have Learned Need
Of Producing Their Own Supplies,
and Prosperity Has Followed.

ct will be a long time before the
supply of rubber in the Amazon
valley has been exhausted, notwith-
standing the cry Of prophets that the
days of rubber prosperity have ended
forever" declared r. w. Hardy Of
Valparaiso, Chile, at Washington.
"In February Of this year, as COM
pared with the preceding month, the
shipments increased by nearly
100000 pounds, or 60 per cent.
The rejuvenvation of the industry
in Brazil is assured ; also in the east
ern provinces Of Peru. Some months
ago a man named La Toree estab-
lished a rubber plantation Of $4,000
trees, 10000 of which were fourteen
years old. This is not the only plan
tation, however, that has been estab-
lished. There are scores Of them
scattered through Brazil. The long,
continued depression in the rubber
market, far from disheartening rub
Der producers, taught them the
much-needed lesson Of not only pro-
ducing rubber, but enough addi-
tional products to supply them with
food and some reserve crops.
I'm other words, the Amazon val
ley has been taught economy. The
experts had said that Amazon rub
Der could not possibly be produced
under a certain minimum price, and
the highest factor in their calcula-
tions was the heavy cost of supplies
in a region where all supplies were
imported from markets 1000 miles
distant. This factor has now been
eliminated. The Amazon valley is
growing its OWL supplies in n Of
the most benefcent climates on the
face Of the earth"
