FARMERS' MARKET.

In great many cities and towns throughout the county, there has been or are stll maintained, what is known as the "farmer's s market. This market consists of rows of booths or stalls, under cover, which the farmer rents for the day or the season. as he wishes, and brings his produce there to sell to the public.
 This plan not only eliminates the middleman or several middlemen, but it brings strictly fresh vegetables, poultry, etc., direct from the producer to the consumer. The plan is not to try to eliminate ihe middleman as much as 1t is to bring the party who has pro- duce to sell nearer to those who often would buy if they knew where certain fruits, berries or vegetables could be l obtained at reasonable price. ! At the present time this plan should be decidedly popular. The farmers have planted generously, and in spite of a backward spring, the crops in general are reported to be good. Some towns have already laid plans for the opening of these markets, and others already have opened them.
 Why not a community market for Canaan? There will be some who think that the town is too small, and others who will "talk the matter over', until the snow flies, and then we always have a certain number, who act as ballast, to keep the ship on an even keel. The last mentioned are the ones who will act.
 It is not absolutely necessary to rent a building at large rental, and in that way incur bills which might make the profits rather small the first year. One way is to use one or more tents on certain days each week. Then again a farmer, or several farmers, might pool their interest, and advertise that they will be at certain place on certain days. and tell the people what they will have to sell and what the prices will be.
 We have already said the farmers have planted generously. Very good. The women we have not mentioned. They are the ones that usually "do their bit'', whether there is war or peace, silently and unboastingly. They are doing it now. They could, and would, do more if there were strictly fresh vegetables which could be ob- tained for canning. pickling preserves, etc.
 Come on, MT. farmers! Its up to you

difficulty that he was made to under
stand anything that was said to him.

LOCKWOOD TELLS WHY
MASSACHUSETTS MILK
PRODUCTION MORE COSTLY

New York. oct 31.--William 2. B.
Lockwood, professor of dairying at the
Massachusetts State Agriculture col
lege, gave IS reasons why it cost about
a cent more to produce quart OF
milk in assachusetts than in New
HAMPSHIRE or Vermont, the small
amount of ground available for pas
turase. high taxes and cost of labor.
Virtually the only method Of reducing
the cost of production. he said, was to
increase the average production of the
herds. In his judgment it would take
more than % years to bring the pro-
Guction Of cows to the highest stand
ard.
The Massachusetts, dairy farmer lost
money on the present price he receiv-
ed for milk Prof. Lockwood said, add
ing that freight rates in the state pre-
vented milk production in territories
remote from the sections where there
is a large consumption. Bostons milk
supply came chiefly from farms in
Maine and Vermont, he asserted. be-
cause farm labor and grain are cheap
or and pasturage better in those states.

COBURN CLOSES
FOOTBALL SEASON

The hopes Of the football fan for a
good game on Saturday were exploded
Wednesday when it was announced
that the Coburn football team had Civ
en- up the ghost for the season. Can
tain Frude has left school to go into
aviation, two other members of the
team got into trouble with the facul-
ty and were debarred from playing
any more this fall and this left but
eight of the regular eleven to meet
the last going High school team.
Wednesday night but seven of them
and not man for second team
reported for practice and Coach Bag
nell threw up his hands on the whole
thing and declared the team done for
this season.
1t was a disappointment to him and
to the loyal members of the team, as
they hoped to play Waterville on Sat
urday and Westbrook on the next Sat
urdaN, but 1t was no use trying to
play without even a whole eleven out,
three DAYS before an important game.
This leaves the High school without
a game for Saturday. They had orig
inally scheduled a game with Law
renee High school but they petered
out and now Coburn has followed suit
and the boys are looking around for
someone else that thinks they have
a good team and want to have a real
game on Saturday.

VERMONT FARMERS
WANT MORE FOR MILK

New York, Oct. 31.-Testimony that
there is a feeling of unrest among Yer
mont farmers because of the low re-
Enumeration they receive for their milk
was given today by Z. S: Brigham,
state commissioner Of agriculture in
Vermont, before the mayors commit
tee investigating high prices of milk
here.
The cost Of farm labor is evidently
to increase because of the selective
draft, Mr.. Brigham said. so that the
farmer is not likely to engage in steps
tending to increase his products. If
there were further reductions in the
milk prices received by farmers, the
witness though, the owners of COWS
would be inclined to sell their stock
as beef as this would assure them a
substantial price.
Mr. Bingham said inquiry showed it
cost Vermont farmers about $50 cents
quart to produce milk. j. NJ. Fuller. a
dairy expert Of Durham. y. H, testi-
fed it cost New Hampshire farmers
SO cents quart. Prior to Oct /. these
farmers were selling the commodity at
loss. Mr. Fuller said so that the
New England Milk Producers Asso-
citation comprising farmers, decided to
advance the price six cents quart. so
that they are today making a profit.
