Competitor VS.. Consumer.

A correspondent Of the Country Gentle
man sees improvement in the outlook
for the farmers from the indications that
the crop acreage in this country will not
In the next few years keep pace with the
city and village population. From census
statistics he finds that during the eighth
and ninth decades this nation was able
to bring under cultivation sixth more
land than our ancestors did in 277 years
Assuredly it is easy to see how compett-
ton in tho raising Of agricultural pro-
ducts brought the prices to the lowest
level. During the past decade, however,
the competitors of the farmer increased
the preceding ten years. He deduces the
conclusion that the customers Of the farm
or are increasing now, ten times as fast
as the competitors. In conclusion it zap
pears that between 1870 and 1880 there
were added nearly as many farms as were
opened during 257 years prior to 1850 that
the ten year rate of farm increase rose
from 30 per cent. In the war decade to
nearly 81 per cent in the next ten years,
to fall as low as the proportion of 4. 4 per
cent. during the years that have passed
since the taking of the last census. The
rapidity with which the creation of new
farms, and competitors of existing farm
ers, has diminished is a most inspiring one,
and from this time on we may expect the
rate to decrease even more rapidly, be-
cause of the absence of readily available
tillage acres. If any reliance can be
placed upon these showings we are rapidly
retracing the course which brought low
prices, and the return journey will be all
the more pleasant, as it is likely to be &C
companied by constant enhancement OF
prices for soil products as we'll as for the
soil itself -

The report that horse steaks are being
sold for beef in tho city of Chicago calls
to mind tho letter written last June by
tho secretary of the national department
of agriculture to Mayor Hopkins of Chica-
20, calling attention to the current report
that meats which the meat inspectors
condemned as unfit for shipment abroad
were turned onto the home markets
for consumption. There is no evidence
that this condition which Secretary Nor
ton complained of has been In any way
improved, so that the chances are that
the meat eaters of the western metropolis
arc mourning as great danger from dis
ease infected beef and pork as from horse
meat, Under the existing law the meat
inspector has no authority or control over
the meats, they say, other than to prohibit
their shipment to foreign country. In
deed the chief inspector at Boston is
quoted as saying that he had been In
structed not to interfere with the ship
ment for home markets Of pork con-
demned by him on account of trichinosis.
II this be SO there assuredly is wrong
to be righted and the sooner the better.
Already a number of the states are too
lax with respect to tuberculosis. They
cannot afford to allow diseased meat to be
sold within their borders when 1t Is
known to be diseased. II there be OBJ

A More Fitting Selection Could Not b. Mad
Locate the Bangor and Aroostook r. R. Cos
Repair Shops in Aroostook.
(Aroostook Republican,


The building of the Bangor and ARGOS
took Railroad, one of the greatest rail-
road enterprises ever inaugurated in New
England, is the practical result of an
idea of the president of the road. Hon.
Albert A. Burleigh, an Aroostook man.
made possible by the liberal, far-sighted
policy of Aroostook county, whereby its
people, having already invested nearly
$500, 900 IN the road, have recently de-
cided to invest 1928, 900 more.
In view Of the fact that the road would
not have been built but for the liberal aid
voted by the people of this county, and be-
cause the people have grandly and loyalty
responded to every call made by the COM
pany,it would seem as if, when the repair
shops Of the company are located, that the
benefits Of location will be bestowed upon
one of the many deserving towns of
Aroostook county.
The interests of the B. &. A. r. r. and
the interests of Aroostook county are
now so interviewer that an injury to one
is an injury to both.
The locating of the repair shops in
Aroostook will be a prominent factor in
the continual growth of the town wherein
they are located, and as such. must re-
suit in corresponding increase in the
business of the road.
The arguments in favor of locating the
companys repair shops in Aroostook ale
self-evident and need no public expires
sion.
The Republican believes that the people
Of the county should unite in request to
the b. & A. r. r. Company to locate
their shops in the county, and it also be-
lieves that the company will cheerfully
comply with this request.
Presque Isle Star Herald: 1t Is not
wholly boom of potato houses, stores
and dwellings and new industries, that
the railroad has brought Aroostook. The
churches and schools are also showing
signs CT prosperous activity. New school
houses are springing up, and new
churches are being organized. Both the
Baptist and Methodist societies are wide
awake to the importance of securing van
tage ground in such villages as Blaine and
Mars Hill, and in Littleton the Methodists
are preparing to erect a tabernacle and
other necessary buildings. The proposed
tabernacle is to be 100 feet long, 20 feet
wide with wings on each side 20x50 feet,
the whole to cost $500. A boarding
house 26x50 feet is to be built, also a
stable 24X50 feet.
