Commissioner Gilman is full of en-
thuslasm over the prosperity of the
farmers of Maine. On a recent trip
about the country, he found that eggs
are being sold at the door to collectors
for 10 cents dozen where last year they
brought but II cents; potatoes bring Is
cents bushel and oats 60 cents, both of
which are higher than last year. Every
product OF farm and garden is bringing
a good price. The farmers are planning
to plant larger acreage than ever be
fore, and to raise more stock of all
kinds. This means general prosperity,
for when agriculture is successful and
prosperous, it influences all the rest of
the world.-Maine Farmer
