Hon. GEORGE PottIe of Lewiston.

At the afternoon session the opening
speaker was Hon. George Pottle OF
Lewist on, ne, chairman of the Name
State Board of Assessors.
Mr.. Po:tle spoke on The Gift OF the
Maine Farm to the Country"
He quoted from Former President
Cleveland on the country lawyer. in
opening. and stated that hundred
years ago nine-tenths of the people Of
the United States We're living on farms
but that today only One-thrd are SO
employed The beginning Of the 18th
century has been aptly called the age
of cordwOod. for in those days the
farmer produced nearly everything he
used; but the advent of steam has re-
volutioniZed all that. TIE farmer found
that he must raise something which he
could turn into money. Then form life
became more monotonous and less at
tractive and the drift from the farm to
the city commenced. For more than
50 years ii has continued; yet there was
never time when the product of the
farm was so great Os it is today. When
considering the rapid increase in wealth
and population of the cities we are apt

cultural interests. The cities with all
their wealth are only partly Self-sus-
tanning and depend entirely upon the
prosperity of the rural territory around
them.
He sketched the marvellous growth of
Chicago which IS years ago was a mill
tary post and fur station. Yet great
as Chicago is today it is dependent up
on the farms. the forests and the mines
of the great Northwestern territory
which is tributary and should the day
come that the products of that terri
tory begin to diminish. that day will
the great prestige of Chicago begin to
wane.
MIR. Pottle then took up Boston.
arguing that it is like Chicago, depend
ant upon the farms Of New England
that sustain it's life. Boston said he,
will continue to be the best city in
America only so long as it is sustained
by the best population of our country
throughout this great territory which
is tributary to your city and which has
made its great advancement possible. -
He spoke of the growth in Maine
since it's admission to the union in 1920.
In that year there were no cities in the
state and but few towns of considerable,
size Today it's 20 cities contain 30 per
cent Of it's population and AZ per cent.
of it's valuation. There are 10 towns
with population of over 1000: 35, that
average $500; and 11O that average 400
The remaining towns and plantations
have less than 1000 each. Many of the
latter are only partially settled and a

is a forest. Nearly one-half the total

ships and the greater portion of the
territory is an unbroken forest. Lum.
herring operations give employment tc
thousands but agriculture is still ths
