GRANGES IN TEXAS
VERY ACTIVE
In Promoting Tho Spread Of
t Rural Electrification
1 In Texas, as w>ell as in many other
states, the Grange is cooperating
very heartily with rural electrifica-
tion agencies in extendnig electric
facilities of light, power, etc., into
the rural districts, and a recent en-
actment in that state, which will rap-
idly' ' increase the spread of electritT
privileges in rural sections, has been
largely the result of Grange agita-
tion. Men:hers of both branches of
the "Bexar legislature which-put the
rural electrification hill through were
active members of the Grange, and
when Govenor Allred signed the mea-
sure all- these Grange leaders were
present to witness the interesting
I i vent .together with State Master
ftalph W. Moore, who is proving an
energetic leader in al! phases of ru-
ral progress.
In no tajier s-tate is the Grange
growing morb rapidly than in Texas,
j largely due to the fact that it is in-
teresting itself vigorously in the prob-
lems of the farmer and is paying
j special attention to bringing added
; privileges of convenience and com-
fort to the rural homes of the state.
