DRY EARNING

l have made a few observa
tons ia the communities Of vii
lard and Lucia. 1t seems thaN
every farmer is "a law unto him
IseIf,' . and the results seem as
varied as the methods. Judge
Maloney ard w. (. Miller, Sr.,
seem 70 have haan tLa most sue.
ceSsful men in the nsighborhooi
Of Lucia. Their land is clean,
showing signs of thorough cuIti-
walton Of course, nearly every
BODY made fairly good crop in
each of The years Of 1911 and
1912 But q dry year like 1913
is what tests i 2 mans farming
skill. Mr.. Miller was away last
year, but q very good crop was
grown on part OF his place.
Judge Maloney raised feed
enough to do him G.. F. Cobb
raised quite a few beans His
land was we'll cultivated the year
before, Everybody else around
Lucia made practically q failure.
Most people have had to work
out for something to live on, or
have been short on teams or tools
or feed. As q result their farms
have grown np ia weeds. Men
who We're starting off in good
shape last spring, but whose land
had not been well cultivated pre-
viously, made comDl te failures.
A, P. Hanna and Billie Maeks
south Of Willard have fields ad-
joining each other. Mr.. Meeks
cultivated his land well, and Mr..
Hanna worked a part Of his well.
| saw their crops in the latter
part of August. They were
splendid on the land that had
been cultivated the years before.
But in the part Of Mr.. Hanna's
field that had been allowed to
grow up in weeds, there was
next to nothing.
[ W. Burt Of the same COM
told me that his deep
breaking had plenty Of moisture
in it when the shallow breaking
was dry. The shallow blowing
was q strip through the field
with deep on each side of it,
showing that it was not merely
an accident due to the lay or ma
ture Of the land.
These observations and other
similar ones convince me that If
the people will keep their land
clean and well pulverized, six to
ten inches deep, theymake some
thing every year. Try it on a
little patch, If you do rot have
faith to try it on A whole field.
If your land blows, list it north
and south.
twenty-five years ago the Pan
handle of Texas couldn't have
been sold for ten cents an acre,
| am sure. l was through there
eight years ago last fall, and
land was then selling at 81 TO
$3.50 per acre, that couldn't be
bought for $50 now. Nine years
ago last summer | heard some
men who had been to Beaver
county, Oklahoma, to see about
filing, say that the homestead
proposition was merely Uncle
Sam betting 100 acres Of laGd
against SIS that = man couldn't
live thara. They wouldn't have
the whole couatry. Last winter
I talked with aman from Oklaho-
ma who said he was sure there
was not a claim in that county
that could be bought for less
than $40 an acre. Fifty years
ago many of the best parts Of
Texas were considered fit for
nothing but grazing, There are
sections Of Kansas that have had
the same experience. l have
faith in New Mexico, and
especially the Estancia Valley.
Yours for development,

1t is with the most sincere sorrow that the
friends of Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Strickland will
learn of her death Aug. 9th after long illness.
Mrs. Strickland had lived in Bangor for a long
time, coming here from Rockland about the
time of her marriage to Charles C. StricKl land,
whom she survived. She was born in Rock
land, the daughter of James Torrey. Although
constant attendant at the First Universalst
church when in good health, Mrs. Strickland
had been unable to attend services for the past
two years owing to illness. Always of kindly
and charitable nature, of late years she re .
doubled her efforts in behalf of the needy and
had been known for her quiet gifts of charity
Her age was 70 years, months and "a days.

Financial conditions at home are good.
There has been no stringency or panic,
but the closing of the stock and cotton
exchanges and the interruption of the
steamship traffic has brought to stand
still the interchange of credits and COM
modities between the Old Wcrld and the
New. The greater part CT the import
trade from Europe already has been cut
off on account of the seizure of railway
facilities in France and Germany by the
governments for military purposes and
the holding of trans Atlantic vessels of
these countries. Merchandise importa-
tions at New York from France and Ger
many alone average $1,00O,0OO daily.
American exports to Europe, under nor
NAL conditions. average 81, 1000, 900 daily,
nearly one third of which is for France
and Germany direct. All this trade, at
least for the moment, is blocked. The
remainder, including the one-third which
usually goes to England, is halted by the
present absence of facilities for financing
the export movement. Stoppage OF for
eign trade already has been reflected by
the piling up Of wheat at ports and IN
land storage points. The great indus
tries also begin to feel the effects OF this
situation The United States Steel Cor
poration, which exports nearly Is per
cent of it's entire product, is laying off
men, several of the large copper compa-
MES are reducing their output by one
half, and operations in the anthracite
fields are being curtaied. OF course, if
these conditions should continue indefi-
nitely because of a prolonged European
war the result would be felt seriously by
the business community and wage-work-
ers. 1t is, how ever, hoped. and expect
ed, that Great Britain will strike such
decisive blow at the German navy as to
ensure the safety of TRANSATLANTIC con-
merce, and in any event it is felt that
some plan will be devised ny which this
country will be able to furnish Europe
with the food supplies and necessities
they must have.

