Grange Picnic.

Edge their leader in the State fight
Grange Picnic.
Rancocas Park was the scene of the
annual picnic Of Burlington County
Pomona Grange on Tuesday and We'd
nesday.
The exhibits of farm products were
very fine; nowhere in the country could
they be excelled.
The attendance was large, but the fact
that children were not admitted, on &C.
count Of infantile paralysis, made quite
difference in the total number present.
The exhibits of produce were in tent
that had been erected for this purpose.
1t was not large enough to accommodate
both the exhibits and the crowds of
spectators.
The exhibits were more numerous than
in former years. Five subordinate
oranges in the county showed fruits,
vegetables and flowers in profusion, and
considerable skill was shown in the ar
rangement Of the exhibits. Premiums
to this exhibit were awarded as follows;
1st Moorestown Grange; I'd, Marlton
Grange; Sd, Rancocas Grange. The two
other exhibits were by Medford and Vim
centown Oranges.
The show OF potatoes, peaches and
apples was very attractive and created
considerable favorable comment. MANY
persons not familiar with the conditions
in this county had no idea that such
wonderfully fine prod dcts could be raised
in this community.
The vegetables exhibited were of the
A No. class. No county could do any
better and many not near as well.
One building was DEVOTED almost ex-
ciuslvely to women's work-needlework
canned goods, iellies, cakes pies, bread,
etc. These exhibits attracted much at
tention, and received praise from every
spectator.
Farm machinery, fertilizers, gasoline
engines, automobiles, etc., were exhibited
on the ground Among these exhibitors
were z. A. Lippincott & Bro, Moores-
town; Iron Age Company; Z. P. Warner,
