Production and
Price

Do the great variety of Skies and the f1uc-
tuating prices seem confusing and perpexing?
Let's reason it out.
What controls price? Production.
AS manufacturers production increases his
production COST per car decreases.
Therefore the plant with the largest production
is in position to give of everything and charge
less for it.
We are the worlds largest producers of Six and
Four Cylinder Automobiles.
Consequently you get in the Overland Six
larger and more powerful notor-a longer wheel
base-the convenience Of electric control buttons
the steering column and almost endless list of
~ other comforts and refinernents
yet what is the price?
Not $1,000 or $1,000 but SI145.
And when it comes to a Six Cylinder perform
ance, remember the Overland Six is the star of
them all.
One ride will convince you.

H|CHM0OR FARM WORK PRO.
CROSSING. VISITORS WELCOME

Orono, Me, June 27-(SpeciaD--
The following was made public today
by Charles D. Woods, director CT the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Station
at Orono:
Highmoor farm was purchased by
the State in 1909 and turned over to
the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station to be used in conducting ex-
periments in orcharding and with
various other crops. During the six
hands of the Experiment Station a
large number of experiments have been
carried out. Results have been OBJ
tanned which are of much practical
value to the farmers of the State.
The results of all experiments are
published as rapidly as possible in the
publicity letters and bulletins of the
station. However, if Highmoor farm
is to realize it's greatest usefulness TO
the farmers of the State, the orchards
and the experimental fields and plots
must be seen. For this reason the
Experiment Station wishes TO extend
an invitation to all who Will. to visi.
the farm at some time during the sum
mer. 1t is hoped that Oranges and
other organizations will arrange for
field meetings at the farm. Arrange
ments for such meetings should be

made with the director Of the Expert
nent Station at Orcno. If such ar
engagements are made the Station will
furnish coffee to the guests and will
arrange to have members OF the staff
present to explain the object of the
experiments.
Highmoor Farm is easily accessible.
1t lies on the State highway between
Lewiston and Winthrop. The Farm
ington branch of the Maine Central
railroad passes along one side of the
farm. There is a flag stop High
moor at which all trains Will stop on
notice to the conductor. 1t is possible
for visitors to come from either direc-
ton by train, spend or hours At
the farm, and still return home in good
season.
While it Is hoped that some of the
agricultural organizations will find it
convenient to visit the farm in Il body
it is realized that many people Will
prefer to come at some other time.
Such visitors are always welcome and
this year they will find eacn expert
mental field and plot plainly labeled
with a card describing the nature OF
the experiment being carried on. This
system is so complete that a stranger
can go on the farm without guide
and obtain a very far notion OF what is
being attempted ard accomplished. In
addition to this the superintendent and
such members of the Station Staff as

may be present at the farm will be
glad to answer questions or TO explain
the experiments more in detail.
The following paragraphs outline
some Of the work in progress at the
farm this year.
There are in the neighborhood OF
1000 bearing apple trees on the farm.
These trees are for the most part be-
tween rs and 80 years old. Before the
farm came into the possession of TIE
Station these trees had been very
badly neglected and were bearing very
few apples. One Of the first things
which the Station undertook was to
see whether orchards which had been
so systematically neglected for 20
years could be brought into profitable
bearing. The results speak for them
selves.
AT the present time various fertilizer
and cultural experiments we'll as
quite elaborate spraying experiments,
in which different plots are sprayed
with different mixtures and in different
ways. are in progress.
Work on breeding new varieties of
apples has been under way for sew
eral years. With this there is nurs-
cry which contains over 1000 seed
lings. Cions from most of these young
trees have been grated on to old
stock in order to bring them into bear
ing earlier. Experiments 10 test the
mutual influence Of stock and cion are
also being carried on. In connection
with this a young orchard Of 500 trees
and containing 10 different varieties
has been set.
OF the experiments outside of or
charding. probably the oat work is
better known than any other. This
year over 20 different varieties are be-
ing tested in field plots. Many Of
these are new varieties originated in
the plant breeding work at the farm
An oat garden contains nearly 1000
rows Each row is planted with seed
from a single plant. Many of these
are hybrids between different varieties
and species. This oat garden repre-
sents the first step in the breeding OF
new varieties. This garden also con-
tains representatives of a large num-
Der Of wild and cultivated species of
oats gathered from all parts of the
world
A fertilizer experiment to test the eff
feet of potash on the oat crop is also
being carried on. In all there are over
200 experimental plots of oats. About
II acres of farm oats are planted with
a variety of our own breeding known
as Maine $40. This is regarded as the
best oat vet obtained for southern and
central Maine. It's average yield for
the last three years on our plots has
been over s. bushels per acre.
There are also cultural and breed
ing experiments with swee, corn and
flint corn. Breeding experiments with
Old Fashioned and Improved yellow
Eye beans as we'll as with some othe"
varieties are in progress. Part Of
these bean experiments are in 4
screened cage which prevents crossing
by humble bees. Pure breeding strains
that nave been sufficiently tested I'M
der this cage are being grown in
isolated, multiplying plots.
Certain work on potato diseases is
also being done at h'ghmoor. This is
more in connection with problems
which especially concern potato rails

The front oval encircles a pleated

gives a flare of color to the costume.

Mr.. Stanley Coxon in his Indian remi-

The arguments on both sides had been
heard. and the case closed for judg-

Suddenly one Of the native pleaders
got up and addressed the court once
more. Mr.. Stanyon suffered it for some
time; but, losing patience. he also stood
up and, addressing the court, said.
"Your honor, would beg with all re-
spect to point out to the court that my
learned friend opposite is entirely out
Of order in addressing the court, and If
I may be permitted to say so the court
has no right to be listening to him."
