Abandoned Farms was taken up and

nell, John Quincy. Alden Robbins. o.
Gardner. F. w. Smith. Thomas Gushee,
Edw. Roy, Mrs. Susan Smith, J. p.
Hobbs. A. O. Glover and Geo. Nash.
Many valuable ideas We're brought out
and 1t was the general opinion that a
good class of foreigners like the Scandi-
navians would redeem many of our
abandoned farms and add population and
wealth to our inland towns. We ShGaid
not forget that we are all descendants CT
foreigners. 1t was advocated by some
that the poorest of these farms should be
allowed to grow up to wood and thereby
restore their lost fertility.
The membership of Hope Grange Is
quite small. owing to removals and 9th
er causes, but that fact would never be
known judging from the amount of baked
beans and other good things which were
