Oregon state Grange.

The Bulletins special report of
the annual meeting of the Oregon
State Grange, held the last Of May,
has come to hand.
The session was we'll attended by
the delegates from all parts of the
country, and all its proceeding S
were harmonious. The condition
of the Order shows improvements
and more interest generally felt. A
number of dormant Oranges have
revived and there is every reason to
anticipate renewed growth and pro-
gress and increased influence. The
benefits Of CO. operation, well conduc-
ted, were satisfactorily demonstrated
and the social features are produc-
ing constantly good effects in max
ing communities happier, and CIV
ing neighbors many pleasant advan-
tages not before enjoyed. The finan-
cial position of the State Grange has
been embarrassed for years past
on account of business undertaken
in the name of the Order, but the f.
nancial report of the present session
is evidence of an improved condi-
ton, and measures have been taken
for entirely removing the old debt
attending the State Grange agency
partly accomplished by the liberality
of the members.
The condition of the Order may
be considered as good, showing in
creased membership, and will soon
be free Of debt. There is a pros
pect that steps will be taken to in
troduce the system of mutual insu-
rance in due time. A committee of
competent men is appointed to con-
slider propose measures for the con-
consideration of the nextLegislature.
A reception was held in Salem on
one of the evenings, at which Bro.
Daniel Clark, Past Master of the
State Grange, delivered the opening
address, which was responded to
by Sister &. E. Shipley, wife of
Bro. Shiyley, Master of the State
Grange, on behalf of the sisters.
This able reply will appear in the
Bulletin. A very pleasant feature
of the open reception was the part
taken by the children in the exer
cises. These little ones sang "The
hand that holds the bread" two of
whom Ottie and Lulu, are daughters
of Bro. and Sister Daniel Clark.
The degree of Pomona was con-
ferred upon lage class, and the
ceremonies attending it were very
imposing.
Bro R. P. Boise is the newly cleo
ted Master of the State Grange, and
one of the prominent citizens OF
Oregon, is spoken of as conservative
but earnest in favor of all possible
progress in the way of cooperation
He is earnestly interested in the sue
cess of the Order because he be
lieves it is the only medium by
which farmers can organize for ju
dicious work and self-protection
and under his leadership the Orde
will no doubt make decided pro
gress.
Bro. A. r. Shipley, Past Master
was elected Lecturer, and Bro. Dan
lie Clark member of the Executive
Committee. Oregon in common
. with all other State Oranges start
out full of hopes and brighter pros

The SDeciaI Assessment,

At the Brownville Session, a
SPECIAL assessment of 9 cents per
member was levied, as a temporary
tax, to pay the liabilities of the State
Grangej on per diem and mileage
account of representatives to the
State Grange. This special assess
ment of &C., with the regular dues
of 6 cents, makes IS cents per quar-
ter for each member, which is one
half only of the minimum amount
of dues each member is required to
pay into the Treasury of the Subor-
dinate Grange In view of the fact
that for several years, debts incurred
by the State Grange to pay repre-
sentatives to the annual session,
have exceeded the receipts from
quarterly dues, the State Grange
had no alternative but to levy a
special assessment 7Vhich 7ViH be
discontinued so soon as the debts
of the State Grange are paid off.
AS the current expenses of the
State Grange, for salaries, postage,
stationery, etc, are now but nom
inal, this special tax with the reg
ular dues, may realize sufficient
amount within the next II months,
of which due notice will be given.

A copy of this number of THE
fATRoN OF HUsBANDRY is mailed
to the Secretary of each working
orange IN Tennessee, not for his
individual use solely, but that he
may hand it to the Lecturer or Mas
ter OF his Grange to be read in open
meeting SO soon as the Grange con
venes..
The progress of the Order in
iennessee will be noted from time
TO time in this paper, and when off
cial communications are inserted, a
copy will be mailed free to each
Subordinate Grange in the State.
Each Grange is urged to subscribe
for at least one copy, that the Order
may not miss a number.
AS complaints are occasionally
made that the paper is not received
by our Secretaries, it is requested
that all who do receive the paper
shall notify the Secretary of the
State Grange of the fact, adding
also whether it has been read to the
Subordinate Grange.

