field, in the fall, before killing frost.
The early selection of seed corn is
something that we cannot pass over
with mere suggestion, it is of d.
rect Importance to each and every
one of us. We realize that there is
lot of work to be done on that farm
just at this time of the year, and to
many of us it seems that as long as
we are having good weather, and the
corn is ripening, with no signs of
frost, there isn't any use of going
out into the corn field to select seed
for next year. The establishing of a
seed corn week, September IA to 10,
has been done as direct outgrowth
of study of weather conditions at
this time of the year, the average
killing frost coming about Septem-
Der 20, and in view of these facts we
cannot afford to overlook it.
We are not going to say anything
about the selection of certain type
of ear with well filled tip, etc., but
we are more concerned with the fact
of seeing everybody out selecting the
earliest matured ears of corn in his
field regardless of whether they have
well filled tips, ETC., or not. We hope
that everyone in the county who is
growing corn will take advantage Of
this time and select their supply of
seed corn some time during the week
of September IA to 10.

we hope all our friends will feel

tract to this part of Maine many sum-
mer visitors, although it has not yet
become so populous a resort as the
coast of Maine farther west or the
Canadian coast farther east. Some
conception of the extreme irregular
ity of the coast may be gained from
the statement that Eastport may be
reached from it's sister town, Lubec,
by three-mile ferry, whereas the
traveller following the shore would
have to walk 100 rocky miles to get
from one of these towns to the other
The Eastport region is one of the
few places in the Atlantic states that
still counts among its inhabitants the
direct descendants of the native own
ers of the soil. These are the Passa-
maquoddy Indians, who form a small
village at Pleasant Point, where they
live as temporal wards of the state
and as spiritual wards of the Catholic
church. Because they have adopted
SO freely the ways of the white man
these Indians have ceased to be pic
turesque, but tourists are interested
in them because of the really artistic
baskets of sweet grass and dyed wood
woven by the women.
Only once a year, on Corpus Christi
day, do they deck themselves out in
ceremonial robes and with songs and
dances recall the savage glories of
long ago. This feast day of course
attracts spectators from all the neigh
boring towns. Though now very up
to-date, the village Of these Indians
as late as 1888 consisted mainly of
tepees, and it was then common to
see them clad in their native cos
tunes. Their school, conducted bv
Sisters of Charity, and their church
play an important part in their lives
and have been a source of great i'm
provement to the tribe.
