Cheaper Lime ' For our Lanci There is to be an important meeting hold at Corvallis, Ore Ron, on Saturday, October 7, at 10 o'clock, in which every farm er in the Willamette Valley is vitally interested. It is the Lime Convention, called by State Grange Master Spence and rep resentatives of the Grange, Farm ers' Union, Equity Societies and tax payers, for the purpose of organizing the farmers of the Willamette Valley looking toward the best means of procedure to procure lime at a price within the reach of farmers. That there is a great need for lime on most soils in the Willamette Valley is beyond dispute. The only diffi culty has been the price asked by dealers. There is an abun dance of lime tributary to the valley that can be obtained if legislative action is taken. This meeting promises to be one of the most important held for many years in the valley. All farmers should consider them selves invited to attend. Make it a point to be at the meeting in the courthouse at Corvallis on October 7, next A Good Time to Start Work To the boys and girls of Polk county who helped win the Blue ribbon again for our county!
