STOCK RAISING IN MAINE.
Government Official Now investigating Con.
ditions in Eastern Maine.

Bangor, Ne, Oct. 1S.-Prof. Frank
Lamson Scribncr, formerly of Maine, now
head of the division Of agros stology of the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton, is in Chcrryiield, this week investi-
eating, on behalf of the department, the
feasibility of the proposed plan for stock
raising on an extensive scale.
In conversation with Commercial re
porter, Prof. Scribner enthusiastically
talked upon the development of the stock
raising industry in Maine.
In no part of the country he said,
except perhaps in New York, are there
so good opportunities for the raising Dt
the finer grades of cattle and of mutton.
The grasses of Maine for this purpose are
better than in any other state, cxcept
New York, far exceeding the praliCS ul
the West. and while the expense for shel
ter in winter comes in. there are oppor-
tunities for raising such crops as VIII
make good fat producing food for cattle
all winter"
Though unfamiliar with vegetation on
the big tract of $1,000 acres said to be
available for grazing purposes in Wash -
ington county, he said no doubt that tho
grass, as in other parts of Maine, was
exccllenty adapted to be developed for
raising cattle; He thought the idea q
might be carried out here.
Prof. Scribner was in Portland over
Sunday, in consultation with John y.

ter had led Sec. Wilson to direct an i'll

scheme 50 far as il concerned the deVei
opment of the cattle and sheep raising in p
dustry of the State.
Mr.. Scribner has but recently returnC Il
from North Carolina, where experiments
under his charge are going on. His find
ings upon his trip to ChcrrNhcld will be
embodied in Il repOrL to be later prlnte
by the United States department Of aSrI
culture.
In speaking Of See Wilson ana the pro.
posed scheme, Mr.. Scribncr said:
much Interested in this matter of stock
raising in Maine on the ranch system. lie
is a man who is intensely practical an
his earnest belief is that the project is 4
sensible and profitable one.
Prof. Scrihncr referred to the attitude

to be taken by Mr.. Wilson. I'VE AZ
