STATE 



No collection of state grange proceedings which is anywhere nearly com- 

 plete is known to exist. The collection in W.H. is probably the most ex- 

 tensive. The proceedings vary in fulness, in some cases containing but a 

 bare record of business transacted and in others containing speeches and 

 reports of committees in full. Possibly the most valuable parts of them are 

 the numerous resolutions or sets of resolutions which were almost invariably 

 adopted at each session of each state grange. Documents which have to do 

 solely with the business features of the order are listed under Cooperation. 

 The arrangement is alphabetical by states.
