degree of success requires labor
skilled in farm practice, for that
reason many attempts by we'll
meaning people to aid in furnish
ing farm laborers have proved
futile. While re-affirming our 10y
atty to our country, the Grange
should use every effort to keep
skilled laborers on the farm where
they can better serve this country
than in the trenches. Recently,
the District Board of Delaware has

that line.
''The farmers should receive just
compensation for their products.
II is not Just to regulate the price
of wheat, hogs or any other pro-
duct of the farm, unless the fertll-

things that the farmers use IN
their business are regulated in like
manner. The Grange should de-
mand of Congress that this in
