Grange Membership

Discussion has arisen among the
Lodges and organs Of the Patrons of
| Husbandry, in reference to the eligi-
bility of persons entitled to membership.
1t has been occasioned by the fact of the
admittance of large numbers who are not
engaged in agriculture; and who, de-
irving their support from other pursuits,
would be likely, from selfish motives, to
pervert the Order from the real objects of
its establishment The Constitution of the
Order declares that " any person inter
g ested in agricultural pursuits is entitled
g to membership. A broad construc-
ton of the language would open the
doors of the Order to persons of every
calling. Who is not interes ed in
agriculture Certainly it cannot be said
that the lawyer, the doctor, and espe
cially the middlemen, are not? All
these classes derive their support indi-
rectIy from the labor of the husbandman
and the soil which he cultivates. And
yet it cannot be supposed that it was de-
signed by the founders of the Order, nor
that it is compatible with its purposes, to
admit them to membership unless the
cultivation of the soil constitutes at least
a part Ct their occupation.
Co.man's Rural World [St. Louis in
reply to correspondent, submits the
following aLswer, which is conclusive
upon the point raised:
As apropOs to the question, we APP
pend the Following on eligibility: The
State Grange of Indiana at its late ses-
sion, defined who is eligible to member
ship in the Patrons of Husbandry in the
following resolution;
Reso'red, That it is the sense of the
delegates of the State Grange that to
render person eligible to membership in
a subordinate grange, he should rely
more upon the products Of the farm for has
income than any other occupation that
exceptions to this general rule, should be
but few.
We think this about the true terms
upon which members should be admit
ted. Then we would not see so many
men prominent in the State Grange who
know nothing of farming, and who have
no sympathy with them except to get of
fee. The reason why other industries
are so anxious to crowd in, is pure kind
ness on their part. They think farmers
are incompetent to transact it for them.
