GRANGE FIELD DAYS.

Suggestion as to What Goes to Make
Up Profitable Outing as Determined
by Specchmaking
This is the season for grange fielo
days and picnics. We have some very
emphatic opinions about these affairs,
says a writer in an exchange. Pri-
marily they are for social intercourse
and enjoyment, but to make them to
serve only the social side of our ma
lures is not fulfilling their real mis-.
sion. State oranges are at very con-
siderable expense to furnish speakers
for these gatherings in order that the
intellectual and educational features
may be emphasized, but sometimes
this matter of speechmaking is sadly
overdone. No one should be permitted
on the speakers platform who will
talk for more than thirty minutes.
Better have three talks of fifteen min
utes each than one of forty five.
Then the subject matter. Hot wealth
er and other jokes are bound to be
perpetrated but one is enough in any
talk. There is more serious work be-
fore the grange today even on pic
mic occasions than talking yards of
nonsense. No speech made before a
mixed audience of grangers and non
grangers should ever close without
presenting some feature or features of
grange work or public policy such as
will inform those who are not mem
bers of the Order as to what grange
principles and policies are along the
lines under discussion. and it may
well close with an appeal to such
farmers and farmers wives to identi-
fy themselves with the only farmers
organization that is unselfishly seek
ing the farmers good and the ad-
home interests.
A clear, succinct statement of what
the grange has accomplished for the
farmer in legislation may well occupy
the speech for few moments. but
what the grange is doing today and
proposes to do tomorrow and next day
to improve conditions ON the farm and
make farming more renruneratiye
should occupy the larger portion of
the address. Let us not live in the
past, but in the active present Let
us not boast so much of what the
grange has done as to tell of what it
proposes to do-in fact, Is doing and
so inspire others with the thought
that they should join forces with the
vast army fighting the farmers battle
