up again this year as the worlds Sc

A SUCCESSFUL GROWER
Of CORN
Roscoe BigeIOw Has Good Yield and
Wins Prizes. Secret of His Success.


Roscoe Bigelow, one of the we'll
known Skowhegan farmers has become
considerable of an adept in corn rails
ing, having received first prizes at the
Watervile fair as well as high awards
from a fertilizer company. From this
years yield he has $50 bushels from
three acres Mr.. Bigelow claims that
the secret of his success in raising
corn is from the choice of seed, which
he selects from the growing corn. In
this selection he takes that which is
earliest developed and by SO doing gets
his corn ripe about two weeks earlier
than he otherwise would.
He plows his ground in the spring
and spreads 20 loads of manure to the
acre, having plowed seven inches
deep. He harrows the piece five times
and then levels it off. He plants with
planter using quarts of the seed
to the acre and cultivates the piece
until the corn is - feet tall When
he plants the corn he uses 250. pounds
of fertilizer of the corn grade to the
acre, spreading it in the hill. He
plants the u rowed flint corn having
been in the business 13 years.
This year Mr. Bigelow is selecting
the smaller ears of corn for seed as
he believes that deyelopes better on
the ear If no dressing is used about
500 pounds of fertilizer is spread
broadcast with 300 lbs. in the hill He
estimates this year that the corn she'll
ed will average about so bushels to
the acre.

WASHED AWAY BY THE
FRESHET
Section of COiierdam at Shawmut
GOne-Serious Set Back.

The workmen at the 1135-foot dam
of the Shawmut Manufacturing Co. at
Shawmut where the new pulp mill
will be erected, We're considerably set
a section of the Golfer dam which they
had started building was swept away
by the high water The loss, which
will be about $1,000 is chiefly the la
Dor entailed in building the section,
but at this time of the year, every
moment is precious in building a dam,
and it may mean slow work in the icy
weather that is just ahead.
OF the 1875 feet of the dam, all but
250 feet, approximately, is completed.
The new dam is seven feet higher
than the old one, and for that rea
son. all the water now goes through
the small portion in the river, $50 feet
in width, with consequent high
pitch which was augmented by the
copious rains of last week. The men
got the section of Golfer dam partly
completed, and were about to rush
the job on to a finish, when the ele
ments took a hand and swept it all
Off The lumber was recovered.
The Shawmut Manufacturing Co.
has erected wooden structure at the
dam site, 200 feet long by 40 feet
wide, one story high, and have assem-
bled a lot Of pulp making machinery.
1t is expected that they will start
making pulp the first of January, as
the dam will probably be done, Dec.
/, unless the setback of last week af-
fects the situation more than looked
for. A sluiceway for some of the wa
ter will he provided soon, so that
there will not be such a rush of wa
ter through the center.
Pulp mills have brought prosperity
into every section of Maine that they
have entered, and the people of this
vicinity hear with no little pleasure
the announcement that actual manu-
featuring of pulp will start in less
than three months. 1t means a great
deal for this section.

THE SOMERSET POMONA
GRANGE MEETING
Held ut New POrtland-Interestin
Program and an Excellent Dinner

The Pomona held a special session
with New Portland Grange, Tuesday,
Oct. %. Farmers were never more
hurried in harvesting their farm
crops than at this time, and many
who otherwise would have attended
this meeting were Obliged to pay at
tention to the important work of the
farm. The Master, Secretary, Gate
Keeper and Pomona were the only
officers present, brit there were pres
ent active patrons to supply the va
cant chairs.
c. B. Walker. master of New Port
land Grange gave the address of well
come and H. B. Ellis, master of the
Pomona responded to the welcome.
The topic introduced for discussion:
is the outlook for the business of
farming as bright today as that OF
other business occupations? II not,
why not?" The question was opened
by S. F. Emerson, followed by II. b.
Ellis, l.. H. Moulton, G. +. Savage, II.
p. Norton, Fred Jackson, Mrs. l.. ID.
Moulton, A. J. Alillay, c. B. Walker
and VIM. Gordon.
There was diversity of opinion but
a majority of the speakers claim that
the intelligent practical, energetic
farmer need have no fears regarding
the future. OWlhg to the fact that
our great centers of population are
steadily increasing there must or
necessity be a brisk demand for all
the products that can be spared from
the farms at good prices. The trend
in the past has been upward anc there
is no reason in sight why the great
staple products of the farm will not
as a whole, command as good prices
as now. Farming today is regarded
by all classes as an independent, pro-
gressiye, honorable and lucrative
business, and what more need young
couple who have a desire to make
good want than to engage in it as a
j life work.
There was a splendidly written es-
say on The friendship of books" by
