The Grange and the Public school

A school commissioner who has had
large experience and Is recognized as
one of the best in the state paid the
grange this high compliment recently
in a public address: Il always like to
hear that the school district has elect
ed member of the grange to the posi-
ton Of trustee, for am then reason
ably sure the trustee will take some
interest in maintaining good school
and keeping the school property and
equipment in the best possible condi-
tion. The grange advocates education,
and its members promote II"
Let us strive to live up to that opinion
of man outside the gates. The closer
and more intimately the grange can be
identified with the school system Of
our state the better 1t viii be for the
grange and the schools. The schools
are not merely the educational centers
Of our rural communities. They are
the factories of American citizenship.
When we consider the percentage Of IL
literacy in the rural districts Of New
York to be greater than it is in the
cities we must realize the importance
Of improving the rural schools and en-
forcing the compulsory education law.
1t is not to the credit of New York that
eighteen other states have lower per-
centage Of iiliteracy than we have, and
the responsibility Of changing this, so

Among the new varieties of apples

color is a. yellow slightly tinged with
green, nearly covered with dull red,
having splashee deeper red and dark
red blush. The flesh is firm, crisp, fine
grained, white, with yellow tinge, juicy,
pleasant and mildly aromatic The
season for it is from December to
April, and it is one of the best of keep
ers. Apples that were frozen all winter
have been found good when thawed
out, apparently not having deteriorat-
ed. At the Agricultural college this
was pronounced the best for eating
among sixty varieties. Though COM
paratively new it has been largely set
in Delaware, Maryland and West Vir-
ginia, where it has, proved good. The
difficulty with it in these states is that
it is subject to bitter rot and drops

pointed as an experiment at the June
session Of last year, but its worth has

many people and the results shown are
SO encouraging that it will undoubtedly
become permanent feature Last
summer was devoted more especially
to collecting specimens Of insects. birds
and small animals and forwarding
them to Professor Fl. a. Surface, state
zoologist, at Harrisburg. In the late
fall and early winter printed matter
relating to plant life was distributed
and search made for signs Of the San
Jose scale.
The next work of the committee was
arranging for the distribution of sew
eral hundred packets Of seed, which
were sent out among the members
March s, each packet accompanied by
circular reading as follows:
The geological committee OF Tioga

packets of vegetable and flower seeds
be divided among the younger mem
bers in grange families in each subor-
dinate grange in the county and the re-
suits reported as follows:
Note the time OF planting; time it
takes to gerrninate; how it first ap-
pears and what growth it makes each
week; how long it takes for the first
bud to appear; how soon blossoms ap-
pear thereafter; the number of bios
some; time 1t takes seed pods or
fruit to appear and ripen. Note what
insects work on the plant, injurious or
otherwise, and all other data possible.
Reports, with specimens of vegeta-
bles and flowers, should be sent to the
September session of Pomona grange,
when prizes will be awarded. A list Of
prizes for the above will be announced
at the June session Of Pomona grange.
As the season advances this year 1t
is proposed to collect specimens of
plants, rocks, woods, birds nests, etc.,

museum containing specimens of every
thing that grows in our county as well
as samples of rocks and minerals.

Now that West Virginia may soon
be defendant in a suit to be brought
by Virginia to recover a part Of the
old Virginia debt, it is refreshing to
recall that soon after the separation
a committee Of the West Virginia
legislature, whose chairman was
Jonathan NJ. Bennett, reported that
instead of West Virginia being the
creditor for a dollar, the old state
owed the new state about half a mil
lion. This was based upon the fact
that since the days Of the Revolution
almost, that part Of the State which
is now West Virginia, had been pay
