Successful Co-operation.

In November, 1909, the Producers
and Consumers Exchange was incor.
porated at Brunswick, Me-, with a cap
ital of $4,000, divided in shares Of a
dollar each. The object in making the
price of shares so small was TO give
every one a chance to join with us.
1t was thought that company com
posed Of 5000 to 10000 active men,
bers could do more good than If the
shares were placed higher and a less
number Of shareholders. Last April
headquarters were opened in Boston,
and the exchange began its fight to
sell the produce Of its members and
purchase the supplies needed. While
no startling results have been appar
ent, the exchange has made a steady
growth and sold for It's members some
thing like $4,000 worth Of potatoes,
hay, apples. eggs. butter, poultry. etc.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

on Important Questions.

Action Taken by Various state oranges
on Important Questions.
A resolution was presented at the
Connecticut state grange meeting last
month making the executive commit
tee of each state grange delegates
with the master and his wife, we pre-
sume) to the national grange. Later
on in the proceedings we observe that
the resolution was withdrawn" There
might be some merit TO the question
for all that. The inevitable and per-
haps insurmountable objection of tex
pense" would be the first to arise, no
doubt. But we would get representa-
ton better I'm some respects than now,
though without increase In votes In the
state.
The national grange resolution pro
viding for open nomination of officers,
state grange approving, Is having hard
wheeling. Nearly every state grange
that has discussed the question has
turned 1t down hard. Difficult matter
to get some reforms started, isn't it?
The Maine state grange sat down"
on the practice of paying per diem and
expenses from the state grange treas
ury to persons who install Pomona
and subordinate grange officers and
will save thereby $1,000 for additional
use In deputy work. Well done!
We notice that one of the Pomona
oranges in New York state is going to
ask the state grange to provide for a
school Of instruction in that county
where the unwritten work of the order
may be exempifed each year for the
benefit of subordinate grange masters.
There's a good idea! II the esoteric
work Is worth giving ut all ii is worth
giving correctly, but now it-well, the
less said the better
Pennsylvania believes in giving all
the subordinate oranges representa-
ton at the state grange meeting. The
master and his wife from each sub
ordinate grange constitute the voting
delegates, and this year there were
nearly 700 Of these, even with many
delegates not present and number Of
oranges not represented. The state
grange pays the railroad fare of these

suits justify the cost. But New York
$50 oranges, 1900 delegates Whew!
We notice also that the Pennsyl-
vania grange adopted a resolution for
proportional representation in the ma
tional grange on the basis of one ad
ditional vote mot delegate) for each
1000 members above the first 1000
We fail to see wherein there would be
any gain to proportional representation
after this method. The increased vot-
ing power would be vested in the pres
ent delegates. Suppose a question
came up-as, for instance, any Of the
several questions at the last meeting
Of the national grange which provoked
heated discussion. Is there any doubt
but that any master would have voted
his full strength Of ten votes if he had
them just as he voted for himself at
that time? Where's the gain ?-Ameri

There are ia oranges in Kansas, and

NEW JERSEY GRANGE.

Two DAYS.

The total membership of the Order
In the state Is said TO have grown in
ten years from 1900 to $4,000, the
payments to the national grange from
$50 to $500
The state master has called atten-
ton to the very unsatisfactory condi-
ton Of the highway matter in New
Jersey, due largely to the fact that,
automobile touring by residents is the
rule and by nonresidents the eXcep-
ton, the reverse is true in New Jer-
sey. In New Jersey there are more
nonresident cars run than resident
cars. Besides this, there are perhaps
mile for mile of road in New Jersey
from fifteen to twenty times as many
automobiles running as there are in
any other states. This is due TO the
fact that in New Jersey, where there
are less than 5000 square miles of ter
ritory, there Is practically a popula-
ton Of 100000 people whose automo-
biles are using its roads, while it's
resident population is less than 2,50O,-
0O0." A plea for postal reform was
added, including the eminently sensi-
BILE suggestion that congress should
withdraw free postage from all de-
partments OF the government and pro-
vide in lieu thereof that postal serv-
Ices OF each department be met by
specific appropriations"

systematic methods as prevail in his
farm work. He is an intensive farm
er, owning but eighty acres of land,
but he makes those acres return as

/, from twice that number.
( 1t is greatly to his credit that he was

Nutmeg State. He attributes much Of
the success of the grange in that state
to the work Of the press. and the only
, reason 1t does not do more, he says
is because we do not give it the OPP
portunity
The Connecticut state grange is in a
most hourishing condition. 1t has a
good balance of funds in the treasury,
and ii Is working in harmony with all
agricultural activities Of the state.
The commit zee on resolutions at the
recent meeting reported favorably on
the proposition to request the national
grange to publish I'm its proceedings
the amount Of money received from
each state grange; also that an item
lied account Of the money received
from each subordinate grange should
be included In the annual report of the
state grange. Past Master Hale pre-
scented a resolution, which was adopt
ed, providing that 5000 be given TO the
Postal Progress league for the ad-
vancement of the parcels post agita-
ton and that $1,000 be placed at the
disposal of the executive committee to
use for the Inauguration Of the parcels
post. 1t was further voted that the
state master be made trustee Of the
Connecticut Agricultural college. The
grange approved OF the restoration of
the two years course In the Agricultur
al college. The committee on public
health favored a proposition that all
cattle imported into the state should be
accompanied by certificate showing
them TO have been tested by the tuber-
culin test within sixty days and found
free from tuberculosis. The question
provoked considerable discussion, but
the resolution prevailed. The PROPOSE
ton to allow Pomona and subordinate
oranges to nominate officers was de-
feated. Favorable action was taken
for agricultural education in the high
schools.
In connection with the state grange
work there is a fourishing Patrons
