Rural New Englaud's Awakening.
fAdyertising and Selling

The tide OF brain, Drawn and money tina
has been flowing westward for decades i
setting back toward New England in al
irresistible undertow.
For instance. in December, the Boston
| office OF the Boston 4 Maine railroad re
ceived thirtytwo inquiries from polnt'
west of Chicago for New England farms
| Tn in Vermont the commissioner OF agri
| culture received during the last two month
requests for New England farms from
practically every state in the union. Multi
| plv these by the hundreds of inquiries
reaching other agencies in each OF our New
England states and decide for yourself
whether or not the undertow is coming
eastward
Alphabetically the actual yields have
proved that the east has climate, soil and
facilities for producing as good as or better
crops than the west The additional fea-
ture of having the consumer in the back
ward. so to speak, places the New England
farmer at great advantage over his west
ern brother, who produces on higher
priced land and transports his product 1000
miles across the country. Per acre the east
beats the west in yield year in and year
out. Therefore it is simply business pro-
position
Five years ago the New England Rome
stead conceived the idea of running bet
terfarming special train through New Eng
land. 1t made arrangements with the Bos'
ton & Maine railroad, which furnished the
equipment free, and the agricultural col
lege provided exhibits and speakers This
train was four weeks running through New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and
Maine. About 10000 persons were en-
Unused as direct result. This was big,
progressive and enterprising step forward
for New England.
Then came the greater New England con-
ference at Boston, at which were represent
ed all the New England governors, con-
gressmen and public officials representing
industrial and agricultural enterprises, 1t
was veritable love feast for New England
unity and progress One direct result of
that conference was the great New Eng
land fruit show held at Boston last October,
which was admittedly the most compre-
hensve agricultural event ever featured IN
New England.
There it was that New England showed
fruit superior to the famed product OF the
west and showed it by the carload. Now
preliminary arrangements are in hand TOR
a big New England corn exposition to be
held next November

The device consists of cheap magic

merchant to change mis- sidewalk dis.

write the ad. on clear glass slide, with
a glass marking pencil, and put the
slide into the magic lantern.
The lantern was fastened lust above
the glass on the inside of the window.
which made it difficult for the passers.
by to see what made the peculiar sign

each night so the sidewalk would be
darker, making the sign show up in a
brilliant manner.

Reforestation of Maintains

During the past few months 1850
acres of denuded forest lands of the
Hello district of the Coast mountains
in Oregon have been replanted by the
United States forestry service. Sew
eral thousand additional acres will be
reforested this fall, and it is the plan
of the forestry service to replant all
of the burned-over areas of the Coast
mountains and other Oregon reserves,
as soon as possible.
A force of forty men were able to
seed the 1850 acres in the Hello district
in six weeks, the total estimated cost
of the reforestation being two dollars
and half an acre. The seeds may be
purchased in seed stores at a cost of
a dollar and forty cents a pound, though
it is found more economical in some
cases for the forest rangers and guards
to gather and thresh the seeds them
selves. The seeds were planted in
