HOW To OBTAIN APPLE TREES

A pan to encourage the planting of
apple trees of standard varieties, true to
anne, free from disease, of first quality
stock and especially adapted to Maine
conditions, have been adopted and is
about to be put into operation. The CO.
operating parties in the movement are
the College of Agriculture, the Agricul-
tuTal Extension Service, the Maine De-
partment of Agriculture, the Farm Bur-
eau and the Maine Fruit Growers Ex-
change.
Single or group orders for 200 or more
trees will be accepted at the lowest posi-
BILE price, the orders to be received by
Farm Bureau orchard project leaders or
special committees, and by them for
| warded to the Maine Fruit Growers Ex-
change. which organization will purchase
the trees, in carload lots whenever pos
sible, from reliable nursery concerns
Every tree will be inspected, before ship
! ment, by representative of the Maine
Department of Agriculture, and only
clean. No. stock, will be accepted.
These varieties only are to be handled:
Early, Williams favorite, Wealthy, GRAY
enstein, Mcintosh, Northern spy, COM
mercial, Wolf River. Baldwin, Rhode Is
land greening.
They have been selected as having the
most value under Names present home
and export marketing conditions; because
their hardness best adapts them to with
stand the rigorous winter and because
they are in no sense experimental.
Order blanks will be furnished to the
orchard project leaders, from whom any
farmer may secure them without charge.
Printed information regarding planting,
culture and care will also be furnished by
the department of horticulture at the
University of Maine, through the county
agents, for the benefit of purchasers who
may not be familiar with the best meth
DDS of orcharding.
A shipment plan is being arranged,
whereby the trees may be paid for on de-
livery or a sight draft mailed to the pur-
chaser at the time of shipment. No order
will be accepted for other varieties than
those listed, or for less than 200 trees, as
the plan contemplates community plant
ing However, if several persons wish to
make up joint order they may do so, by
delegating one of their mum Der to assume
the responsibility of freight acceptance
and payment.
Already two parties have placed orders
for 1000 trees each, and several other
persons, to whom the matter has been
mentioned, have expressed interest in it
and an intention to take advantage of
the opportunity.

Fire Week

This present week has been set apart
as Fire Week. Its object is to call at
tention to the vast annual loss by fires
which might have been prevented, and to
emphasize the necessity of safeguards
against future fires. The nations total
1lre loss is estimated at $4,000 lives and
SOU, OO0. 600 In property each year.
According to the statistics of the Nat.
lonal Board of Fire Underwriters, there
were 1926 fires on farms in a single
year-l9l8-and the estimated loss was
Sl8. 100, ITO. That means that 80, 200 rural
families in 1918 suffered loss in degrees
varying from slight damage to the loss of
home, live stock and, in many cases, hu-
man life.
Farmers, and all persons in rural COM
munltles, well may join in the observance
of fire prevention week, both individually
and in public gatherings, such as schools,
churches, and farm organizations. Henry
c. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture
Farm fires cost about $40, 600, 900 year.
In 1918 33 per cent of the farm fires were
from causes classed as preventabie, 81
per cent from partly preventable causes,
and 80 per cent unknown but believed to
have been largely preventable. With
inadequate fire fighting equipment on
farms, fires are hard to control. Preven-
ton is the best way to deal with them.
Defective chimneys and flues took toll
to the extent of $l,962, 03l; sparks on
roofs, 81, i81, III; careless use of matches
by smokers and others, SLOT, 987; petro-
leum and its products, S732, OCT; and
stoves, furnaces, boilers, and their pipes,
SOFA, $685.
The largest item listed as partly pre-
ventable is lightning, So, 933, $50.
Fire Prevention Week should be made
special time for looking over the prem
lses to see that the buildings are In the
best practicable shape to prevent and re-
sist fire; that inflammable rubbish is
cleared away; and that habits of safety
are instilled in the handling of matches,
lamps, stoves, and kerosene and gasoline.
Buildings may be made safer by seeing
that the chimneys are without cracks and
free of SCOT, which may take lire and
scatter sparks on dry roofs. Flues which
may become hot should be covered with
asbestos and any nearby walls and cell
ings protected. There should be sheet
of metal under every stove.

