THE MILK WAR
Is Again on Between Farmers and the
Maine Dairy Co.

Portland. Me-, May THE milk war
is on again in earnest. This time it is
a fight to the finish between the Maine
Farmers Protective Association and
the Maine Dairy Co. The Maine Farm
ers' Protective Association is an in
corporated body, having a membership
of 115, composed entirely of milk pro-
ducers from different sections of Cum
berland, Androscoggin and Oxford
counties. The Maine Dairy CO. is COM
posed of four prominent members of
the now defunct Milk Dealers Associa-
ton. these being Milton J. Loring,
Bates NJ. Tracy, Daniel Phillips and
w. J. Rowe.
The present struggle was precipitat-
eG by the action of the newly incor-
porated Maine Dairy Co. in refusing
to pay the price for milk agreed upon
by contract last September between
the Milk Dealers Association and the
Maine Farmers Protective Associa-
ton. The price was 4 cents per quart
or IS cents per can, and the agreement
to pay such price was arrived at af-
ter d protracted and tedious contro-
versy which lasted through the whole
month of August. Contracts embOdy-
ing this agreement We're drawn up and
printed but it has developed that they
were never signed, it having been con-
sidered unnecessary, and the verbal
agreement considered binding. When
the new Maine Dairy Co. was formed
the old Milk Dealers Association be-
came disorganized and broke up, and
the new company recently sent out
notices to the producers to the effect
that in some sections after April /, and
in other sections after May /, they
would pay but 35 cents per can for
milk Ahese notices precioitated the
trouble

us to quote from the Clark Pilot Re-

THE election of delegates to the
republican county convention to be
held in this city March "a was a
tame affair. with a few spirited con
tests to relieve the mOnOtOny. There
was no real issue, further than to
know which faction of the party pre-
dominates in the county, and this was
not determined. The vote throughout
the county was small, owing to the
universal Taft sentiment. One thing
was determined. however-the insur-
gents are much stronger than stalwart
leaders had been willing to admit.
With practically no organization the
insurgents carried the townships of
Rosedale, Collins, Berlin. Pleasant,
Lake, Hague, Merton, FoXton, Elrod
and Willow Lakes. A tie is reported
from Mt. Pleasant and the fight was
so fierce in Eden township that the
stalwart leaders at Garden City deem.

to draw the faithful to the polling

held a true expression will be given,
and Mr.. Crawford will receive a large
vote, if not a majority of the votes in

TO "DEMORALIZE" THE PARTY

Therefore it is presumed that the
struggle will rage until then June
primaries) with prospects that it will
become so bitter that at it's close the
republican party in South Dakota will
be thoroughly Observation-Disclosures
ings Press.
And, pray, who has been guilty of
"demoralizing" the republican party
already? Who is to blame for past,
present and what may come in the
future. in the way Of decentralization g?
For ten years under close corpora
ton boss rule wherein the party was
dominated by Senator Kittredge,
Frank Crane and a handful of under
lings the rank and file of the Repub-
lican party asked for legislation which
should place corporation property on
an equal basis of taxation along with
the property of individuals. Other
measures equally as important were
repeatedly introduced in the legisla-
ture only to be killed or pigeon-holed.
At last. two years ago the rank and
file of the party headed by Governor
COe !. Crawford and Congressman
Philo Hall went before the people as
suring them that should the republi-
"a declare by their votes that the
affairs of state be placed in different
hands the much needed legislation
would be passed. The result was es-
founding and emphatic. Resolutions
were passed by the state convention
declaring that the legislation asked
for should be placed upon the statute
books. Every one of those pledges

property is now bearing its just pro-
portion Of taxation. in fact all cor
poration property is being justly dealt
with and the private holder of pro-
perry cannot fail to appreciate the
work of the present administration in
their behalf not only in this matter
but i'm many other ways.
All this has been brought about
Notwithstanding the fact that the ring
rule-orruin faction has attempted to
block every progressive step taken.
FalsehoOd, trickery, deception, attacks
upon personal character have been
common weapons of those who oppose
majority rule. Instead of accepting
their defeat--instead of abiding by the
result of the majority-instead of be-
ing willing to submit to the rebuke
administered by an indignant people,
the deposed bosses have kept up the
fight and by their own admission pro-
pose to continue the struggle, until
the republican party Is d~emoralized."
How any honest man, with a true pur-
pose in his heart. can sanction such
methods is beyond human understand
ing.

QUERIES AND ANSWERS

Q. When is the best time to plant
strawberries?
Ans. In spring only. Order plants
early in the winter as possible, and
your order will be booked when it
arrives and filed in turn from select
ed stock. Enrich your soil where po-
tatoes will grow.
Q. Would moi apple trees shipped
from Iowa or even further south be-
come acclimated if planted in Mime
sofa?
Ans. Yes, but would be likely to die
while becoming acclimated.
Q. Why should not we buy apple
trees where we can buy them the
cheapest, whether in or out of our
state?
Ans. Because the nursery men OF
Minnesota and Dakota are better &C.
quainted with the soil and climatic
conditions of their respective states.
They have learned to graft the apple
tree so that it will root upon it's own
stock. thus making it much harder.
and in fact the only safe tree to grow.
@. Why do you leave the strawberry
mulch between your strawberry rows
during he summer season?
Ans. Because it furnishes moisture
to the plants, and when there are late
frosts in the spring this straw can be
used to owe the plants and protect
hem for several days, after which re-
place the straw between rows. which
makes a clean path to get down on to
PICK berries. Leave enough of the
straw to keep berries clean.
