A SHOE MACHINERY WAR.

A shoe machinery war is about to begin.
Thomas G. Plant of Boston, formerly shoe
operative and now one of the ten largest shoe
manufacturers in the country is equipping his
factories at Jamaica Plains, Mass, with a new
and complete outfit of shoe machinery which
he himself has patented and developed at vari-
GUS machine shops he operates throughout the
State, and will enter into competition with the
United Shoe Machinery Co. of Beverly, Mass,
which now has practical monopoly in that
line. 1t is claimed that some of the Plant
machines are speedier and that they can be
furnished to manufacturers on more advan-
tageous terms. Some of the more important
machines are based on machines owned by the
United. the patent rights of which have ex-
pired. 1t is not claimed that the Plant
machines will effect any radical change or
cause shoes to be cheaper to the consumer. Mr..
Plant by using his own machines in his ten
factories will save 100000 year in royalties.
Mr.. Frank W. Twombly, who has been with the
United Shoe Machinery Co., has a fine position
with the Plant company.

Seed Improvement Association to be
Organized.

Next week there will be held in the city of
Waterville, meeting of farmers interested in
the Improvement of the crops of the State
through the selection, breeding and distribu-
ton of superior strains of seeds. While it is
not expected that the meeting will be large
one, yet 1t will be representative in its charac-
ter, having men who are especially interested
in the improvement of different kinds of farm
crops present.
1t is planned to hold the meeting in the city
government rooms, City Hail. at 10 o'clock in
the forenoon, Tuesday. January 25th This will
allow ample opportunity for the people from
different parts of the State to reach Water
vile on the morning train in season for the
meeting.
This work is the most important that has
ever been undertaken in the State, and while
the beginning may be small, yet its effect in
few years will be far reaching and will benefit
thousands of people who do not identify them
selves with the active work of the association
Every farmer who is interested in the i'm
provement of farm crops is given special in
vitation to be present at the meeting. An
organization will be effected and plans made
for carrying on the work for the coming year.
Anyone desiring to become member of the
association who finds it impossible to be present
at the meeting for organization, should write
to State Dairy Instructor, Leon S. Merrill, at
Augusta, Maine, stating that fact, so that their
names may be added to the charter member
ship list.
Remember the date the place of meeting
and the purpose Identify yourself with this
progressive move and help make the State
what it ought to be along agricultural lines
