The first grange in Clarion county was organized in 1874. In less than four years there were twelve subordinate granges and a Pomona, or county grange, within this county; the number of members was about six hundred. In 1879 the patrons organized a mutual fire insurance company, insuring only farm property. This order has taught the farmers to reduce expenses, both individual and corporate, to buy less and produce more, to sell less in bushels and more on hoof, to discountenance the credit and mortgage systems, to avoid litigation, and politically, to let the office seek the man, and not the man the office.
