tiles, will be responsible for such
statements. We do not claim that
the Grange has been wholly respon-
sible for the achievements of the past
but we do claim, however, that it has
been leader in initiating measures
benefitting agriculture and in shap-
ing public sentiment in it's favor. We
do not propose to claim for the grange
more than it is fairly entitled to, but
we are in position to prove thai the
Grange has been a leading dominant
factor in so shaping and controlling
affairs that rural life has become
cleaner and more uplifting, and IN en-
acting legislation that spells progress
and prosperity for the farmer. And
| it has been most encouraging to ncte
the spirit Of fraternity and helpful
ness that has at all times beer man :
/ fest.
This is the more remarkable when
we realize the tremendous distance
that separates our membership and
! the diversity of interests necessarily
attendant upon widely separated COM
munities.
Our Order is national one, national
in all it's work, knowing no north, no
south, no east, no west. United by
the silken cord of fraternity, it is
laboring to make happier and rnore
prosperous homes on the hills and in
the valleys Of New England, amid the
sugar, rice and cotton fields Of the
Seuih, .Ghe corn, wheat and pasture
lands of the central States, as well
| as to increase the sunshine and pros
perity Of the farm homes of our broth
ers and sisters who live in the fertile
valleys famed by the breezei Of the
| Pacific Ocean.
in short, it is the purpose OF this
great fraternity to increase happiness
in the 100000 farm homes, and
make agriculture more prosperous in
all parts of our glorious country. 1t
Sti'l has higher and grander objects,
;mong which are to elevate the stan
dard of intelligence among the farm
ng popula ton and to inspire in them
more exalted ideas of citizenship.
1t is perhaps impossible to csti-
mate at it's true value the benefits the.
grange has brought to it's membership
from developing the social features
and cultivating the social graces. To
people who live in isolated communi-
Ties, farm from the centers of popula-
ton the grange has brought relief
from the tedium and monotony Of
farm life. 1t has brought us into
contact with our fellows, has broad
cned our view point and taught us
that we are to assume responsibilities
and discharge duties that lie outside
our own immediate personal environ
ments. And while it is true that
isolation fosters meditation, it is equal
ly true that contact with our fellows
crystallizes these thoughts and stim-
uatcs action, and the meetings of the
Order furnish the opportunity to make

The Grange and It's
Achievements

The saith annual session Of The Ma
tional Grange, that has just closed its
meetings in Boston, has, in many re-
spects been the most important Of any
meeting ever held by the grange.
First of all, it is significant that, the
conditions in America today are al
most identical with those out of which
the Order had its inception. This
country at that time had been torn
asunder by four years of civil strife.
and it was during the years Of recon
struction that the founders Of the
Grange called it into being to perform
work imperatively demanded, and a
work which by its very nature this or
ganization was peculiarly fitted to do
And so today like then, in the judg-
ment of many critics the period that
is to follow, is more critical time,
so far as the permanency of this ma
ton is concerned. than the days of
the war itself
We find now as then that all indus
tries, including that great basic in
dustry, agriculture, is PROSTATE, and
it is Immediately apparent that unless
that fundamental occupation can be
speedily revived then all other indus
tries will suffer and the future, if not
the very life, of the whole people will
be menaced.
But, the problem Of reconstruction
at this time is not as delicate task
as then, for at that time the Nation
was divided into two distinct parts.
The North and the South. The task
of bringing together that divided ma
t;,,, ,,,J,r s,,oh onrJ;+;rrc bovn rnvar
been surpassed in the annals of his
tory.
Two facts became Immediately APP
parent as that great problem was fac
ed (D That reconstruction must be
slow, uphill process that nothing
short Of many years could accomplish.
(2) That was task in which every
citizens assistance was needed, ex-
ercised through both individual and
organized channels, to the extreme
limit of opportunity. 1t was out of
this situation that the Grange was
born.
1t seems to me to be peculiarly fit
ting at this time that we pause for a
time, at least long enough to take an
account Of stock to see where We are
at, to summarize our achievements,
and decide if possible, why some of
our best directed efforts have resulted
in failure. And while doing this, let
us not forget that it is an achievement
of no small magnitude for an organ
ization to live, thrive and grow for
fifty years, overcoming conditions
seemingly at these insurmountable and
ultimately arriving at the proud posi-
ton now occupied by the Grange.
1t has some times been said that
the Grange claims credit for every
thing creditable in sight. Nothing
could be further from the truth, and
assuredly no well-informed person who
has made study of Grange History

