You might want to add the org repo if you want to get the latest version of org. I have the following in my init.el file (org in addition to melpa):

(when (>= emacs-major-version 24)

(require 'package)

(package-initialize)

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t)

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)

)
