255, 900, the greatest change occurring in
the bonds. The population of the State
increased from 649, 900 in 1880 to 1853, 900
in 1912. but this percentage of increase
was not sufficient to have an appreciate
effect on the per capita debt. In 1890
the per capita debt was So. 49,; in 1890 it
was SIS. 81; in 1910 it had increased from
So 40 to So. 10, due to an excessive amount
in outstanding warrants reported as Z
floating debt, but in 1919 the per capita
debt had fallen to $1.67.
In contrast with the State of Maine,
we find that, taking the entire debt Qess

the per capita debt, according to the
latest report, is $685., or S1.85 more
that the per capita debt for Maine. Com
pairing the per cent of decrease in the
per capita debt of Maine and the 48
States for the 30-year period, we find
that whereas the average debt for the
4S States declined nearly SO per cent,
that for the State of Maine was reduced
by more than rs per cent. In the aver
age for the 48 States the amount fell
from S.. 49 to So. So; IN Maine, from S. 40
to $1.67.
At the present time about 08 per cent
of the total population of the United
States will be found in the State of
Maine. and GA per cent of the total debt

to that State.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY.

The interest in the observance of
April Goth as State Fire Prevention Day
is daily increasing and present indications
are that many communities will make a
determined effort to better conditions in
their localities by the removal Of as
many fire hazards as possible.
The Oranges within the State are
taking an active interest in the move
ment and much good is sure to be the
result of this activity.
]. w. Blunt, State Insurance Com
missioner, is endeavoring to enlist the
support of the Grange in the movement
and has requested the Lecturer OF each
Grange to use the idea of Fire Proven
ton as the subject for the meeting which
will be held the nearest to April Both.
State Lecturer C. O, Purinton of Bow
doinham heartily endorses the idea as
conveyed by his letter to Mr.. Blunt in
which he says, 81 heartily endorse your
proposition to request each Grange In
the State to have special program for
the study and discussion of subjects re-
lative to causes and prevention of fire
losses in Maine and especially those oc.
curing in the small villages and rural
ScCIlOllS dSh eVeAy ouOOA ulAlo eC
Grange Lecturer to give the subject
space in their regular program as a
means of service to their community and
for the welfare of our State"
That this is a matter of moment to the
people of Maine there can be no doubt.
In most cases farm fire means total
loss of the buildings as there is not OBJ
tainable the means of extinguishment
that villages and cities have. There
fore fire prevention, intelligently applied,
makes for better conditions in the agri-
cultural sections of our State.
Worthy Master C. S. Stetson of the
State Grange has always been active in
any movement that has for its object
the welfare of the State Of Maine. His
letter endorsing the idea of fire preven-
ton should have much weight and tend
to create wide spread interest in its
observance. Mr.. Stetson says: cit
seems to me that the annual fire loss in
the State of Maine is much larger that
it need be. Any movement looking to-
ward an intelligent study as to the
causes of fires and prevention of the
same should meet with the hearty ap-
prevail of every citizen of the State.
Your plan for having the Oranges set
aside day for consideration and discus
sion of this subject meets with my ap-
prevail. believe that this movement will
result in information and an awakened
public sentiment which will save many
thousands Of dollars to the people of the
State each year."

Maine State Debt.

Funds and investments from 1880 to 1913
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20, 1914.
Preliminary figures from the forthcom-
me- bulletin pertaining to national and
State indebtedness and funds and invest
menls have been given out by Director
W. j. Harris, of the Bureau Of the Cen
sus department. of Commerce. The
bulletin carries information for the State
Of Maine, as we'll as for the other States
and the United States. The data were
compiled under the supervision of Mr..
John Lee Coulter, expert special agent
IN charge of the inquiry on Wealth, Debt
ana aXatlOn.
The bulletin, which will soon be issued,
viii contain statistics for each State for
each year from 1890 to 1913, inclusive,
as tar as statistics are available, and will
also contain details for the year most
nearly corresponding to 1880, thus max
ing i possible to saow the general move
Gen' curing a period Of over 80 years.
lhe bulletin will show the total debt Of

as he various classes of outstanding
bones and special debt obligations to

An Inspection of the tables for Maine
n the bulletin soon to be issued shows
steadily decreasing bonded indebtedness,
whleh fell from So, 35l, 200 in 1890 to $500
III l5l2, while the special debt obligations
u public trust funds increased with each
year from 1891, 200 in 1890 to 81, 254, 600
~ 1872. The floating debt fiuctuated
throughout the period, reaching the
maximum amount, $685., OO0, in 1910.
:. IN the case of funds and investments
u,5 securities show steady increase.
while the amount of cash changed nat
Slrally from year to year, the total of
e ~ cash and securities increased from
a,b6, 600 in 1890 to 81, III, 900 in 1912.
NO sinking fund assets, as such, were
!leeorded in any year, thus leaving the

99eeereased steadily during the period of
SSUyears, and the population increased;
nehce We find marked reduction in the
per capita debt. The ratio of increase
AZ population was, however, so small in
tuphparison with the ratio of decrease in
Me State debt that the decline in the

dafey to the decrease in the bonded in

SPRING WORK IN THE RAsP-
BERRY PATCH
One of Our Most Delicious Fruits.
j. q. NORMAN.

The raspberry is the queen Of all
small fruits. 1t is delicious both as a
fresh fruit and in preserves. and for
culture the raspberry is adapted to
both the garden or the truck farm.
The canes grow rapidly, the better va
r1eties produce heavily the second year.
and patch with proper care will last
for about twelve to fifteen years.
Spring is the best time to set out
planted in the fall alternate freezing
and thawing cause the rootlets to de-
cay, and the plants. unfortunately.
readily winter kill Among the varie
ties on the market the Cuthbert red
raspberry is still at the head Of the list
and in the gardens the canes should
be planted about three feet apart, in
rows at least three feet from each
other. For farm planting rows should
be about six feet distant and the plants
set out about four feet apart, and. if
possible. plant the rows north and
south. which permits the sun to reach
all of the fruit. and thus it ripens bet
ter. The rows should be cultivated
once or twice in a season. During the
summer the most vigorous shoots
should be allowed to grow after being
placed carefully between two wires
which are stapled to posts placed about
twenty feet apart in the row. To keep
the wires firm during the winter clamp
them together with short pieces of
wire.
Winter Care.
In November, when other garden or
farm work slackens, pay the raspberry
patch visit and trim out all the dead
stroy any lurking raspberry-borers.
Trim back the live canes to about four
feet. This compels the plant, when
growth starts in the spring. to throw
out numerous side branches and thus
increase their fruiting capacity. Then
mulch the rows with leaves, if they are
abundant, and weight them down with
a heavy coating of coarse farm ma
nure. good compost or chicken manure.
The decaying organic materials furnish
humus to the SOIL and humus is neces-
sary to supply the plants with suffi-
cient plant food. The rain and soil
moisture dissolve the materials which
plants need, and when the raspberry
plants take up this moisture they grow
rapidly and bear profusely.
Raspberry canes bear about one year
only, but nature provides a new sup
DIV of Young canes so that a patch
cared for as above described will bear
annually and last many years, and
yince the raspberry blossoms late it is
practically guaranteed against injury
from frost For this reason raspberry
crop is almost certainty.
