Postmaster John P. Murphy has re- ceived a eircular letter from the post. In view of the high prices of food products now prevalent throughout the country, it i8 desired that you adver- tise and advocate in every way practi- cable the facility offered by the parcel post for the shipment of farm products directly from the producer to the con- sumer. Investigate thoroughly this matter as it affects your city and be prepared ito advise patrons and civic organiza- tions im'an inte it and helpful man- ner. Compare prices received by the farmers within the eecond zone of your office for butter, eggs, fresh meat and other farm prod: paid these commodities by your patrons. The difference is the present cost to the consumer in your city of bringing these food products from the farm to the table. Compare this cost on various articles with the parcel post charge on identical shipments (both in small lots and in b0-pound packages). This difference, in each case, 18 what may be saved on a com- modity by those who go to the trouble of making an arrangement for securing food supplies by parcel post. Farmers within the first and second zones should be inspired by the al- most unlimited opportunity to expand the business of producing and selling directly to the consumers in your city butter, eggs and such meat and vege- table products as your investigation Shows ca nbe shipped in that way with a sufficlent margin of profit.

When about 25 years of age, he came to this country with his uncle, Benjamin Oldfield, just previ- ous to the Civil war. Mr. Oldfield was drafted but was fortunate enough to find a substitute. When he first came to this country he resided in New Jer- sey for a short while and from there he came to Norwich where he has since resided except for a short period of @me. Mr. Oldfield was a pattern mak- er by trade and he entered the em- ployment of C. B. Rogers and Co. Later he organized the Norwich Suspender Co., which located on the East Side. which had a factory where the present Reliance Worsted Co. is locat- ed on the Past Side. Mr. Oldfield sold out his interests to Isaac Johnson who moved the business ot Greeneville on White stret. Later he bought out the East Side Silk mill and conducted that business for a number of years. Mr. Oldfield built the silk miill on Me- charic street.

Five official meetings have been held. The first one on Jan. 13, when the board was orzanized by appointing L. H. Healey chairman and J. A. Sher- wood clerk. At this meeting the usual allowance was voted the state lecturer for use in his department for tfis coming year. The chairman was also instructed to secure new sashes for our worthy master and state lecturer. It was also voted to continue Brother C. E. Staples as special or- ganizing deputy for New London county. Feb. 15. The question of holding our next state session was" thorough- ly discussed at this meeting, and the worthy master was instructed to ar- range for the holding of our next ses- “sion in the city of New Haven; pro- viding suitable hotel and hall facili- ties could be made by the chamber of commerce. 5 On Feb. 29 the most important meet- ing of the whole year was held with 2il the members present. The worthy master was authorized to appear with council, if necessary, before the state commission appointed to suggest changes, if needed, and to codify the tax laws of the state. Another important question consid- ered at this meeting was the position which we shouid take regarding the izht between the contratcors and the producers as to the elimination of the so-called “Leased car system” for the transportation of milk. This was the vote that the state grange appropri- ate a sum equal to 50 per of all moneys raised by the several Connec- ticut dairy as‘!ocoiaunnx Sald sum 500. not to exceed ® July 10. At this meeting it was voted that we accept the invitation of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce to hold out nmext annual meeting in the city of Norwich. In this -invitation they agreed to furnish all necessary halls for the holding of meetings and the conferring of degrees. Stated that they believed that satisfactory hotel facilities could be secured and that the members of the chamber would open their houses for the lodging of delegates, not otherwise provided for. All of which they are now making good. A communication from the New York State Grange Cooperative Asso- ciation regarding the purchasing of fertilizer was read and by vote refer- red to the patrons exchange. The fifth and last meeting was held on Dec. 18 when the only action before the committee was the ratification of the mileage allowance made to su bordinate lectures as per announce- ments on program for this meeting. During the year four granges have come to be owners of halls, and in accordance with vote of this granse we have presented Easton, Cheshire, Morris and Wolf Den with the resu- lation flag for thelr grange homes. Potent Factor in Legislation. Your state grange during the session of our last legislature was recognized as being the most potent factor in all legislation pertaining to the needs of the country resident. A great part of the time of the secretary of this com- mittee was given to the work. Brother F. E. Duffy, chairman of the legislative commitice, deserves all the “Thank You” we can bestow upon him for his unceasing effort to have favorable action taken upon those bills in which we were so much interested. It did cost something. You can not do these things unless you are will- ing to at least pay the expenses of those who are in the woi I am afraid some of you do not understand some of the things that your legisla- tive comittee accomplished. The most important bills in which we were interested were those relating to tax- ation. You will recall that at the be- ginning of the last legislature the pro- posal was to put over a flat two mills state tax. A tax which would have rested the heaviest upon all farm committees, which rendered such ficient aid, ittee proposed stat of a mill and in other wayy secured 00D ests pay their share of taxation. This justment of taxation made a dir- [ fererice of $1100 to our town of Wood- stock. You delegates from other towns can figure out what it means to you. An attempt to change these laws of taxation will without doubt be is work the careful attention and consideration as T ow nglana. fion, which n the New an¢ wase made against the “Leased Car” system, the state grange was “ever there.” Your state master and the chalrman of your executive committee attended all the hearings before the m: on both in commerce commissi and Washington. The :‘umnm ey e Garry, the Boston Store, and others have contributed liberally toward our splendid hospitality, be it Resolved, That this meeting extend its hearty appreciation of the favors extended to it and be it further Resolved, That a copy of these res- olutions be sent to each of the above named parties and also that a copy be placed upon our minutes. An interesting talk on Farming was delivered by Mr. Thompson of Maine and Walter F. Lester, secretary of the New London County Muttial Fire In- surance company, spoke along mutual insurance lines. 