Agricultural Department.

Names commissioner of agriculture
William T. Guptill, is a member of a
New England committee of six which
has called A Farm and Business
conference to be held on Friday and
Saturday, Sept. Is and Is at the Aud.
itorium in Springfield, Mass. The
other members of this committee are
Theodore n. Vail of Vermont; E
Bertram Pike of New Hampshire;
Wilson H. Lee of Connecticut; r.
Livingston Beeckman of Rhode Island;
and Nathaniel l. Bowditch of Massa-
chusetts. The idea Of the meeting Is
the establishment of permanent
New England Farm and Business
Union.
The meeting will be held under the
auspices Of the Eastern States Agri-
cultural and Industrial Exposition and
the call says in part;
Eve think a New England confer
ence should be held to work out the
pressing economic problems that arise
from the decline of New England ag-
rjculture and the steady increase in
the manufacturing population. The
purchasing. power Of a days wage in
these six states suffers badly by COM
parison with other manufacturing re-
gions.
The failure of the farms to hold
their own can but have a vital effect
on the situation. Land under GUILTY.
alton in New England shrank AZ per
cent from 1860 to 1910, but the wage
earning population increased $50 per
cent. in the same period. There are
more mouths to feed each year and
less to feed them with
Men who have devoted years to the
agricultural and industrial problems
of New England will address the ses-
sions, all fitted by experience to ad-
wise in the formation Of the proposed
organization. Friday will be devoted
to the business sessions. A dinner
will be given in the evening, at which
definite suggestions will be made.
business session will be held Saturday
morning. an adjournment is expected
about noon.
Commissioner Guptill said on Thurs
day that he should plan, If other busl-
ness permitted, to attend the confer
ence.
