State Of Maine Is 100
 Years Old This Week

The State of Maine this week is celebrating the one bundredth ami versary of it's admission to the Union. From the middle of the seventeenth century until 1920 Maine was part of the commonwealth Of Massa chusetts and was known as the District of Maine. From early. days there were in the district many men who desired the separation of Maine from Massa- chusetts, and worked toward that end.
 The agitation became strongest af- ter the Revolutionary War Maine was strongly Federalist. In the War of 1912 the district was poorly de- fended and the territory east of the Penobscot was occupied by the Brit ish troops.
 That war gave the movement in Maine for separation from Massachu- setts renewed impetus and in 1916 petitions asking for separate State hood were presented to the Legisla- ture. A convention was held at Bruns- wick and the members voted in favor of the step.
 But Sta tehood did not go into eff feet until four years later, and then the fate of Maine was bound up with the famous Missouri Compromise of 1920, Alabama, the ninth State to be admitted to the Union after the original thirteen, had come in in 1S19-- Her admission made the num- Der of slave and free States equal, eleven of each.
 The contest over the extension of slavery was being waged bitterly in Congress, and both sides wanted to increase their representation in the Senate, or, at any rate, prevent any increase on the other side. Naturally, the admission of Maine would mean an increase in the number of Senators from the free States, and this the ad- vocates of slavery were determined to prevent unless Missouri should go in as a slave State, with two votes to counterbalance those of Maine.
 The House of Representatives pass ed a, bill admitting Maine as a free State. The Senate joined the bill for the admission of Maine and that for the entry of Missouri and passed the Maine bill with an amendment per hitting the people of Missouri to form a State Constitution There was much controversy between the two houses, and this was complicated further by the question as to whether Missouri should come in as a slave State or free State
 The compromise, reached largely through the efforts of Henry Clay, provided for the admission of Mis- souri as a slave State, with the pro- Viso that ther eafter slavery should be prohibited in all other Territories west of the Mississippi River and north of 36 degrees 30 minutes, the southern boundary of Missouri.
 In the meantime Maine beat Mis- souri into the Union by entering on March 15, 1920. It was not until Au- gust, 1921, that Missouri became a member.
 The element in Massachusetts that opposed the separation of Maine from the commonwealth fought for a compromise concerning the land | was decided, according to William. sons. History of Maine'' that Cir the division of the property all tho

FARMERS TOLD TO CULTIVATE
 MORE GLOVER

Washington, March 19.---Decline in clover culture by American farmers seems to have gone so far as to threaten to be serious and for the good of the nations corn and wheat crops it is time to get the land back into clover, the Department of Agri- culture advises. Productiveness of land under corn and wheat decreases most rapidly. Rotation of crops is earnestly advocated by experts who say the most important is corn-wheat- clover, with oats in place of wheat where corn occupies the land too long to permit seeding wheat in time.
 Experiments show that in continu- ous culture for 20 years, the yield of wheat fell from 9.24 bushels as an average for the first ten years to 5.79 bushels for the second ten years while in Swear corn-wheat-clover rotation the yield of wheat rose from 9.92 bushels in the first ten years to t27S bushels in the second decade.

 Maine is of peculiar interest just
 now as being the Mother of Prohibi- ,ticn." She was the first State to pass
 law regulating the sale of intoxicat-
 ing liquors, although Kansas was the first to get rigid enforcement. The Trade with the West Indies brought
 great quantities of rum into the State and in 1846 an educational campaign against liquor drinking began there. The first law, which was called Meal Dow's law after the famous prohibit tion advocate, became effective in 1851 It was frequently amended, and in 1885 it was incorporated into the constitution of the State

er produce and sell cotton at less than
profitable price; that the South has
not been receiving fair price for cot
ton for the last sixty years. Every
minimum price recommended at the
various annual conventions of the
Association has been secured by the |
producer. The sinful waste resulting
from the uneconomic handling of the
American crop, resulting in the loss
of one entire crop out Of every ten,
will be removed by the erection, of
warehouses, the securing of govern
ment graders and the formation of
cooperative marketing associations.
We have today the opportunity to
complete this great work, which
means the solution Of the properhand-
ling and marketing Of our cotton
crop. The completion Of this work
means that the manufacturers both at
home and abroad, will send their rep
rcsentatives to the warehouses in the
cotton fields Of the South to purchase
their cotton direct from the mem bers
Of the Association. Your cooperation
in this work means that all Of these
things will be accomplished, and that
present and coming generations will

COSTS LITTLE TO KEEP GEESE
AND DUCKS ON GENERAL FARMS

Geese touch fanks with chickens in
utilizing waste grain about the stables
and feeding pens. In a larger meas
ure than chickens or any other kind
OF poultry, they are grazing stock,
taking their living in large part from
the ordinary grasses of the pastures.
When the facts are taken into consid-
Grafton that the demand for geese is
strong, steady, and extended over
practically the whole year, not con-
