and there is total of four and a half
millions of trees. The value of the crop
in 1909 was two and fourth millions
OF dollars and there were produced three
and half millions of bushels.
The past few years had demonstrated
the practicability of cultivating an Or
chard as one would an ear of corn. and
this exhibition demonstrated the fact
that we can grow the finest fruit Of any
place in the world. The State of Maine
had the advantage of this natural re-
source and it stood the State in hand to
develop it. Mr.. Haines said that one
valley in California produced three
quarters of the lemons and oranges con-
sumed in the United States, and the
State OF Washington was trying to raise
all the apples that would be needed.
While Washington did grow good many
apples, no State could produce fruit of
such fine flavor and keeping qualities as
Maine.
Maine, he said, is likely in the next
10 years to become great producer of
apples, and there arises the question of
marketing-to whom shall we sell, when,
and what shall we get? This depends on
three things, the quality of the apples,
the picking and the handling. The old
method OF handling used to .be.tot place
the apples in bins in damp cellars and
keep them there until a fair price could
be obtained, but that period is past. A
good many houses now have furnaces
and the dry cellars are not conducive to
preservation of the fruit. One of the
most important questions before the
people of the State of Maine is that of a
place to keep apples until there is call
for them. In large cities in the West
the apples are placed in cold storage. In
Maine there is no provision for disposing
of the fruit except to the early fall buyer,
who takes it at his own price, and then puts
it away in cold storage. There ought to
be some similar system of handling the
apples in Maine. In Aroostook county
the potato growers have storage houses
and are thereby enabled to secure better
prices for their produce. The solution
Of the problem of the apple grower, Mr..
Haines said, was very simple. The
farmers themselves should arrange for

Rice, to cents a pound; no change
from 1902.
Laundry soap, 5 cents bar; 10 bars,
40 to As cents; no change.
Table salt, l 1-2 cents a pound; no
change from 1902.
As to canned goods, which now make
up large part Of the public diet, they
are as cheap or cheaper than 10 years
ago, with the exception of some kinds of
meats. l have lately bought canned
corn for 80 cents per dozen. Sweet
corn costs one-half cent more per pound
at the cannery than in 1902 Kerosene,
10 cents per gallon; II cents 10 years
ago. Crude petroleum costs the refiner
three-quarters of a cent a gallon more
than it did in 1902, but they sell the re-
fined the same as 10 years ago.
1t is not necessary to quote the prices
of cereal breakfast foods. 1t is plain to
us all that the retail prices of these
articles have not risen in proportion to
the rise in the prices of the grains from
which they are made.
The wheat crop in 1901, from which
the flour was made that was used in 1902,
was 9 1-3 bushels to each inhabitant
while the 1911 crop from which the flour
was made that we are using now was
only 6 2-3 bushels per capita. That thsi
increase of 81 barrel in the past 10
years is justified by the short crop of
last year is shown by the government
statistics. The price paid to the farm

The Fruit Show in Portland.
Address by Gov. Elect Hon. VIM T. Haines.

At the opening session of the Maine
Pathological society in Portland, Tues
day afternoon, Nov. 18th Gov. ELECT
Haines spoke, advocating the erection of
cold storage houses in which to keep the
apples until there is demand for them.
In beginning his address Mr.. Haines said
that nothing he could say in the interests
of agriculture in Maine would be half so
eloquent or convincing as this splendid
exhibit in the city of Portland. He had
for long time been interested in Maine
farming, and particularly interested in
Maine orcharding, and he wished that all
who raised apples might see the display,
as there was nothing like an object
lesson. The influence of this exhibit
would be largely felt throughout the
State. The speaker then proceeded to
give some statistics bearing on agricul-
ture in Maine which were taken from
the figures of the last census. In 1910
there were 60, DIG farms in the State and
these contained six and one-half millions
of acres, an average of 105 acres to the
farm. This showed an increase in the
number of farms of TT over that of
1900, vet there was decrease in the
average The value of the farming
property, including all agricultural i'm
Elements, in 1910 was 5000, 600, 600, an in
crease of $1,000, 600 since 1900. The
average value was $500. an increase of
60 per cent. Still, with all this showing,
there were some things in 1910 that were
not so encouraging as one could wish.
For instance, the improved land consisted
of only about 1900, 900 acres, not SO
much as in 1880 by 124, 900 acres.
Referring to the population of the
State, Mr.. Haines said that it was about
evenly divid I'd between the urban and
rural sections, and he had given these
figures to impress upon the minds of his
hearers the Importance of Maine agri-
culture.
The census for 1910 showed relative to
Maine orcharding, said Mr.. Haines, that
over $4,000 farms have three and one
half millions of apple trees in bearing,
