Plans are well under way for the annual session of the Massachusetts itate grange, which Is to be held this year In Worcester on Dec. 13. 14 and 15. It is expected to be the largest session ever held by the Order In that state, and plans are being made ac cordingly. For the big meeting of Wednesday evening, when the sixth degree Is conferred, Mechanics' hall has been engaged. Worcester Is such a center for the entire state and Is as easily reached from scores of granges that It Is believed that the big hall can be easily filled, so long as Patrons know there will be plenty of room for them If they do come. This Wednes day night meeting promises to be a memorable one for Its enthusiasm and power. . The appointment of George W. Trull rf Tewksbury as a member of the Massachusetts dairy bureau for a term of three years after serving for the balance of three months of an unex pired term Is recognition to a well known member of fhe grange. Mr. Trull Is a past master of the Tewks bury grange. At the present time Mr. Trull Is serving as a member of the pecial commission tnat is to repun to the next legislature a bill solving the problem of milk Inspection in Mas sachusetts, the present system having met with much criticism from the farmers. Frml F. Walker, master of Woburn grange, has been named by Governor Draper to be the new head of the state cattle commission, succeeding Dr. Aus tin Peters, who has long held tnat po alrlnn. Mr. Walker Is one of the most successful dairy farmers In Massachu setts, a member or tne legislature m 1909 and an enthusiastic Patron of Husbandry. Pennsylvania Patrone.

Would a Central Organization Under Direction of the State Grange Execu tive Committee to Aid In Co-operative Trade Among Farmer Ba Ad vantageous and Practicable? Opinion of New York' State Master. Your proposition of establishing through and under the direction of the executive committee of the state grange a bureau of farm labor and co-operative trade Is, I believe, feasible and can be made a prac tical and valuable adjunct to the Order In this state If the right kind of man could be placed at the head of It. I have tnought for a long time that a man op erating such an office conscientiously in the interest of the grange and its mem bers could carry on a successful business and on a very small percentage make it profitable to himself and the Order. In conducting such an office tjie manager should be in close touch with every grange In the state and should have such relations with manufacturing concerns and the outlets for farm products as to readily be able to dispose of them In the best markets. He should have trade re lations with the manufacturers of by- Ooo H. J. BACHBLDEB, OONCOBD, N. H, Master of the national gftnge. ! , . , F - 4 -h. y , , c OLIVER WIIiSON, PEORIA, Ilifj.

I believe that such an office might be of great value In upplylng farmers with the extra labor required on the farm through the busy season" and might be the means of the equal distribution of the more efficient foreign labor coming to our shores. F. N. GODFREY. From Lecturer New York Stat Grange I am heartily In favor of a labor and trade bureau. Perhaps I ought to atop right here, for to say one is in favor of a plan 1 easy, but to outline a success ful plan Is an entirely different thing. I have no doubt of the ability of the ex ecutive committee of the state grange to carry out this line of work successfully and think the state grange at Its next Session should authorize It to start a co operative trade distributing station and farm labor bureau. I put the co-operative trade before the farm bureau, a 1 believe It to be of far greater Impor tance, because every grange can be ben efited by the former and but comparative ly few by the latter. I look forward to the time when every state grange wlil have an avenue of trade, bringing the member of the grange in one state In close touch with those of another. Some state mut start the ball rolling. Why not New York state? My plan, briefly stated, Is this: The tata arrange should be the connecting link between the subordinate grange and the wholesale trade. We have something like 26.(100 In the treasury. Of what benent Is It to any granger In the state? At least flO.000 of It should be put In a state grange corporation. This, with a compe tent man as manager, will prove, I be lieve, of untold benefit to the grange not nly In this state, out in every This Idea will surely spread, once started, mm wwow H 1 ' :ion.

Co-opera tion in the business world has been at tempted In practically all lines. Trades men have united to lessen cost of mak ing and Increase the margin of profit by lessened competition. They have planned to buy in large quantities for a line ot concerns under a common management and so secure the advantage of the most favorable terms. They have been able to get special favors by taking the office work from a number of desks and com bining It in one. The Order of Patrons of Husbandry is composed of an immense buying: constit uency, each buying by himself In a retail market and paying the highest price. He orders alone, so no gain can be his by reason of carload rates nor wholesale markets. He sells alone and must give his trade to the buyer, who can make out car lots. AH this 1b not only unneces sary, but unwise. A bureau of co-operation for trade with a department for farm labor would make possible the securing of favorable terms from wholesalers and tradesmen of all kinds. It would mini mize the expenses of the middleman and make the commercial value of the grange a feature which would add a bond to our O oO------' ' " 5 I PBOF. T. O. ATKBSON, MOBOANTOWN, W. VA.

Such a bureau should be in charge of not too many men, who should be properly com pensated from the business they care for and without expense to the state grange. It should report annually to the state grange, and it should promptly furnish prices on all the commodities usually pur chased in quantities by the various granges of the state. 8. It. STRIVINGS.
