that they would turn and demand
cheaper food from us without first as
pertaining the cost of production and
discovering that we were not taking
too large margin of profit. AS your
spokesman, we feel the Grange should
still be liberal, and notify all interests
that we are willing to sit down and
have a fair understanding OF values;
the farmer receiving the same pay for
the same hours work as others receive,
no NOR, no less, BUT THAT THIS Is
THE LAST CALL. If no attention is
paid to this by bankers, manufacturers,
railroad and labor organizations, and
the government continues 70 use it's
great power to import raw material
free of duty to reduce costs as a pos
sible expedient the Grange will be
forced to join other organizations in
the movement to organize nationwide

Some idea of the value of a county
agent can be gained from figures on
crop acreages compiled in Slope coun-
ty, where Charles Eastgate has been
agricultural agent for the past three
years.
Since the time Mr. Eastgate started
working in 1917 the corn acreage has
been more than tripled, from 3, 11S
acres in 1917 to 1921 in 1920, while
the acreage of millet has increa sed

Durum wheat, which has come into
favor during the past few years be-