MEASURE UP.

sMeasure up, my boy! Measure upp'
This was the advice father frequently
gave his son who was inclined to weaken
when confronted by any tough problem
or unusual situation.
Measure up, my boy! Measure up"
There are times when even the strongest
need the advice. The words have fine,
courageous ring and would make good
maxim for business man. Frame them
and put them up on the wall of your Of
flee, or place of business, where they will
constantly remind you that you must
measure up to the situation that confronts
you, whatever it is.
When you do this-When you answer
the call and bring all your courage ana
resourcefulness to your aid, no matter
how difficult your problem, you are likely
to come through all right There is no
situation that can freeze man when he
measures up and meets it like man.
The trouble with most of US is that we
do not measure up in supreme crisis.
When great responsibilities confront US.
when unusual difficulties oppose US, in
stead of measuring up we are apt to
measure down; our backbones weaken;
we slump mlserably.
When we realize that mind has power
over all things, is greater than all obsta-
Giles, and that man is the master of mind,
we find nothing singular in this. Man
was made to conquer things, not to be
conquered by them. There is something
within you, bigger than anything else on
this planet. 1t is bigger than any circum-
stances, any luck, any accident of for
tune, any situation or emergency that
confronts you. And the more you use
this thing within you, the more you ex-
ercise and develop it, the stronger you
become.
If we had no problems to grapple with,
no difficulties to overcome, we would all
be weaklings Perpetual fair weather
and smooth sea never make good sailors.
1t is battling with the elements, sailing on
through storm and tempest, undauntedly
facing hurricanes and rough seas, that
develop in the mariner his sterling quail
ties.
Great emergencies, tremendous respon-
sibilities, hard times, tight money, COM
mercial crises, focusing the mind on the
solving of tough problems, adjusting
means to ends, calling out all of ones in
genuity and resourcefulness to meet I'M
usual conditions-these are the things
that make great business men. 1t is bat
ting with and overcoming difficulties,
that make great leaders, great men in
every walk of life.-From The New Sue
cess.

SPLIT LOG DRAG

Several of our highways, and all of
the recently worked roads, should
have an application of the split log
drag right after each rain, and as a
matter of fact the log drag is better
than the scrape We have always
believed that, but since the new plans
of building roads have been in opera
ton we have not said great deal
about the old split log, though our
faith was still secure in its efficacy as
a good friend to good roads.
In talking a few days ago with an
expert brick mason he endorsed mos.
heartily our old friend the split log,
and gave his reasons, which to US and
any one who will think, are convinc-
ing that the log is superior to the
scrape if used at the proper time. He
said that he had handled sufficient
amount Of mud or mortar in laying
brick to know that the wood surface
would do great deal better work in
packing and cementing the mud than
an iron or steel trowel, and the same
reasoning applies to the wooden drag
on the roads. A heavy log drag will
have the tendency of packing the
mud, whereas steel. or iron scrape
Will tear it up and has no packing or
cementing qualities at all.
But to get these results the log drag
must be used when the mud is in the
proper condition for the work. After
the road gets dry and hard then the
scrspe should be used, but that will
only have the effect of cutting down
the rough places and does not pack
or cement the road at all. There IS
sound reasoning in this, and the con-
clusion of the whole matter is, use the
split log or the round log drag at the
proper time on all roads and you VII
have a good smooth road and the
heavier the drag the better.

Let's do away with that state high
way commission, at least to the ex-
tent of having arbitrary authority IN
the location of roads and the exoenc--
ture Of road funds and return the
powers that have been taken away
from the counties.-Yorkville EnQul-
rer.
Now you have spoken another para
bic. And you and this editor agree
most heartily except we do not think
the highway commission should be
abolished, but certainly it could De
run at very much less expense and
with fewer high sclaried officers and
clerks and engir ars and ct cetera'
as Ring Lardner would say.
And it would seem that the high
way commission of the county could
look after the upkeep of the road just
as well or even better than it can be
done from Columbia and at less cost.
And here is one place that some OF
the tax can be taken off, or some
good money spent on the roads by
taking off some Of the overhead.
