GRANGE OF THE FUTURE.
Address by the President of Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College.

CnuSettS agricultural OoIe9c.
President Kenyon L. Butterfeld
gave some excellent suggestions as to
what the grange must do and be in the
future If it would attain the highest
success. He said the grange was orig
inally organized for the purpose of aid
ing the farmers to sell for more and
buy for less, but the Order had greatly
increased the field of its labor since
then. 1t had proved n great benefit to
the farmers and has given them a
much greater influence in their com.
munities.
Conditions are changing, and the
grange Of the future must face them.
The consumer is calling for better and
more varied products. The New Eng
land farmer must meet the competi-
ton of the new land Of the great west.
He must practice intensive farming
He must have a better distribution of
his products The farmer and the
consumer must be brought nearer to
gether. The grange Of the future must
work less for the benefit Of the in
dividual and more for the benefit Of
the whole community The grange
must become Il national rather than a
sectional organization The grange
must stand for the farmer and fight
the farmers battle. 1t must be n
studying organization. 1t should be
careful to know what 1t is doing and
what the effect Of what it does will be
The time is coming when the true test
of the grange will be what 1t does or
has done for the community. The
grange Of tomorrow must be agrees
sive and work outside of the grange
for the reforms advocated in the
grange. 1t must also work out a bet
ter method of cooperation.
