For the Advocate.
On Thursday evening, May 1S, 1911,
the Sandyville Grange, No. 256, Of
Sandyville, Md, held sociable at the
home Of its overseer, Frank Ecken-
rode, of Reese, Carroll county.
The members of the Order, together
with large number Of invited guests
assembled on the lawn and spent a
very pleasant evening. The program
consisting Of singing and speaking,
was conducted by U. Fl. Shipley,
Master of the local Order. The first
speaker Of the evening was Grove ].
Shipley, of Smallwood Grange He
gave an excellent talk on Interest in
Grange Work" Brother Jacob Bas-
ler, Postmaster of the Westminster
Grange, spoke especially on the at
tack that blue beetle was making
on his vineyard. 1t was found to be
quite general trouble in this COM
munity, and the discussion brought
out the fact that spraying the vines
with solution of arsenic of lead will
destroy the beetle and thus save the
vines. CThe beetle will appear twice
in a season, first, in April or May,
second, in July or August. BY dust
ing vines with SCOT or wood ashes
the insects will be driven away)
Brother Upton Gladhill, Master of
Medford Grange, spoke very convinc-
ingly on the effect of the reciprocity
bill and kindred topics. He showed
by number Of comparisons that the
producer received very small porti-
on Of the consumers dollar.
Much interest was taken in the
gathering by the neighboring farmers,
for they are convinced that unless
they organize and stand together for
the mutual protection and welfare of
themselves and families they will new
er be granted the consideration due
them for their labors. After the
speaking, all were invited to the din
ing room where refreshments were
served in abundance. At late hour
all returned to their homes well
pleased with the hospitality OF their
host and the Grange in general
