State Master George W. F. Gaunt of
New Jersey says:"The past year Las
lieen the banner year in grange work
iu the Garden State. Sixteen new sub
ordinate granges have beeu organtaed
and two Potuonas, making 118 sub
ordinate and fourteen Pomona granges.
Nearly 3,000 new members have beeu
added to our membership, making a
grand total of 15,000. Our Grange
Fire Insurance company has beeu stead
ily growing, giving safe protection to
our patrons. We have nearly $18,000,-
000 worth of property Insured. For a
number of years subordinate and Po
mona granges have been co-operating
In the purchase of farm supplies at a
great saving. This has been, however,
of a local character. The Grange Com
mercial Exchange has been receutly In
corporated with a capital stock of
$125,000, which it Is expected will be
very helpful to the members of the
grange."
G. W. Pelrce, state master of the Ver
mont grange, reports thirty new sub
ordinates and one Pomona organized
the past year, adding 2,000 members.
Questions were freely discussed, and
education was the watchword. Agri
culture and nature studies were being
introduced into the common schools.
The grange stood for better roads, bet
ter methods and better everything. He
will not be satisfied until there are as
many granges in Vermont as there are
towns.
C. I). Richardson, state master In
Massachusetts, says a great growth is
going on with enduring results. The
problem of child education was engag
ing the attention of Patrons In Massa
chusetts. Growth of membership was
of little consequence unless every one
had some definite object. The grunge
is \\ inning its way to the front.
The exemplification of the ritualistic
work was never better than this year.
The first degree was exemplified by
New Britain (Conn.) grange officers,
the second by a Cheshire (Conn.) team,
the third by a ladies' degree team from
Keene, N. II.; the fourth by a ladies'
degree team from North Brookfield,
Mass. The fifth degree was beautiful
ly presented by u Central Pomona de
gree team of Connecticut and the sixth
by the officers of the Connecticut state
grange. This work, particularly iu the
lower degrees, cannot fail to be an In
spiration to all who witnessed it, and
through them the various subordinate
granges here represented will be In
cited to improvement in this very im
portant phase of grange work.
Governor Woodruff of Connecticut
gave an informal reception to the na
tional grange and visiting delegates
just at the close of one morning's ses
sion. In the receiving line were Gov
ernor and Mrs. Woodruff. ex-Governor
and Mrs. C. J. Hell of Vermont and ex-
Co vcrnor and Mrs. N. J. Bachelder M
New Hampshire. Several hundred
visiting l'atrons took occasion to pay
their respects to the chief executive ou
this occasion. Governor Woodruff is
a recent member of the grange.
Potato Growing Contest.
A novel grange contest took place at
North Augusta. Me., this fall iu pota
to raising between the brothers and
the sisters. Each one had been pre
viously required to plant five hills of
potatoes, care for them and dig them.
The losing side was to furnish the
supper. On Oct. 5 each one carried
the potatoes raised to the grange,
where they were weighed. The broth
ers won by the small margin of five
and one half pounds. The largest crop
raised was twenty two pounds by Ever
ett Wither. .1 W. D ARROW.

New York stands at the front among
grange states. State Master F. N.
Godfrey reports the membership at
about 75,000. There are 059 subordi
nate granges, thirty-eight having been
added the past year. The Patrons'
tire insurance associations are strong
factors in a financial sense. They rep
resent nearly $100,000,000 of risks.
There are 172 grange halls owned In
the state, the total value fjping re
ported at $343,076. Much ffks been
done by the state grange in legislation !
benefiting rural conditions.
State Lecturer Thompson is one of \
Maine's enthusiastic grangers. He
says there are over 400 granges in the
1 state, and over 800 of them own their j
• own grange halls, which range In value
from $2,00i) to SO,OOO or more. A
! grange of 200 members is almost cer
-1 tain to have its own hall, and this
gives a permanence to the grange
movement that is unquestionable. The
grange membership has lucreased from
20,000 to 54,000 in twelve years. The
largest grange iu the state and per
haps in the United States is Houlton
grange, with 900 members. It lias a
grange store, which did a business of
$ 100,000 last year, and there are half
a dozen more younger stores In the
state.
