Maine FARMERS
CAN'T BUY fertilizer

D. T. Lincoln, an Atkinson, Me,
farmer, dropped into the Globe Office
yesterday with the answer TO the fol-
lowing Editorial Point. which appeared
in the Globe on April s:
is there any good practical reason
why the farmers Of New England this
year shouldn't greatly increase their
acreage of wheat?"
Speaking for my home State, Maine"
said Farmer Lincoln, Il must say, yes,
there is a reason, botn practical and
good why the Maine farmers can't in
crease their wheat acreage this year
namely, the failure OF the potato crops
of last year. due to rain.
Maine is a great potato State, as YOU
know. consequently the poor crops Of
last year have left many farmers down
there deep in debt Why. know of one
who planted 40 acres last year and. be-
cause of the failure Of his crop. wen:
$4,000 in debt.
What they are up against now Is
where to get money to buy seed and
fertilizer The average farmer cannot
borrow money at bank. and the aver
age moneyed man regards him as
sort OF criminal. Supposing the farmer
has the seed, what would be the use of
, planting without having fertilizer in
plenty for use? The fertilizer costs
about $3.50 a ton. and it takes a ton to
an acre. They can't get it without
credit.
! You want to know what are We 60
Ing TO do about it? / will tell you what
most of the farmers have practically
agreed upon unless something happens,
and that soon. Just plant to the extent
OF their manure piles. That means that
! they will raise about potatoes enough
! for homo consumption.
ut is Just az well that the people
who depend on the Maine supply should
know now that they must not depend
on Maine this fall, present conditions.
OF course. remaining unchanged
Why can't the farmers get fertli-
2er"' Because they already owe for
the fertilizer used last year, and In view
of that debt. the fertilizer people have
not stocked up for this seasons plant

that some one may come forward with
the solution. We want 10 do our bit in

Camp Meade. Admiral, Md, April 20.
4 Philadelphia artist, now secretary
in one Of the knights OF Columbus
buildings at this camp, was applying a
coat Of green paints on the vcranda
posts knights of Columbus secretaries
at Little Penn are working men, and
this one was no exception.
"Didn't think you did such work." said
a soldier who wore the hatcord Of an
engineer outfit
II do everything that is necessary,
he replied. "and I rather welcome a
chance to get outside and play Mt the
painters game"
"T'm painter, too" replied the on
ginccr but not your kind Of n
painter"
Then the newspaper artist began to ask
questions, and learned that his soldier
guest was Alexander \. Epstein, who in
Philadelphia enjoys a good reputation
as q scenic painter. Some of his pic
lures have been exhibited at tho Acad-
cmy Of the Fine Arts and many of his
landscapes occupy places in the homes
of Quaker city art Counoisseurs.
Epstein Is a member OF the 5Oith En-
Einecrs, but in that unit Is never called
upon to- use his brush. Ditch digging,
railroad building and bridge Construc-
tion take up the time OF the regiment,
and the work Is not particularly fact
mating to an artist.

Fpstein reflects the true spirit of the
Liberty division, n spirit that Is assert
ing itself more forcibly each day. There
was time when the boys did little
kicking, but that day has passed.
Kicks were registered before the sol

They are still kicking, but kicking be-
cause they are at Camp Meade and not
in France.

Tho accuracy OF this statement Is con-
taincd in the motto Of the 3l6th In
rantry. Colonel oscar ]. Charles, who
commands that regiment which is an
all-Pennsylvania outfit, wanted a motto
for an artistic crest that adorns the
regimental stationery. He made tour
Of the barracks and obtained flrst-hand
information concerning the desires Of
his men. Then he ordered Nov Or
Never" to be inscribed on the crest.
"rhc men appreciate the war aims
Of America more licculy than tho folks

They want TO go over and are working
lifc Troians to get there. To man

Lyle has recently written to his parents enclosing some in- teresting little verses on his views about the war. The fol- lowing is full of conviction:
 "The Sammies'' The Sammies that are training Are going to France: U. s. bullets will be raining
 On Kaiser Bills advance. We will tear his lines asunder With our big artillery blow And, with roar of thunder,
 On to Berlin we will go- We will yank them from the
 water,
 We will drop them from the And there'll be an awful
 slaughter,
 When the Sammies all get
 there.
 His trains will be derailed his armies meath the sod. He'll know then he has failed. In his partnership tmitt Gott.sit
