TWO ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURC, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1938. 4 H Clubs Get Valuable Aid From Grange Scholarships Provided and Numerous Projects Made Possible as Units of Farm Industry. " . : Tly E. A. WtlTTON Comity 1-H Club Leader One ot tho clilef concerns of tlio Grange in its program is tliut ot I tho welfare of young people. Grangers believe tliut if proper - cure were given cliliuren, especial ly In the matter of training, u new work! can be brougnt anoui in tw generations. Grangers recoguize in ttie 4-H club work a program oricn- led to real democracy and not one which in hitched to u star, in other l words, they recognize in 4-11 club work a means for people learning " what democracy in by actually par- ticiimtlng In democratic work. Graugcrji liave helped Douglas couuty in not only increasing the amount of club work but in im m proving the nuallty of it. Of this county's seventy 4-11 who attended this years suminc: , school on the Oregon State college campus, Granges sent 10 by pro vidlng scholarships. Euch year one . day is set aside at this summer school at State Grange day. On this day stato officials and subordinate . granges assemble una put on a pro- gram at the ufternoon session and I all I II club delegates are present- ed from tho platform. Douglas eouu ty gruuges who provided scholar ships for summer school are: l'o- mona, 1 scholarship; Itlvorsdale, 2 "Days Creek, 2; Melrose, 1; South Deer Creek, J; Kiddle, 1; Kellogg, 2: Glldo, 1; Evergreen, 1: Look , iugglass, 1; Loon Lake, 1; Myrtle Creek, 1, and Sutherllu, 1. J'l'ojucts carried and complulcd " in this year s 4H program included liveHtock, poultry, coin, barley, oats, forage, potatoes, forestry, veg- eljiblo gardening, wood working, cooking, clothing, canning, room " lmrovement, marketing, roso and j flower gardening, health and hob : by. Livestock Project One of tho most important proj- i. ects carried by boya chiefly Ih that of livestock. During the past year 11 clubs with a membership of 112 4 carried tho livestock projects. . Thoso projects Include hogs, snoop - and dairy cattle. 4-H club hoys of Douglas county own very closo to -100 animals. These boys liavo been . given an opportunity to pick up considerable Information on live 'titock at tho '1-H club summor )f school, on (he -1-H livestock judg- lug lours, hi judging cnnlests and from participating iu their owu ' r.l ub meetings. Many of the boys i, riHltod runches oulsido oi this coun- ty well known for excellent live Unlock ami farm melhods. For in- stance, 30 of the livestock mom heiri visited one dairy ranch where they hiiw six world's record Jersey " cows in ono herd. T Poultry Raising . m In the mutter of poultry raising, i members registered in this project. Sixteen of thoso produced 1 china pheasants for Hie gamo com . mission. This group produced lOIU birds for which It received $77.r.f0 from tho game couuuIhsIoii. This is a very prnfllahlo project and Ih of Hhort duration as the birds are only kept from ten to twelve weeks. He " sides making profit from this prnj- ect, tlieso phnasnnt raisers ac . ijulro an attitude of protection for game birds and animals, other poultry raisers are raising chick " ens and tnrkevs. Some of these nro older members and havo consider nhlo sized flocks. A poultry tour wuh held this year. Four members jj took tiflvantugo of this opportunity .and woro given a lot. of help by memhors of the poultry stuff at Oregon Slate college ami on Joyed a vlwlt lo the entire Gonls I'outlry m plant at Eugene. Corn Project Coiisiilerublu experimenting has been done with hybrid corn this year among club members, there being lit) different strains ot hybrid 2 corn planted and cared for. Don Harmon, near the Country club, has four different kinds of hybrid corn, Waller IUurl;s at Itlvorsdale has 11, Labile Ultchlo of (innleu valley ban 10, l,yle Spore of Days Crock liatt 2, ami George Marsh of Look- iugglass has 4. Thoso corn trials were made to determine whether or not it would bo profitable to grow hybrid corn ou these landH. I From general uppoaruiuerf, it seems that the hybrids are inferior to the open pollinated varieties herein More plained, at least inlVrinr lo 'the open pollinaled corn grown along t;ido of Ihe hybrid this year. TheHo boys will determine yield per Micro at harvest time and will have u moisture content analysis nnnle fcat OreKou Stato ccdlene so that -lhey will be able lo provide uccu " late information. Clothing and Cooking . Among the girls' work, iluihing - and cooking seem to be Ihe most popular this yc:,r. there being :to . clothing group' with n membership of tiLMi and 2ti cooking clubs with a membership or 232, Tim woik in ' theso two projects has Increased over other years and certainly has -improved in finality.

