MOVEMENT
Twenty one Organized in Nebras
ka Within Last Year
NEED OF SUCH ORGANIZATION
By E A Burnett University of Ne
braska
The grange movement which has
been strong for many years in the
eastern and middle states is gaining
a foothold in Nebraska where twenty
one granges have been organized with
in the last year At a recent meeting
of the State Grange the Hon J D
Ream of Broken Bow Neb was elect
ed master of the State Grange
The grange is a farmers organiza
tion national in its character with
county state and national organiza
tions The membership consists main
ly of farmers and farmers wives with
members of their families over four
teen years of age
The purr ose of the grange is to fur
nish a social center where men and
women may meet together and discuss
those questions which are cf personal
or community interest
The need of such an organization
has been apparent for many years
Farmers have had little opportunity
to meet in a social way to study
questions which relate to their busi
ness interests and the enjoyment and
cemfort of their families
Terhaps he largest benefit which
comes from the organization of a
grange comes to the farm women and
ihe children who are more isolated
than the men having less opportunity
to meet each other in their daily occu
pations The women find the grange
a place where they can study ques
tions pertaining to the health of thsir
families to household management
where they can learn of good and help
ful books and where they are stimu
lated to a deeper study of the prob
lems of country living The young
people find in the grange an opportu
nity for social life which is not found
on the isolated farm They are in
duced to a study of current clay prob
lems by hearing these things discussed
by the older members They help in
the program by leadings recitations
songs etc Men who have never be
fore addressed public audiences or
taken part in public debate learn to
do so among their friends and neigh
bors in tl e grange and greatly in
crease thir efficiency and their use
fulness in tho community through the
confidence and the experience they ac
quire in their local grange organiza
tion
The Increase in land values has
made it necessary for the farmer to
be more efficient than in pioneer days
Farming is a business in which the
land is capitalized up to its full earn
ing capacity under good management
The farmer in these days to be a
business success must understand the
principles of soil fertility and soil
management and must put these prin
ciples into practice Few farmers
have studied these questions in the
schools and they must depend upon
their individual experience or upon in
formation which they can gain from
the outside for the improvement of
their farms and the increase of their
crop yields The grange offers an op
portunity for the study of scientific
methods and of the best practical ex
perience of the neighborhood The
grange lecturer by a systematic pro
gram can cover a large range of sub
jects in a season and can make the
meetings a real school for the mem
bers It is freely admitted by farm
ing communities that those neighbor
hoods which have had local farmers
organizations are more progressive
mere prosperous and use more ad
vanced methods than communities
where no such stimulus has been at
work
One of the greatest problems at the
present time is to keep the educated
man and woman upon the land con
tented with their condition This can
only be accomplished where the com
munity offers social advantages suffi
cient to meet the needs of educated
men and women Some form of farm
ers organization is necessary to fill
this need and the grange throughout
a large portion of the United- States
hn been able to meet this demand
more fully perhaps than any other
criii7Pton Especially in the east
ern and ccntnl states where the
grange has on- beon in existence is
its nfluencp upon ag irultural condi
tions seen
The grange is non sectarian and
joes not affiliate itself with any polit
ical party It takes its position upon
a public question after a full discus
sion of the question independent1 of
the views of political parties The
grange is a secret organization It has
a ritual and in many respects is sim
ilar to othsr fraternal organizatois

Curiosity From the Orient Said to

Philadelphia Pa The Tenodera
Sinensis or Chinese Mantis is in our
midst nowadays and the insect ex
perts at the Academy of Natural Sci
ences on Logan Square have been
kept busy recently answering ques
tions as to what the queer looking in
sects are and where they come from
Philadelphia is about the only
American city that is the home of
the Chinese Mantis About 10 years
ago a number of the insects were
brought to this city from China on
some plants that had been imported
by the Median Nurseries in German-
town Gradually the mantis spread
through Germantown and are now
rather abundant north of Market
street That they will in time spread
throughout the city and suburbs and
perhaps in time throughout the coun
try seems probable
The mantis according to Br Henry
Skinner of the Academy of Natural
Sciences has no sting but has a rath
er large mouth and will bite if an
noyed Several weeks ago a woman
living in Germantown became terrifien
when one of the insects flew against
her arm She declared that the bug
stung her and that her arm was bad
ly swollen for several days
Not a day has passed that several
persons with the insects in bottles
have not come to the Academy to
have their pets examined The man-
tis lives on smaller insects such as
flies mosquitoes and gnats Accord j
ing to Dr Skinner the bug is really
valuable The eggs of the mantis are
laid in autumn and hatch in spring
About the last of August the mantis
becomes full grown and lives until

cold weather In size the bugs range
from two to six inches long They
are very peculiar in appearance and
are sometimes called Praying Mantis
Soothsayers and the Prophet Bugs
It is said the Chinese tell their for
tunes from the actions of the insects
The name Praying Mantis comes from
the fact that the insects hold their two
front legs whfch are very short in a
praying position and often work them
rapidly back and forth The most
peculiar parts of the bug are its eyes
and long neck The eyes are like