FRANK LIMA WRITES
ABOUT FARM BUREAU
WORK IN MONTANA

Mr.. Frank Linha of North Prairie
writes of some of the work done by
the Farm Bureau in Montana. Mr..
Linha is an enthusiastic supporter OF
the Farm Bureau work and believes
that the farmers are on the right
track to secure representation in leg
islative matters and also to work out
some of the economic problems.
The following letter was written to
N. D. German, County Agent, in re-
tana.
Minot, N. Dak., Dec. 10, 1920.
Mr.. N. D. German, County Agent,
jMinot N. Oak.
Dear Mr.. Gorman:
have become very much interest
ed in the Farm Bureau and for that
reason am taking the liberty Of writ
ing to you in regard to some of the
work that has been done thru the Farm
Bureau in Montana. j. T. Devorak
who formerly lived in Montana and
farmed there in Phillips county during
the dry season received seed loan
from the government which was made
possible by the Farm Bureau in Mon
tana in 1919.
As you know that year was COM
plete failure in Montana and farmers
were unable to pay off loans received
and it was necessary that something
be done to extend these loans. Again
the Farm Bureau took up the work and
received for the farmers Of Montana
the cancellation Of the chattel mort
cages where the crop was under five
bushels per acre. In Phillips county
alone the farmers borrowed through
the Farm Bureau approximately one
quarter of a million dollars. If the
Farm Bureau had not been organized
in Montana these loans would never
have been made, and it was the work
Of the Farm Bureau that got the
money for the drouth stricken farm
ers. It was also through the Farm
Bureau that when these loans couldn't
be paid because of drouth they were
extended without interest and the
mortgage released.
This, of course, is only small part
of the work of the Farm Bureau and
particularly of the American Farm
Bureau Federation and State Fedora
tion. l am satisfied that the Com
mittee Of Seventeen that is now work
ing on plan for marketing wheat is
going to get some real results for the
farmers. I have every confidence
that this committee will develop the
system whereby the farmer can re-
ceive q price above the cost Of pro-
duction for their products. I am
glad to know that Ward County as
part of North Dakota, the second
largest wheat growing state in the
Union is supporting this movement as
it is. I am glad to see the farmers
so enthusiastic for this movement
which will place agriculture on bet
ter basis and make work on farm
, more profitable.
Yours very truly,
FRANK LINHA.

SUPPOsING WE USED
CORN FOR MONEY

Last year, when corn was $3.50 a
bushel farmer could get S gallons
of gasoline for single bushel. To-
day at the farm price, that bushel
Of corn only buys / gallon of gasoline.
Last year 6 bushels of corn would
buy ton Of soft coal. Today that
ton of coal costs 40 bushels of corn.
Last year 40 bushels Of corn would
purchase $50 suit Of clothes. To-
day it would take 200 bushels to buy
that suit. Yet had clothing been re-
duced in price proportionately with
corn, $50 suits Of clothes would now
be selling for $12. .
Last year 10 bushels of corn would
buy SIS pair of shoes. Today it
takes so bushels.
Last year a good pair Of shoes
could be bought for one cowhide. To-

Mr.. Capper might just as well have
illustrated his interesting comparisons
with the price of wheat, which has
declined proportionately with corn
Every man in business is entitled to
a fair profit and the farmer is entitled
to reasonable profit for what he pro-
duces. The businessmen are not get
ting any more for their merchandise
than they are entitled to, but some.
thing should be done, as Mr.. Cappe,
suggests, to see that the farmers is
treated right at this time. His sug.
gestions are worthy of consideration
by Congress.
