George a. Yeaton of Chelsea. assis-
tant horticulturst. since January
1911. and assistant entomologist since
1905. has been dropped from the staff
of the department of agriculture.
purely for political reasons. Commits
sioner Buckley ard State Horticultur-
list Gardner both admit that Mr.. Yeat-
on is one Of the most efficient men in
New England in his line of work and
that they regret deeply the circum-
stances which have led to his dis
missal from the department.
AS nearly as can be learned the
matter of dropping Mr. Yeaton from
the department. on account of his be-
ing an active Republican was first
suggested rs early as last fall to
Commissioner buckley by members
of the Democratic county committee.
At that time Commissioner Buckley
was rot inclined to listen to the suS-
gestion SO that the matter was drop
ped for he time. Shortly before
Conn Buckley left for Washington
certain members of the Democratic
county committee again began 10
clamor for the official head Of Mr.
Yeaton and prevailed supon others
higher mp ir the counsels Of the party
To reaffirm their demands The Sec
ond demand Was not as easily refused
as the first and the result was the dis
missai OF Mr.. Yeaton.
Mr. Yeatons work in Maine or
clards for the past six Years is too
Vel known 10 need any special men
ton in this column. As one fruit
grower expressed IT,; He has left his
impress upon the orchards of this
State and their present condition com
pared with that of six years ago is
the truest testimonial to his work as
assistant entomologist and assistant
horticnturist during the years that
he has been connected with the State
department OF agriculture"
