l."il!o' WllUmetto Farmer:
As your very valuable paper is de
voted almost exclusively to tho in
terests of tho farming community,
1 write you this to tell you that the
rarmers or this vicinity are going to
work, as I think, In tho right way to
ndvanco their interest and elevate
the noblo calling to which they do
voto their lives. Mr. J. Campbell,
State Deputy, "appointed by the Na
tional Granso of "Tho Patrons of
Husbandry," called n meeting of the
farmers of tills county and organized
n .Subordinate Orange, at this place
on Jan. 15th. This is an order which
has been in successful operation in
the older States during tho last five
years, and is spoken of In tho highest
terms by those acquainted witli its
workings. .....
This Is the first attempt to establish
the order on this coast. The princi
pal advantago of tho organization Is,
that it unites tho farmers, thus en
abling them to co-operate with, and
protect each otiicr. Tho institution
h yet in its infancy here, but relia
ble men nro preparing to canvass the
State and country, and we expect
before fall to seethe farmers of tho
entire Willamette valley united In
similar societies all united under
one general hoad for mutual protec
tion nnd tho advancement of agricul
ture. Any Inquiries respecting the Or
der will bo cheerfully answered by
addressing tho Secretary of tho
Grange, Win. G. Welch, or any far
mer In this vicinity.
Very respectfully,
II. E. Cii.VMnr.nLiN.

En. Faumuu: I nm a constant
reader oryour valuable paper, I say
raluattle, for I consider It valuablo In
the most emphatic senso of tho wonl
as a medium through which farm
ers who are so scattered, can And out
what each other aro doing, and what
they ought to do, and how to do
what Is necessary to bo done. It
reins to ino that tho reports of tho
Farmers' Clubs are calculated to do a
L'reat deal of good, especially among
that class of farmers who aro so situ
ated they cannot attend those meet
iiiK. And right hero I would ray,
Farmers, organlzo clubs in, every
neighborhood, and discuss all thoso
subjects that nro of such vital Import
ance to tho farmer, until wo as a class
lieeomomoro wide nwake to our In
terests and bo nblo to act more In
unison, so as to coinlwt successfully
tho monopolies and rings that so op
press tho formers, especially, let them
become awnko upon the great, im
portant question of storing their
own grain In their own granaries
and warehouses, and ln their own
vacks and under their own control,
where they can manage It as best
suits tholr Interest and not tho In
terests of dealers. And now, -Ur.
Editor, the eourso or tho W'MamtHe
Parnur ought to Insure it a hearty
support from every farmer, who
should b a subscriber, awl as far as
practicable a contributor to its col
umns, making it truly tho tonuor'
