The Coming Thing

The Central Maine and the Maine
State fairs have adopted the same
system of awarding premiums on
dairy products, that made the eXhi-
bit at Skowhegan last December the
largest of its kind ever held in the
United States. This was a really re-
markable achievement, and we trust
that those associated with the several
fairs of Somerset county will observe
this extension of the new system with
care. Results are what count, and
the score card award with pro rata
premiums have certainly made good
thus far.

GOOD DEMAND FOR MEN
IN MAINE WOODS
Men Now Getting Ready for Winter
LAUNDERING Operations.

The first men for the seasons OF
1e1O-11 are being sent into the
spruce woods and from now on, the
demand for woodsmen will be steady.
No man in Maine who is able to work
and who wants to, need suffer for
the lack of employment. And in this
respect. at least, the State is better
off than most others in the union.
The men who are now going into
the woods will be busy until Septem-
ber in swamping roads and building
camps and making ready for the
coming season. The lumber crews
themselves will not start in until
that month. Most of them Will go
into the woods between the first and
18th of the month. Owing to the ex-
tremely low price of spruce lumber
there in some uncertainty at present
as to the size of the cut in Name
next winter. 1t Is doubtful, so IL
was said recently If it comes up 10
last seasons total. Nevertheless
many concerns are already planning
their campaigns, have already picked
out the sites of their camps ana
have commenced building them.
Although woodsmen are a trine
scarce just at present there Will De
no lack of them later on. Tne sup
ply, so the employment agents say
will be fully equal to the demand. AS
the summer progresses many men
come into the city from odd 1ops IN
the surrounding country. Most OF the
West Branch driving crew, too, Will
be available in the course OF few
weeks when the drive reaches the
Penobscot boom above Old Town.
One feature of the labor situation
will be welcome news to the aver
age operator. 1t is likely that most
of the crews will be made up OF
Maine and New Brunswick woods
men who are considered the best
that can be obtained. The situation
last season was different. An un-
usually large number of men were
sent into the woods and some of the
camps had to be content with what
they could get. AS consequence,
many of the crews were made up
largely of Polanders.
AS q lumberman in the Maine
spruce woods the Polander Is not a
success. The work requires expert
ence and scarcely any of the Po-
landers had had any. For absolutely
unskilled labor they would give fair
satisfaction but as choppers and
tao u1nd tQndQrQ and
swampers they were almost value
less. Many complaints were re-
ceived by the employment agents
here over the sort of men they were
sending to the camps. But the de-
mand was great and the supply of
experienced woodsmen comparative
ly limited and they had to send Po-
landers or nothing.
This season conditions are differ
ent There will not be so many op-
erations but what there will be good
men enough to fill all the jobs and
few, if any Polanders are likely to
be sent into the woods.
Last seasons experience proved
that fully IS per cent of them are
worthless in the spruce woods" said
one lumberman recently. "They will
do very we'll in a birch operation
where a buck saw is used but for
real numbering they lack both of ex-
perience and the brains to profit by
it.
Most of the hemlock bark crews
have finished now and some of them
have commenced yarding. The poplar
crews are also finishing their sea-
sons work. More men will be COM
ing into the city every day now.
