terest, which we're answered by other
lecturers Some of the more importa Mt oues-
tions dealt with were the number Of onen
meetings which should he held during
the year, and the program at these meet .

Quoted to make them of the greatest
possible interest to young and old Nom.
bers alike; the best way to arouse in

and the question Of juvenile meetings AZ
the Grange halls. Fruitful suggestions
were made to these questions, and there
was so much interest aroused in tho
questions brought forward that the meet =
ing was not over until almost eleven
O'Clock.
Mr., Steerc before proceeding with the
round table discussion, spoke at length
on "Co-operation." He spoke of the
great difference in the prices NJ goods
when they leave the farmer and when
they reach the consumer saying that the
farmer is entitled to moro, but that 1T
should not come from the consumer.
Cooperation Is tho factor which will
bring n greater wealth to the farmer.
There should he a common interest he
tween ono farmer ana his ncighbor, and
this demands confidence and n mellow
ing down Of the selfishrees and petty
jealousy which is apt to exist between
farmers with no common interest, lie
urged the lecturers to take these sug-
Ecstions home to their respective
oranges.
During the evening. Mrs George S.
Ladd, lecturer Of the Massachusetts
