AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
II Grange Dishands, What Should Be
Dore With Its Property?

" orange DisEGroS, What Shoulo De
Dore With It's Property?
Under New York sta.e grange laws,
the personal property of the grange
which comes from the national grange,
such as manuals, charter, regalia and
seal, are taken by the national grange
and held in trust by that body until
such time as the gcangc should again
become active. The real estate. such
as hall, barns, etc, are sold at public
auction under the direction of the state
grange, and the proceeds of such sale
are divided equally among the mem
bers of the grange who were in good
standing on the date at which the
grange became dormant There is a
misrepresentation on the part of many
patrons that in case the grange be-
comes dormant, if it owns hall or
other property. such property re-
verts to the state grange. Such is not
the case ana has never been the policy
of the New York state grange The
property belongs to the members of the
subordinate grange who are in good
standing, and when the grange dis
bands only such participate in the di-
vision of the property. The property
of grange cannot be divided so long
as thirteen members in good standing
object thereto. Some oranges have re-
Trained from having their halls dedi-
Gated to the uses of the Order for fear
that such halls would fall into the
hands of the state grange in case the
subordinate grange became dormant.
We hope this explanation will make
the matter clear to everybody and that
no grange will hesitate to build hall
for fear 1t will fall into the hands of
the state grange If the local grange
should become dormant. Such a thing
has never happened in the thirty-three
years the New York state grange has
been in existence; neither can it eve,
happen under our laws.

Oranges Title to Real Estate.

State Master W. f. Hill of Pennsyl-
vania recently gave an opinion relative
to the oranges holding real estate in
which he said: in our Order the state
grange cannot acquire title to grange
hall or any other property except by
purchase. The dedication of the hall
has no effect whatever upon its owner
ship. Even should your grange dis
band or become dormant the state
grange has no claim upon the property.
1t belongs to the same owners as be-
fore"

of the grange to let degree work crowd

drive. which was not as destructive

STORING THE ONION CROP.
Proper Way the Bulbs Should Be
Handled During Winter Season.

The best practice Is to spread In
layers not more than 6 inches deep
where the onions Will have free ven
tilation When the tops are thorough
ly dried they may be easily cut or
rubbed off and the bulbs stored in
layers two feet deeper. or in crates or
other convenient packages,
There are two very common meth
dds of storing small quantities OF
onions. One Is to keep in a dry loft or
attic of the house where there Is little
or no freezing The other method Is to
allow the bulbs to freeze and then
cover with sufficient hay or straw to
keep them In frozen condition until
used or until spHing. The latter meth
cd is very satisfactory in the north.

months, sprouted u number Of young
trees whose roots had developed in

FIRST case on record where redwood
