use Of land but the full use of build

is no part of the State made popular
by summer visitors but what is in
Guided in the offer of land and build
ings. A portion of the State House
grounds usually devoted to a lawn Is
to be turned over and the employees of
the State House themselves are to
have a home garden.
I'm my proclamation on Patriots
day, l used these words:
Il urge for all farmers to plan for
the utmost possible acreage of crops
and all town and city jewellers to plan
at least home garden. Housewives
should also do their part in avoiding
waste of food and provide only the
simple diet upon their tables"
"On recent trip to Washington,
was in conference with several mem
bers of the cabinet as well as with
members Of both houses of Congress,
and was much satisfied to learn that
hearty cooperation would be given by
the federal government to the State OF
Maine in spreading the doctrine OF
food production and conservation.
"By far one of the most important
laws in relation to the food supply. an
act to establish the Farm Lands Loan
Commission Of Maine, was passed at
the session of the Legislature just con-
cluded. This law will go into erect
about the middle of summer and is
bound to prove priceless boon to the
farmers who need money for the
financing of their crops. The act
makes the governor. the State auditor,
the land agent, the commissioner OF
agriculture and the State superinten-
dent Of public schools board to be
known as the Farm Lands Loan Com
mission of Maine, who will arrange
that farmers may obtain money at
easy terms until their crops are har-
vested"

on Public Safety. feels particular
pride in his appointment as his ma

Kingsbury, held practically the same
position in the town Of York in the War
of the Revolution, 142 years ago. This
ancestor had lost leg in the Louis

was selected as one of committee to

In the World of Finance and Trade
WAR IS WORRYING
new YORK MARKET
Stocks Are Sold to Discount De
moraEzation of Business.
b InternationaI News Service.

(By InternationaI News serviee.)
New York. June avail street
decided today that II would be wor-
risd for q time over the war and the
prices to be paid by the government.
80 instead Of buying stocks and dis
counting initiation IL sold them to dis
count the demoralization OF business.
Whether business will be demoraliEed
nobody tnevns. but the professionals
were pleased. Besides some Of them
who have no means of knowing any
thing about the matter decided that
thu Interstate commerce Commissi on
would not hand down a decision on
the rate case for sixty days and that
worried them Then most of the
traders were unhappy because they
had neglected 10 20 short Of Stude-
baker, sinclair OIL and Ohio Cities
Gas.
, Perhaps one really good cause for
the reaction was the payment by
banks Of an Is per cent instalment on
the liberty loan, thus temporarily
taking $3.50, 10000 out of circulation.
Money rates did not harden materially
a. q result. but there were important
interests who sold in expectation
that some disturbance would be caused
IN the money market. Just at the
close Of the day there was good buy
ing Of stocks suggesting that the
shares sold were being taken back.
Studebaker had an extreme break Of
5 points and touched q new low level
Of ST. Its weakness caused selling Of
General Motors and Chevrolet, both OF
which have been strong in the face
OF weakness elsewhere in the automo-
bile list

COTTON MARKETS.

New York, June 8.-Improying crop prospects
as reflected in numerous advices caused general
selling Of cotton and weakened the market today
after it had displayed fmnes In the early
trading. The market opened firm at a general
advance OF 2 to Is points. Early weather and
crop gossip was favorable. Liverpool buying
was the principal feature Of the early trading.
At the end Of the first fifteen minutes the mar
ket was steady at a net advance Of II points
The early bulge vas followed by reactions
which carried active months some to 10 points
net lower. The market was quiet late IL the
forenoon. Prices stsadied after the reaction,
working or points above last nights closing
figures. but the recovery vas not fully main
tanned and the tone was rather unsettled.
Prices declined steadily after midday and be-
fore O'Clock showed q net loss n more than
g bale and decline Of almost 90 points from
the high level Of the hrst hour. New Orleans
also weakened sharply and priEate advices noted
an increase IN county selling.

BY-PRoDUcT STOCK FEEDS.
National Crop improvement servlce.l


A lot of well-meaning folks think
that just because certain materials
are left-overs from the manufacture
of food for humans, that it is waste"
and of no value for stock feed. Nothing
is further from the truth. In very
many cases, the so-called "offal' left
after the manufacture of flour, malt
ing, corn products, breakfast foods,
etc, are the best of stock feeds, and
can be bought economically and fed to
bring profit to the farmer. The man
who turns up his nose at the thought
of combining by-products with silage
and other low-priced meat producing
foods, is behind the times and usually
fails to show even interest on his mon
ey at the end of the year. Feeding
wheat, rye or oats, is wasteful and is
robbing man of his rightful preroga-
tive-that of taking that part of all
grain adapted to his needs. 1t is easy
to find out the protein content of any
article, or mixture, of stock feedstuffs
now on the market, and it is merely a
matter of the farmer figuring out the
worth of the foods on their nourishing
power, and then to purchase that
which will give him the most econom-
ical feed. In practically all states, all
feedstuffs must be labeled with their
food content-for those who wish to
see, the facts are printed.

ROTATION LEASES.
National Crop Improvement servIoe.l

tNatfonai Crop Improvement Service.l
There is nothing which endangers
America so much today as our very
much abused farm tenant system. We
ought to have something in every
lease which will protect land and pro-
tect the people as well as posterity
Year to year tenants who scratch a
little and move away, should be COM
PEELED to settle down and landlords
should be be compelled to make a
time rotation lease. 1t is easy to talk
about compelling this and compelling
that, but we mostly are very sloppy
people whose motto is "the easiest
way is the best"
If we let our soil run down, our
whole structure will fall. In order to
obtain larger yield of grain, this soil
must be fed. The colleges and expert
ment stations beyond the Mississippi
river are entirely too timid about
preaching soil conservation. In fact,
all of us are rather prone to tell our
audience what we think they would
rather hear.
