The Tenant Farmer sud the Graage,
On the sbove subject
Friend remarks:
Tenant farmers by joining the
Grange will greatly improve their
chance = to secure good farms to till, ns
association with the Grange broadens
his knowledge of practical farm opera-
tions, and those who have farms to
rent carefully note and often inquire
as to what interest an applicant takes
in farm operations and his associations
with farmers’ organisations, as it is
evident to them that a farmer taking
in farm affairs by association with the
Grange is an evidence of his fitness to
manage and supervise sn farm.

sufficient cause to prohibit the use of
