Agricultural Department

Commissioner of Agriculture VIM. T.
Guptil has received and accepted an
invitation to attend meeting on next
Wednesday of the Portland Farmers
Club, at it's rooms in the Congress
Square hotel. This club is an organiza-
ton which has a great deal Of inter-
est in agriculture, while but few of the
members are active farmers. 1t is a
unique organization, probably the only
one Of the kind in the United States,
but it's quiet work along agricultural
lines is year by year productive of
considerable good.
Mr.. Guptil was not assigned any sub
ject when invited to attend, and is
uncertain as to what he may say, but
he has secured Miss Margaret Maha
ney of Concord, Mass, the expert tur-
key raiser. to attend, under the aus
pieces of the agricultural department
and tell the club members how she has
the breeding and raising Of turkeys at
her home.
II is we'll known that turkeys have
almost disappeared from the State. 1t
will be difficult to find anyone who
can give you satisfactory reason, but
the fact remains that at Thanksgiving
and Christmas, If you have turkey on
the table the chances are about 80 out
of the 100 that the bird came from out
of the State.
Miss Mahaney was formerly a nurse
but her health and other reasons fl
nally landed her on the farm in Con-
cord, where she began to experiment
with turkeys until she has become an
expert and one Of the most successful
raisers in the whole country. She will
tell them how it was done.
Speaking of that. reminded the COM
missioner that the same conditions as
with turkeys existed about the sheen
and bees that formerly thrived in
Maine. Asking mis- listeners what had
been the cause of their disappearance.
he answered his own question in part
by saying the farmers had gradually
given their attention to other matters.
When summer visitors" were also
suggested he said Yes"