The Yellow Corn.
BY GEO. M'KNf6HT.
A GRANGE SONG-Afy, Lang Syne

A GRANGE SONG-Afy, Lang Syne
When spring has melted winters SHOWS,
And flowers the fields adcrn,
With cheerful song the farmer goes
To plant the yellow corn.
And when his heavy crops are ripe
He fills his spacious barn,
He drinks his eide smoke his pipe,
And eats the yellow corn.
His boys are hearty, stout and bright,
And merry as the morn;
They pile the blazing fire at night,
And pop the yellow corn.
His daughter, fresh as Eden's bloom,
While smiles her cheeks adorn,
She milks the COW and plies the loom,
And cooks the yellow corn.
The farmer is gen'rous friend
TO tn needy and forlorn;
When haggard want aff1icts the land,
He gives the yellow corn.
And when. at last, old age has come,
When weary, weak and worn,
In peace he then is gathered home,
Just like the yellow corn.

reorganization of DOrman
Oranges.

The State Grange at its Brown
vile session voted that the members
of any dormant Grange could reor
ganize without the payment of back
dues. This applies only to Oranges
that had been dormant during the
whole of 1879 and previously. In
case, however, a dormant Grange is
recognized by the efforts of an
officer of the State Grange or by a
District Deputy duly commissioned,
the case is different. Under such cir
cumstances, the reorganized Grange
must pay to the officiating officer
or Deputy the sum of one dollar for
each male and fifty cents for each
female enrolled. This payment
squares the contributing members
upon the books of the Subordinate
Grange, and releases the Subor-
dinate Grange from its back dues to
the State Grange.

The following tabular statement
which is based upon actual expert
ence and is far below the success of
many cooperative stores in this
country, will show the advantages of
Patrons having their own stores and
buying from themselves. The calcu-
latioa is made for IL years, beginning
with an investment of $40, allowing
10 per cent interest per annum, pur-
chases to the amount of. 500 annu-
ally, 10 per cent net profit on sales,
and 20 per cent accumulation:

The Common school system.

The State Grange adopted res
olution entreating the farmers of the
State to examine our present school
law, and agitate the question OF its
amendment so that it may be made
effective and secure schooling for
our children for ten months in each
wear. This is a move in the interest
of the parent and pupil.

Meeting of Executive Com miftee
OF the Tennessee State Grange.

A meeting of the Executive Com
mitteee was held in the city of
Nashville, June s, 1850, DR.. T. B.
Harwell presiding and Isaac Litton
acting as Secretary
The Secretary of the State Grange
submitted the following report:
IoMe Executive Committee. | beg
leave to report that the correspond
ence of this office, since the adjourn
ment Of the State Grange, indicates
revival of interest in the Grange
and a general desire for its NAM
tainance throughout the State.
Time has developed what argument
seems to have failed to accomplish,
and the people are now to a con-
siderable extent beginning to realize
that the principles of the Grange
are correct in theory and should be
put in practical operation. Rail
road determinations, the corrupting
influence of capital when used for
speculative or political purposes,
and the com animation of other voca
tons for the purpose of robbing the
farmer of his just profits in the sale
of his products has become so glar
ingly apparent as to again demand
organized resistance. To enter the
field once more requires, on our
part, reorganization and proper
equipment of the Order. 70 do
this, the State Grange has provided
for the appointment of District
Deputies, who are expected to min
gle with the members of dormant
Oranges and appeal to each one
personally to aid in the resuscitation
of the Oranges. In accordance with
that action the following have been
appointed

The Cotton Worm.

Prof. Riley, of the United States Eu-
tom ologica Commission, calculates,
upon the b sis of statistics covering f.
teen years, thar the money losses which
the cotton worm II fl cts upon the peot lie
of the s nth amount 10 about $50. 600, =
600 in years OF general pre- vslence of
the worm, or an average of $12, 934 =
500 for each " ar since the wa. From
this it will be seen that the aggregate
loss 10 the cotton producers of the
South for the last fl teen years closely
approximstes $500, 600, 900, an amount
which would have enabled State and
municipal governments to meet their
obligations, prevented many individual
bankruptcies, and brought the CONNER
cisl and agricultural in; erests of the
cotton States to much higher position
than they have attained. At it's last
meeting the National Cotton Exchange
appointed a committee to memorialize
Congress to raise Committee who will
devise certain, safe and inexpensive
