ACCIDENTS Ralph W, the little son of Mr.
and Mrs. Walter j. Clifford fell at his boms
on Northport avenue early last Saturday morn
ing and was severely injured In company
with Albert Fogg he had slept the night before
in his tree house about 20 feet from the ground
in an old willow tree, and just over the picket
fence on the line between the Clifford and
Hazeltine residences. Both boys were up and
Ralph was hanging his bedding on a limb of
the tree when he lost his balance and fell. and
striking the fence injured one rib and cut
cash in his cheek that required eight stitches
to close. His father took him at once to DR..
E. D. Tapley's hospital, where he received the
necessary attention. While driving in his
runaoout, accompanied by his daughter Mrs
Edgar l.. Harding, Fred Timm met with an
accident which resulted in Mrs. Harding being
quite severely hurt. They were driving up the.
hill at Little River on their way to Northport,
when the engine became stalled and the ma.
chine backed down the hill into the bank, and
tipped over. Both occupants were thrown
out, but Mr.. Timm escaped with only slight
twist of his wrist. His daughter twisted an
ankle and badly wrenched one hip and has
since been confined to her home on John street
/ The wind shield of the machine was broken
but otherwise the car was not much DAMAGED
The CORN FACTORY. The plant of the Saco
Valley Canning Co on upper High street is
now ready for operation and the corn canning
season will open or about the second week
in September, to be followed, as last year. by
apple canning. Many improvements have been
--ASNN
largely increased. The acreage of corn this
season, 800 acres is nearly double that of last
year and if the frost holds off so that the corn
can mature the season must be a prosperous
one for all concerned. F. F. Ingersoll, the
superintendent, arrived last week from Port
land accompanied by his brother, F. E. Inger-
soil, and by Mr.. Martin, a representative of
he col q - IL
look after the machines of this company which
are installed in the Belfast plant. The work.
men who have been employed in the plant here
have gone to Winterport TO repair the factory
which the company has recently leased of Lin
coin Blasdell. The company has also built a
plant in Harmony about the size of the Belfast
plant, which is of the largest in Maine.
In the new factory the newly invented sani-
tary will be used. This is new depart
ure AMI the cans are sealed without the use of
solder The Harmony plant will be the first
corn canning factory in Maine to adopt the
cans, which. it is said. will eventually be
used generally. H. G. Ingersol brother of F.
F. Ingerso will be superintendent of the new
plant.
hE FASll hES- "A recent WISH Inc
Pastures was much enjoyed by one of the
University of Maine faculty through the kind
ness of the owner, Mr.. Horace Chenery. Mod
ern methods are being followed in all depart
ments with great success, and among the very
recent innovations is telephone SYSTEM now
being installed. which will connect all points
about the farm so that workmen desiring in
~ e..
out of door stations. MIR. Chenery has field
OF oats which was pronounced by the visitor
the finest he had seen since leaving the grain
belt Of the west. Fine crops of potatoes and
corn had been raised in previous years on the
same ground, which had been enriched by
ploughing in two crops Of buckWheat and one
of corn. Buckwheat is coming into more gen.
eral use as fertilizing crop since its value in
that respect has become known. Mr.. Chenery
has University Of Maine man in charge of
his fine herd of pure and high grade Jerseys,
which are housed in a sanitary barn built from
his own plans. One of the improvements
planned for the near future is the
clearing of quite a large piece of stump
age; and dynamite which Mr.. Chenery has
previously used with much success, will be
employed. The Agricultural College faculty
have had in mind for some time an observa-
ton trip for students in this vicinity, and
which it is hoped will materialize this fall
through Mr.. Chenery's generosity. The party
will probably come on the Saturday morning
train, and devote the afternoon to visiting
some of the up to-date poultry plants, FARMS
ETC., in Belfast. Mr.. Chenery has kindly offer
ed to furnish entertainment FOR them over
Sunday, when ample opportunity would be
offered for inspection of The Pastures The
trip would no doubt be both pleasant and
profitable one for the students and it will
probably be a feature of the fall term.
