Address 10 Deputies ana Masters

The dusct and positive obi ct of tho oder
is the elevation and benefit Of farmers. The
ruling principle then should DO that farmers
should do the work none but farmers. their
wives sons and daughters should bg permitted
TO organize a Grange. Those who own
farm or farms, and their greater interest j.
some other pursuits are not proper persons tC
be admitted in Grange. 1t is more dticul
10 expel one who is not EMU led 10 tho bsHe
fits of our order, than ii is to keep him out
Our order is q permanent onc-not called into
existence for q temporary purpose but is to
endure for the perpetual good OF agriculturist'
aud anght to be as lasting as the VENTS 1t is
ihtenlsd to supply, and the evils it is desired
to correct Hence, in organizing GLOW none
to become members but good, respectable
formers.
The fee for charter members is three dollars
for males sni fifty cents for ftma'e'. A fte
d'spensaion is granted the fee for admission vi
members is five dollars for males and two do-
lsrs for females. Uniformity in the rule must
be observed. Evasion by anv dey ice works
mischief and cannot he o'lowed. Amy Grange
violating this rule wi, forfeit its ca irter.
Do not encourage too rapid growth ia subor.
dinate Oranges, bat, Tecollect that small
Grange composed OF good, intelligent, consid-
crate and well-thinkiug farmers, may be more
importrnt to the order aud tie farming inter-
est than a large Grenge of discordlnt O..
ments with but little intelligence, character
or consideration.
In organizing now Grange, deputies should
see that the right and proper respec: is paid
already to established Oranges No person
shonld be received as charter member WHO
resides nearer another Grange. or who has
been rejected by Grange.
The officers elected will hold their office

Grange and their successors are installed.
Deputies will. obtain blanks A. and d. from
o. II. Kelley, Secretary National Grange,
Washington City, D. G.
No constitutional limit has been fixed as 10
the territorial jurisdiction of a Grange. Del
uties will see that proper regard Is paid 10
organized Oranges in this respect.
Deputies organizing Grange will invari-
ably send duplicate Of application to Secre-
tlry OF state Grange. Deputies should inform
themselves thoroughly in the unwritteA work,
and see that uniformity of work is had
throughout the State. The constant and urgent
demand from every quarter OF the State for
organization has induced me TO appoint depu-
ties for the State. Those deputies win go
from county to county, organizing one or two
Oranges, in each county and qualifying al d
recommending suitable persons in different
10 alities for deputies.
The only work of the State Grange being at
present organic alton, the utmost caution and
circumspection should be preserved in the
work. Let US have united effort of the
farming population TO remedy the many evils
they have suffered, and tighten the burdens
they have borne, but let there be no war with
any other class Of our people, no attack upon
any other industry animated with the desire
to doJthe greatest good to the greatest mum.
Der, let us improve our own interest, thereby
adding to the general prosperity. Let such
reforms as prudence and eound judgment may
suggest, be discussed without acrimony, with
out pre- judice to any other trace, profession,
or other branch of business. Be careful tina,
the order IN no respect be made subseryient to
the political aims and ambition of party aspir-
ants. We are at work to improve The farming
interest by cultvating and improving the misd
and uniting tho efforts OF farmers, both IN
Bro1rcing and selling crops. And any effort
to divert tho order 10 any other purpose is
peryersion of its object, and should meet the
just condemnation OF every good Patron.

oyerseer and Acting Master State Grange.
