Largest Maine Farm.

With the carrying into effect Of plans
of the Summit Lumber Co. of Davidson,
of which Ora fitzpatrick of Houlton is
the controlling owner, there Is soon to
be established what will be the largest
farm under cultivation in the state OF
Maine. With between 800 and 400 acres
of land all cleared and ready for tillage,
the company is making start this sum
mer on a farm that when 1t is fnally
completed will comprise the most up-to-
the. minute and modern agricultural
plant of fully 1000 acres of the best farm.
ing land in the state of Maine, all under
cultivation.
The idea is to clear some every year
from the company's holding at David.
son, utilizing the hard wood in the
clothespin factory and last block mill.
The whole proposition is to be con
Quoted on q scientific basis, and in
charge of the farm the company is to
place Herbert B. Bailey, graduate OF
the agricultural department of the Uni
versity of Maine, who has been doing
similar work at Togus, where he has
achieved an excellent reputation fol
practical farming, and is now considered
one of the leading agriculturists in the
state.
Work is to be commenced soon on the
erection of large and modern dairy
barn, which will have capacity for zoe
head of cattle, but at present the com
pany will put in but half Of that mum
ber, all excellently bred stock. The
barn will be one of the features of the
place, and it will have q full jaime:
equipment Sanitation will be given 6
great deal of attention.
The dairy machinery will be run BY
electricity, and light for the plant viii
be furnished from the same source. The
water supply will also be handled witt
the current, and electric pumps will be
used to fill large tank near the stable
which will not only permit plenty o.
water for all ordinary purposes, but viii
afford splendid fire protection as we'll.
On this farm, special attention Is tt
be given to the raising Of potatoes, ant
the land for that purpose 10 to be clear
ed just as fast as 1t is possible to do so
There is no more progressive business
man in northern Maine than Ora Gilpat
land and has ample means to carry ou
the farm project on large scale, so tha
1t will doubtless prove complete sue
cess.
The site OF the new farm is on th'
main line of the Bangor & Aroostool
Railroad, affording the best Of shipping
facilities and other conveniences
