{. 4. Embree of the Maine Depart
ment of Agriculture Present at Its
Organization.

The meeting called to listen to {. T..
Embree of the Maine Department Of
Agriculture Thursday evening Of last
week. was more successful than its
promoters had dared to hope II had
been planned as a preliminary con
ference with the thought that if in
terest enough was shown, committees
could be appointed to arrange for the
formation of a union here during the
winter and spring months Those
present. however, had been prepared
to take definite action by what they
had read of Mr. Embree and farmers
unions formed by him in other parts
of Maine The necessary formalites
We're complied with, documents signed
to send to the Secretary of State, and
an organization formed with the fol-
lowing officers:
Charles II. Gardner, President; w.
II. Taylor of Athens, Vice President;
Thomas Dionne, Secretary; Herbert n.
Pratt, Treasurer. A board of acting
directors includes the above, with Lee
roy L. Sanford, Fred L. Moody, Jr r.
A. Kicker, and Fred r. Hill.
These unions are formed under the
auspices of the Maine Department of
Agriculture, of which Mr.. Embree is
a member. Their purpose is to bring
the farmers of Maine in touch with
the sellers of all farm machinery and
supplies, and likewise to enable them
to market their produce direct to the
retailer. Its chief work has been in
the selling of potatoes and the pur
chasing of commercial fertilizer and
cattle feeds. A member of any union
is privileged to ship his produce di-
rect to the agents of his organization,
who are already established in New
York and Boston. He has also right
to purchase from the same sources
his fertilizer and other supplies at
what is claimed to be a substantial
saving over the prices heretofore
known. The Skowhegan Union is
axxionus to include all the progressive
farmers of this section in its member
ship. and would be glad to furnish
through its officers, information TO all
who are interested.
Another meeting is to be held next
Saturday afternoon at 100 in the Mu
nicipal Court room 1t is desired that
all farmers interested in this pro-
iect should be present at that time.
