the difficulties of farming in this section
might be that if the land was divided up
into quarter-section farms of 16O acres,
as in the west, that there would not be
many farms on which it would be possible
to find stones enough to build barn
cellar.
Without in any way disparaging any
other part of New England or the State
of Maine, l am frank to say that l be-
lieve that the county of Washington Of
fers the most attractive possibilities and
opportunities for farming of any section
Of the State at the present time, and
opportunities for settlement and agricul-
tural development which are superior to
anything that the west has to offer.
The extent. of this territory is esti-
mated at 1900 square miles, the greater
part cultivatable land, virgin soil en-
riched by centuries of decaying vegeta-
ton. ''Not only is the ground free from
rocks" says the editor of the Farmer,
''but the soil in the fields which l ex-
amined is absolutely free from even little
stones" AS to the climate he says:
And the climate compares favorably
with the climate in any other northern
section of the country, while as compared
with the climate of the great northwest
which is being filled up with multitude
of our sturdy American farmers, every
thing is in favor of Washington county.
There is usually but small fall of snow,
and many sections of The Barrens are
more favorable to sheep raising, on the
plan which allows the sheep to run upon
the grazing grounds through the winter,
than the great sheep ranges Of Montana
and other parts of the west.
Last week we published an article
fro the Maine Farmer on farming
opportunities in Waldo County. The
editor of the Farmer is doing good
work in this and other directions for the
farming interests of Maine.

Rapid Growth in Exports to
South America.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 8, 1912. Ex-
! ports to South America have shown a
phenomenal gain in the fiscal year which
ended with June 30th. Prior to 1911 the
total value of exports to South America
had never reached 100 million dollars. In
1911, the total was, speaking in round
terms, 100 million dollars, and in the cur
rent fiscal year which ended with the
past month, seems likely to be about
1876 million dollars, having more than
doubled since 1905.
Argentina is the country showing by
far the largest gain in our exports to
South America. The figures now avail
able in the Bureau of Statistics of the
Department of Commerce and Labor, in
dictate that the total exports to Argen-
tina for the complete fiscal year will
amount to about SIS million dollars, against
% IL million in 1905, having thus consid-
erably more than doubled in the period
in question. To Brazil the total exports
for the fiscal year will exceed 30 million
dollars in value, against II million in
1905, an even larger percentage of gain
than in the case of Argentina. To Chile
the total for the year will amount to
about Is million dollars, against 1-2
million in 1905, also gain of nearly 200
per cent. To Uruguay the figures of
exports for the fiscal year which ended
June 3Oth, 1912 will aggregate about
7 million dollars in value, against a
little less than million in 1905.
This increase in exports to South
America, while occurring in large num-
Der of articles, is especially notable in
lumber, leather, mineral oils, and rail-
way material. For example, the exports
of lumber to Argentina in the 10 months
ending with April last, amounted to 5 ga
million dollars in value, against million
in the corresponding months of last year;
and those to other South America, over
3 million dollars, against about 2 million
in the corresponding period of the pre-
ceding year. Illuminating oil exported
to Argentina in the 10 months in question
amounted to about "a million gallons,
against about IS million in the CORE
spending months year ago; and lubri-
eating oil, over million gallons, against
less than million in the same months of
last year. Glazed kid leather exported
to Argentina in the 10 months of 1912
amounted to over l million dollars in
value, against $40 thousand dollars in the
corresponding months of the preceding
year. AUTOMOBILES exported to South
America as whole amounted in the 10
months in question to 1-2 million dollars
in value, against 69S thousand dollars in
the corresponding months of the preced-
ing year.
The total value of exports from the
United States to South America as a
whole was, ten years ago, in the fiscal
year 1902, 80 million dollars. Five years
ago, in the fiscal year 1907, it was 80
million dollars, and in the current year,
as indicated above, will probably be
about 135 million dollars, an increase of
more than $50 per cent in the decade and
Of more than so per cent in the last five
years.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days, when, as
somebody has said, men drop by the sunstroke
as if the Day of Fire had dawned. They are
fraught with danger to people whose systems
are poorly sustained; and this leads US to say,
in the interest of the less robust of our readers,
that the full effect of Hoods Sarsaparila is
such as to suggest the propriety of calling
this medicine something besides a blood puri-
fer and tonic,-say. a sustaining diet. 1t

sures refreshing sleep, and will without any
doubt avert much sickness at this time of year.

Aroostook's Potato Crop.

The continued rains which have visited
Aroostook county during the past three
weeks will curtail to certain degree the
potato crop in this section. Up to few
weeks ago practically 80 per cent of the
seasons planting had been completed,
and this was done when seed was selling
at from So to 50 barrel. All the seed
that was put in on we'll drained land il,
coming along in fine shape; IN fact, the
wet weather, for what seed has started,
eventually will bring the plants along in
good shape; but where seed was planted
on low ground, and did not get started
previous to the wet weather, it will be a
total loss and must be planted over or

HONESTY HIS CAPITAL
When Boy He Returned Pocketbook to
Banker.

Washington, June S.-Senator Nixon
of Nevada, who died yesterday in
Washington, got his first start in life
through returning a lost pocketbook.
The facts were related today by a
California congressman who knew the
senator from boyhood.
According to the story, Nixon grew
up in comparative poverty on an un-
productive farm in Placer county,
California There was not much work
to do on the farm and the boy spent
much of his time at the railroad sta
ton at New Castle, Cal.
One night after the Overland Linn
tied had passed, Nixon found a fat
pocketbook on the station platform.
It contained papers and several hun
dred dollars in money.
He sent the pOcketbook intact to
the address given in the wallet. The
owner was a Chicago banker, who was
travelling east with a party of finan-
cierS. Later this group of men start
ed a bank at Reno, New, and the APP
preciative owner of the pocketbook
sent for Nixon and made him cashier.
One day, George WingfieId of Reno
came to the bank with a diamond
ring he wanted to pledge for a loan
of $40. The assistant cashier of the
bank refused the loan, but Nixon, who
overheard the negotiations, called
Wingfield in and gave him the money.
From that time, Wingfield was a
firm friend of Nixon and gave him
many valuable tips on Nevada mining
property. Wingfield, with the assist
ance of Nixon, afterWard formed the
Goldfield Mines Consolidated, one of
the richest properties in the world.
