DARROW, Press Correspondent New York State ' _____^2^l————— | GRANGE NEWS AND NOTES. Items of Interest to Member! of tl>* Order Generally. • The grange la taking on new life In West Virginia this summer. The grange meeting at the Thousand Islands Aug. 18 was the largest of many years. Wolcott grange, New York, has over 800 members—a fair sized regiment of men and women. Think-of one county with oven thirty active granges In it! That's St Law rence county, N. Y. More new granges were organized In the t#st six months of the present year than in the entire year of 1902. Rehobeth grange hall, in Perry coun ty,- G., was. recently dedicated. Tills la one of the finest halls in the state. The' grange picnic season will soon be over for 1903. Those field meeting* haw greaily 'atrengttvened the Order. Headquarters far the national grange at Rochester November will be'at the LlTfagston hotel. Session opens NOT. iO. -ft* thirty -first annual session of this Fentiapk-anla state grange will, be 4 beW in the. city of Witkesbarre on Dec. 8 to 11, 19C&' . • ' The best' preventive of dormancy In granges-Is ta have s«jp>ething to do and keep trying to d* It, says the Grange Bulletin. Chautiluqua county, N. Y., has "a "grape and grange" day at Its comi ty fair e»eh year which is becoming quite a druwing card. Rev. Amort Boynton Storms, D. R., pastor ot the First Methodist church, Des Moines, la., has been elected presi dent of lowa Agricultural college. National Master Jones lfts "covered the country" this summer, even gotag to the Pacific coast, arousing and In tensifying Interest In grange work. The Pennsylvania state grange ren dered substantial aid 'ln securing the passage of a law for an agricultural building at the Pennsylvania.state col lege. Ohio will add 2,000 new members between April 1 and Oct., 1, says State Master Derthk'k. Ohib /Patrons have tlitilr annual reunion at (the state fair in Columbus. A New York state igrangw. has bee* ; having k a contest botweeu men and | wou»un w to ascertain Which oem produce t+ic best literary work—a very com mendable idea! It 'is estimated that- Moonestown (N. J.) gmwige has made a>savlng of SIO,OOO by purchasing fertilizers; for members. Same Individual Pntronstdatm to have effected a saving of SSOO. Since Jan. 1, 1903, there have been oriffiMwied In New York state about forty new granges with probably 1,600 members. It Is but .onej indication of what Is going on all over; the country. Atfclrowooggln county, Me., which has for wo long held the ibttnner for the largest grange In the Hrtmte, no«w yields It to Aroostook county,, aw Houston has nearly If not quite 700* members now. AH agricultural paper In Ohio offered a first prize In cash ofls2«sooi for near est estimate on total izun&terl.of lninrf grants during last fiscal year. It was won by Jesse Blackburn>of Normal, 111. The last meeting of Dutchessvcounty (N. Y.) Pomona grange nvas attended by 500 Patrons from theitwenty-'three granges of the county. '.Sixty candi dates took the fifth degreejat this!meet ing. What the Greek letter If raternity Is to the college man, says an* agricultural paper, the club to the city man, the grange is to the farmer. It ministers to his financial, spiritual, social and mental needs. Its benefits many. Importance of a Gruge illame. The grange Is in no sense a- migra tory institution, as is proved .by Its ritualistic and fixed forms of: work. No grange can hold successful- meet ings ufithln the full Intents of the Or der, says Mr. George B. Horton, un less It secures or provides for itself a fixed and regular place for holding meetings. Said place should; be such as to permit the seating and'working of the grange in full form as|provided in the ritual. If from necessity a grange is ipeetlng here and',there or In such place that the members cannot in fact *onduct a real grange the mem bers should consider tt a first and Im perative (flUy Jo the life of tho grange to sectfe or build some kind of a structure wMch the may call their grange home. This place may be ever so humble and' entirely wlthtn the limits of tfce possibilities of the mem bers to provide, but In and around It can be gathered and fixed the evi dences of permanency. Carry Ont the Proßramne. Not only has the number of granges increased more raphlly In 1003 than ever before, but many old granges re port large accessions to their member ship. This is as It should be, but thfe objects of the grange should not be lost sight of in the hour of increased numerical strength, remarks the New England Farmer. Discipline, educa tion, co-operation—these cannot be sac rificed even for numbers without loss of power and diminished influence. Not a Political Organisation. The grange Is not a political organ ization, but it Is within Its province to speak out boldly on all questions of vital importance to Its members when ever necessary to do so. The grange Is a potent factor in fashioning govern mental affairs at the present day. The grange Is growing In prestige and influence by having the sympathy ■ and support of the Intelligent, cuJtlvat-, ed and thinking people. J MANAGER WANTED.
