Ii must be conceded by every IN
tell'gent farmer that crop which is
the earliest for the market, one
easily cultivated, and one which
pays better than any other crop which
can be grown in this section Of the
country, is, above all others, the
one to be raised. This ideal crop
Is nothing more nor less than toma-
toes. And now is the time TO make
arrangements for its raising. Any

value of the tomato as crop has

few facts. A very intelligent gem

GETTING New Members.

A sensible way Of acquiring new
members is one adopted by a Columbia
county q. " grange. Every member
present is permitted to present one
name or more of persons who they
think would make good members.
These names are handed into the sec
rotary of the grange. At the follow
ing meeting a committee of five chosen
by the grange or appointed by the
master take the names presented I'M
der consideration. They take pains to
get all the information possible about
the prospective candidates. and when
satisfied of their eligibility and de-
STABILITY the committee reports the
names to the grange. and each men,
Der present is requested to take the
list or such part of 1t as he may wish
and then within the following two
weeks see all the parties or write them,
asking them to become members of the
grange. 1t will readily be seen that If
a person gets an invitation from sew
eral sources. as in this manner, he
will be very apt to respond.

About Grange Dues.

There is question sometimes in
subordinate oranges as to when a
member should begin paying dues,
whether at the time of initiation or
later. He begins payment of dues the
quarter succeeding the one in which
he takes his first degree. The dues Of
charter members likewise begin the
quarter following that In which the
grange was organized. The subOrdi-
nate grange does not pay dues to the
state grange on member until the
quarter following that in which he
was received into the grange, but does
pay dues to the state grange on any
names dropped during the quarter by
demit or expulsion.
