been working as demonstrator two
farms reported yields of 407 and 400
bushels of potatoes an acre. Two

is believed that these yields, already
far above average, would have been
increased. During 1913 farm demon
stration work was conducted in six
different towns in washington county:
Cherryffeld, Machias, Dennysville,
Lubec, Perry and Princeton. This
year Columbia Falls and Charlotte will
be included. This year over 80
farmers will participate in the work as
against 26 demonstrations last year.
In Cumberland county small fruit

towns around Portland will this year
be enlarged to include Gray and Var
mouth.
Demonstrations in orcharding were
given in oxford county under the di-
rection of Mr. G. A. Yeaton. AS in

GREAT BRITAIN HAS
SHOCKED PRIDE over
RAILWAY MANAGER.

London, Feb. 15.-The appointment
of Henry w. Thornton, general su-
perintendent of the Long Island Rail
way, as general manager of the Great
Eastern Railway Co., continues to be
the subject of comment by the news
papers and those interested in railway
affairs.
Great Britain has not in many years
had such a shock to her pride as that
experienced by the announcement of
the appointment of Mr.. Thornton
says the Sunday Observer, prefacing a
couple of columns of opinions which
are to the effect that something must
be wrong with the system of promo
tion in the British railways.
George j. Wardle, NJ. p, editor of
the Railway Review, declares that If
the statement of Lord Claud Hamilton,
chairman of the Great Eastern, that it
was impossible to find a capable Eng
lishman for the position, is true, it
is the greatest reflection on English
railway management made in recent
years. But he declares that the state
ment is not accurate and that there
is plenty of ability in the ranks of
British railway men, but that much
of it is stifled and does not get
chance.
William Whitelaw, chairman of the
North British Railway Co. does not
consider that there is any dearth of
first class young railway talent in the
country.
Sir Charles Bine Renshaw, chairman
of the Caledonian Railway. thinks that
one of the difficulties in retaining good
railwaymen in Scotland is the slow
ness of promotion,
The Westminster Gazette concludes
a severe criticism of Lord Hamilton
by refusing to believe that English
men, who are the pioneers in the rail
way construction of the world, are in
capable of managing the Great East
ern.
