AS the seed is the carrier OF the
future crop. seeds and seedage lie at
the base of the gardeners success
Some of the so-ealled seeds never
contained plants, others contain dead
plants, and others diseased plants.
Gardeners cannot afford to plant any
OF these. Every grower should know
what he plants by simply testing his
seed.
Vegetation is rapid in Maine, but
the seasons are not long Gardeners
are fast learning how they may secure
a crop in advance of its normal season;
how to grow long season crops in a
short season country; how to grow two
crops in one season on the same piece
of land Glass, in some form, has
largely solved these problems for the
grower, so that glass is regarded as
essential to the best success in the gar
den The term glass covers the whole
range OF forcing hills, coldframes. hot
beds and glasshouses.

"Ihe Curse of Savings Banks .

pie OF the state have some S45, ooo. 900.
tied up in savings banks at 4 per cent
and the most of this is farmers money.
1t has become mark of dignity to
have sum of money in the bank and
there is more faith in the bank than
there is in the land That the
farm could be better than the bank at
4 per cent must be demonstrated, and
perhaps it cannot be demonstrated to
the present generation. A new one
may come in that will see more dollars
lying loose on the hillsides and in the
valleys than the present generation
dreamed of. Such men are entering
Vermont; they have faith in the land;
but they do not need much to persuade
the native to part with his farm.
THE man who has faith cannot Dor
row any of his neighbors' money from
the bank, for all the bank may lend on
land is 90 per cent of the assessed
value; and the assessed value is half
of the real value or Whereabouts. So
the money of the farmers of Vermont
cannot be used for the development of
their farms; it is used elsewhere in
other industries Vermont land is
MIXED, the cream is skinned, and the
state its land and its farmers show it.
The census figures show that there
were 4o,o7r lumber and timber establish
meents, $4,000 persons engaged in the
industry, of which number 48,S25 were
proprietors and firm members, $3.50
were salaried officers, superintendent
and managers, 1908 were male and

MARKET GARDENING PAYS.
Intensive Form of Agriculture Requir-
ing Patience, Forethought and
Perseverance.

More and more each year are the
people OF Maine going in for market
gardening. Not only are the residents
of the cities realizing the Importance
in these days OF the high cost of living.
of utilizing the little back yard lots at
their homes to supply their own tables
and few of the neighbors with fresh
produce but the farmers who are we'll
located and have the right kind of soil
are embracing the opportunity to help
supply the local or even Boston de
mand for good garden truck and gather
in some OF the ready money of the
early season.
Some interesting points in connec-
ton with the market gardening propo-
sition were brought out recently in a
brief address by Z. NJ. Straight, di-
rector of Farm Demonstration in Cum
berland county under the direction of
the College of Agriculture at Orono on
the funds provided by the General Ed

the work find it very attractive and
highly remunerative The older coun-
try becomes the more intensive its ag-
riculture, so that the percentage of
market gardeners and fruit men in
creases with the years.
Conditions in the United States
would seem to indicate that we are
fastening toward time when more
specialized, more intensive farming,
carried on on smaller areas per indi-
vidual. will be the common practice;
or, in other words, gardening will come
to its own.
"The population has doubled in few
years. and is still increasing at a rate
that is astonishing the world Not only
is the population increasing but the
urban is increasing altogether out of
proportion to the rural population, so
that there are two factors forcing us
into more intensive methods
Some of the problems that confront
the gardener at this season are, the
choice of variety, seeds and seedage.
the handling of seedlings, and the man
ipulation of glass.

being equal, makes all the difference

Good Business and Far Sighted

A bank in Grenada, Miss, offers to
lend to any farmer who will buy land to
cultivate within seven miles OF the
Grenada court house as much as three
fourths OF its value and to lend on
residence built on such land as much as
half its cost, for five years at ! per cent,
with the privilege of renewal for five
years at per cent. The same bankers
make the same offer at other towns in
that state according to a report in the
Worlds Work
A farmer, therefore, who goes there
will need of his own cash only one
fourth of what his land will cost and
one-half what his house will cost.
Assuming that the land is fertile and
that there is no hidden real estate boom
in this offer it is both fair and gen
erous, and it is not philanthropy" A
good farmer can earn this interest and
make enough to pay the debt in less than
ten years; and the banker can afford to
lend money at this rate if he be, as he
evidently is, wiser man than to wish
to get rich quick For he will build up
a profitable patronage for his bank for
long time to come as he builds up the
country round about him. 1t is good
business"
But it is more than that it is wise
and sound and generous business. For
the lender pledges his faith and his
future as we'll as his money to this land
to his own community and to his own
people. His money does not go away
from home nor into speculation. 1t goes
where it will do a service, on sound
economic principles, that man will be
glad to have done when he comes to lie
down to die

of the ultimate cost of his products
Investigation proves that it is the high
cost of selling which has raised the COM
modites to the consumer
THE increment granted to the pro-
Queer, instead of being excessive is much
less than it should be- Hence the pres
ent demand for financing the work OF
the producer by means of systems of
cooperative agricultural banks and of
cooperative agencies for selling All
this demands not only capital but the
highest form of building intelligence
and the highest form of business integ-
rity as applied to banks and commercial
credits"
All this is quoted to show that in our
sister state the same conditions which
confront Maine also exist These points
were touched upon in our last issue by
several of our contributors 1t adds
weight to their arguments to have such
able confirmation About ALL he con-
tends that the farmers are the country's
hope.
