The Delaware farm and home. (Wilmington, Del.) 1885-19??, 1886-03-11
From Fruitland Grange.

EDITOR Of THE FARM AND HoME:
1t may be of interest to your many
readers, more especially to those who
are Patrons of Husbandry in the
State, to hear Of the doings of sub
ordinate oranges, their condition and
prospects, rs find them i'll my visits:
and so | propose to give through the
columns of the FARM AND HOME such
reports of what ! see and hear as
may aid to successfully carry for
ward our Grange work.
On Thursday, the 4th inst, went
to Georgetown to attend il special
meeting of Midland Grange to which
all the Patrons in Sussex County
were invited. The leabing objects
of the meeting were to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of organizing a Pomona
Grange for Sussex Co; and to learn
more of the working of the Delaware
fruit exchange and hear it's benefits
extoled to the fruit growers of that
section. ! request to say that the
Patrons did not generally attend
this meeting after having accepted
the invitation of Midland, and there
fore the subject ola separate Pomo-
ma Grange was not discussed. The
members of Midland were nearly all
present and had prepared well ar.
ranged programme which was adj
miIably executed. After the Grange
was formally opened the invited
guests who were not members were

and are to their advantage, they
say they do not wish to expose their
ignorance. Now there is not a man
or woman that is granger that has
any excuse for being ignorant on
any subject pertaining to their call
ing for they all have q chance to
inform themselves, and i'll CONVEX
sation can express ideas well enough.
Hence all they lack is confidence in
their ability to give the benefit of
their opinion and observation in
plain and concise manner. We do
not expect Denosthenes or a Clay,
a Webster, or Calhoun, to address
us. But because we cannot clothe
our thoughts in beautiful language
1t is no excuse for lis to sit idly by
and put the burden of work on 4
few. When II sister is assigned n
duty to do even if she has to sacri-
flee some time to accomplish it she
should feel in honor bound to
perform it to the best of her ability,
knowing that our brothers will
excuse all errors, mistakes and in
charity We should consider our
coming together in the light Of
family circle where we can exchange
friendly greeting and express kind
sympathy with those in distress or
misfortune. Let us bear with each
others faults and foibles as far as
we can. Try to elevate and refine
the tone of society in which we
move, ignoring all gossiping, SLAM
dering, pickering and backbiting.
see glorious future for the
Grange if only these be enforced, to
say nothing of the other advantages
we would derive from living up to
its teachings. BY the united efforts
of all the oranges in the United Safes
there will and must be grand and
glorious revolution, socially and
politically among the agricultural
population. We cannot accomplish
much unless we take an interest in
making this organization what it is
designed to be. We should be
thoroughly organized. But this we
never will be until we enforce the
rules and.regulation Of the Order.
Therefore each one Of us should
study and practice these regulations
of the Order, t. heeoine I,erfeut
therein. am glad to see that our
Worthy Master is doing all he can
to carry out these rules and we
should do all we can to aid him.
We should not get angry if we come
to the outer gate and are not per-
mitted to enter except in the regular
form, for it is for the good of the
Order that all its requirements
should be enforced,
Now sisters let us strive to do
our utmost to make this Il pleasant,
profitable and instructive place of
resort, and prove to the world and
to the gentlemen that we arc capable
OF doing some good if only in 4
small way.

were admitted. The exercises open
ed by an address of welcome by the
Worthy Master, Daniel Short. The
first question for discussion was
"Does it pay to raise wheat at S5cts
per bushel, in Delaware? 1t was
opened by Brother Burton who
made an able presentation of the case
showing from figures that it cannot
be produced in this county at S5cts.
lie quoted largely from growers in
the county. He also gave q con-
densed statement of the extent of
wheat production in this and other
countries, estimated the probable
future supply and demand, and adj
vised his fellow farmers to turn
their attention to some other branch
of farming. An animated discussion
followed. The second question
"Should those persons who practice
the soiling system be compelled to
maintain division fences Z" was open
ed by Brother Pepper, ably discuss
ed and with but single affirmative
vote was decided i'll the negative.
1t was thought that each man should
care for his own stock and not ask
his neighbor to assist in doing it.
Sister Davidson read paper en-
titled "Our Grange" which was per-
tinent and instructive, and well pre-
scented.
Brother Peter Short then consid-
cred the question "llow many acres

modern machinery. This he main
tanned with ability against much OPP

 1 rurnor has been current on the street for two or three dave that E. J. Cook, county treasurer, Is short in his accounts. \ reporter of this paper spent nearly the entire forenoon in try ing ;o ascertain the particulars in the case, but with rather poor success. Itis . we'll known fact that seven out of ten of bis bondsmen have been in town within the last week and that Morris Goldwater has been appointed deputy county treasurer, and is virtually in charge of the office We have also learned serui-osicially that Mfr. Cook has turned All of his property over to his bondsmen. The exact amount of the defalci.ion Is not stated definitely, bu: is said to be between 5000 and ZIG, 0,OOO The matter is q complete surprise to many oi our citizens. as st the fast guar terly meeting of the board oi supervisors, held October 4,h. MT. Cook made set clement with the board, a; which he presented a certificate os deposit on the Bank of Arizona for the amount of cash supposed to be on hand, about $l7 900, and were informed if they required u he would bring the coin. The mysterious part of the transaction, and ore which the bondsnen will no doubt investigate, is how the shortage could occur If he had the full amount on deposit. less than three months ago. MT. Cook claims that the apparent shortage Is simply an error. and that an investigation oi his books saj voucher. will show that his accounts are at straight.
