Mr. MERRILL of Somerset: MI
President, one of the great interests of
the State of Maine is the agricultural
interest, farming, and 1 think every
one who has had any experience or
has any knowledge of the farming in
terests of this State will allow that the
great and one of the most important
propositions for the farmer is the rails
ing of some stock.
You cannot farm it. properly. unless
YOU do raise stock. and feed the pro-
ducts of the farm on the farm, and
thereby build it up and make it better.
That is the only way to farm. Your
fertilizer bill that you have just pass
ed into oblivion is the thing that has
made poor the farmers of the State
of Maine. 1t is all right to raise pota-
toes on, but when you come to rails
ing hay and grain on fertilizer alone,
YOU can't do it. The important thing
is to have the stock in the tie-up, feed
out your hay, feed out your grain and
feed out everything you raise on the
farm and sell it in the mature crop.
the beef and mutton and pork. That
is where you get your money from the
farm, and that is how you build up the
farm.
The Legislature of this State exempted

tary Wilson said, "the whole power
OF the local unions of the American
Federation Of Labor will be availed
of. Their officers and business agents
have personal knowledge OF the men
and localities needing work and can
speedily advise the working force.
The Postoffice Department has
agreed to transmit information and
aid by posting advertising material
also. The Civil Service Commission
has force OF 5000 boards of exam
iners and the country Is divided for
their purposes into IL districts, the
whole available force in each OF

The field force of the Bureaus of I'M

by the Department Of Labor to work

the active assistance Of all organiza-
