Industrials Estimated.

The statistics furnished IN the Loree
report refer only to railway securities
Foreign investors have also held large
amounts Of American Industrial ana
miscellaneous securities. Bankers place
the ratio Of foreign held American rail-
road securities to industrials at 10 !.
Using this as . basis, it /. estimated
that on January 81, 1915, the par Value
OF foreign held American industriSi
stocks and bonds totalled roughly $780,
600 900. II the liquidation Of these
securities has been at the same rate as
N. liauidation Of American rails then
at least $500, 100000 Of the s675'oOo'ooo
o, industrials have been liquidated.
This would bring the total foreign
liquidation Of all American securities
in the last eighteen months up to more
than $1,000, 100000. 1t has been est
mated at a much higher figure, even up
10 81 1000, 100000.

The Farmers Union Of Maine Has Grown
In Four Years into Attention Of the Country

to act as a buying ana selling agency TO,
the local unions.
During the season Of lsl2-1sl3 tho bust.
ness Of shipping potatoes was demonstrat.
ed by tho successful shipping Of $50 cars
to the markets. Tho membership discov'
cred that In shipping In this way they
were able to save from $50 to 80 per car
This was highly encouraging and they
spread the good news and soon applica-
tons were being received from all over
the State.
Having been successful in shipping po-
tatoes II was decided to undertake the
buying OF supplies. To this end the man.
a&er was instructed to make q contract
for commercial fertilizer. Tho contract
made for fertilizer demonstrated that the
farmers had been paying . very large
profit on these goods. especially when
buying on what is known a. the De
cember payment" plan.
Savins 20 Al Farmers
Az soon a. the price Of fertilizer was
made known the various companies op-
Grating in the State became alarmed and
lowered the price 81 per ton. This dis
count in the price saved tho farmers Of
tho State about $4,000 per year.
This further demonstrated the value Of
cooperation and 1t was decided to buy
other supplies. such az -four. grain. feed.
poisons. etc. It was found difficult to
induce any Of the Wholesale houses in
grain to sell the union. therefore mem
beers Of tho combination organized the
Farmers' Union Grain 4 Supply Co. At

usual success and it, work In distributing

is not available. These figures do not tell
the whole story of what the farmers have
accomplished in the short space Of four
years.
Cooperation IN Maine was very little
known and still less understood. 1t Is no
disgrace to the farmer to say that they
did not understand the methods neces-
sary to successfully conduct large State
wide business organization, any moro
than to say that the city man has no
knowledge to enable him to conduct large
farming operations. Therefore. the great
er part Of the memberships had to be ed
ucated in business methods. The result
Of this effort was surprising and highly
satisfactory. 1t was discovered that the
farmer possessed the necessary qualih-
cations and lacked only in experience and
when the opportunity was presented he
quickly grasped the details and took his
place shoulder to shoulder with the city
business man. This accomplishment Of
the union cannot be given in figures, but
far overshadows all else in the amount Of
good that has been done and its value
will be lasting.
1t must not bs understood that all this
work has been ecomplished without any
friction. for this would not DO true. The
work Of the union was first looked upon
with contempt by those Who were In com.
petition with the organization, but a. time
passed and the interest was seen to b IN

The FaxmesB Union Of Maine u moi
alone confined to Maine. Its great sue
cess has attracted tho whole farming
country and inquiries as to the methods
Of the Maine movement are sought and
forwarded to all parts Of the country. Al
. result the Farmers Union has been
copied and before many years have pass
ed there will be similar organizations IN

there will be a National Farmers Union
that will cement together the farming In
