Reports which have been gathered
from the country surrounding Show
hogan indicate that the farmers will
materially reduce the acreage devot-
ed to crops this year because Of the
high cost of labor. Some of the far

much this year as they did last but
last year the acreage was reduced
because. Of the labor situation. There
hogan who are planning to leave
their farms this spring and come into
town where they say the wages are
much larger than they can make on
their farm and the days work is
much. shorter. AS an illustration of
this. there are n farmer and his wife
working in one Of the big mills at
Madison who say their pay check
amounts to about $3.50 per week and
they have decided to remain in the
mill as long as they can make these
wages although they own a we'll
equipped farm in the State which
is lying idle in their absence. One Of
the farmers who runs a milk route
into Skowhegan has told his, Gus
toners that If he was forced to again
raise the price of milk because of the
high cost Of producing his product,
he would go out of business. This
means an inevitable shortage of farm
produce this coming season if the
situation is not remedied with the
resultant high prices which always
follow a limited supply. There Is no
reason to believe that all the farm
ers will quit their farms nor that all
will reduce the acreage devoted to
crops but there is every reason to be-

BLAIR, ASST. TREAS.
Of. c. D. P. ADMITS
OF FIXED QUOTAS

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept 9.-Charges
by Governor Cox that the Republicans
had fixed quotas and planned inten-
sive Embarrassing drives in at least
fifty-one cities and that the National
Committee had a part in assessing the
city quotas, were admitted on the
stand before the Senate Investigating
Committee today by Harry M. Blair,
assistant to Republican National
Treasurer Upham.
Reading from a document, pr 'duccd
by Mr. Blair, which he said, was sent
out in lieu of the much-discusse1
Form 101," Senator Reed brought out
that the treasurer's Office planned to
organize intensive drives in fifty-four
cities, three more than the Ohio Gov
ernor mentioned when he read list Of
fifty-one at Pittsburgh.
From the same docdments Senator
Reed read that the local chairman ap-
pointed in each city was ito accept the
quota placed upon the city by the Ma
tional Treasurer"
"But he never did that to my knowl-
edge" Mr. Blair interjected. He ex-
planned that the plan "in his mind"
was for the State chairman Of the
Ways and Means Committee to select
local chairmen in cities, who then
would be informed by Mr.. Upharl "to
make it Official" and that Mr. Up11m
should pass on the local chairman a
city quota suggested by the State
board.
The testimony at many points show
ed that the ideas, which he had in his
mind were rejected by his superiors
when placed on trial. One was the
famed Form 101."
Mr.. Brewer produced copy OF that
form when it was compared 70 the
copy of the same form, which Cover
nor Cox had sent to the committee by
Edmund Moore, his personal repre-
sentative, the Governors copy was
found to be incomplete.

in downing the Eastport baseball team

All-Stars after that made an easy vic
tory for them. The largest crowd on
any local grounds this season saw the
game, due to existing rivalry between
the two clubs.

MORE RAINY WEATHER
LIKELY BY NIGHTFALI

The storm creeping northwestward
from the lower Mississippi valley, and
which accounted for the hazy and
partly cloudy atmosphere yesterday, is
expected to bring showery weather
late today or tonight, according to the
report of the Weather Bureau. Moder-
ate temperatures will continue.
Only twelve-hundredths of an inch
of rain fell in this vicinity during the
last ten days, which is about one-sixth
normal. This, however, says the fore
caster, has been welcome to the farm
er, since it has dried out the ground
and permitted harvesting of crops, es-
pocially tobacco, fruits and tomatoes.
Corn, it was stated, is ripening slowly,
owing to the cool nights, but late po-
tatoes are doing well.
With the installation Of telegraph
instruments in the Weather Bureau
James H. Spencer, meterorologist in
charge, states that hereafter reports
will be received direct both morning
and evening
