A Topic for Farmers.

Editor Kennebee Journal:
Several times in the past year YOU
have had editorials urging the farmers
of Maine to awaken To their opportuni-
ties: to advertise their products and
the beauties and advantages of the
Pine Tree State. On Oct. 5 You speak
of awakening to the necessity of
blowing their own horn bit" and tell
us what the New York exposition will
dc. Now can you not suggest some
thing along the line of a popular move
ment for the farmers. something that
win mean dollars and comforts to this
part of the country. and of material
benefit to the rest of the world?
1t seems to me, and to some of my
neighbors who read the kennebec
Journal, that If you would lead off for
the farmers of Maine as strong as YOU
did in the fight to kill reciprocity and
to save prohibition. we might accom-
plish something worth while.
/ do not care for publicity In the
matter but. acting for the farmers of
Maine as you did last winter. Will you
not give us the benefits of n discus
sion of agricultural topics?

FARMER.
Auburn, Me, Oct. S, 1911.

The above suggestion Of an Auburn
farmers meets instant approval. BY
all means let us have a discussion of
farm topics. The columns of the
kennebec Journal are open. and the
editor would ask only to join the round
table Let us take 1t up for the pur-
pose of swapping notions and inspir-
ing new ideas. We invite the farmers
of Maine to discuss. through our col
umns. the feasibility of plans which
we would like to suggest Some of
the things we have In mind are al
ready under discussion by some of the
oranges, but a general knowledge of
these questions would be of great
value II might be the means of in
teresting farmers who are not patrons.
in grange work. At least, whole
some consideration of such matters can
do no harm.
| one of the things which interests us
more than any other at this time is
system by which the expensive and
luxurious middleman can be done away
with-converted into a farmer or an
honest consumer; who is no longer al
lowed to lower prices to producers ana
raise them to consumers.
The profit between what the farmer
receives and the consumer pays is
enormous. II is usually about double
that which the man who does the work
gets out of it. With few milton un-
organized farmers and few thousand
organized middleman to control the
product of the land, is it any wonder
that the latter class get rich rapidly
while the farmer grinds along, and the
householder gets thinner day by day?
Canadian reciprocity" was one OF
the clap-tr schemes for lowering
prices to consumers" but not in sight
was there any prospect of raising
prices to producers, Now what We
wish to see is plan for direct dealing
between producer and consumer. II
would be worth more to both factions
of which the nation is composed. thar
all the schemes politicians have con
Iceived.
DO away with the middleman ano
farmers would receive more. buyers
would pay less. Investigation shows
that farmers prices are doubled some
times trebled iii passing hurriedls
through the hands( deals) of middle
neu who never even see the goods
They get the profit. the farmer gets tbs
work. the consumer gets soaked
And. adding insult TO injury. insolent
representatives of middlemens trusts
talk of farmers trusts" and selfish
, rural interests" What did they not
call US. in the reciprocity" fight?
Proper cooperation If farming in.

prunks Sentenced to Church.

Perhaps the judges of the Buckeye
State resent some of the aspersions Of
the recent campaign in Maine. At
least, they seem to have been aroused
to new civic responsibilities and to
have arisen to the occasion in a man
ner that should cause the Maine law to
turn green with envy.
If we are to believe the press dis
patches, man convicted of drunken
ness in an Ohio town has just been
sentenced to attend church. Sundays,
and prayer meetings. for six months
To prove to the court that he has fnl-
filled its mandate, he must produce u
preachers certificate, each week, to
the effect that he has obeyed the SELL
tence. Probably If such a manner of
disposing of DRINKS became popular
with courts of the land, Maine would
have far less church attendance than
would Ohio, but still there are some
yes communities which we could
name where the seating capacity might
have to be increased, and it is in such
places as these where they rolled up
large wet majorities in the recent
referendum vote. A Richmond paper
suggests that the Ohio idea is good
one, and thinks that many 3 man
would forego his Jag rather than be
forced to attend divine service and get
into an elevating atmosphere.
