several members. Markham Baker
discussed the topic using grange co
operative buying as a greatest need.
Jack Bailey wrote on rural youth
and its needs while Geneva Palmer
used the thought of entertainment
through the lecture hour. The topic
was assigned by National Lecturer

Move to Rented
Farms Each Year
Although Oregon is below the av
erage in percentage of tenants in
comparison to farm ownership, ap
proximately 28 per cent of all the
farm families in the state rent the
land they work, and more than a
third of these move each year. This
and much more information on the
subject of farm tenure improvement
is contained in a report issued by
the United States department of ag
riculture and submitted to each state
extension service and other agencies
concerned with this problem.
The Oregon State college exten
sion .service is cooperating in the
improvement of farm tenure. J. R.
Beck, rural service specialist, has
recently distributed copies of im
proved lease forms to all county
agents' of fices, , where they may be
obtained for use in connection with
pointed by State Master Gill as a
member of the state home econom
ics committee. Congratulations, Vi
da Heliker. Among the first duties
of Mrs. Heliker will be the judging
of a canning contest sponsored by
the state committee. This will take
Mrs. Heliker to Malheur county.
Later in the week she will go to
Cannon Beach for conference work.
A booster night program has been
prepared by Willows grange for
Monday evening, Sept. 30. Besides
the program there will be several in
teresting exhibits including flowers,
canned goods and needle work, also
a display of Bonneville materials. A
cooked food sale will be held by the
ladies of the club. The public is
extended a cordial invitation to at
tend this fall get-together. Bring a
friend with you. Time 8 p. m.
The next regular grange meeting
will be held on October 19 on which
date the home economics club will
present their annual program during
the lecture hour.

the usual fall moving period.
In the United States as a whole
42 per cent of all farmers are ten
ants or share croppers, and nearly
half of the total farm land in this
country is operated under lease. In
Oregon approximately 14,700 farm
families are renters, and an average
of 36 per cent of these, or 5300, mov
ed in one year. Thus, at the time
the study was made, close to 10 per
cent of the farm families in the state
moved to a new place.
This rapid change in tenants is
highly expensive, both to the renters
and the landlords, according to this
study made by the USDA. The ave
rage cost to tenants is estimated at
around $75 per move, with the cost
to the landlords being about the
same. The leasing arrangements
which prevail throughout much of
the country are not conducive to
effective conservation and do not
encourage tenants to make improve
ment or to develop the most profit
able types of farming for themselves
and for the land owners.
The improved lease forms distri
buted to county agents here in Ore
gon are not considered a solution to

They are simple in form and are de
