HASKIN Washington, D. Sept. The National Grange, the pioneer farm organization of the United States, is Increasing its activities in an interesting manned. This body rises to prominence whenever any emergency faces the farming community. Existing low prices of the' products of the farm constitute such an emergency.

In addition to bringing proposals for betterment of farmers' conditions to the attention of congress, the Grange Is increasing its activities in the direction of organization and education!" One of the most striking things which has been done is the organization of State Grange motor tours. The various state granges are affiliated with the national body just as the state -governments have a general relation La the federal government. There recently came to Washington a caravan of over a -hundred automobiles filled with about 400 farm-' ers. Descending one afternoon on the national capital, th's caravan encamped cn the broad spaces of parkland in Iotomac park, a little south of the 'Washington monument and the Lincoln memorial. It was the largest automobile caravan that ever had arrived litre in a body with the exception of the visitors and delegates to the Shriners convention last June.

The caravan was made up entirely of the Michigan Grange. It repere-sented a part of the efforts of the state grange organization to get the farmers together. Ta be sure, the trip, was a pleasure trip in large part, but it also served to show the Michigan fanners a 'large section of the country and to, give them an opportunity to gather much valuable information. At various cities en route to Washington they camped and held meetings, being addressed by leaders of the various communities. Washington was their meeca and they received a cordial reception.

While encamped in Potomac park they held what was called campfire meetings. Each evening, during their' stay, they lit campfires at dusk and spent the evening In discussing among themselves and In hearing discussed by others the outstanding problems of the farmer. Addressed by Officials Secretary of Agriculture Wallace stood before the Michigan grangers in the flickering light of their Area and told them all he could about the work the Department of Agriculture is doing to Improve the position of the American farmer. Other officials of the department specialists i in grain, livestock and all other branches also addressed them and gave them a world of interesting and valuable Information about their problems. Not only was farming discussed from the purely horticultural point of view, but farm credits, grain storage, warehousing, insect pests, experimentation and many other subjects of scientific and practical Interest were fully explored and Illuminated by experts and practical men.

Doubtless the Michigan grangers got more information from Washington officials who talked to them than from others, but in various places along the line of their trip, they found state and county officials and agricultural experts to talk to them. In the ancient. days of Greece there was established a pertpetetic school. The pupils strolled about the groves of Atticas-hflla listening to the discourses of learned men and imbibing learning. The granges -constitute a pertpetetic school on larger scale.

They proceed about the country, in -automobiles, bearing, at each evenings camping place, the most interesting things that the community has to offer. Next year It is. planned to have the National Grange conduct such a tour. Delegations from the various state granges are expected to join the automobile caravan. The campfires will he like those of an army and more farmers than ever before will ho brought into contact with what the outside world is doing in their industry.

The National Grange tour doubtless will be planned along the lines successfully laid down by Michigan Grange; The Michigan caravan proceeded under a duly chosen leader who maintained a organization. The route of travel was carefully mapped out in advance and arrangements were made for the successive campsites. Guarded by State Police -The state of Michigan this year sent along a couple of motor cycle police to assist the caravan In every possible way, protect it on the highways and insure order In the ranks. The procession of over a hundred automobiles moved across the country in excellent orJemd the camps were laid out r'-ta' expert attention given to considerations of convenience. sanitation and accessibility.

How -far this movement will go it Is ifn possible to predict. It seems entirely'Yhkely that the granges will organize their members so that every year will see caravans from various states making trips across the country, learning what other sections are doing and knitting the whole farming community into a closer body. The National Grange was organized in 1866 by O. H. Kelly.

Mr. Kelly was an official of the Department of Agriculture who was sent out to report oa agricultural conditions In th'e south and to recommend measures for their improvement. He found farm conditions had and the farmers hopelessly disorganized. In 1867 he with six others organized the National Grange of Patrons of Husbandry as the best means of getting community action -by the farmers and showing them how co-operative effort would Improve their situation. The move was eminently successful and in a short while the grange movement had spread to every state.

Both men and women were admitted from the start and in one sense the National Grange may be regarded as the first national organization which granted women -uffrage, for It permitted women to Join iir its deliberations and to hold grange offices. There are four degredb 'in each state grange and two In the national body; By 1874, 10,009 granges had been organized in the various i states and 'In 1875 the membe-rehi I was 1,500,000.

Confidence Marks General Business Hesitation Regarding Fall Requirements Disappearing As Season Advances. New York, Sept. 14.

Duns Review, in its current summary of general business conditions, reports, in part, ns follows: Despite continued irregularities 1 depaand and prices, increased confidence marks the general business situation. Various drawbacks and uncertslntJes still prevail, yet there less hesitation and operations are broadening in response to autumn reuqlrements. The fact that some basic lines do not show expected seasonal gains serves to qualify tne improvement in other quarters, but encouraging reports predominate and there is more of a disposition to stress the favorable While the feverish activity of the early months of the' year now lacking, existing conditions are the more stable because of the check to inaflt ionary movements and the adoption of a more conservative policy. Notwithstanding the recent sharp rise la price of certain oom-mndltes, the present average- is he-'nw the high point reached dnriug the first quarter, when urgent buying to replenish depleted supplies of goods led to speculative tendencies in different instances. The subsequent abatement of demand, although followed by curtailment of manufacture.

was a wholesome development, and the absence of burdensome a o-eumuiatlons of merchandise in most channels now is a reassuring phase. With, the adjustment ot the naaJ strike and the large employment of labor in other industries, a continued heavy consumption of goods is foreshadowed, and latest returns of car loadings show an unprecedented distribution. The unsettlement abroad still Imposes restraint on domestic business, hut even in the export field some signs of recovery have appeared.
