DEMONSTRATION WORK
IN KENNEBEC COUNTY

| When the Extension Department of
the College of Agriculture started Farm
demonstration work in kennebec coun-
ty three years ago they gave the
people in the county to understand
that the county agent A. L. Deer
, ing who was to make his head
| quarters in Augusta, was being
placed among them for their use
1t was not necessary to make any
further explanations to the progressive
farmers Of Kennebec. for they COM
menced to use this county agent at
once.
A few of the ways that the men in
kennebec county have been profiting
from this kind of work is as follows:
Through Farm Demonstration Work;
Farm Management Demonstrations,
Neighborhood Demonstrations; Field
Meeting and Lecture Work; Extension
Schools; Boys Clubs; Cow Test Asso-
Citations, etc.
A short time ago the farmers in the
eastern part Of the county called on Mr..
Deering to help them start a Cow Test
Association and through their support
and interest this association was start
ed. Others have sought assistance
through their associations and have re-
ceived help.
Seventeen neighborhood demonstra-
tons were held last year. These were
demonstrations in treating seed for
smut. testing seed for termination,
pruning and spraying demonstrations,
poultry killing and picking demonstra-
| lions, etc. These were. usually held
| with demonstrators.
One hundred Farm Management
Records were taken this past year in
or about Monmouth. Many of these
farmers who furnished these records
found out as they could in no other
way where the leaks in their business

were successful and appreciated.

SPARKS FROM Maine WIRES
Edwin L. Dyer Of Portland

Former City Clerk Edwin L. Dyer
Of Portland died Saturday after long
illness. Mr.. Dyer had been in poor
health ever since relinquishing the Of
fee Of city clerk in 1908, being practi-
cally blind for the past several years.
He served for a long time in the Office
and it is not too much to say that no
man in public place was ever more
popular than was he with those who
had business at City hall in his day.
Mr.. Dyer was a lawyer by profession
and served as bail commissioner after
retiring from his public Office. But it
was not long before he was obliged to
give up all activity and since had been
gradually declining. His age was so.

Sales Of Worthless Stock

A law was enacted by the Lagisla-
ture in 1913, known as the Blue Sky
Law, which contained as one Of it's
provisions a section prohibiting the
sale of any stocks or bonds unless the
person offering them for sale should
be licensed by the State of Maine
banking department. That limits the
sale Of any and all stocks and bonds to
a licensed dealer or to the owner. who
may sell for reinvestment.
The State banking department is
constantly on the watch to safeguard
the investor and to that end wishes to
have immediate information Of any
parties known to be promoting any
wildcat scheme or operating in any
way at variance with the State law
The department will gladly cooperate
with investors as to securities about
which they may desire information, as
to value of stock or reliability Of the
hackers.
An advertisement asking for infor-
nation relative to agents selling any
stocks or bonds in this State without
first having a license from the State
banking department will be found in
another part of this issue.

The Vanishing Entrance Examination

State Superintendent of Schools Pay
son Smith is much interested in the
ideas embodied in the following edito-
rial from the January number Of Am
erican School, published at Milwaukee,
Wis. and thinks the article worthy of
being laid before our people:
The High schools will be interested
in the latest announcement from New
Hampshire State College at Durham,
to the effect that hereafter graduates
of accredited High schools in that state
will be admitted to the college with
out examination.
Throughout the west the custom of
admitting to college by diploma from
High school is we'll established and
almost universal. But in the more
conservative East the entrance exami-
nation, established under different con-
ditions and for another age, has per-
sisted like an organ whose function is
obsolescent, and the New England Col
lege Entrance Examination Board has
been a great institution. Now comes
New Hampshire state to take it's stand
beside Maine State and admit students
by diploma from good High schools.
that these are both state schools, re-
sponsive to the peoples need: the fact
that the heads of these schools. Robert
J. Alley at Maine and Edward T. Fair
child at New Hampshire are both
Western men, familiar with the custom
Of diploma admission, has doubtless
had influence. But it looks as though
the climate might really be changing
in the Northeast that New England
might be getting to look at this thing
through more modern lenses, and to
think it is better to make it reasonably
easy rather than unduly hard. for
young people to progress from lower to
higher schools on the way to a COM
pleter education; that it is more i'm
portant for more young people to have
access to the opportunities of the high
er schools than it is for the secondary
schools to have a record of no failures
at college among the students they
send up"
