OUR GROWING ORDER.

4 CSnsistent Course On Most Great

During the past year there was a
great growth Of the Order Of Patrons
OF Husbandry In nenriy ali partS Of the
country. New oranges BY the hundred
were established. Many communities
in which the subordinate oranges had
been left to die experienced revival
Of grange interest and reorganized the
defunct bodies. starting out with a
good membership and with cheerful
prospects for the future. Existing
oranges increased their membership. In
some places doubling the number Of
active members. The national grange
officials have furnished us no reports
of oranges that have gone down dur.
ing the year, but probably the numbee
is smaller than In foregone years. All
the reports from national. Pomona and
subordinate grunge sources during The
year ended Sept. 30 were cheering to q
high degree. The order Is already
enormously influential In very many
ways. local. county, state and national.
and the great growth IN membership Of
the past year win directly Increase ita
influence.
The order, ON the whole, has been
held to a fairiy consistent course on
important questions affecting the coun-
try at large and its agricultural inter
ests IN particular. Here and there a
weak spot or wrong tendency h vis-
ibie, but wise eounseis win probably
prevail In the end and save the order
from the weakening effect Of radical
