A grange plants wisdom in the soil, Raising respect for honest toll. Our implements we gladly wield To till the earth and save its yield To reap, hook, a scythe, to mow, A spud, axe, crook, shovel and hoe, Plough, rake and spade to stir the soil They GU are implements of toll. Now, if you wish to have grange, You must not call improvements strange, But give up ifs and 'ands' and 'buts,' And lift yourselves out of the ruts That make you hate to till the soil, And call such labor hopeless toil." The years that have been full of change Have brought to our hilltop a grange, And all it's patrons will agree
 An increased love of husbandry; An increased zeal to till the soil And make the most of farm life's toil. And thanks to Providence or Fate, The worthy master of our state Has come with most gracious intent To talk for our encouragement. He'll tell you more about grange Than comes within this lecturers range. We trust you'll think, as we all do, That in our grange there's room for yoN.
