THE Country Town as a Country
Parson sees it" was the theme of Rev.
J. \. Pardee of Bolton at the recent
monthly meeting in Boston of the Uni
tartan Club, and the picture he pre-
scented was in gratifying contrast to
recent magazine literature on the sub
iect. He finds that the farming re-
gions are not in decadence, that home
life is much improved and marriage
more common than in the big cities.
He said: ''The moral and physical
health are vastly better in the country
than they were 40 years ago. The
modern farmer has not, as some sup
pose, fallen behind in his intellectual
equipment. If you break through the
crust of reserve, you will find in the
society and the homes of the farmers
degree of intelligence and breadth of
information that will sometimes sur
prise you." 80. ''The country children
are better educated, and the education
itself, including the teachers, has been
improved. Many of the country schools
have been revolutioniZed in the past
dozen years. The institution known as
the grange is doing an important work
for the elevation of the country COM
munity." In like vein were the re-
marks of the next speaker, Hon. James
w. Stockwell, who is the former Sec
rotary of the Massachusetts, State
Board of Agriculture. 'Much Of the
so-called decadence of the hill towns"
he said, sis due to changed methods"
Various authorities were then cited,
and the speaker condemned the trust,
saying that 'as farmers we shall meet
the issue forced upon us, not by invec-
tive, but by sober, wise and concerted
action. 1t is burden not for New
England alone, but on every other sec
ton of the country. We hope that
Congressman Babcock's position that
such monopolies shall not be main
tanned at the expense of the people
will prevail. Politicians and paid
economists cannot fool the people all
the time. All these are hindrances to
the country town, yet its present is
prosperous, and its future is assured.
In the last decade the value of our
agricultural products has increased 81
per cent. The indications are that
there will be greater and more prom
Using prosperity"

While Aroostook county is famous
for its potato crop, Kennebec county
claims the banner this year as an apple
growing section, having just picked the
biggest apple crop on record. Several
orchardists have picked from 800 to
1900 barrels, and there are scores with
from 50 to 800 barrel lots. Many trees
are reported to have yielded from six
to ten barrels each. These are all win
ter apples, mostly Baldwins; The az
pie king of Kennebec is Richard G:
Plaisted of Gardiner. The product OF
his orchard this year is 5000 barrels.
W. P. Anterior of Hallowell, whose
orchard is located near the granite
quarry, has 1900 barrels: me 1ru u
well colored and free from worms. 1t
is now all harvested, the most of it be-
ing stored in cellars.

In these days of corruption and mis-
rule in the large cities it is reassuring
to turn to the record of John Weaver
who has been mayor of Philadelphia
since last April. In six months he has
driven policy out Of town, though the
business done formerly amounted to
50, 900, 900, and there was an annual
protection fund of $175, 900. Pool rooms
and other forms of gambling have also
been eradicated. He has stopped police
blackmail and taken the force out of
politics. He insists that all public con-
tracts shall be awarded without favor
itism, he is encouraging new trunk lines
to enter the city, and he has effectually
broken up the system of levying trib-
ute on school teachers for positions by
sending four school directors to the
penitentiary. That is a pretty good
record.

At the recent meeting of the Maine
Pomological Society in Auburn Presi-
dent Gilbert said that the exhibition OF
apples could not be beaten in the en-
tire world" He believed it was good
investment for man to buy SO an
acre land and plant apple trees. The
markets were good and the industry, If
it could be called such, was paying one,
a single acre in many cases bringing in
from 500 to $500.

Aroostook potatoes are neither small
nor few in hill. 1t is figured that the
October freight receipts of the B. & A.
on the single line of potatoes footed up
about $4,000 The price is now advanc-
ing and has reached $3.50 for Green
Mountains and Hebrons. As an evil
dence of the wide reputation of the
Aroostook tubers an exchange notes
the fact that s. barrels of seed potatoes
were recently shipped to customer In
South Africa. But Aroostook has other
claims to its title of the Garden of
Maine. The Aroostook Pioneer says:
Joseph Smith of Bridgewater raised
the past season, on about two acres OF
land, seventy-eight bushels of number
one blue stem wheat, which he sold at
the Houlton Roller Flour Mill for one
dollar and five cents per bushel, amount
ing to over forty dollars per acre. No
other kind of grain on the same ground
would have brought as much money
and at the same time left the young
grass which grew with the wheat in
as good condition. Wheat raising is
profitable in AroostOok, the average
yield per acre being more than double

The Brunswick Record presents some
extracts from the Brunswick Telegraph
of so years ago, including the report Of
meeting of citizens "held to consider
the Importance of ornamenting our vii
lage with shade trees" The plan
adopted by a committee appointed at
the meeting:was this They call on clti
zen for subscription and if he is will
ing to pay five dollars that entities him
to four trees, to be planted on his prem
ises or elsewhere. Certain of the pub
lie lots the committee was to attend to.
The good work then inaugurated speaks
for itself to-day in the tree-shaded
streets of Brunswick: and the Record
well says:
The public spirit shown in Brunswick
half century ago has proved benefit
to the town ever since. A great many
of the magnificent trees that grace the
Mall, and the streets, and add to the
beauty of the town, are heritage to
the present generation. They should
be venerated as memorials, and to the
young they should serve as object les
sons in civic duty. The town will al
ways need men of public spirit, men
who will contribute to the improvement
of the town. Brunswick is we'll sup
piled with shade trees, thanks to the
citizens of former years, but opportun-
tiles for the exercise of unselfsh effort
in behalf of the town will always exist.
