greater power in public affairs aud
should have a larger agricultural rep
resentation in all legislative bodies as
the result OF its activity in this up
building of the interests of rural com
munities.
There should be a grange in every
school district, and the schoolhOusp
should I've the place for holding the
meetings; but, under the present law.
farmers have no right to bold such
meetings in school buildings, although
these should be the live, active centers
of agricultural educational work. A
half dozen farmers, with the co-opera.
ton of their wives. could in time
change the entire character of the
farm life of small district. They
could hold grange meetings in their
homes. Ritualistic work could well
give way somewhat or be modified to
meet the conditions of thousands of
farmers and their families in school
districts where they can more easily
get together and without driving miles
to reach grange hall. Vast numbers
of farmers are in a more or less dis
couraged condition over their farms.
With higher ruling prices for farm
products, many cannot benefit from
them because of the high cost of labor
and the great difficulty of obtaining it.
Many do not keep pace with the times,
do not study the changed demands in
methods and keep on in the old ways,
producing things of lower value while
there is an unsatisfied demand for diff
ferent products of higher value.
These and other problems farmers
must work out themselves, and they
will find great help through the CO.
operative methods which the grange
encourages. For seven months in a
year, with comparatively long even
ings, farmers may get together to
study and work out these problems. At
the same time they can consider the
social needs of their farm life, which
will interest the young people as also
those older. Through these means it
would not be difficult for every farm
er 80 associated to increase his yield
of potatoes twenty-five bushels per
acre, hay one ton per acre, milk 600 to
800 quarts per COW per year. This in
crease, while not large, would change
the entire conditions in every farm
community. 1t would enable farmers
to better meet the high labor cost and
to give farm laborers more steady en-
ployment and would give new impetus,
life and interest to farming.
More in this line of work should be
done. The organization of school dis
trict oranges when once started would
reach far greater numbers than have
yet been won. In so doing the
grange would be carrying out to an
even greater degree the original object
of its founders-the promotion of the ag
riculture of our nation and the eleva-
ton of those engaged in it,

TRUE GRANGE SPIRIT.
We Too Often Look For Ii In the
WronE Places.

We Too often Look For 1t In the
WronE Places.
The spirit of the grange is not a will
o'-the-wisp. says Miss Jennie Buell.,
secretary of the Michigan state grange,
writing to the Fruit Belt. 1t is tangible
and can be grasped and comprehended
The trouble is we too often look for
the spirit of the grange in the wrong
places. We run across some carping,
dyspeptic Patron or visit some weak
kneed, disheartened little grange, and
we say, Behold the grange-what a
frazzled out, dispirited thing it ISL We
look for the bow of promise in the
storm and fail to find IT, for it is above
and beyond. So the true spirit of the
grange is not to be searched for in the
thick of the fight nor in single in
stances. If present at all it shines out
after the smoke of battle has risen. 1t
is what predominates in a majority Of
oranges and is not the absence of spirit
in any solitary one.
1.-The Lord was not in the earthquake
or fire, but in the still small voice"
The spirit of the grange is calm second
thought, uniting all in essentials, giving
all fullest liberty in nonessentials and
striving to nurture in all that charity
that persuades how wondrously alike
and human we all are.
Looked at, the grange may disclose
nothing to you. Hold it as a telescope
to your eye. and, 10, long years of con-
sistent endeavor unfold, longest in time
and widest in extent of any kindred
movement, during which time multi
tude of men and women, united by the
strong and faithful tie of agriculture"
have labored for the good of their
Order, their country and mankind. The
hand Of purpose has been laid in their
random lives and their latent capabil-
tiles touched to activity and accom-
plishment 1t has been a great thing
A tremendous work is being wrought.
Let no one disclaim it or look at II in
the small
ITO develop better and higher man
hood" has always and ever must be the
rally cry of conquering progress in the
grange, and, in SO far as each Patron
strives to prove this true in his individ-
ual life, so far does the true spirit Of
the grange body as whole reveal itself
to him as reality-sure, magnanimous
and abiding

MICHIGAN INNOVATION.
Important Addition to the state
Grange of the wolverine state.


Grange of the wolverine state.
That the work of the information
bureau OF the Michigan state grange
Is marked success is attested by
the amount of transactions through
this bureau. While the fiscal year does
not close until Nov l, the following
figures will give some idea of the
work:
During the past year this depart
ment has sold over million acres of
real estate, 1000 head of cattle, 1000
horses, 10000 sheep, 10000 hogs and
a vast amount of poultry and eggs.
Three thousand bushels of clover and
timothy seed were also purchased,
four carloads of potatoes were shipped
to the east. forty five carloads of cedar
posts were purchased for patrons and
5000 pounds of cheese sold for them,
and large transactions in binder Irvine
could have been made, but this article
and certain others on which the state
grange has contracts the bureau does
not handle.
The managers are endeavoring to
complete arrangements whereby they
can ship direct to eastern markets
hay, grain, etc. There has been
great deal of secondhand machinery
exchanged, but as TO the number and
value of these transactions definite
information is wanting
1t would seem to be a matter of in
terest to other state oranges to take
up a similar work. or perhaps for the
national grange to provide a national
grange bureau of information. based
on the Michigan information bureau.
Surely there is some practical work
being done by this young offspring of
the Michigan grange.

Agricultural High Schools In Ten Per
Cent of the Congressional Districts.
Hon. Willet NJ. Hays, assistant COM
missioner of agriculture of Washing
ton, discussed the subject of Industrial
education at n meeting held under the
auspices of the Massachusetts state
grange. He spoke in favor of such ed
ucation as is provided for in bill in
troduced in the last congress by Mr..
Davis of Minnesota. 1t would estab-
lish secondary schools which would
train teachers capable of introducing
agriculture and home economics into
the rural schools, and when the train
ing of leaders and technical teachers
for elementary farm schools is provid
ed for in system of collegiate and
secondary schools the last and great
est of all country life educational move
ment will be to reorganize the rural
school.
The interests of more than 100000
farm boys and girls and nearly 10000
600 city boys and girls are wrapped up
in this bill, he said. 1t provides for
very greatly increased facilities for
teaching mechanic arts and home eco
Monies in city high schools as well as
agriculture and home economics in ag-
ricultural high schools. about 10 per
cent of our congressional districts have
already established agricultural high
schools" said Mr.. Hays.
