The annual session of the Connecticut
state grange was held in Hartford last
month. Worthy Master Patterson re-
ported that the past year had been one
of advancement in the Order. He COM
mented favorably on the excellent ritu-
alistic work being done by the oranges
throughout the state. There was an
unusual array of talent at the public
meeting held one afternoon during the
session. Among the speakers were the
governor and lieutenant governor Of
Connecticut, the governor of New
Hampshire, National Master Jones and
others.
Several important resolutions Of q
public nature We're adopted. One
against the free seed distribution as at
present conducted being of so general
interest, we reproduce 1t in full. 1t 1s
Ms follows:
Resolved That the Connecticut state
grange in annual session convened records
it's protest in emphatic and unqualified
terms AGAINST the entire system of free
present conducted, believing that the day
has passed when such distribution is Of
any value to or is cared for by any con-
siderable number of farmers or gardeners
of this state. ( is a misuse of the public
funds and serves no good purpose. II
any new and desirable seeds can be OBJ
tanned by the government not generally
known in al sections of the country, such
distribution. along the lines of the original
purpose, is desirable and should be con-
tnued. but free distribution of common
seeds or so called novelties In a promis-
CuoUs manner is unwarranted, besides
loading the mails unnecessarily to the
great detriment of other and more i'm
portant interests. We therefore respect
fully request our representatives in con-
Ercss to oppose further appropriations for
this purpose
The woman suffrage resolution going
the rounds of the state oranges because
no doubt of its adoption by the ma
tional grange was reported upon un-
favorably by the committee having it
in charge, but when submitted to
grange it's report was overruled and
the resolution adopted. 1t pledges the
grange to support legislation to grant
political rights TO women.
On the favorable report of the COM
mittee on education the grange passed
the resolution requesting school officers
and teachers 10 examine the system of
instruction in operation in Batavia, N.
Y, known as the Kennedy system.
on the favorable report of the commit
tee on good of the Order, resolution
was passed urging the legislature to
SO amend the act in relation to agri-
cultural fairs as to forbid state aid to
those at which gambling or illegal
liquor selling may be allowed.
Orson S. Wood of East Windsor was
elected worthy master, B. a. Peck of
Bristol oversecr and l.. II. Healey OF
North Woodstock lecturer. The new
master is siXty-feur years of age and
was Il member of the house of repre-
sentativcs two terms.
