OF the National Grange, Westfield, Mass
GRANGE FOR RURAL UPLIFT
Institution Can Rightly Claim to Be
at Head Of All Farm
Organizations.

That the Grange, throughout all the
states. is one of the greatest of all the
modern factors for practical rural up
lift is now generally recognized; but
its work has seldom been more con-
cisely stated than In a recent editorial
In one OF the leading farm journals of
the west. the Kansas Farmer, which
presented the Grange in strikingly
convincing light. as regards rural up
lift. 1t said:
There is considerable discussion
these days on the rural community
question, and what to do to improve
rural life. The community center
should have three organizations
around which to build up; the school,
the church, and some other secular
organization, such as the Grange.
The school should be a graded one,
built up Of half-dozen of the weak
districts. 1t is necessary for this con-
solidation II we wish our children to
be educated at home and not sent to
town to be identified with city school
life.
The different denominations OF our
Protestant church are getting 30
near together that all in an ordinary
community could unite in a single
church.
And last, but not least, the Grange
can rightly claim to be at the head of
all farm organizations in age and
achievement and can furnish the best
nucleus around which community
work can center. Then this COM
munity work must move toward this
three-fold center, and not from It, as
is SO often the case at the present
time. We know how it is in most
neighborhoods, the people go to town
to church, send their young people
there for advanced school work-in
fact most all their interests move out
from the community center instead
of toward it, and the result is dis
satisfied young folks, dissatisfied fam
lilies, and dissatisfied communities
This must be changed to make rural
life what 1t should be-"

GRANGE AND FARM CREDITS.

For years the Grange has been ex-
erting its organized energies towards
securing for the farmers of the coun-
try larger opportunities Of rural cred
it, believing that thereby can farm
capital be increased, greater farm i'm
provements be secured and larger
agricultural efficiency result In
Grange meetings, large and small, has
the subject been discussed, resolu-
tons have been adopted and aggres-
sive action instituted. No one sub
ject has been more widely discussed
In Grange circles the past two years
than that of rural credits, and the
worldwide interest recently shown Is
in large measure due to all this
Grange agitation.
There is consequently much exulta-
ton In Grange circles over the recent
move by the treasury department OF
the United States government In ad-
vancing $50,000,0 600 of federal funds to
assist in moving the seasons crops In
the south and west. The money IL
to be deposited In the banks in those
great crop sections, on very easy
terms, and It is expected that the
successful moving of the crops will
in consequence be greatly facilitated.
The farmers all through the south
and west are delighted at this finan-
cial assistance; while the move Is re-
garded as specially significant in in.
dicating a growing purpose to direct
federal funds for the assistance OF
the agricultural industry. That 1t also
points the way towards speedy es'
adjustment Of some system Of wide
spread farm credits is the belief OF
those foremost In the agitation In
which the Grange has been SO Ions
and so conspicuously q leader.
