had the right Of way and paused only
long enough in all the towns to hold the
mass meetings which were hurrledly
arranged in advance by the railroads
agent.
The president of the Bangor & Aroos-
took has laid no claim to speech making

annual dinner Of the Bangor Chamber
Of Commerce had represented his usual
efforts Of this sort. He had never sup
posed that he was an orator, but the

the Aroostook trail like whirlwind.
They held meeting every night-a
dozen daytime meetings besides. And
the railroader spoke at each and every
one of them. He did more than merely
speak, He had an idea to Sell-a big, pa
triotic national idea-just as Billy Sum

It's unused potato acres could go this
year into wheat. He also saw that not
day was to be lost. All over the country
there was much talk of the planting of
wheat as well as of potatoes-the Simp-
kinses and the Bliffkinses were hard at
their front lawns and their borrowed
acres. But the question was whether
The regular farmers-the hard headed
fellows on whom the democracy Of the
world would in the long run have to
depend for its precious bread-were
planting the increased acreage in wheat.
Mr.. Todd decided that Aroostook
County was to do its share in increased
wheat production-thatl Is, If he had
anything to do with 1t. He took out his
car and ran up to Orono, where the Uni
versity Of Maine sits In pine grove
above the river bank. DR.. Leon S. Mer-
rill is the representative Of the Federal

real results they cannot sow the same
soil to potatoes more often than once in
four years. In the intermediate sum-
mers the land can be sown to other
crops, or permitted to lie fallow. Too
often this last comes to pass. Or a crop
of hay, as requiring but a minimum
amount of attention, is raised. The
Aroostook soil is excellent for raising
corn or wheat, but corn and wheat have
required too much attention for the
Maine farmers to bother much with
them. And there is far more profit in
giving the necessary attention to the
% per cent of the farm that lies in
potatoes.

terpreter. put his idea over, slowly at
first. but none the less. surely in the long
run.
1t was about the second night of the
trip that the railroader realized that he
had a few of the Billy Sunday qualities.
When he had stepped into the town hall,
which was filled for the evening meet
ing. he heard a big six-foot Maine
farmer saying:
I've heard about this wheat talk.
But | guess that ten acres will do me
this year
1t was that very remark that stirred
the railroader, stirred him as he had not
been stirred in many long day before.
1t was that casual word that led him
from wheat to patriotism and from
patriotism back to wheat again-that
made the women in his audience cry, the
men rise and cheer him until the little
town hall fairly rocked.
Il have heard it said in Maine-right
here in Aroostook," said the railroad
president to the very folk he knew and
tried to serve, that it's not my war, and
that some of you men are going to raise
enough food for you and yours and let it
90 at that. Very we'll then. How do
YOU know that before we get done with
this year the government may not
begin the conscription of food, that a
provost guard will not march up to your
houses and your granaries and empty
your larders?"
Todd talked tacks. He talked with
the rampant enthusiasm of man who
talks that which he believes. And he
won his audience. That night as he
went out of the place the siX-footer
came over to him.

said he, 81 had not thought so much

haps triple it, if the difficulties :"
Of the $50 men and women who had
crowded into that back-country town
hall, which perhaps had received its
stern New England baptism in the firss
fervent appeals of the abolitionists, per"

meeting was over they were promising
increased acreage if the difficulties :.
81 know what those difficulties are
said Todd, "and | think that we can
meet them"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-10

Analysed, there were three Of these
difficulties - seed, fertilizer and labor.
Of these seed naturally comes first. The
farmers Of Aroostook could not buy seed
wheat at any price-even if they had
been willing to pay any price for 1t. The
abroad president sized up that situation.
He telegraphed that night to the general
traffic manager Of the New York Cen
trail at Chicago. The New York Central
man the next day bought the last two
cars Of seed wheat in the Chicago mar
ket and sent them through to Maine by
express. They came through in about
two days. II was not cheap seed. With
express charges it would stand the
farmers of Aroostook about SO bushel
which was nearly a prohibitive price.
But Todd solved that problem, too.
He got Governor Carl Milliken, down at
Augusta, on the long-distance telephone.
He asked if some Of the million-dollar
emergency fund which had just been
passed by the Legislature could not be
applied toward the relief of the north
ern farmers in the seed wheat situation.
Carl Milliken is no theorist. He is
pretty hard-headed sort of executive.
Over the telephone he said he thought it
could be arranged. And straightway
proceeded toward making the arrange
ments by which the thousand bushels OK
seed wheat could be sold to the Aroos-
took men at 81 bushel-which was
fair figure.
After seed, fertilizer. The fertilizer
man from New York said that he would
see that Aroostook County received as
much fertilizer as it could possibly use,
and the president of the railroad said
he would see that it went through as
preference freight-on passenger sched-
ules, if necessary.
Then came the biggest of all problems
labor, The farmers Of the north coun-
try would return 70 it, after they had
been satisfied as TO seed and fertilizer.
They had seen the men go drifting out of
the county. to work along the coast m
munition factories and in shipyards- Be
cause Of this very factor some of them
had planned to actually plant less acre
age this summer than in the years
which had preceded it.
You had faith in me-" said Todd,

RUSK COUNTY BANKS
WILL LOAN ON POTATOES
Policy in the Past Not Changed by
Federal Reserve Beard
Action

While no bank in Ladysmith or Rusk
County, is a member of the Federal
Reserve, the governments action in
permitting Reserve banks to loan
money on potatoes in warehouses, will
not change the policy of the banks
here. In the past loans have been
made by local banks to men of good
standing, with potatoes as security and
the policy will, the News-Budget is in
formed, be continued.
The action of the Federal Reserve
board in referance to potatoes as loan
security is the first step in the direction
of widening the scope of the banks in
helping farmers as well as to stabilize
the price of the potato crop.
Heretofore cotton and cereals, held
as non-perishable, have been the only
products on which reserve banks could
make loans. Under the new rule ware
house certificates for potatoes, may be
used the same as cotton warehouse
and grain elevator certificates as loan
caliateral.

FARMERS PRAYING FROST
WILL HOLD OFF MONTH
Big Corn Crop Depends on Good
Growing Weather Up to Sep
TENDER goth

If Old J. Frost will just keep out
of Rusk county until the middle OF
September there will be a whopping
good crop of corn in spite of a late
start and the cold early summer
Many fields do not need that much
time and talks with many farmers
by the News-Budget in the last few
days in every part of the county
show that much corn will be ripe
enough to be past frost danger In
two weeks. But corn is the only
crop about which there is the
slightest worry.
Bumper is the word for all
else that is grown in Rusk. Hay has
been great and oats will yield 40
per cent more on a concensus OF
opinion than in 1916. The potato
crop will be away above the average
and there is no likelihood of any
farmer having to buy vegetables, the
coming winter. An evidence of the
big crops is the fact that there is
more farm machinery sold right now
by hundred per cent than ever be-
fore and the high prices do not
seem to scare the Rusk county