4 FAVOR UNIVERSAL PEACE. State Grange Endorses Motions National Peace League. of At the afternoon session several im- portant resolutions were passed which placed the State Grange on record as suporting important actions in state and country. p= J. Arthur Sherwood, president of the Western Connecticut Milk Producers’ Association introduced a resolution which favored uniform inspection and uniform régulations governing _the production and marketing of dairy products in this state which was passed. A resolution opposing any change or amendment in the taxation laws which would prove detrimental to ag- ricultural interests in this state_ was presented by F. E. Duffy of West Hartd. A resolution commneding the legislative committee to make a care- ful study and consideration of the dog laws reiating to sheep was passed. The state grange went on record as favoring universal peace when they endorsed the motives of the National ‘Peace League in the establishment of a National Peace Council. Another resolution passed against liquor traffic in this state. “The following legisiative committee was appointed: F. E. Duffy of West Hartford; H. J. Brockett of North Haven; B. C| Patterson of Hartford. Each Pomona was appointed an ex- officio of the state legisalative com- mittee. The basket of lucious fruit which was on the table of the state Pomona_at the convention was sent to Mrs. Ida W. Davis of Collinsville, who was un- able to attend the convention owing #o illness. Mrs. Davis is the state Po- mona. Accompanying the fruit was a suitable resolution of sympathy. Appreciate Norwich Hospitality The state grange passed a resolution extending thanks to the Chamber of Commerce of Norwich, the Boy Scouts, hotels of the city, Boston store for the beautiful flowers and many other who in any way assisted towards the welfare and pleasure of the state grange. One of the remarkable feature of Thursday’s_session was the action of the state body, when no votes were recorded against the endorsement of woman suffrage which has already has been endorsed by the National Grang The following resolution was intro- duced through the efforts of Mrs. W. J. Bartlett of Putnam: iereas; Resoluions in favor of Equal Suffrage were reaffirmed and endorsed by over-whelming vote of the National Grange at it 50th An- ;lull Session, November, 1916, as fol- ows: * “Resolved; That the National Grange reaffirm its unqualified endorsement of woman suffrage and urge all State Granges to take similar action. That the National Grange endorss and support the movement to secure universal suffrage by amendment of the Federal Constitution. That the legislative committee be in- structed and empowered to take charge of the campaign work for woman suf- frage on behalf of the National Grange, this committee to make every effort to co-operate with all other bodies working for the same end.” And Whereas; the State Grange of Connecticut, in common with all other State Granges, is thus emphatically urged to take a positive stand upon this question of national importance; therefore be it, Resolved, That wé, the members of the Connecticut State Grange sembled in Norwich, January, 1517, hereby endorse the above resolutions of the National Grange and be it further, - Resolved, That a copy of this reso. lution be sent to the Worthy Secre- tary of the National Grange. First_the resolution was presented at the Wednesday morning session and was referred to the committee on the good of the order of which Ard Wel- ton of Plymouth was acting chairman. Mrs. W. J. Bartlett of Putnam, Prof. Charles Wheeer of the Connecticut Agricultural College and Rev. H. A. Morton of the Deep River Grange and others spoke highly in favor of en: dorsement and at the Thursday after- noon session the resolution was pre- sented for consideration by Chairman ‘Welton who said that the committee on the good of the order recommended it_unanimously. When put to a vote was -g;_l::t t%l!ovflnl‘ resolution was also mr%flm ever co:"n‘:,to the dwvg; u!a-olvtd. That we are opposed to e the city the saving which is effected by parcel post shipment. Farmers must be brought to understand that the city customer in dealing with them by mail foregoes the advantages of credit, personal inspection of g00ds and immediate delivery, and that he naturaily cannot be expected to deal bp rarcel post unless he can be as- sured of better products at less price. Excellent arrangements may often be made between individual consumers or co-operative buying clubs in the city and country storekeepers who re- ceive farm produce by barter or pur- chase. Prices unger these arrange- ments may be fio higher than those established under direct arrangements with farmers, and there is more assur- ance of continuous supply and stan- dard quality. You may secure valua- ble assistance in reaching the atten- tion of the country storekeepers and individual farmers as well by com- municating with some of the fourth class postmasters in your vicinity. ‘The city consumers who are patrons of your office should be impressed with the great advantages that may be se- cured from a satisfactory arrangement with a reliable farfher. under which food supplies wiil be received at reg- ular intervals in fresh condition and at reasonable prices. They should be encouraged to persist in the effort to make these arrangements and not to b ediscouraged by one or more at- tempts in which the farmer communi- cated with is unable to give the ser- vicg desired.
