stein, or Northern SPY when they are
grown under proper conditions?
When our orchardists take the best
care of their trees BY cultivating,
pruning and spraying. they will get
better results. The trees should be
thoroughly sprayed and the ground
we'll cultivated and fertilized. The
trees should be pruned so that they
will be.open headed, thus allowing the
sun and air TO penetrate all parts or
the tree. BY this method the fruit
ought TO be high colored and rree from
imperfections The fruit should be
thinned out SO that the apples will be
OF good size.
When this is done, we will be able
to go to the leading markets Of the
East with "a sample of our fruit, and
tell them that the goods we deliver
will be just the same as the sample
When we have secured this trade we
wiz be able to retain il by having the
fruit up to a high standarc. In this
way we will be able to hold the best
markets for our apples.
I have had called TO my attention
this year boxed apples that were SELL
ing for s3.25. Now, if we can get
prices like that for our first class
fruit. we can use to the best ad-
vantage the other grades which are
lefr.
With apple barrels selling in some
cases as high as forty-two and forty
five cents each and with the high cost
of packing and shipping, we ought to
send our highest grade of fruit to the
markets in order TO compete with 9TH
ers III the market. III this wa w.
shall realize a larger profit from our
orchards, and our farms will increas Sc
III value, more people will become in
terested in fruit culture. and Maine
will take her proper place in orchard :
ing
Each year there are more growers
showing a real interest They are
packing a first class product and re-
ceivo very good returns for a large
part Of their crop. But in spite of
this increase. there are some who are
behind and are not packing right
These are the people who keep the
reputation of the pack of our Maine
apples from being what it should be,
and thereby hurt those who are put
ting up the better grades.
In most commodities now coming 10
tho public it has been found more rc-
munerative to market the best product
properly labeled, thus giving every
evidence Of a square deal on the par,

Strike on Government Work in

Considerable stir and curiosity was
aroused Friday noon when United
States Deputy Marshall n. S. Harmon
and McCleary Of Portland, with Dep
uty Sheriff F. L. Harding of this place
took eight members of the Slavish and
Italian colonies to Bangor to appear
before the United States district court
for violation of the prohibitory law,
The affair is the outcome of a seizure
Of 134 gallons of lager beer just before
Thanksgiving. The beer was libellei
and week ago, after a hearing last
ing half a day. Judge F. F. Withee
ordered the stuff returned. AS a re-
suit of visit of Sheriff Goodrich to
Portland and some correspondence on
the part Of Deputy Harding the fed
eral officers came TO Madison and or
dered eight Of the parties to appear
before the district court. Deputy Hard
ing and Marshal Harmon accompanied
the party to Bangor. Marshal Nc
Cleary left for the up-river region 20
round up some siackers.
Ralph kennison and Jean Lancas-
ter of the University of Maine return
ed home Friday night to pass the hot
idays with their parents.
The entire plant of the Madison
woOlen mill is shut down owing 10 the
failure of tho operators to show up for
work when the whistle sounded Satur-
day morning. The trouble started over
the discharge of two men in the spin
ming department Friday forenoon. Tha
operatives in this department Went
out on a strike at once. A meeting was
held Friday evening, at which repre-
sentatives of the various departments
We're present, with the result above
stated.
The operatives have as vet made no
public statement, With the exception
of one department, which asks for an
increase in wages The mill is at work
on government orders, and it is hoped
by local business men that the trouble
may be adjusted quickly as il long con.
tinued it will be a serious detriment to
tho place. Enough of the strikers re-
manned at work Saturday forenoon ~
