Goat Hair and Mohair.

Although 147 farmers reported $50
goats and kids on their farms April
Is. 1910, only SO reported the produc-
ton of goat hair or mohair during
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1912-10-16

1909. These farmers reported les
fleeces, weighing $50 pounds, and
valued at S205 Although the produce
ton is still unimportant. some In
crease is shown over that in 1899.
Many farmers who have goats do moi
produce goat hair or mohair, but it is
believed that the report is somewhat
short of the actual production.
Poultry Products.
The total number of fowls on Maine
farms on April Is, 1910, was 1,736,000.
OF the 46,440 farms reporting fowls.
1929 did not report any eggs produced
in 1909, and 1872 did not report any
poultry raised in 1909. The produce
ton of eggs actually reported for the
year 1909 was 100000 dozens, VAL
ued at $3,56S. 600. According to the
Twelfth Census report the production
of eggs in 1899 was 1891, 600 dozens,
the value being $2,03S,00 The latter
figures, however, are somewhat in ex-
cess of the actual returns at that CEN
sus, because they include estimates
made to cover those cases where the
schedules reported fowls on hand
without reporting the production Of
for 1909 comparable with those pub
lished for 1899, similar estimates have
been made the method of estimate
and the Justification therefor being
substantially the same as in the case
of wool. The total production of
eggs in 1909, including these est
mates, was 14.936,000 dozens, valued
at $3,792, 900. The total production Of
poultry in 1909, including estimates
made on the same basis as for eggs,
was 100000 fowls, valued at Sl,455,-
600.
Honey and Wax.
Although 1871 farms reported f592
colonies of bees on hand April 10. 1919,
533 of these farms, with 1912 colonies
on hand April f5,>1910, made no report
of honey or wax produced in 1909.
The actual returns show the produc-
ton of 112,051 pounds of honey. val
ued at s20,016, and 1850 pounds d
wax, valued at 500: the true totals
are doubtless somewhat above these
figures.
Sale or Slaughter of Domestic Ami
mails on Farms.
The total value of domestic animals
sold during 900 was s6.591,000 and
that Of animals slaughtered on farms
s1,SS9,000, making an aggregate OF
SS,420.000. This total, however, in
wolves considerable duplication result
ing from the resale or slaughter OF
animals which had been purchased by
the farmers during the same year.
The value of cattle dncluding
calves) sold during 1909 represented
nearly three fifths of the total value
of all animals sold.
The census of 1900 called for the re-
ceipts from the sale of all domestic
animalS raised on the farms reporting
and the total value of those slaugh-
tered during 1899, which amounted.
respectively. to $2,372,0o0 and $1,259,-
900. The item of sales is not closely
comparable with that for 1909, when
the inquiry covered all sales whether
of animals raised on the farms report
ing or elsewhere 1t is believed,
however, that in many cases the re-
turns for 1899 also included receipts
from sales of animals not actually
raised on the farms reporting.

Constitutional Amendments and
Public Schools.

Two of the amendments to the Con.
stitution to be voted on at the general
election November 5th have direct
relation to public schools and educa.
ton. One amendment provides for q
state 0ne-mill tax for roads and
bridges. AS q general state policy
this proposed amendment is of vast
Importance to every citizen aDd every
interest in Minnesota. It has direct
relation to the rural schools, and to
the movement for consolidation.
When We have better public roads,
there will follow as direct result an
improved rural school. A statewide
movement which has the effect of i'm
proving our highways will promote
the use and value of the public
schools. -"a"s
Another relates to the office of
County Superintendent of Schools. It
provides for educational and pro-
fessional standards for that Office.
The county superintendents now serv-
ing are in favor Oft. Teachers and
educators believe it wise and will
support it. There is no opposition to
it from any known source. This
standard prevails in many states, and
Minnesota should adopt it. I hope
that all voters who are interested in
the administration of public schools
and in making the county superinten-
dents Office more efficient will vote
YES OF this amendment.

Minnesota May Win Apple Prizes.

One hundred dollars in gold for the
| best ten boxes of apples grown in
/ the northwest; fifty dollars for the
second best and twenty-five dollars for
the next twenty-five ten box samples
are the prizes made possible for ap.
pie growers by Howard Elliott, presi.
dent of the Northern Pacific The ap.
pies are to be exhibited at the North
western Products Exposition to be
held in Minneapolis, Nov. IL to %.
These prizes are offered to grow
ers in Minnesota, the Dakotas, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon
only.
Mr.. Elliott offered the prize of $1OO
in gold and manager Will A. Campbell
of the Northwestern Products Expo
sition Immediately agreed to give $50
apples of the next cmfwypxbgkqjjfh
for the second prize and to sell the
apples of the next twenty-five ex.
hibitors who will be given an honor
ribbon, and to remit to them not less
than $3.50 per box for their ten box
samples.
Thus if an exhibitor gets into the
best twenty-five class he is certain of
the honor ribbon and $25; while he
stands chance to win 800 or $50
in gold. The amount is substantial
but nothing like the value which a
grower or a community will receive
if the big prizes are won by any
one in their neighborhood. There are
also some special prizes offered for
oats, alfalfa and forage crops which
Minnesotans stand a chance to win.
1t costs nothing to enter any of the
contests, not even for the $4,000 prize
wheat contest.
Because of rains in North Dakota
and some parts of Minnesota, the
management of the Exposition, has
decided not to require farmers to send
sheaves of their wheat with their five
bushels of threshed gran to compete
for the $4,000 prize to be given for
the best five bushels of wheat exhib-
tied at the Northwestern Products
Exposition in November. #
The first requiremnt was that the
growers should send five bushels of
threshed grain and from five to ten
sheaves of wheat from the field, but
the rains have made it almost impos-
sible to get good sheaves, hence the
exposition people have waived the
sheaf requirement.
All that is necessary to enter the
contest is to send the five bushels OF
wheat prepaid before Nov. 1, to Will
