ing Numbers


BENTON County Pomona grange
not with Finley grange last Sat,
nrday. April s. Grange was caiied
- order by Master Mclean with
two officers absent.
The only resolution coming up
during the afternoon session was
one sent to the local Pomona by
the Adams County grange, winch
was resolution requesting ac-
ENCOURAGEMENT of wheat OF %
Mound wheat as coming under the
number i grade providing it had
tha other necessary requirements.
There were but five oranges rep
resented during the afternoon ses-
sion. These were Finley, kenne-
wick Valley, Locust Grove, Klona-
BENTON and Vale. All of these
oranges reorted considerable act
ivity and was rather difficult to
pick out an outstanding grange re-
port for the meeting. All oranges
are working on the baseball team
league and this is bringing quite
a few young people into the order
and also responsible for reinstate-
ment OF quite a few. There seems
to be a little discussion on the
point as to whether there is not
too much emphasis being laid upon
the recreataional side of the
grange, but on the whole the sent
iment seems to be that a proper
balance is being maintained be-
tween recreational and the other
activities. Several expressed their
opinion that more effort be given
to an Improvement of the regular
Grange work with discussion of
the vital problems of the day and
increase of recreational features
would be much better than any
general discussion on lack of bal
ance of the grange program.
The grange secretary read re-
port of grange activities sent to
the grange by Master Goss. This
review was felt to be very much
worth while and increase the con-
fidence of the members in the work
of the organization.
Special attention is called to the
ruling of the state grange last
year that resolutions going to the
state grange this year must be in
the hands of the resolutions corn
mittee at least Is days before the
meeting Of the state grange. Rec
concentrations coming from the
oranges should bear the seal of
the grange and as far as possible
individuals should at least try to
secure the action of their local
grange rather than writing UP the
resolutions to the state grange as
an individual.
The Pomona lecturer, Mrs. Chas.
Morgan, Benton City, has initiated
the program of holding conference
OF subordinate lecturers during
the period between adjournment
and the supper hour. Interest in
this conference is increasing and
lecturers attending report receiv-
ing great deal of help. Mrs. Nor
gan requests that each grange of
the country try to send their lectur-
sr or an alternate to the Pomona
meeting so as to be able to set in
on this conference.
The lecture hour program in the
evening consisted largely of the
numbers from the subordinate
oranges selected to compete in the
POMONA contest winners of which
are to compete in district con-
test to be held in the Yakima
chamber of commerce rooms at s
Pm, April %. The program was
