The book found it's beginning in q
series Of tales told to the children Of
the Duchess OF Marlborough, the

SOMERSET POMONA.
sssssssssssesssessssss

The regular March session of the
Pomona was held with Canaan
Grange, Tuesday, March 8. The day
was pleasant but roads unfayorable.
Representatives were present from
Canaan, Athens, East Madison, Skow-
hegan and Cornville Oranges and
visiting members from East Somer-
set and Kennebec Pomonas. The
Master, Lecturer. Assistant Steward,
Chaplain, Secretary, Pomona and
Lady Assistant Steward were in at
tendance. The address of welcome
was given by Mrs. Clara Moody and
the response by Mrs. Nellie Hobart,
one of the lady officers of the Pomo-
ma. Both the welcome and response
were given extempore and were re-
plete with beautiful expressions of
good will and encouragement.
The questions introduced for dis
cussion were: IF the present condi-
tions regarding farm labor continue
to prevail what will be the effect on
the agriculture of the future?" and
lis the Producers and Consumers
Exchange a benefit to the farmers?"
The following were called upon to
give their individual views on these
questions: G. II. Foster, c. r. Oliver.
S. F. Emerson, C. B. Gardner, E. E.
Clifford, w. C. Hobart, l.. L. Smith
and L. w. Shean. The speakers as a
whole agreed that with the present
high price of farm labor farmers
cannot afford to hire only in extreme
cases. Laborers that offer them
selves upon the farm are not salts
factory. The pay demanded will not
warrant the outlay on the part of the
average farmer. Better let por-
ton oft he farm grow up to forest
growth than to hire help that does
not pay. The conditions today are
such that intensive farming instead
of extensive Is now in order. The
call is for larger crops from less
acres. Just now we need more farm
stock, more swine, more hay and
grain and less potatoes. The potato
craze has driven the farmers off
their feet and 1t is hoped they will
see the correct methods that should
prevail and start in this season in
the right direction. After years OF
agitation it is evident that the
Grange will now do something in the
line of successful cooperation and
the Producers and Consumers Ex-
change affords the opportunity.
The remaining exercises consisted
of an instructive paper on the origin
of Pomona by Sarah Nevens, recita-
ton by Elva Nye; duet by Lettie and
