Field Meetings of the State Grange. 



It may be said without fear of exaggeration that the people 

 of Massachusetts come nearer to applying the intensive method 

 to their industrial and agricultural interests than any other 

 section. This spirit in enterprise and progress is demonstrated 

 in many ways, but in none with more marked effect than by 

 the work of the Patrons of Husbandry. The organized effi- 

 ciency of the grange is well known and is of a high order, and 

 is made possible by the unselfish personal service given to its 

 endeavors by both the officers and members. A fact which is 

 more and more apparent as the years go by is that as an 

 organization it has become a powerful factor in accomplishing 

 those ends calculated to promote to the fullest extent the social 

 and industrial life of the community. 



It has been the custom of the State Grange during the past 

 few years to hold summer field meetings in various sections of 

 the State. These meetings have been very popular with the 

 members of the order and have been largely attended. At 

 each meeting speakers have been provided to discuss matters 

 relating to the welfare of the Commonwealth. The summer 

 field meetings for 1914 were as follows: — 



Middlesex Essex Pomona, Wilmington,
