Lecturers and Deputies, on re-
ceiving their Commission, are ex.
pected to at once enter upon the
active discharge of duty, to visit
the Subordinate Oranges within
their County or District as rapidly
as possible, giving proper notice.
The District Lecturer should give
ample notice to the County Depu-
ties of the time of their intended
visit and number of days for the
County. Upon such notice the
County Deputy should proceed
without delay to arrange for the
number of days allotted to their
County. in the most favored local.
ties for the Order and farmers, seeing
that proper notice is given to get a
full attendance, notifying the Dis
trict Lecturer of the place and the
hour. There should be hearty CO.
operation by and between all con-
cerned. County and District Lee
turers should be well posted in the
private lectures and give them
when opportunity offers; examine
the record of the Grange visited to
see if they are promptly kept; to set
forth in detail the great necessity OF
the farmers building up their organ
ization, and the great advantages OF
the Grange to any community Of
farmers when its principles and
purposes are understood and carried
out, socially, morally, educationally,
and financially, and as our only
hope from eternal serfdom that
awaits us at an early day; to fully
explain in detail the true plan of CO.
operation, and the difference be-
tween co operation and the Joint
stockism; to insist on the Patrons
patronizing the former and avoin-
ing the latter, to discountenance the
credit system and mortgage system.
1t is the special duty Of the Coun-
tv deputies to visit the membership
Of the dormant Oranges in their
counties, and use all proper means
to induce them to reorganize, and
where they fail and desire to surren-
der their charter, the Deputy should
take possession of all the property
belonging to the Grange, and for,
ward the charter to the Master OF
the State Grange together with a
list of all other property, the Dep,
uty retaining this property, subject
to the Order of the State Grange OIL
Master.
At the organization or reorgani,
cation of Grange, the Deputy
should be very careful to see that
