THE GRANGE GROWING.
Year of Progress Throughout the
United States.

United States.
The grange organization record 1or
it's fiscal year closing September 80
is Of keen interest everywhere be-
cause of a growing realization that
this live, up-and-coming organization
of the rural people is taking a promi-
nent place in the affairs of the ma
ton, and is destined to be large,
contributing factor to future prog
ress in the United States. During
the twelve months, lat new subordi-
nate oranges were organized in the
United States and sixty-two were re-
organized; eight new Pomona or
district oranges were organized and
two reorganized. OF the new
branches started, twentythree were
in Oregon, fourteen in Nebraska,
eleven in Idaho, ten in California,
nine each in Indiana and Iowa, eight
in Washington and the remainder
distributed over dozen or more
other states.
The extent to which the grange Or
ganization is building from the
ground up" is found in the fact that
1923 juvenile oranges were organized
luc yCdl, oil luulCdLluS CAO
purpose to train the youngsters for
active service in the organization
later on Forty of the juveniles
were in Ohio, twenty in New York,
fifteen in Pennsylvania, twelve in
Michigan, twelve in Washington, and
the balance distributed over thirteen
other states
Growing grange interest is espec-
tally manifested in the central West,
following improved agricultural con-
ditions, and extensive growth the
next two years is predicted in Mime
sofa, Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri.
The grange is very strong in Kansas
and is getting a good footing in Okla
homa, though the latter is one of the
newest states. The vitality of the
grange is further attested by the fact
that new branches were organized
during the past year in both Maine
and New Hampshire, though the lat
ter states have long been so fully
covered with subordinates that it had
been thought hardly possible to start
more new ones. In some townships
in both Maine and New Hampshire
there are as many as four sub
ordinate oranges, while one township
in Maine has five live organizations,
each owning, free of debt, an up-to-
date grange hall.