However. Ihe grunge kept steadfastly at work until the present parrels post law was onaiioil in 1912. The numerous attempts which have since been made to cripple or destroy this useful fenice of the government huve met with the strong opposition uf tho grange. j nudllorluui, which will be licudquaiters for the national grange conven incluxlve. OnUlnndliii; in the program tor the national meeting, being Sixth degree, Portland, 1:00 p. m Community Activities of Varied Forms Center at Organization's Hall. One of Douglas county's live wiro subordinate granges Is locat ed on South Deer Oreok and serves the residents of that urea. Organized iu 1912 with 35 char ter members, It has a prosent membership of 55. Officers of South Deer frock grange are Mrs. Cora Colllsnu, master; Mrs. Clyde Kester, lec turer; William H. Halley, secre tary; Mrs. Esther Morberg, home economics chairman; C. L. Kran tnn, chalman of tho agricultural committee. South Deer Creek grunge ' er oded lis grunge hall In .11113. Tho hall has since been enlarged and altered ami kept thoroughly inotl orn and serves as a community center. It has been the scene of many conferences wllh profes sors from tho agricultural col lege, has accommodated u great many audiences which havo gath ered to hoar public speakers, ami has served in general to supply the meeting place needs of the community. Tile grange has for several yours hold joint inonllngs at lis hall with the Kosebuig Kiwanls club, and has for the past 25 years conducted a "harvest ball" in October, when the hall is tastefully decorated with products of the farm and forest. The hall frequently has been used for church services. Sunday schools, parent-teacher meetings, etc. South Deer Creek grange sends one or more or lis -I II club mem bers to summer school at Corral. lis eacll year. Debt Honoring Recalled An interesting incident to the credit of South Deer Creek grunge was Hie payment lor a wire fence surrounding the local cemetery. Years before the or ganization of Hie grange, money had been collected to pay for a fence around the three-acre burial plot, bill the person to w hum the money had been entrusted tailed to pay the account. When the Hose burg merchant who hud sold the running read of the organization ol' the grange, lie inn lied a atalu inent to the secretary asking the account be paid. While (lie In debtedness was not contracted by tile grange and was outlawed by the time, the amount was paid In lull. One or (ho first ami most far leaching services of the grange was ihe fight which It launched in 172 for Hie regulation and control of transportation companies. At a time when tiie railroads of the country were Inrgely n law linto themselves, and when Ihoy wore guilty of many excesses, the'gijinge secured from tho courls a decision that the creature can never be greater than Its creator. The In tersiate Commerce Commission, which was established illiST, had ils inception in. t he'-successful cul mination of this" groat light in do. fonse of the rights of l lie people. The right ot the government lo con trol public service corporations is predicted upon thu principle which was established ill this conncctiun.

Karly in the seventies, tho grange launch ed its heroic fight through legis lation and otherwise, to check the misuse of land,- grant funds and to inaugurate and develop in (he Institutions established under this act the most comprehensive system of agricultural and indus trial education the world has ever known. GRANGE ADVOCATES SMITH-HUGHES ACT Tiie grange, vlgorousby . support ed tho Smllli-Lever act, passed in 1911. establishing tho ugriciillural extension service, county agents, home demonstration agents and club workers.

These efforts w ere crowned with Hiiccess when the Hutch act, as drafted by the grange legislative committee, was passed in 18K7.

Porlla.id is rapidly making ready for its great November event, the entertainment of the National Grange, when tho latter organization goes to the Pacific Coast for Its 72nd annual session. The Portland event of November 16-24 follows last year's conven tion at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and twice before the National Grange has met at Portland, in 1D04 and 1921, both times with pleasant memories of n city thor oughly awake to tho priviloge of entertaining such a nation-wide gathering and doing the job well. The neighboring states of Wash ington and Idaho are cooperating heartily with Oregon In planning entertainment for the Grange folks who will coma from all parts of the country, while the civic and business organization! of Portland are also joining iu an entertain ment program which will leave no doubt of Portland hospitality. Al though tho National Grange holds three long business sessions daily, it usually sets apart a little time for relaxation trips, always at tends church in a body Sunday morning, and invariably pays a visit to the state's ugrlcultural col lege and other points of interest. Friday, November 18, will be the big day of tho Grange convention, when the supreme ritualistic de gree will bo conferred in the beau tiful municipal auditorium at Port laud, supplied with all the acces sories needed for such an event. Kven now there Is assurance of Seventh degree class of upwards of G.UU0 and enthusiastic Pacific Coast Grange leaders venture still higher figure. Those familiar with tho ritualism of American fraternities declare there is noth- ug more beautiful than the Sev enth degree of the Grange, ami, with tho rapidly-growing member ship iu the slates o Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho, there seems every reason for believing that the great Portland class anticipated will be fully realized. An Important feature of the Portland event will be the coast- to-coast special train, all Pullman cars, for which Grange passengers will bo picked up throughout the Eastern states, assembled at Chi cago , and then run on a uo chane, all-the-way trip to Port land, down tho Pacific Coast to Los Angeles, and then back to Chi cane, where tho party will be dis banded, en route for their homes. Already complete preparations for this lira ago special train have been made and there is likelihood of at least 200 passengers making the entiro trip, in addition to at tending the Portland convention.

Patrons iu the great Northwest will drive hundreds of miles to reach Portland and in addition to receiving the climax degree of the ui Ktiuiiauyu win nave me oppor tunity of seeing tho National Grange in action, as it discusses great pending agricultural and economic questions and defines its policies for the future as the leading spokesman of the Ameri can farmer. The fact that the Grange is tho oldest, and by far the largest, of all farm groups in America gives exceptional interest to tho coming Portland conven tion.

FOOD AND DRUG ACT URGED BY GRANGE The grange was a pioneer in the long crusade which resulted In placing the pure food and drugs act upon the statute books of the' United States, "it was in 1881 that the grange launched its cam paign for this epoch-making legis lation, passed in 1106, which put an end to intolerable abuses and which protects the life and health of the people. It has supported all supplementary legislation of like character that has since been enacted. DISEASES" FOUGHT Beginning in 1880. the grange urged legislation providing for the prevention and eradication of cou tafiious diseases among domestic animals, coupled always with a demand for reasonable compensa tion lo owners of animals thus slaughtered.
