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

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

.and woro given a lot. of help by
memhors of the poultry stuff at

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

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.

Portland Set
For National
Grange Meet
72nd Annual Session Will
Be Held November 16-24;
7th Degree Class to
Exceed 6,000.
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.
With meeting-places and hotel
facilities at Portland adequate for
tho Grange convention, tho latter
is exported to be without question

the greatest gathering of farm
people ever held west of the Mis

candidates who . will receive the
Seventh degree at Portland Is like
ly to be larger .than has been true
at any previous session -of the
National Grange, except held at
extreme Kastern points, where
Grange membership is very heavy.
Patrons iu the great Northwest

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. AZALEA GRANGE

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.
