National Grange Passes 
Many Resolutions 
T HE National Grange, which has been 
in session in Atlantic City, N. J., 
closed its convention on Friday, Novem¬ 
ber 21. Inasmuch as there was no elec¬ 
tion of Master this year, the primary 
offices stayed the same. The only elec¬ 
tion coming at this time was that of the 
member of the Executive Committee. 
A. S. Goss of the State of Washington 
was elected as executive member of the 
National Grange to take the place of 
W. T. Thompson of Maine. This office 
is for a duration of three years. Mr. Goss 
is being recommended by the American 
Farm Bureau Federation for Secretary of 
Agriculture in the new Cabinet which 
President Coolidge will form after the 
inauguration on March 4th. The only 
other election was of C. Palmer Chapman 
to the Board of Managers of the National 
Grange Monthly to succeed Dr. C. T. 
Atkeson of Washington. 
Many Resolutions Passed 
A number of resolutions were passed by 
the convention dealing with the foremost 
agricultural problems of the day. The 
Grange cable out in strong opposition to 
Daylight Saving and passed a resolution 
to that effect with the addition that it will 
seek uniform return to standard time in 
every State and municipality. Another 
resolution was passed opposing national 
or State financial aid for reclamation, 
irrigation or colonization of land until 
the need for greater agricultural acreage 
in the country is apparent. The Grange 
opposes propaganda and excessive print¬ 
ing expenditures by Federal departments 
which clutter up the mails with duplicate 
and needless publicity material from 
Washington. A resolution was passed 
to this effect. 
Against Income Tax Reduction 
Any reduction in income tax program, 
either State or national, was strongly 
opposed in a resolution on the tax 
question. Along the same line, a resolu¬ 
tion was passed opposing any reduction 
in present tariff rates on dairy products. 
Other resolutions included the endorse¬ 
ment of the construction of the Great 
Lakes—St. Lawrence Waterway; the 
endorsement of high export tariff or 
embargo on logs and unfinished lumber; 
the completion and operation of Muscle 
Shoals or the immediate lease of that 
property on the most favorable terms 
that will guarantee fertilizer production 
at cost; the endorsement of a Federal 
public service commission, as provided 
in the Norris Kellar Public Super-Power 
bill; the reorganization of the postal 
service and the adjustment of salaries 
and administrations to increase postal 
efficiency; recommends the supervision 
of moving picture films and the barring of 
objectionable features. 
For Extension of T. B. Eradication 
Bovine tuberculosis came in for much 
consideration and a resolution was passed 
recommending the increase of Federal 
and State appropriations for the reduc¬ 
tion of this disease. The same resolution 
carried the recommendation that appro¬ 
priations also be made for checking the 
spread of the European corn borer. 
Furthermore, the Grange went on record 
as supporting a constructive program for 
national cooperative marketing and the 
support of such bills before Congress this 
winter as shall be found most practical. 
The Grange strongly opposes any shifting 
of any bureaus or departments from the 
National Department of Agriculture to 
the Department of Commerce and is also 
opposed to the creation of any new de¬ 
partments at Washington. These reso¬ 
lutions will be dealt with editorially in 
next week’s issue of American Agri¬ 
culturist. 
It was voted to hold the 1925 conven¬ 
tion of the National Grange at Sacra¬ 
mento, Calif. 
The convention was temporarily inter¬ 
rupted by a $500,000 fire which destroyed 
the Hotel Bothwell and several hostelries 
where Grange imembers were staying. 
Has Used His Louden Manure 
Carrier for 22 Years 
I installed a Louden Manure 
Carrier in 1902 and it has been In 
constant use every day since. I 
consider it one of the best invest¬ 
ments 1 ever made and I would 
not be without it.

Why Pay For These Carriers 
And Not Have Them? 
If any man will figure it out, he will find that it actually costs 
more in time and labor not to have a Louden Manure Carrier 
and a Louden Feed Carrier in his barn than it does to have them. 
That’s the verdict of people that use them. In labor saved they 
will pay for themselves almost before the new is worn off. 
The Manure Carrier takes out 12 bushels at a trip and cuts 
short a nasty job. The Feed Carrier takes 16 bushels of grain or 
silage at a load. These Carriers save hours of time and miles of 
walking. 
Easily Installed In Any Barn 
No locks or levers- to break and let the loaded box or tub crash 
to the floor. Smooth running and easy lifting. The best built, 
easiest operated and longest lasting Carriers made. Can be 
easily installed in old or new barns. 
You’re paying for these Louden Carriers whether you have 
them or not. Why not put them in and get the benefit of them? 
The time when you need them most is at hand—winter is just 
ahead. See or write your nearest dealer today for prices and

MORE MILK 
and Bigger Profits 
Fully 90% of all dairy rations are lacking in bulk and succu¬ 
lence, say authorities. Bulky feeds, mixed with concentrates, 
aid digestion. They also keep the bowel9 open. 
Make DRIED BEET PULP 
A part of your dairy ration 
This succulent vegetable feed gives bulk in a remarkably 
palatable and healthful form. It is laxative, easily digested 
and rich in carbohydrates. It is a wonderful milk producer, 
promotes health and increases profits. You can use Dried 
Beet Pulp with corn silage or to replace it.

Holstein Bull 
We have several exceptionally well- 
bred registered Holstein bull calves that 
we offer for sale on the installment plan. 
Here is your opportunity to break into 
the purebred game without an immedi¬ 
ate heavy outlay of cash. This should 
appeal to the average farmer who 
wants to boost the average production 
of his herd without having it cost him 
too much money right on the jump. 
A Double Descendant of 
“OLD DUTCH” 
One of these offerings traces back, both 
on his sire’s and his dam’s side, to Dutch- 
land Colantha Sir Inka, “Old Dutch,” 
the greatest proven transmitting son of 
Colantha Johanna Lad, the famous 
“milk” sire. The calf’s sire is a grandson 
and his dam is an own daughter, of 
Dutch-milk blood on" both sides of the 
family. Dutch has 95 A.R.O. daughters, 
16 having 7-day records of 30 pounds of 
butter or better, two are in the 1000- 
pound class. The calf’s sire has 22 
A.R.O. daughters with records up to 
29.83 pounds butter in 7 days, and is the 
son of a 30-pound cow. This well-bred 
individual can be bought “on time.”
