Death Of Philip Malone.

The Public Utilities has made the
following report on the death of
Philip Malone. who was killed while
intoxicated July 4, 1916, near Lime
stone, by being run over by Bangor
& Aroostook train.
Our investigation leads us to think
that hte man was not in condition tc
care for himself, and that he did not
realize what he was doing when he
stepped on the track in front Of the
approaching train. We do not find
that any act of carelessness or negli-
gence on the part Of any employee of
the railroad company contributed in
any way to the accident,

EXTENSION WORK
THROUGHOUT STATE
Agricultural Agents Demonstra-
tors to Be Assigned for Duty
in Both Knox and Somerset
Counties-The Spread of This
Line of Work

The appointment Of a County Agri-
cultural Agent for Knox county has
been approved by the secretary of
agriculture and the work will begin in
September.
Several applications for the position
OF county agent have been received by
| the College of Agriculture and an ap-
! pointment will be made the present
month.
| The oranges Of the county are ac-
lively cooperating in making the ne
cessary plans for establishing the work
and it is expected that a permanent
association or Advisory Council made
up of representatives from the oranges
and other farmers organizations of the
county will be formed for the purpose
OF assisting the county agent in plan
ming and executing the extension work
that will be undertaken each year. The
offer Of the Warren Board Of Trade to
furnish an office for the use of the
county agent in the county was ac-
cepted by the joint committees on ex-
tension work, appointed by the two
Pomona Oranges, and Warren will
therefore be the agents headquarters.
| The application of Somerset county
for the appointment of a county agri :
cultural agent demonstration was ap-
proved by the College of Agriculture
early in May, and included in the plans
Tor county agent work in the State for
the year beginning July, 1916. In ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
Smith-Lever law these plans were
| submitted to the secretary of agricul-
tCre at Washington for approval The
approval of the secretary has now been
received and the appointment of a
county agent will be made to take eff
feet September LIST.
1t is interesting to note that in no
county in Maine have the farmers;
shown greater interest in securing a
county agent and every effort will be
made to secure the right man for this
important work.
| The interest in farm demonstration
work in the county is shown by the
fact that petitions for the appointment
OF a county agent or demonstration
were presented from a majority of all
the Oranges and other farmers or
CARNATIONS in the county. and per-
sonal letters We're received from ISL
individuals. In addition, - towns
passed votes at the annual town meet
ing expressing the desire of their cit!
zens for farm demonstration work and
appointing committees to use their in
huence to secure its establishment. 1t
is expected that an Agricultural Ad-
visory Council will be formed by the
various organizations of farmers in the
near future, to assist the county agent
IN planning and executing the demon
stratfon and other extension work to
De undertaken during the coming year
number of applications for the
position have been received and an APP
pointment will soon be made
