of Maine cannot get any money to
stock mis- farm.
When the farmer of this state
wants money he has to go to the loan
shark, and there have been instances
in Portland where he has been charged
not ten per cent. a year, but ten per
cent a month"
Arthur Chaplin who is the president
of the board of directors of one of
the local savings banks, said that they
had become discouraged in trying to
aid the farmer, owing to his lack of
regard and respect for his obligations.
He will not, as a rule, live up to his
obligations"
Henry w. Cushman, president of the
Merrill Trust Co, stated in defense of
his institution that 95 per cent. of all
the assets of the bank were invested
in Maine.
An interesting bit of history in de-
veloping farming community was
given by John r. Graham, president Of
the Bangor Railway & Electric Co.,
who told of his experience in taking
over the Bangor & Northern, the cleo
trio line to Charleston, where there is
a line 80 miles long and serving but D.
a good paying proposition, both for the
farmer and the company. He told how
he had cut the rate on potatoes in
half several years ago to stimulate the
farmers to grow them That year the
road handled sc carloads. This year it
is estimated that the total will be in
excess of 700 carloads. He also outlined
the plan for the experimental farm
that the road is establishing for the
benefit of the farmers in that section.
He has placed the farm in the hands
of the University of Maine, and it will
be conducted on scientific principles, It
is planned to have a day each month,
when every farmer that gets on the
Charleston cars to go to this farm
gets his fare free, and also free trans
portation home.
The discussion lasted until late in the
afternoon and in the evening the COM
mittee had a brief executive session to
roughly outline suggestions which are
to be placed before the semi-annual
meeting of the board of trade, which
will be held in Portland, March "a
