It requires at least four subordi

When all are in the same
county it is known as a county Po
mona : when in more than one county
it is called a District Pomona. The
duty of a Pomona Grange is to pro
mote and maintain a general spirit of
fraternity enthusiasm and co-operation
among the members of the vari
ous granges of which it is composed,
It is seldom that a subordinate grange
backslides or becomes lukewarm when
a good live Pomona exists. The Po
mona meets only four times a year.
All fourth degree members in good
standing are eligible to membership
in a Pomona, and can sit in any Po
mona and take part in all discussions,
as all business is done in the fourth
degree, and is called, in the fifth or
Pomona degree only when the degree
is to be conferred.
