committee from each grange to take
preliminary steps toward the estab
lishment of an experiment station in
south Jersey, as the soil and climate
of the location of the present experi

a very creditable showing of grange

each puts a dormant grange again in
line. Michigan leads the procession
with 47 new granges and."> reorganiz
ed. Ohio and Maryland each add 22,
and West Virginia reorganizes 11.
New York gains Hi granges and Penn
sylvania 17. New granges in Oregon,
Washington, Colorado, Kentucky and
South Carolina indicate that grange
territory is extending and will soon in
clude every state in the Union.

president and to the state senators
protesting against the use of this
counterfeit butter at the League Island
