I betieve more of the Buccoan of oar Order la due to the loyal and (utluatakla* work of our deputies lu the performance of their dutlea than to any one other agency The state la divided Into thirty-three dlstrlcta, with a competent deputy for each district, whose duty it U to visit each grange In hla district twice at least each year—In January for Instruction apd In October or November for lns|>ectloo. The dep-

uty also la the judge In all contests In literary and degree work and baf a general oversight of the work of each grange In hla district. The state la also divided into two Pomona districts, with a competent man In each to supeVlntend Its work. These

are assisted by four special deputies, whose duties are to do any special work under the direction of master dr executive committee or general deputy. Notwithstanding the duties of these officers have Increased year by year, we have loyal members always ready to do the work and at a cost to the state grange of a merely nominal sum In comparison with the good re-

sults accomplished.

These deputies are directly under the anthority of the general deputy, to whom they report the condition of each grange twice each year, giving the number of member*, number of meetings held, average attendance, general condition and future prospects. This gives the general deputy a thorough knowledge of the condition of every subordinate grange in the state, and be can give aid to any who are weak or In need of help from the state grange. The total coat of the deputy inspection. Including mileage and per diem of deputies In attending meetings for Instruction and the annual f y^>g of the state grange. Is not far

t *1.500.

* / system of awarding prizes In tof the deputy districts for literary degree work has done mqch to stimulate the various granges to do their best, and the trophies thus won adorn the walls or are in use In many of the grange halls of the state. We believe the system should be continued so long as It can be arranged to give equal advantage to grange* of large and small membership alike, but great care should be exercised In the arrangement of this part of our grange work or weak granges may become more discouraged and thus defeat the object sought.—H.

A bill has been drawn by Senator Ambler, member of the legislative committee of the New York state grange, and introduced in the New York-atm te senate, giving the grange the power to name one of the trustees of Cornell university, which has heretofore been named by the state agricultural society. When the university was founded agriculture waa recognized aa the basic industry of the state and as such entitled to representation on the board of trustees. At that time the State Agricultural society waa the best representative body of farmers in the state, and its president baa few many years been s trustee of the university.
