National Grange Now
Has 100000 Members

Chicago. Nov l6-Membership in the
National Grange stands at approximate
ly $4,000. S. j. Lowell of Fredonia. y.
Y. master of the Grange reports. In
this period of active organization of
farmers, Mr. Lowell thus briefly
sketches the activities of his society
one of the Oldest and best known OF
the farmer organizations:
THE first grange was organized on
April 10. 1868, in F'redonia, \. Y. 1t is
a secret order. similar to all secret or
ders in many respects, with ritual
surpassed by none.
TT is non-sectarian and non-political
and is devoted wholly to agriculture
and agricultural pursuits.
.It has one distinction, that in all its
meetings it has what is known as the
Lecturers Hour This hour is devoted
ing to farm life, interspersed with mu-
sic, recitations, etc. by the younger
people. 1t has done more than any
other one thing to build up and
strengthen agricultural life.
THE grange Is now organized in SO
states. which are chiefly in the north,
as many of the southern states have
no Oranges. The largest grange state
is New York. which has membership
of 12s.0o0.

TO REDISTRICT KANSAS
Bill May Be Introduced in Next Session |
of Legislature.

Il
| A bill proposing that Kansas be re-
districted for state senatorial repre-
sentation probably will be introduced
| in the legislature which convenes in
January. Representatives in the west
Tern half of the state particularly desire
| redistricting. according to replies re-
ceived from questionnaires of the As
lsociated Press.
| From point of population as well as
property valuation, the western half
| is not as well represented as the east
ern half, it is asserted. According to
Iwould be- created in the western third
land one new district in the central
third. The number of senatorial dis
ltricts-forty-is fixed by the con-
stitution. To make the new dis
tricts possible. smaller districts in the
eastern part of the state would be COM
Ibined, for example, Marshall and
Washington counties, districts No. 10
land 20.
| A similar bill was introduced in the
| last legislature by Frank A. McIvor OF
Hoxie, Kan. 1t passed the house by
| a vote of 80 to Is, but in the senate it
Ireceived such strong opposition that 1t
was never reported from the commit
ttee.
To Split District.
| The population of the senatorial dis
Itricts ranges from 1906 in Washing
Iton county to 11O,252 in Wyandotte
county. The average is approximately
$4,000. The eighteen counties com
Iprising district No. 3S, in the SOUTH
western corner of the state, have a
population of 1850. This district
land district No. SO, which includes
thirteen counties in the northwestern
| part of the state having population
of S2,124. would be split, according to
the plan.
| In either of these two largest dis
- L. ol a n &
lance of about two hundred miles in
a straight line. Their populations
are about three-fourths as large as
the state of Nevada, the legislature OF
which is said to have more than fifty
members. The present boundaries or
senatorial districts were fixed before
the western part of the state was as
! thickly settled.
The population of the western third
| of the state is now 155, 1873. or the
central third 553.424, and of the east
ern third 1,051,236.' On the basis of
population, it is claimed by those
favoring redistricting, the western
third should have four senators IN
place of the present two, and the CEN
| trail third twelve in place of eleven.
| The property valuation in the west
ern third is s347,7S3. $40; in the CEN
| trail third S1,2S4.732,331 and in the
eastern third, $500, 621,336. on the
basis of valuat ton it is asserted that

An ANALYSIS of the appropriations
made by the 1919 legislature is said to
show that $231.300 was appropriated
to the western third, $1.401,362 to the
central third. and $S.589,024 to the
eastern third. 1t is freely admitted by
adherents of the redistricting pro-
posal, however, that such an apparent
| inequality in appropriations can not
be entirely avoided when most of the
states educational, charitable and
penal institutions are located in the
eastern half of the state.

Better Prices for Cattle.

Clemson College, Apr. 5.-Indica-
tions are that the consumer is going
to continue to pay high price for
beef. Last year at that time beef cat
tie on foot were bringing around 20
cents per pound, while now the same
cattle will scarcely bring Is cents.
Still the man who buys the beef is
paying practically the same price
now that he was paying last year
when cattle on foot were high.
1t would seem that steer feeders
and cattle breeders will make mis-
take if they discontinue their opera
tions, for it is the man that feeds cat
tie every year who comes out ahead.
The feeder or breeder who tries to
come in on the high prices and sell
high usually does the reverse.
With the low price of cattle on
foot there have been many herds dis
persed The breeding cattle have gone
to the block. This in an indication,
says w. j. Shealy, Extension Service
Animal Husbandry, that if this low
price continues for short while, the
law of supply and demand will with
in a very short time come in and the
producer will get a high price for his
beef cattle, and the consumer will
continue to pay the high price for
beef. 1t would seem then that the
man who is fixed for steer feeding
and can grow his feed, save his ma
nure, and continue these operations
is bound to come out ahead. In view
of this fact, suggests Mr.. Shealy
those men who plan for feeding
should plant now crops such as vel
vet beans, silage and corn for feed
ing out cattle this year.
