Grange News

At a well attended meeting OF
the Tobacco Valley Grange on Jan
uary 20, two candidates were nd
mitted to full membership. The pro-
gram for the farmers institute to
be held on February 81 was com
pleted. Several changes, among
them one dealing with the regula-
tons governing the trapping Of bea-
yer on private lands and the others
having to do with the hunting of
deer, were proposed, and the sports
correspondent was instructed to
communicate with the state game
department regarding these pro-
posed changes. The general opin-
ion seems to be that the SO called
buck law should be done away with.
