A Statewide Farmers Institute.

AS fitting ending of the work of the Maine
Department of Agriculture, begun last fall, to
bring the producers of the State into solid
business units and bring about better condi-
tions financially on the farm, arrangements
have been made to hold State wide Farmers

also address the meeting. At the close of this
meeting there will be held joint meeting
composed of the executive boards of the ten
farmers organizations for the purpose of dis
cussing and formulating plans for future ac-
tion.
AS to the interest the producers have in this
movement on their behalf it will be demon
strated in the size of the meeting If there is
large gathering the managements of the va
rious organizations will be encouraged to push
the work on large scale, while on the other
hand, if there is small attendance the effect
would naturally be depressing Without the
influence of the oranges such success
would attend our efforts, and we ask tina. this
great organization come to our aid in making
this State meeting the largest gathering of
farmers that ever came together to better
farm conditions in Maine

The members of Seaside Grange accepted an
invitation to visit Morning Light Grange of
Monroe Saturday evening, June 22nd and it
proved an ideal day SO far as weather condi-

delegation from Seaside grange was ready for
the trip, some going by blackboard, others by
private teams. The thirteen miles drive was
one of pleasure, for at this season of the year
all nature is beautiful. On arrival at the viii
lage we received cordial welcome from Mon

delicious food to which our keen appetites did
full justice. A stroll about the pretty village

served. Then a short time was spent socially,
but the lateness of the hour warned us that
preparations must be made for the return
home. We bade our kind entertainers good

not soon forget this pleasant visit with the
members OF Monroe grange.

humor dpring the week and from his antics
with the fishing pole TO giving the parts of
verbs (widely differing things) kept the fell
lows in his tent in a gale of laughter. Thurs
day evening prior to our trip to Liberty we
had visitors from Liberty and Belfast. Mr..
Cassens and his son Rudolph of Belfast came
up to the shore in the launch OF the Hon. L. c.
Morse of Liberty Mr.. Morse was in the boat
and brought the craft up to the ledge while
Mr.. Cassens took photograph of the camp.
The evening of Friday the camp was thrown
into another fever of excitement by the cap
ture of the third salmon. Frank Waterman
was out on the lake, with Dean Knowlton and
John Durham in the boat with him. Johnnie was
holding Franks line when the salmon took the
hook. The bows did not know what to do
with the fish so Frank took the pole and Dean
and Johnnie rowed about the lake for fifty
minutes towing the big fish. Finally they
came to camp with it and pulled it up on the
ledge. 1t was beauty, thirty inches long and
weighing thirteen pounds. 1t was proud set
of boys in camp that night. Thirty three
pounds of salmon in one day; said by the local
people to be the record catch for any one day.
In the evening we went to social at the school
house, and filled up on ice-cream, incidentally
swelling fund for the purchase of maps, etc.,
for the school. Coming back to camp the
woods rang with the songs and laughter of the
boys Ten o'clock found US all in bed. Satur-
day morning we tried to get another fish with
out success. Camp was broken, the grove
cleaned up, a last dip taken in the lake, dinner
eaten, and getting aboard the blackboard we
started for home with happy thoughts of
1912 at Camp North which will remain for
many day. Will we ever forget to speak of
the great fishing? The jolly party consisted of
Frank Waterman, Dean Knowlton, Wesley
Wood, Roy Ellinwood Harry Snow, Gene Gan
non, Wilson Knowlton, Dana Pattee, Donald
Spear John Durham, Cuthbert B. Wilson, and
the camp leader. Already we are talking and
dreaming of Camp North 1918, and could ask
for nothing better than that the weather, and
the fish use US as we'll as this year. The boys
are greatly indebted to Mr.. Thompson, owner
of the Shore for the kindness to them, not only
this year, but for all the years he has pre-
mitted US to use his beautiful grove. Three
cheers for Mr.. Thompson. Three for all the
old boys who have camped here in years gone
by, three more for Camp North 1912 and three
times three for st. Georges Lake and its mag
nifcent salm IN. DIV.

July %. 1874, and was educated in the common

nary, from which institution he graduated in
the class of sc. The next year he commenced

admitted to the bar at the October term of
court, 1870, and went to North Vassalboro
years. In 1876 MIR. Thompson returned to
Belfast. remaining there until 1908. when he
moved to Bangor.
The new reporter of decisions has long been
one of the most prominent Democrats In
Maine. He was a representative to the legis-
lature from Vasalboro in 1876 and was Mayor
of Belfast in 1912. He was appointed col
lector of the port of Belfast by Pres. Cleveland
in 1893 and held that office for four years. He
was then appointed federal referee in bank
ruptcy for Waldo county. He was elected
county attorney in 1906.

Although we'll known in Bangor before NOV
ing here, Mr.. Thompson has made many friends
in the city since his residence here who will
congratulate him upon his appointment AxnD

now ceased to be joke. The many powerful organizations of sportsmen are beginning to realize that quail, grouse and woodcock cannot be ex- pected to raise many young amid this growing host of marauding felines. If they and humane people generally will actively take up this matter, we can soon get wise legislation, capable of en- forcement.
 Meanwhile birds are now beginning to nest, and will be under way with family cares nearly all summer, but particularly in June. It is surely a duty to society of everyone owning cats to dispose of all but one, or at most two, and to keep petted pussy under restraint, feeding it properly, keeping it shut up at night, and not allowing il to roam at large. If we keep eat we should be kind to it, but also be broad enough to be considerate of our neighbors and of the broods of helpless little birds.

Superintendent Parker Proposes 10 Make Parks With Movable Prop critics Without Spear of Grass
 Transferable Equipments.

Special Hartford Correspondehce.t
 Hartford.-Twenty-two playgrounds for the children of the city thls com ing summer is the proposition which the Juvenile commission has under consideration and steps are being talk en to make workable plan winch can be submitted to the proper authorities. A report was made at the meeting of the commission by Miss Mary Graham Jones, presented the results oi the speeial committee of which she and the Rev. John F. Ryan were mem bers. There are now five ehildrens playgrounds which are conducted Ill the summer jointly by the park board and the school board, the park board furnishing the supervision It is pro. posed by the committee to have ff- teen additional playgrounds in opera ton this summer. Park Superlntend- ent Parker's way of getting the prop erty into shape is very interesting It consists simply in leveling the land, setting out plants in tubs, and install ing the apparatus He said that one playground could be fixed up in two or three days. It is not the idea to plant grass or go extensively into decora- tions. The park department has on hand about 1000 butter tubs which are obtained for almost song. These are burned out to remove the grease and painted at cost not to eyceed cents apiece By making borders of these tuts full of barberries or other bushes or plants a bare vacant lot can be made to appear attractive without a spear of grass. We could move our entire equipment from one place 10 an- other without any more trouble than moving furniture" said Mir. Parker. We would get lease of vacant lot for a period and if the owner wanted to sell his lot at the end of the period we could simply pick up our apparatus and plants and go to another vacant lot We would leave the lot better than We found it"
