The Boston Herald has asked the ques-
ton: ''What is the matter with Boston?'
The Commercial Bulletin of Boston an
swers this question the past week in one
word, Boston"
What is the matter with Waldo County,
if there be any matter" can be answered
the same way, "Waldo County,
Waldo County has the soil and the
natural advantages; progressive, earnest
and energetic movement of the people
themselves is all that is necessary.
BUT Waldo County is already awaken
ing from its slumbers. Nearly if not
quite double the acreage of potatoes will
be planted this year and we hope as much
grain sown. And this is only beginning.
Another year doubtless the acreage will
be largely increased if not doubled again.
Unsatisfactory results from farming in
Waldo County in the past are not due to
the farms but to the way we have handled
them. The merchant or manufacturer is
obliged to work 313 days out of the year
anu STUDY MS business HlgHIS DeSiueo.
Farming can be and should be broadened
out in this County. Farmers should study
the scientific principles of farming and
apply them. The yield per acre can be
largely increased and in many instances
doubled. If the farmers of Waldo County
will study their business and farming is
business as much as anything else-as
persistently as the merchant or manufac-
turer does his, and work as hard, Waldo
County can make a name for itself second
to no other county in the State.
Farms in Aroostook are selling as high
as $4,000 and over. This can be dupl-
Gated here Instead of our real estate going
begging and our young men leaving the
towns, people will be fiocking in from
other sections, buying our land and in
creasing our population, business and
wealth Money can be made at farming
in this county as well and as easily as
elsewhere. Farm life is no longer drudg-
cry but pleasure to him who goes at it
for all there is in it. Nearly all work is
now done with teams and machinery

say for you better than that you are hon

The aid which you will thus receive is
proportionate to the standing in the com

of the affair. From the top of the hill is
beautiful view of the city of Belfast, of Penob-
scot Bay and the adjacent islands. The piano.
rama is lovely enough to attract attention on
chill April day and it will some day be written
up and recorded as one of many such places in
Waldo county. So this might have been
source of attraction to the man. Then at the
foot of the hill lives Chas. L. Austin, who with
gun and hounds is a familiar figure in the
proper hunting seasons and who is popularity
supposed, even now at 60 odd years, to get up
in the morning and tramp ten or fifteen miles
before breakfast to the bay of the hounds
usually bringing in pelt or two. 1t is averred
that this is one of the means that he takes to
stir his blood and prepare himself for his elo-
quent pleas before the Hon Justices of the
Supreme Court which have won him much
! local fame. But eloquent as he may be as his
own attorney in the legal arena, he sci1tiates
more gems of electric imaginative ability in
private conversation, especially with young
people of curious and inquiring minds So
what is more natural than the idea that our
friend Levi should have become fascinated by
those weird tales and stirring accounts by
Charles, the hunter of large game in the fast
nesses of the South Brooks woods and hills.
So his friends need worry no more in regard to
Levi. While some of his village friends may
sadly miss him, still he is probably all right
and is doubtless on the trail of dear which he
may appropriate at the proper season. There
is no doubt that it is dear which he is stalking,
and that his eye is keen and his cad level, so
that no further attention need be paid to the
matter

What is the Matter With Waldo County?

Farm houses can be fitted with practically
all the conveniences of city homes.
Instead of tons of feed we should be
hauling home tons of fertilizer, raising
our feed and thereby enriching and in
creasing the fertility and prcductiveness
of the land.
We need branch electric railroads to
parts where hauling distance handicaps
development, and demands should be
made of the Maine Central railroad to
build these lines. When the people of the
county show disposition to broaden out
and produce business the railroad will be
obliged to heed this call or the people will
take it in hand themselves. These branch
lines would soon become valuable and
paying freight feeders to the main line
Travelling by the farmers would also be
stimulated, for easy access to the railroad
would then be within reach. The towns
themselves, if necessary, could afford to
assist in the initial cost of such roads for
the benefit and additional valuation which
the railroad would bring to them.
The farms of this county should double
and treble in value and be profitable at
that. Talk, work and act and this can be
brought about and speedily.
The City National Bank of Belfast is
responsible for this article 1t believes
what it says, practises what it breaches
and knows whereof lit speaks. 1t is
working along lines of progress and the
advancement of Waldo County. We are
at present erecting a new building which
will be credit and addition to Belfast
and the County.
Its directorate is composed of live
Waldo County men interested in the sue
cess of Waldo county and every indvid-
ual in it.
1t is bringing money and business into
the county, not gathering up money and
sending it out to be used for the benefit
of other sections.