fic is carried in foreign bottoms while
the ships thus subsidized are available az
transports or for other uses in time OF
war. Take the big Cunard feet for ex-
ample. The officers belong to the British
naval reserve. and naval rules and disci-
pline are observed on board the ships. an
additional guarantee of safety Of trans
atlantic travel in time of peace and q
reserve force of trained men in case of
hostilities. This is true of other lines.
Capt. Polack, who brought the North
German Lloyd liner into Bar Harbor the
other day, is an officer in the German
naval reserve. The ships that it cost
millions to build, and that could not be
had in an emergency like the present
under other conditions, are available for
use by the nations which have
subsidized their steamship lines. In this
country the Democratic party has op-
posed the subsidy of shipping in any
form, and has succeeded in defeating all
measures of this kind. 1t would certainly
seem to be a wiser policy to subsidize
American steamship lines than to pay to
foreigners for freight and passage many
times the amount of the subsidies, to say
nothing of giving employment 10 our
and seafarers, securing
naval reserve of trained men and restor-
ing our lost prestige on the high seas.

Capt. H. A. Nickerson, for many years
master of the Bath built ship William P.
Frye, named for one of the greatest and
most earnest advocates that the Ameri-
can ship has ever had, the late Senator
William P. Frye, is now chief officer of
the American. Hawaiian liner Arizonian.
Capt. Nickerson was succeeded by Capt.
Herman Kiehne of Baltimore in the sail
ing ship, which is now due at Seattle.
The Marine Journal.
The reference to Senator Frye calls
attention to a recent speech by Walter
C. Emerson, who thinks he is running
for Congress in the first Maine district,
.in,which he intimated that nothing had
been done by the Maine delegation in
Congress in the past in behalf of our
merchant marine, and he proposed if
elected to do great things in that direc-
ton. Such talk as that must be credited
either to ignorance or egotism, and per-
h APPS to both. While Senator Frye dur
ing his entire Congressional career was a
conspicuous advocate of the American
shipping interests others Of the Maine
delegation, including Congressman and
Senators Blaine and Burleigb, have been
active in their efforts in behalf of our
shipbuilders and seafarers.

Until the day before her death, when
the daily papers reported her critically
i'll, the general public were not aware
that the wife of the President was seri-
ously indisposed, and the news of her
passing away at p. M, August 9Th. was
unexpected and was received with general
expressions of regret and sympathy for
the hereaved. The Boston Herald voices
the universal sentiment when it says;
1t is particularly pathetic that Mr..
Wilson should suffer this loss at time
when the cares of state are exceedingly
pressing, when a world war presents to
him, as the head of great republic,
some exceedingly serious problems. Real
izing this he will subordinate his per-
sonal grief in loyalty to public duty.
And in his sorrow he will have the warm
est sympathy of his fellow-countrymen
of all classes and groups.

Mexico has been lost sight of in the
greater interest aroused by the war in
Europe. At last advices Villa and Car
rama were about to set up rival govern
ments and the latter had demanded the
capitulation of the City of Mexico under
threats of an attack upon the capital,
which could only result in looting and
murder. All of which was to be expect

The historical sketch of Searsmont by
Franklin F. Phillips, read at the centen-
NAL celebration in that town August 18th,
and printed in full on other pages, is a
valuable contribution to local history and
of more than local interest. Many of
Belfast's leading citizens in the past came
from Searsmont and their descendants
are living here today, and later corners
are now active in it's professional and
commercial affairs. Other towns in the
vicinity are also linked with Searsmont
by family ties and it is cause for general
congratulation that so painstaking an
historian and so graceful writer should
have been secured for this noteworthy
celebration.

If the Emperor of Germany had an
idea that the disaffection in Ireland might
handicap Great Britain, and perhaps pre-
vent her participation in the general
war in Europe he has inaugurated, he
was woefully mistaken in his estimate
of the Irish character. While the Irish
have their grievances, as all know, they
are loyal to their flag and have put all
differences aside to fight for the honor
of their common country. incidentally
it may be said that the common estimate
of the Irishman is that he dearly loves
scrimmage.
