Stricken Through Deforestation.

a leading scientist after careful
study of the streams of Maryland, in
which his research on the subject
covered d period of 40 years reaches
The conclusion that the streams have
shrunk in volume during that time at
least 80 per cent. The reason
ascrbed is the destruction of the for
ests which once held back the mois-
ture and increased the precipitation
Observation of the streams shows
that the amount of rain per year is
of the denudation of the mountain
slopes
The results of this shrinkage in rain
fall have been followed out through
the harmful affect on the farm crops,
the impoverishing of the soil, the
deleterious influence upon apples and
the general deterioration of the whole
state, as we'll as the danger which
threatens the water supply of the GEN.
.eTS III pOpuiatlOH.
In Maryland's case the remedy sug-
gested was the planting of trees,
though it was acknowledged that
such remedy would be very expen-
sive and that in some cases irrigation
must be resorted to before the trees
would grow, but it was deemed that
such a program would pay in the long
run. The problem which Maryland
faces at this time is the problem
| which every state must face If the
trees are cut off. 1t is unfortunate
for Maryland that these conditions
prevail but it will be fortunate for
other states if they profit by her mis-
| fortune

SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

A boy is awfully young when any,
thing his mother says scares him.
A mother who isn't willing to be i'm

When woman goes to call upon an
other woman the latter thinks she is
bound, by courtesy, to tell her visitor
some gossip before she leaves.
If there is anything that disgusts the
people more than the spectacle of a
girl chasing a man it is the fact that
the man does not object to being chas-
ed.
No woman past 40 should own a
chafing dish. Any one that age who
doesn't know that a cob or coal fire is

cooking.

Editorial Comment.
What Goes With a Farm.
tAmerican Cultivator.)

(AHlCI iCeiIl ullIN -
After reading a highly colored west
ern booklet quoting farm land in the
hundreds of dollars per acre, and or
chards in the thousands of dollars per
acre, one returns with new interest to
the recent statement of a prominent
Boston real estate man that nowhere
else can a man get so much land for
his money as in the Northeastern
states, especially in those of New Eng
land. He believes that during the next
ter years this section will have quite a
boom in the demand for its undeVelop-
ed land near steam and electric lines
The bargains are here; serviceable
farm buildings at low prices, with
plenty of good farm land free by way
of good measure But except in re-
mote localities. farms are selling high
er than thev were ten years ago when
the writer first called attention to the
beginning of the rise in value of farm
property in the Northeast. Farm bar
gains are already a thing of the past
in the West. They will not last many
years more in the East.
The purchaser of a farm in new
country buys only the raw land; it
means time, money and hardship to
make an income paving. livable home
on such land. But when buying an
older farm there is more included than
the clearing, fencing, breaking in, tree
planting, drainage and putting up
buildings. He who buys an old farm
buys also into good markets, schools,
churenes, amusements, and, if he
choose wisely. he may secure the best
class of country neighbors in the world.
There is more in a farm than is shown
by the color of the sail.

on the $4,000, 600 owed and there is a
balance of s2,50e,0OO on hand. The
budget for the coming year amounts
70 s29.6OO,00O which is something over
$500, 600 less than the estimated re-
ceipts.
Few nations are doing better than
this and nearly all the smaller nations
are not caring for their finances near
ly as well. 1t must be remembered
too that this financial showing has
been made while the government has
been advancing in the establishment
of modern government machinery and
other improvements absolutely neces-
sary for the public welfare. 1t is
pointed out that Cuban sanitary con-
ditions have been improved so that
the death rate last year was only 1T
a thousand compared with 16 thou
sand in the United States. lnVestiga-
ton shows that this is the lowest
death rate in the world
The sugar industry is increasing
very rapidly, each years crop creating
new record, and yet Cuba can safe
ly continue to increase her crop year
by wear because there is a certain
market for it in the United States.
We are consuming all of our domestic
crop, nearly all the Cuban crop and
last year imported nearly half mil
lion tons from other countries. That
places the Cuban crop in competition
with that from other countries rather
than in competition with that raised
in America. Cuba made fine show
ing in tobacco raising last year and
the raising of fruit also contributed
largely to the nations wealth.
This optimistic statement from Cuba
is particularly gratifying, coming as
it does close upon the heels Of rather
adverse reports from travellers, who,
while doubtless honest in their con-
victions. did not have the opportunity
to ascertain all the facts.

"Made In New England"


know that New England is the .
headquarters in a thousand lines.
They have forgotten it if they ever
knew. That fact alone, spread
broadcast, would do your section
incalculable good. Stamp
Made in New England mark on
every article that leaves your
mills. Paint it on your shipping
cases; paste it on your packages;
plaster the country with it. Make
it your slogan and back it with
such merit that Made in New
England will be a synonym for
made right, distributed right and
sold right
This suggestion was made by Erman
J. Ridgway in his speech before the
Boston Chamber Of Commerce and
the Pilgrim Publicity Association at
their joint dinner held in Boston last
Friday night. Five hundred business
men of New England heard Mr..
Ridgway and other speakers urge the
value of intelligent advertising to
New England as a community, as
we'll as to the individuals making up
the community
Mr.. Ridgeways suggestion is not a
new idea. The same plan of publicity
has been used elsewhere and has
proven highly successful. He simply
urges that New England manufac ctur-
ers and producers employ that method
to further the movement for increas-
ing the Importance of New England
products in the markets Of the world.
New England. (and Maine as a
part of New England can well afford
to embrace this new optimism which
will enable us to regain our former
position. Mr.. Ridgeway's scheme is
a good one in that it will keep New
England, as a producing section, con-
stantly before the consumers of the
world.
w. c. Freeman of the New York
Evening Mail addressed the same
gathering and his words are also of
interest because he exhorted those
present to stir up enthusiasm at home
"Enthuse your own people-get them
aroused over New England's great
ness-let them know all about every
product-get them in
tereSted in every new enterprise" he
said. THE way to do it is to publish
the information in straightforward
advertising in daily newspapers.
THE business interests of New
England should pool their issues and
buy advertising space every day in
every daily newspaper in New Eng
land. Never mind the cost-pay it!
Hire the best advertisement writer's
in the country to tell the daily story.
1t will cost a lot of money to employ
them because advertisement writer's
today have a larger audience and d
greater following than the best liter
ary men you can name. Their work
compares with the best literature and
what they write not only instructs
but holds the interest of the people
Evidently Mr. Freeman believes in
his business and is not afraid to say
So The daily newspapers are ac-
a great deal in this cam
paign to revive New England but they
could do more if they would. Our
industrial progress is the most i'm
portant question today and there is no
other way of reaching so many people
as can be reached through the daily
newspapers. BY all means let every
product which goes out from Maine.
or from Massachusetts, or from any
other New England state be plainly
labelled as a product of that state,
