the population cannot read. Thus the
Bolshevist ideals must be spread by

a country the size Of India. That the
Mosoovites have been busy in India,
however. there is no dispute.
The main causes Of the unrest may
be epitomixed thus:
The high cost OF living, prices in
some cases having advanced 1000 per
cent while incomes, especially OF the
brain workers. have increased only q
small fraction Of this.
The continuance Of the wartime
restrictions on the conduct Of the pop.

dicated that these would BE- removed
within six months Of the termination
OF the war. -
The desire en- the part Of large Sec
ton Of the sducated classes for q
greater hand IN the government than
has hitherto been accorded natives.
The allegation that the government
has failed to keep its wartime prom.
ises for betterment of general condi-
tons Of living and employment. II be-

held out merely to gain support for
carrying on the war.

Aroostook Farmers Are to
Make Their Own Fertilizer

The Board of Directors Of the
Aroostook Federation of Farmers met
at the Office Of the Corporation at
Caribou. Saturday. Nov. 20, 1920. The
main subject under discussion was
fertilizer prices for the coming season.
The Federation Fertilizer Plant is
nearly completed and the machinery
is now arriving. 1t is now certain that
the Plant will be running before jan
uary and with the twenty-five ton an
hour capacity whictf the factory will
have. will be able to mix all the fer
tilizer needed by its members.
This is the first farmers fertilizer
plant in New England and so far. as
we know it is the only farmers, plant
that will have a complete equipment of
modern machinery. That the farmers
of Aroostook, during the time of such
financial stress can build and pay for
such a factory is a garantee of the
soGdty of the Aroostook Federation
of Farmers. During it's first year OF
business 1t did more business than any
other farmers organization ever or
ganzed. That the Federation, is a sue
cess in Aroostook County, no living
man can longer doubt.
The Board of Directors decided that
the best plan on which to sell fertiliz-
er this season would be to make the

Unrest Grips
India with Reds
Spreading Doctrine

London, Dec. 10-India today Is faced
with what is generally characterized
as one of the gravest crises in its his
tory owing to the deep and wide
spread unrest which has developed
since the end of the war. While this
discomfort is the product Of numerous
causes. in the main 1t is the result OF
the high cost Of living and the conse-
quent hard times for the population
The unrest has. recently manifested
itself in various and serious ways.
There have been many great strikes
in the large Industrial centers. In some
cases accompanied by rioting and
bIoodshed. Organized anti-government
boycotts have been instituted. More
over, extremists have been preaching
revolutionary ideas with the rssui,
that, as announced recently in Com.
mons by Mr.. Montagu, Secretary OF
State for India. there have been sew
eral prosecutions and convictions un.
der the seditious meetings act.
There has been much talk in the
Western world Of activities by Bolshe-
visit propaganda agents in India. Com
petent observers state. however. that
it is doubtful whether the efforts OF
the Bolshevists to stir UP trouble have
met with much success. In this con-
nection it Is pointed out that the print

that the criticism so often charged
against United States exporters of fall
ing to cultivate and maintain perma-
nent trade relations abroad and too
often withdrawing from "a particular
foreign market as soon as more at
tractive opportunities present them
selves at home or elsewhere will not

DIN reply to questionnaires sent out
by the commission requesting an ex-
preston of opinion as to the actual
working out of the export-tradc act.
the replies received for the most part
expressed satisfaction over results OBJ
tanned under the law. 1t was report
ed that the system of collective adj
vertising and selling makes for the
elimination Of much useless expense
and duplication of effort. Several as
sociations reported that their system
Of conducting business abroad IS meet
ing with the hearty approval of the
foreign customers"
The commission says also that the
law instead of increasing the strength
of the already great American indus
trial establishments. has enabled the
smaller concerns to band together in
a fashion to push fully organized ex-
mort trade in keen competitive man
ner which they are not able to do at
home. To this extent. the commission
believes, the law has worked to the
great advantage of the small firms.

Central Markets
for Perishable Goods
lin All Big Cities

washington. Dec Establishment
of central markets for perishahle food
products in all large cities and the
setting I'd of a federal licensing sys-
fem applicable to all dealers in such
foods Mt those markets is purposed by
the Federal Trade Commission in its
annual report today to Congress.
The commissions conclusions are
based on an investigation covering
many months and it declares that fed
eral action Is necessary to obtain ef-
fective regulation and to avoid unfair
and wasteful practices with the con-
seauent effect on prices In the present
system the commission sees as a him
drance to the proper passage of perish
ables from the producer to the con-
umer certain tntertrade dealings which
it believes should be eliminated and it
suggests that the handling of these
products be surrounded by numerous
regulations and restrictions such as
the recording of available supplies.
the dating Of cold storage periods and
provisions for auction marketing.
Facilities should be made adequate.

Queer to ship freely into the central
markets and with proper protection
OF his interests" The marketing sys-
tenn should be SO governed that OBJ
tectionable boarding would be clint
mated and proper coordination of trans
'portation facilities should be accom-
plished to make deliveries certain when
required.
The commission says that 'the
needed reforms can hardly be expect
ed to be accomplished by the initia-
tive of the dealers" and asserts that
state and municipal authorities lack
adequate power to effectively regulate
the handling Of the food supplics
Although cooperation OF state and To-
cal authorities and railroads might ac-
complish the ends sought. the COM
mission believes this plan does not
hold out much hope for q satisfactory
solution of the problem.
Turning to wheat products. the com
mission says 1t has found that con-
centration of the milling industry has
progressed far enough so that "probab-
~ ton of the largest milling concerns
could supply the demand of the coun-
try for -four" The commission men,
tons incidentally that it's figures from
~ milling corporations showed that
their sales had increased from $780,
100000 to a9s4.0o0.ooO between 1914 and
1913 while their annual profits had
grown from $5.5oo.0O0 to $50. 100000 in
the same period.
