A well organized and progressive Pomona grange In any grange county If sufficient membership la conducive to lueuus of enlarging the acope aud usefulness of the subordluute granges, as It advances a step higher and la recognized by the state grunge as au thority on all matters of grange Inter est. The Pomona grange, says lion. E. B. ; Norris In the New England H om e , stead, should be officered by Hie bright est and most sterling Patrons in their ! respective counties, and all subordl- t nnte members should become Pomona members. At each quarterly meeting concise reports should be given from every subordinate grange in the coun ty, stating the number of members add- , til during the quarter, etc. Thus tne condition of each subordinate grange could be reached In every county in the state. The legislative feature can be made more effective, ns whatever action is taken In the Pomona must necessarily be from the delegated body of the subordinate grange, and there- i fore it voices the membership through out the county. The press has done much to enhance the usefulness of the grange. Every subordinate grange should elect a cor- | respondent to send items from their grange to the press every week or at ! least every month. Publicity of grange I work and its advancement would thus j bo encouraged. Editors of grange col j umns In our agricultural and local pa pers are glad to receive short articles relative to the grange from all parts °* tbe " e urge upon our sub ordinate and Pomona granges the ne- : çessity of establishing direct news cor- respondence with all our lending agri- cultural journals, to the end that tna- terlal assistance may be extended to all lines of work that tend to elevate American people to a better under standing of all the duties that devolve upoi them to advance und maintain a nobler citizenship.
